Apple started a new beta round yesterday evening. The first preview of iOS 13.2 and iPadOS 13.2 was released - and this is new.
The new iOS 13.2 beta was more revealing than many expected. While some were looking for new features, others were looking into the code. The AirPods 3 were discovered – you can find out more hereBut what new functions does iOS 13.2 bring with it? In addition to bug fixes and new features, existing functions have been further optimized - here are the most important things.
Announce messages with Siri - The feature was originally announced with iOS 13 and is now finally set to be introduced in iOS 13.2. "Announce Messages with Siri" allows users to listen to incoming messages via AirPods and then reply to them. The new feature is deactivated by default. If you want to use the practical function, you can of course activate it - and this is how it works. Open the iOS settings and navigate to "Siri & Search". Now you can activate "Announce Messages with Siri".
Deep Fusion – The “Deep Fusion” feature is available in iOS 13.2 of the new iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro generation. The function is designed to ensure even better shots in low or poor light by having the A13 Bionic chip process the shot using machine learning. The feature works in the background and significantly increases image quality.
privacy settings – iOS 13.2 has a new research option in the privacy section that is reserved for Apple's upcoming Research app. The application itself has not yet been released, but the discovery suggests it will be launched soon.
AirPlay & Handoff – In iOS 13.2, the Handoff menu has also been expanded. This now appears as “AirPlay & Handoff” in the settings under “General”. From now on, Handoff for the HomePod can be activated/deactivated there. An option has also been added that turns off automatic AirPlay for TVs.
volume in the control center – When AirPods, Powerbeats Pro or BeatsX are connected to the iPhone, a new icon now appears in the volume bar in the Control Center.
HomeKit grouping – With the new iOS 13 version, the HomeKit application has been revised again. From now on, users can group accessories with multiple functions.
