Lock an app to require Face ID, Touch ID, or your passcode for access. Information from the app won’t appear in other places across the system, including search and notifications, so others don’t inadvertently see sensitive information. And just as easily hide an app to move it into a hidden apps folder that’s locked.

With the satellite capabilities on iPhone 14 or later, you can stay connected with friends and family over iMessage or SMS even without cellular or Wi-Fi service. When texting people on iMessage, you’ll also be able to use key features like sending and receiving messages, emoji, and Tapbacks. And all your iMessages sent over satellite are end-to-end encrypted. ¹

On-device categorization organizes your messages and helps you stay up to date across all your accounts. The Primary category includes your most essential emails — like those from people you know and time-sensitive messages. And the rest of your email will be organized into new categories like Transactions for receipts and order confirmations, Promotions for marketing and sales messages, and Updates for newsletters and everything else.

Game Mode improves in-game responsiveness by doubling the Bluetooth polling rate with wireless controllers, giving you an edge you can feel right away. It also reduces audio latency when using AirPods. ⁸ And Personalized Spatial Audio is enabling game developers to create an immersive soundstage, putting players in the middle of the action like never before. ⁹

Game developers are already using the new API to bring this experience to games with advanced sound design — like Need for Speed: Mobile by Tencent Games and EA coming this fall. In addition, voice quality improvements for in-game chat and streaming deliver 16-bit, 48kHz audio and support for dynamic head tracking. ⁸ And AirPods Pro now deliver our best wireless audio latency ever for mobile gaming, giving you even more of an edge. ⁸

Enhance Dialogue helps you better hear what’s being said onscreen, especially when loud sound effects or music is playing. It’s now available on recent iPhone and iPad models when playing through the built-in speakers, wired headphones, AirPods, or other Bluetooth-connected speakers and headphones. ¹⁷

Enhance Dialogue applies machine learning and computational audio to deliver incredible vocal clarity by actively detecting speech across audio channels. So now even whispers are heard more clearly amid the music and background sounds of your favorite movies and shows.

The Home app now supports the core functionality of robot vacuum cleaners, such as power control, cleaning mode, vacuum, mop, and charge status. They can also participate in automations and scenes, and respond to Siri requests. So you can add them to your cleaning routines — or tell Siri to do some spot cleaning in the living room.

Eye Tracking makes it possible for people to control iPhone with just their eyes. ²¹ Music Haptics syncs the iPhone Taptic Engine with the rhythm of songs so those who are deaf or hard of hearing can enjoy the Apple Music catalog. ²² And Vocal Shortcuts helps people with severe atypical speech record sounds that trigger specific actions on iPhone.
