Apple has already announced most of the improvements in these upgrades, ranging from iOS 15 to Watch OS 8, and users are anxious to check them out on their devices. iOS 15 includes new features like Live Text, Focus Mode for alerts, and a redesigned Safari layout. iOS 15 may be installed immediately on iPhone through Wi-Fi or via iTunes from any Mac or PC, much as previous iOS upgrades.

Here's a list of phones compatible with iOS 15
The iOS 15 upgrade is compatible with the iPhone 12, iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 12 Pro Max, iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, iPhone XR, iPhone X, iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, iPhone SE, and iPhone SE Plus (2020). The update will come pre-installed on the iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 13 Pro Max, and iPhone 13 small, and it will also be available for download on the iPod touch (7th generation).

One of the most notable improvements in iOS 15 is SharePlay, which allows you to share the movie or show you're viewing with your friends and family. With the latest iOS version, iPhone and iPod touch users will share their screens with others during FaceTime chats. FaceTime has also been upgraded with a grid view in which the speaker is automatically highlighted at the bottom.

With iOS 15, users will be able to invite others through a link. This implies that users of Windows and Android will be able to join a FaceTime call as well. Via the Photos app, the upcoming iOS version will have a section called Shared with You, which will display links, photos, and other information shared in Messages. Other Apple programmes, such as Apple Music and Safari, will also have a Shared with You area.

In iOS 15, Apple will include a Focus function that allows you to concentrate on your job or take a break. It will present you with a selection of distraction-reduction choices, such as driving, fitness, gaming, and mindfulness.

Redesigned alerts and summary support will be included in the upcoming iOS version. Apple Maps, Safari, and Siri, which come pre-installed on the iPhone, will all receive upgrades. Live text support and live text translation will be available in photos in iOS 15.

How to download iOS 15?
Users with an eligible iPhone or iPod touch will download iOS 15 by heading to Settings > General > Software Update whenever the update is available from Apple. If you have previously selected that option on your Apple device, the update will be downloaded immediately. You may also use a Mac computer to download iOS 15 to your device manually.
