3 new functions in iOS 19

WWDC 2025 Almost is coming, with the unveiling of iOS as the highlight. Although we do not yet know exactly what iOS 19 will look like, it is undoubtedly the biggest visual change since iOS 7. According to some rumors, the update means much more than just a renewed outside. In any case, there are 3 functions of iOS 19 that you will really use every day.

1. AI-controlled improvement of the battery life

One of the new functions of iOS 19 is an AI-controlled option to improve the battery life. This function will map your daily routine, background tasks that you do not need to close and display a live estimate of the remaining battery life. This can be especially useful for iPhone 17 Air users, who may have to recharge their device more often than they would like to.

2. Public WiFi on all your devices

If you go to a hotel, restaurant or gym you are regularly asked to fill in a digital form to gain access to the WiFi network. You have to fill this form separately for your iPhone, iPad and Mac (book), so you sometimes have to add the same data up to three times. One of the new functions of iOS 19 changes that. You only have to log in to one of your Apple devices once to use the public WiFi network on all your devices.

3. Alternative speech assistant in the EU

With iOS 19 in the EU, it is possible for the first time to set a speech assistant other than Siri on your iPhone. That predicts the usually reliable Apple analyst Mark Gurman. It is the result of European legislation, which requires Apple to open certain systems to third parties. As a result, users in the European Union can, with the arrival of iOS 19 in addition to Siri, also opt for Amazon Alexa, Chatgpt, or Google Assistant, among others.

New functions iOS 19 available in the fall

Apple present iOS 19 as mentioned on Monday 9 June. You cannot yet immediately use the new functions of iOS 19, because the version for the general public is only released somewhere in the fall.
