This is new in iOS 15
iOS 15 is a major update with a lot of cool improvements. For example, video calling app FaceTime is being overhauled. The app will filter out background noise and will soon support Spatial Audio. This makes it seem as if sound in video calls comes from a certain direction during video calling.
Also new: the Focus function. This allows you to create special profiles if, for example, you are working and do not want to be disturbed by all kinds of apps. You can also use the option if you want to relax and don’t feel like working with your iPhone. If you activate the work mode, you will not receive notifications from apps such as Netflix and Videoland, for example.
The Messages app will also be improved and notifications will be smarter from now on. The latter is especially useful, because iOS 15 will bundle notifications that are similar. Apple is also taking the necessary steps in the field of privacy with iOS 15.
