As previously announced, Apple released iOS 13.1 for all users this evening. The update was originally supposed to be released at the end of the month - but now the release date has been brought forward.
The new iOS 13.1 is now available for all iPhone users. The update brings back a few features that were removed during the iOS 13 beta phase. In addition to new features, changes and system optimizations have been made.
Automations in Shortcuts – In iOS 13.1, the “Automation” section can be found in Shortcuts. Fans of shortcuts can look forward to a lot of new options. For example, if the iPhone is connected to CarPlay, the Podcast app will start automatically afterwards – if the user wants it to. The feature was originally supposed to appear with iOS 13 – but now it’s been delayed a little.
Visual optimizations – Apple has made some improvements to the dynamic wallpapers. The overall look and color have been changed. In addition, all dynamic wallpapers that were previously only available on the iPhone X or newer are now also available for older devices.
Maps – Starting with iOS 13.1, Maps offers a built-in feature that allows you to share your estimated time of arrival with family or friends.
volume control – The redesigned volume control gets another feature in iOS 13.1. As soon as a user presses the control on the iPhone while AirPods are connected to the device, an AirPods symbol now appears in the display – the same applies to the Powerbeats Pro.
writings – iOS 13 has a feature that allows you to download and install fonts from the App Store. The feature is finally available in iOS 13.1.
HomeKit – With iOS 13.1, the icons of HomeKit devices in the Home app will be displayed in more detail in the future.
audio sharing – The audio sharing function is now included and directly expanded in iOS 13.1. This means that not only the AirPods can now benefit from the feature, but also some Beats models.
