    To further enhance privacy, Apple is giving users of iOS 15 and iPadOS 15 a new menu showing them in detail what data third-party apps are collecting. The company is making Siri more private, too, keeping the processing of such key tasks as launching apps, setting alarms and changing settings on the device itself rather than sending it to the less-secure web.

    Apple is updating software support for the increasingly omnipresent AirPods earbuds, adding a Conversation Boost mode to help mimic a hearing aid. There's also a new Announce Notifications feature that reads users their alerts and shopping lists.

    Apple upgraded its Messages app and its iMessage service with a new Shared With You feature that accesses photos, music and articles sent in message conversations. Apple's iOS 15 update also adds a revamped notifications system called Focus that lets users set their current status - whether it's working, personal time or sleeping - and only permit certain notifications during those times Image Credit: Bloomberg

    As part of Apple's continuing effort to integrate its Mac personal computer line and mobile devices, macOS Monterey lets people use the Mac keyboard and trackpad to control an iPad and drag and drop files between multiple devices. It will now be possible to beam video, presentations and music from an iPhone to the Mac using AirPlay. The HomePod mini will also get the ability to be used as a speaker for the Apple TV and as a Siri input device. Apple is also opening up Siri to third-party smart home devices for the first time.

    The Health app is getting an upgrade, too. The Walking Steadiness feature uses sensors to monitor the risk of falling. The California company is also adding in-depth explanations for cholesterol data and a new Trends feature to show changes to a person's health over time. Users will be able to share heart and fitness data collected from an Apple Watch with their doctor or their family members. Image Credit: AFP
