Get ready: iOS 12 update is coming out today

As of 12 this Monday, the deployment of the new update of Apple's mobile operating system, iOS 12, will begin.

The new version of the Apple operating system will be available during the day for all users. Stability is the watchword of iOS 12, now discover the unmissable new features of this iteration.

Group notifications: everything comes to an end

This is one of the most used arguments by the Android addicts when comes the Android vs iOS discussion. Up to iOS 12, iPad notifications were a series of boxes sorted by date of receipt. Now notifications are grouped by application. The consequence: a more legible notification center!

The latest version of the software will be available on iPhone SE, iPhone 5s, iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6S, iPhone 6S Plus, iPhone 7 iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 8 iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone 

also can be downloaded on the iPad Mini 2, Mini 3, Mini 4, iPad 5, iPad Air, iPad Air 2, iPad Pro 9.7 ", iPad Pro 12.9" (1st generation), iPad Pro 10.5 ", iPad Pro 12.9 "(2nd generation) and iPad (2018).

This was the Apple event in which he presented his new iPhone

So you can download iOS 12 on your iPhone or iPad. MacOS will block traces and accesses without permission

According to Apple, this update will allow the most common tasks to be carried out more effectively. For example, users can open the camera with 70 percent more speed and when there is a heavy workload, the apps will open twice as fast. 

Among the new features included in iOS 12 are the possibility of knowing how much time you spend browsing your device with the option 'On Screen Time' and a new configuration of Notifications, which allows you to have greater control of the alerts that are sent during the day. The idea is that the user can reduce interruptions, manage notifications in real time from the blocked screen, send those that are from a specific app to the Notifications Center or deactivate them all.

Like every year, after announcing its new iPhone models in a Keynote, Apple deploys the latest version of its operating system for smartphones and tablets, iOS 12.

It must be available on all iPhone from 5S from Monday, September 17. This new version is supposed to improve performance in general and allow application developers to offer more interesting experiences, especially in terms of increased reality.

iOS 12 also offers new features and useful options, including management of its time of use of the iPhone, as well as an improvement of Siri and notifications.

In addition, Siri will also make smart suggestions about alerts taking into account their interaction with them. The intelligent assistant will recommend shortcuts from your interaction with the applications.

On the other hand, the message chains and the types of notifications will be grouped so you can see the most important things at a glance.

Google and Apple have chosen to focus on the consumption of your smartphone/tablet in their new operating systems. On iOS 12, a new section in the settings called "Screen Time" is appearing. It has three main parts:

Screen time: In this section, you will see which applications you use the most in the day.

Stop Time: This allows you to set a time slot during which your iPhone / iPad will not send notifications. Useful for the night.

App Limits: It allows you to set a maximum time per day for applications individually or by "group" (games, entertainment, social networks, etc.).

Another innovation that will bring iOS 12 will be the possibility of making audio and video calls through Facetime with up to 32 people at a time. The animojis will also be updated with the arrival of new figures of a koala, tiger, ghost or tyrannosaur.

Older iPhone and iPad more swift thanks to iOS 12

This is perhaps one of the best news for old iPhone and iPad users. The new iOS 12 allows a significant gain in speed on old machines. I hastened to install the beta on my iPad Mini 2, and the report is clear: unusable it is once again usable on a daily basis (it still remains slow). From tonight I test on an iPhone SE to see if the latest compact iPhone also gains velocity.

To download iOS you must enter 'Settings', 'General' and choose the option 'Software update'. Keep in mind that the process can last for the first few hours and that some of the functions may take time to work correctly.

Remember that it is important to make a backup before downloading. You can do it from iCloud by going to Settings> Apple ID> iCloud> Your device> Copy to iCloud.

While Google still has not set the main service for video calls (Hangout, Duo ...) Apple remains faithful to Facetime and offers, with iOS 12, its most important update. The main feature is the arrival of group calls up to 32 people. Now remains to see the stability in use!

The new version of Facetime will not be available during the launch of iOS 12 today, it will wait until the fall to use it.

You can also connect your device to a computer and perform the 'backup' from iTunes.

Taking into account that since 2010, they point to iPhoneHacks, the Cupertino firm has always released its update package at the same time, it is expected that today, September 17, follow the same steps. Based on this, we can expect Apple to launch it at 10 o'clock in the morning, time in San Francisco (USA), or what is the same: at 7:00 PM in Spain.

Other new features of iOS 12 are ARKit 2, a tool that enhances the development of games and applications in augmented reality; the use of avatars in our image and likeness (" Memphis "); the intelligent management of our photo gallery and various options to protect our privacy.
