Built-In Sweep Texting

The OS then predicts which word the user is trying to type based on the path they trace across the keyboard. It appears that users will need to use the space key between words which differs from most sweep texting applications.

Apple Arcade

Mobile gaming has changed a lot since the days of playing Snake on your Nokia. Apple Arcade is another big step in the mobile gaming industry. With this subscription service, users pay a flat rate of $4.99 per month. Each subscription can be shared among 5 family members.

Dark Mode

Of all the features of iOS 13 dark mode may be the most practical. Everyone seems to be tethered to their phones these days.

Reminders Updates

The revamped app allows you to view tasks based on sections regardless of which list they’re on. These sections are “Today”, “Scheduled”, “Flagged” and “All”.

You can still access your lists in the standard view but having these sections helps organize tasks. Being able to quickly access everything you’ve scheduled for a particular day without having to check each list is a game-changer.

Advanced Photo and Video Editor

Photos App

The photos app has received several major updates to make accessing and organizing your memories easier than ever. Many Apple users purchase their phones for their fantastic cameras. Knowing that photography is important to its users, Apple made the way photos are presented in storage much more intuitive.

You can scroll through your photos organized by day, month, location and more. This makes finding your best shots much easier.

Better Street View

Apple Maps famously got off to a rocky start when the app was first developed but it’s come a long way. The app now displays road hazards, accidents, and traffic updates on the main map without needing turn by turn directions. The audio instructions are much more intuitive as well.

You can share your ETA and updates easily with family and friends. Look Around is one of the most exciting updates. This is parallel to Google’s StreetView. It’s currently only available in areas of California and Nevada right now but the data is being expanded to more locations.
