Offline maps have been added to the Maps App, allowing users to download maps of specific areas and use turn-by-turn navigation offline, view estimated arrival times, explore locations in the Maps App, and more.

The privacy and security-based feature will be rolled out to select hotels by the end of this year, starting with IHG branded hotels and resorts.

AirPods welcome powerful new features such as adaptive audio, personalized volume, and conversational awareness to redefine the personal audio experience. In addition, automatic switching and call control features have been improved to make AirPods easier to use.

Home App adds functionality that allows users to view up to 30 days of activity history for locks, garage doors, alarm systems and touch sensors. In addition, two popular HomeKit features-tap unlock and PIN code-now support Matter-compatible locks, giving users more ways to control their homes.

Reminder App adds shopping list, which can automatically classify added items to make shopping easier. Users can change how items are categorized, and lists will remember user preferences.

Users can now wake up Siri simply by saying "Siri." After waking up Siri, users can say multiple commands in a row without waking up the voice assistant again.

In the Photos App, People Albums uses device-side machine learning to identify more photos of people close to the user, as well as more photos of cats and dogs.

Privacy updates include extending communication security beyond messaging apps to help keep children's messages safe when sending and receiving content via AirDrop, Contact Posters, FaceTime messaging, and when sending content using Photo Selector. The functionality also extends from still images to video content. New feature "Sensitive Content Warning" helps adult users avoid accidentally seeing nude pictures and videos. As with communications security, all image and Media Processing Service processing for sensitive content alerts occurs on the device side, and Apple cannot access the content.

Accessibility updates include Assistive Access, a customizable interactive interface that makes it easier for users with cognitive disabilities to use iPhone independently; real-time voice features that help users who cannot speak out loud when they are talking face-to-face, on the phone, or during FaceTime calls; personal voices that help users at risk of aphasia create sounds that resemble their own; Finger reading helps blind and low-vision users read text on physical objects pointed at by the device.
