Apple announces the update of iOS 12.1 with Group FaceTime and more emoji – Tech News

Apple has announced an update to its iOS 12.1 mobile operating system, which includes the FaceTime group and new emojis for iPhone and iPad.

The FaceTime group now allows users to call multiple people at once. During a call, FaceTime automatically detects active speakers and highlights speakers by placing them in the foreground of the screen.

The call can also be pbaded from the email application. Thus, if there is a group discussion on iMessage, members can then place a group call to all participants. All messages and calls have end-to-end encryption.

Let's move on to the important news: the new emoji.

As Apple says: "Emoji are used by people around the world to communicate and iOS 12.1 brings even more keyboard characters that better represent global users."

The software update includes more than 70 new emoji, including emoji with different hair colors, male and female superheroes, and new animal emoji for llamas, mosquitoes and kangaroos.

The new iOS update also brings a new update to the Apple Camera app, offering better depth control for "professional-grade bokehs".

The XS, XS Max and XR iPhones all support Dual SIM and eSIM Digital with iOS 12.1. – dpa
