6 highlights prominently during Apple's WWDC 2018 event
This morning (June 5, 2018) in Vietnam time, Apple launched the WWDC annual event 2018, a program for programmers at McEnery Convention Center, San Jose, California. Here, CEO Tim Cook introduced new points in major software updates such as iOS 12, macOS 10.14 .
Below are the outstanding announcements during the WWDC event this morning:
iOS 12
Apple has announced the next iOS update and included new features. The most prominent feature is the Digital Health Monitoring Panel, to help users avoid excessive machine usage.
Do Not Disturb - Free to disturb feature, users can set to hide all notifications in preset time. In addition, notifications will be grouped into different topics to help users not be confused by dozens of individual notification messages.
On iOS 12, users can set the maximum time to use each application during the day. This feature has been included in Android P by Google, but the difference in iOS 12 is that Apple allows users to temporarily extend the time of application usage compared to the limits they have set above. Parents can set these options on remote children's devices on their own devices to manage their usage habits.
Many interesting effects on iOS 12
In the Photos app, the "search suggestions" feature for each specific person, place, or event like Google Photos has appeared. In addition, Apple also learned from Facebook when offering the same new feature "On This Day" to remind users of a photo they had taken many years ago.
The Messages application is upgraded to add some Animoji, sticker, text, and a new drawing tool integrated into the camera. With Memoji, users can create their own Aemoji to customize their faces in any way they want. Animoji can even identify the 'sticking tongue' status and act similarly when you do so.
FaceTime supports group calls up to 32 people. And users can use Animoji or Memoji to express emotions when using FaceTime.
Currently, technology-loving users can download and install iOS 12 beta to experience.
