Apple's iOS 13 will be an excellent update. It should include a real solution for robocalls, unwanted calls to users that can range from calls from telephone operators to scams that are applied. In addition, iOS 13 is expected to improve privacy, Android-style power user features, and many other issues. In this article, we'll explain why iOS 13 will make you want an iPhone.
Finally the problem with Robocalls will be solved
Undoubtedly, blocking Robocalls is the highlight of the new iOS 13. With the ''Silence Unknown Calls'' function, the annoying problems should come to an end. Once enabled, iPhone will check the incoming call against numbers in your contacts and messages. If you find a match, your phone will ring. If not, the call goes straight to voicemail.
Robocall are true technological pests that make users' lives hell. In many cases, a call is received that, when answered, simply remains silent. Until then, the best tip for those who received this type of call was to simply ignore the calls. Despite this, it still ends up being a nuisance, as the iPhone ringtone can be a bit annoying in the first place. Second, even if you ignore these calls, virtually the entire iPhone screen is taken up with these calls.
Just having this new function with iOS 13 on iPhones is already a great reason to have the Apple smartphone. However, iOS 13 brings several other news and improvements.
Improvements to privacy features
It is normal for several apps on your smartphone to request your location, even though you don't need to. This leaves the user with the feeling of being watched at all times. Even apps that really need your location, like those for weather forecasting, keep tracking your phone even if the app is not being used.
There is the option to disable your location for the apps, however, some of them would become useless, like the weather app mentioned above. Also, it is possible to disable location tracking manually for each app, however, this is also extremely complicated to do.
This is where another great new feature of iOS 13 comes in, which will be very useful for iPhone users. With the new system, it will be possible to give location permission to an app only once, while you are using it. If the app in question continues to track your location, you will receive a notification from Apple on your iPhone. The user will even have the option to change the APP's permission. But that's not all, you know those apps that track you over Bluetooth and Wi-Fi without warning? Apple is putting a stop to that too. Android doesn't offer anything like it in terms of location and tracking security.
It is very common to use the "Sign in with Google" or "Sign in with Facebook" options in your browser on websites and applications. This is understandable as it makes access much easier. However, these options are not very secure. By using them, you agree to give information to a company that you may know, taken from your accounts. Google or Facebook also learn more about what you are doing.
Apple seems to have found the solution to this problem by creating its own ''sign in with Apple'' service. Unlike other login services, this one does not track you and does not distribute your data. Apple doesn't collect a lot of data about you to begin with; this is not the company's business model.
When the ''Sign in with Apple'' option is used, the user just writes their name and the associated Apple email. If you need more privacy, you can log in using a randomly generated email that will be forwarded to you. Signing in with Apple gives you the convenience of quick account creation while maintaining your confidentiality. Both from Apple and from companies that ask for login.
Advanced Features of Android Power on iPhone
The battle between iOS and Android is far from over, and the only ones who stand to gain from this gigantic rivalry are the users. Both systems are excellent, it's just about the personal taste of each user. However, Android and the iPhone are more similar than you might think. Both are becoming more like every iOS and Android release and update.
However, despite the many similarities between the two operating systems, some of the differences are quite large. It took forever for the iPhone to get third-party keyboard support and even then, it's still not as simple as Android's keyboard options.
But in order to improve this, Apple is adding one more interesting feature with iOS 13, the QuickPath option, which allows you to swipe the keyboard to type.
Another function being added by Apple on the iPhone is the dark mode function, already present in Android Q. It may not look so good on the eyes, however, it makes the theme lighter and looks prettier.
While it took too long to get proper NFC support, Apple is finally embracing this function. If you're using an iPhone XR or XS, you can launch shortcuts from an NFC tag. Shortcuts are a great way to automate tasks, and combined with NFC tags, the possibilities seem endless. In the past, we used NFC tags in a car to start playing songs from a playlist and accessing directions home on Android. Now you can do the same on your iPhone.
Like the iPad, the iPhone is getting proper support for external drives. You will soon be able to connect a USB drive to an iPhone (with an adapter) and access files and photos. It may be something unimportant, but if united in all the improvements that are being made available, it becomes something great.
iOS 13 fixes minor annoyances for users
The new iOS 13 update comes to end with the minor annoyances that previous versions of the operating system caused users. Safari, for example, will automatically close tabs for you based on your time settings. If you've ever opened the tabbed view of your iPhone browser only to find dozens of old tabs, you'll appreciate the concept of tabs that close after a day or week of disuse. It would be interesting if all browsers embraced this idea.
Another option that is coming with iOS 13 and that is very similar to the one already present on Android, is the possibility to delete applications directly from the App Store update list. Another novelty was the update of the ''Reminders'' app, which now allows you to create adequate and detailed reminders.
Another big problem faced by users, mainly in Spain, is lost and stolen cell phones. Apple has a great solution for this and it was born out of another product: Bluetooth trackers. Products like Tile and Trackr promise to help you find your material through crowdsourcing. The idea is that your tracker can contact you by transmitting through other nearby trackers.
The Find My iPhone app has also changed, it is now just called Findy My. Your phone will contact you via Bluetooth through other people's iPhones and iPads. No matter where your device is, chances are there's a next one being used. And if you think this goes against the promise of privacy, Apple has included clever encryption so that only you can track your phone, not even Apple can access the data.
iPhone models that will receive iOS 13
iOS 13 will be released later in 2019 and will be available for the following models: iPhone XS, iPhone XS, iPhone X, iPhone X, iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 6S, iPhone 6S Plus and iPhone IF The next iPhones that will be released, should come from the factory already with the new system.
