Background Noises

Some people download the sleep app or listen to sleep stations on YouTube or something like that. However, the new iPhones have background noises available in the Accessibility/Audio/Visual/Sound section of your phone. You can play anything from rain to dark noise to accompany you at bed time, during yoga or any time you don’t want to play music.

Shared With You

The Messages app delivers a new Shared with You section for photos, articles and more to make it easier to keep track of all the different links friends text your way.
