Apple has recently announced some of the features it will include in the latest version of iOS, also known as iOS 12. As we mentioned before, Apple is recently trying to improve the performance of iOS, instead of just adding a bunch of cool features, as it always does. But still, there are a few features that will be included in the newest version of iOS which could assist you during the day.

Screen Time

Maybe one of the most important features and also a favourite of mine is the “Screen Time”. Screen time is basically a monitoring system of your device’s usage. It can track the time you spend using a specific app. The company developed new tools to make the users aware of the time they spend using apps and websites. The iOS can now generate some daily and weekly Activity Reports for several things like the amount of time spent in Social Networking, Entertainment or Productivity apps. This also includes a graph with your activity throughout the day, the longest session you had by using your device in general etc.

New tools are also developed for limiting the daily usage of specific apps and websites through the system. In that way the users would be notified when the limit is reached as a method of rehabilitation on their addiction to the digital world.

Set Downtimes

Downtime is another useful tool in which you can set specific times during the day where you wish block any apps and notifications from disturbing you. This can make you more calm and relaxed when you most need it. For example, you may consider setting up Downtime during bedtime.

Kids applicable

As a parent, you can find those kind of tools very useful. You can set limits for your kids, without hearing complaints. This will also help you to avoid transforming your kids into digital-world addicted persons. You can also monitor their usage from afar. Definitely adding exceptions for apps or websites in these occasions is a must. For example, you want your child to constantly have access to calls and messaging in order to be able to reach you at any time.

A feature that will “save lives”

In my opinion, this feature can save lives, because it changes the perspective on how we use our devices and makes us aware of how much we’re addicted to them. There are a tone of things to do outhere; in the real world. Being aware of our digital addictions, is the first step to a balanced, normal life

Have you tried unlocking your device, when suddenly everything disappeared from the interface? Touch screen didn’t respond to your commands? Did you find it difficult to get the keyboard to come up when you’re supposed to send an important message? Camera couldn’t manage to capture quickly an amazing moment in your life? Having any Apple device with iOS 11 installed, all of us have faced a lot of those issues .

Looking back at the past, I believe that Apple succeeded in bringing the worst of the iOS with iOS 11. Suffering from a big number of bugs, glitches and non-responsive moments, iOS 11 is definitely the most hateful version of our iPhones and iPads.

Is iOS 12 becoming one of the best versions yet?

Since the latest Apple WWDC, which was carried out on the 4th of June, Apple seems really determined and focused on improving performance and stability of iOS, instead of just throwing random features on it. Fortunately, recent iOS 12 beta testing shows that the performance has indeed improved in several aspects. Actually, during the beta testing, some of the testers even said they haven’t faced any bugs or lag. This is something nearly impossible if we consider that it is only a beta version of what we expect. As most of us know, it’s natural for a beta version to come with a large amount of issues.

Talk to me about numbers

Apple mentioned on its website some specific performance metrics to present how fast the iOS 12 has become. They presented just a few of them as follows: Up to 70% faster swipe to Camera, 50% faster keyboard display and 2x faster app launch under heavy workload.

Get things done, automated, faster without any obstacles, is the first principle which every tech company has to follow. Will Apple succeed in building the best iOS version until today? What’s your opinion? Do you have any first impressions to discuss while using the beta version of iOS 12? Let us know in the comments below!
