In the moment. iOS 15 is packed with new features that help you connect with others, be more present and in the moment, explore the world, and use powerful intelligence to do more with iPhone than ever before. New experiences. True connections. Staying in touch is more essential than ever. With SharePlay, you can watch together, listen together, and share your screen right inside FaceTime.^1 FaceTime calls also sound and feel more natural. And Messages makes it even easier to find and enjoy the great content shared from friends and family. FaceTime Introducing SharePlay Keep FaceTime conversations going as you watch TV shows and movies, listen to music, or share your screen. SharePlay is an entirely new way to have experiences with family and friends, no matter the distance.* Watch together Stream movies and TV shows while on a FaceTime call with friends. With synced playback and controls, you'll see everyone laugh, jump, and react to the same moments at the same time. And the volume automatically adjusts, so you can keep talking while you watch. [ ] More about Watch together Watch together Watch your favorite videos, movies, and TV shows in sync with friends. The following apps and streaming services will support SharePlay later this year. Disney+, Hulu, HBOmax, NBA, twitch, TikTok, MasterClass, ESPN+, Paramount+, Pluto TV Listen together Get together and listen to an album with friends. The whole group can see what's next and add songs to a shared queue with synced playback and easy-to-use controls. Share your screen Share your screen with everyone in your FaceTime call. Browse apartment listings, swipe through a photo album, or teach someone a new skill, all while seeing and talking to one another. Spatial audio Individual voices sound like they're coming from the direction in which each person is positioned on your screen, helping conversations flow more naturally.^2 Grid view Grid view shows people on your FaceTime call in the same-size tiles, so you can have better conversations with a large group. The speaker is automatically highlighted so you always know who's talking. Portrait mode Inspired by Portrait mode in Camera, this new video effect puts the focus on you, not what's behind you.^2 Mic modes Voice Isolation minimizes background noise and puts your voice front and center. When the music or sounds around you are as important as what you have to say, Wide Spectrum leaves the ambient sound unfiltered.^2 Animation of available Mic modes for FaceTime: Default, Voice Isolation, or Wide Spectrum. [ ] More about Mic modes Mic modes With Voice Isolation, your mic uses machine learning to block ambient and distracting noises (like dogs barking or a TV in the next room), to make sure your voice comes through loud and clear. Wide Spectrum lets your friends on FaceTime hear every sound happening where you are. It's ideal for taking music lessons or for when you want someone to listen to what's going on around you. FaceTime links Schedule and share FaceTime calls with a unique web link.

Invite anyone to FaceTime Now you can send friends and family a link to connect on FaceTime -- even if they're using Windows or Android.^1 And it's still end-to-end encrypted, so your call is as private and secure as any other FaceTime call. Messages and Memoji Shared with You Now the links, images, and other content shared with you in Messages are featured in a new Shared with You section in the corresponding app. You can even reply right from the app you're enjoying it from -- without going back to Messages.
