Shared With You works in Safari, Apple Podcasts, and the Apple TV app as well.Īdditionally, Messages gains a collage design for sharing multiple photos within a conversation. Apple says that the feature will be able to prevent images such as screenshots from automatically being saved to Photos. The Photos app has a similar section, with shared images saved automatically. It works in Apple Music, too, with a dedicated section for content shared to you.

When a user’s Focus is blocking incoming notifications, their status is automatically displayed to others in Messages, reflecting that a user is not currently reachable. Users can create Home Screen pages with apps and widgets that apply to moments of focus to only display relevant apps and reduce temptation.

You can set your device to help to be in what Apple calls “the moment” by creating a custom Focus or selecting a suggested Focus, which uses on-device intelligence to suggest which people and apps are allowed to notify you.įocus suggestions are based on users’ context, like during work hours or while they’re winding down for bed, and when Focus is set on one Apple device, it automatically applies to their other Apple devices.
