Apple today announced the update of its FaceTime video calling service and new operating systems for the iPhone, iPad and Mac.
The news was presented at Apple’s ‘Worldwide Developers Conference’, an event broadcast ‘online’.
With the update of the FaceTime service, the company led by Tim Cook introduces the possibility of creating ‘links’ that can be shared with other users, allowing access via Android or Windows devices.
On the other hand, all participants in video calls start to appear with the same dimensions and can blur the backgrounds in portrait mode.
The updated version of FaceTime can also detect and eliminate background noise so that the conversation runs more clearly and includes the ‘SharePlay’ tool to listen to music or watch movies simultaneously with other users of the same call.
The new operating system for mobile phones iPhone – iOS 15 – presents improvements in terms of ‘design’ and privacy, also enabling the digitization and storage of identity documents.
Apple also launched new operating systems for its tablets (iPadOS 15), smart watches (WatchOS 8) and computers (macOS).
The multitasking function of iPadOS 15 now makes it possible to view the split screen and switch from one activity to another, while WatchOS 8 introduces a new application for controlling and monitoring breathing.
macOS, in turn, increases compatibility between Macs and tablets by simply placing the iPad next to the computer for the cursor and keyboard to operate on both devices.
