In recent times smartphones have become devices that are not only used for making calls, and in that same ideology, your iPhone has many features that will always keep you connected. In addition to sending text messages, you can use iMessages containing images and videos for other iOS users, or create a video call with iOS and OS X users with Apple's FaceTime.
With the free service of iCloud, you will be able to synchronize your calendars, contacts, notes, bookmarks and many other data between all your computers and devices. And of course, when you're out and about, you can use the Maps app to find out where you really are, as well as create a turn-by-turn route to wherever you want to go.
Social networks Facebook and Twitter are already built into your iPhone's operating system, so you can stay connected internally in most apps and share photos with others, as well as transfer things to nearby iPhone users directly and without the need to connect to a Wi-Fi network.
All the advantages listed above are added to a modern system, with a clean design and a minimalist look. Your iPhone's interface is designed to prioritize only what you're doing, as it has few boxes or boxes. Apple's idea is that you think that applications work “edge-to-edge”, that is, a new concept in which apps use all available pixels on the screen. In short, it's a totally simplified layout, and even the font (typeface) has been replaced by Helvetica, which half the world praises for its fantastic readability.
With all this emphasis on simplicity, we'd like to let you know that there are little details that you'll definitely be surprised and delighted with, such as the way application icons “float” on the Home Screen over the plan photo. when you tilt the device slightly, resulting in the wonderful parallax effect, as if you were looking into a box with depth instead of a flat screen.
So, in this week's episode of “Tek MenosFios: X-Ray to the iPhone” we're going to give you an overview of the main new features present in iOS 15.

For quick access to some of your iPhone's essential controls, swipe up from the bottom of the screen to open the Control Center🇧🇷 In this section, you can turn on/off various functions, such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, adjust brightness, use music playback controls or even switch to Airplane Mode, a feature that disables all phone activities. But it doesn't stop there, as there are also shortcuts to features that can be useful, such as Camera, Calculator, Timer and Flashlight, not forgetting immediate access to AirPlay and the function of finding AirDrop devices nearby.
2 Notification Center
Swipe from the top of the screen to view your notes and reminders, weather information and messages from a variety of sources such as Facebook, Twitter and other updates.

3 Multitasking window
Press the Home button twice in succession to view recently used applications and tap on one of them to open it, as this functionality is much faster than trying to locate the icon on your Home Screen🇧🇷 And on the other hand, if one of these apps is not working properly, on this screen, swipe it up to force it to quit.
4 Home Screens and Folders
Until iOS 6, it was only possible to create up to 11 Home Screens, but since iOS 7 there is no longer a limit for this. In the latest operating systems, items in a folder can now also span more than one screen, so that it's possible to gather as many apps from the same category as you want in a single folder.
5 AirDrop Sharing
This is a technology built into your iPhone's operating system that lets you share things with other iOS users over a direct (ad-hoc) connection. Just activate AirDrop on the Control Center and, start sending or receiving photos, links and other types of files from a variety of applications.
6 Enhanced Security
On your iPhone device the enhancement includes the Touch ID fingerprint sensor, located under the Home button, which has been implemented in devices since the iPhone 5S. With Touch ID you will be able to unlock the device and authorize purchases with just one touch, without the need to enter the password. Now, Apple's Activation Lock feature, which is present on all models, means that even if your iPhone has been reset and all data erased, your device can only be reactivated using your access code, where this that is to say, if your iPhone is stolen, nobody else will be able to use it.

It should also be noted that Siri works through a connection to Apple's remote servers, meaning that an internet connection is not needed to use it.
8 App Photos
Among all the essential applications that receive changes with each new version of the iPhone, the Photos App is the main one that stands out, from which you can automatically organize your photos into “Meetings and Events", in "Collections” (pictures taken at more or less the same location) and in “Years🇧🇷 You can now browse up and down this hierarchy to find the photo you want to view, or share the entire group of images at once.
9 App Camera
The Camera App has also received many improvements, where you can create “live” filters, only from the iPhone 5 onwards. how to take photos in continuous mode (Burst), where you can capture ten photos per second and automatically choose the best image among them, and where the rest is in a pile for you to review and choose the ones you want to keep. Starting with the iPhone 6, you can shoot in 1080p at 60 frames per second, record in slow motion at 240 frames per second and make tim-lapse videos, that is, footage in which time seems to run faster.
