what's going on guys Travers consumer and today Apple announced iOS 12 at WWDC 2018 and these are the new features you're gonna be excited about now the first one is something that we've been asking for for years and that is group FaceTime and then we're gonna have more than a one-on-one conversation we're actually gonna be able to FaceTime with up to 32 people I don't know where you're gonna find that many people to FaceTime but it is possible and that's actually really cool and yes I know there are third-party apps that already do this but it's gonna be great to have that feature built into the iPhone and with this you'll be able to have set groups that you can jump into a chat with at any moment so if there are a few people already in a group chat you can actually jump into that chat which is pretty cool something we haven't really seen on the iPhone while ever uh-huh but you can also start a whole new group chat at once if you want from the app it kind of similar to what we see when Google hangout when one person is speaking the app detects that and they're the main focus of the chat as they get a larger icon and you can even use an emoji stickers or emojis which I'll talk about in a second to kind of spice up the chat so if you want to have a little bit of fun with it you can throw those into the FaceTime and even if you don't have an iPhone as your daily driver if you've got something like an iPad or something with Mac OS like a MacBook Pro or an iMac you'll still be able to take part in a group FaceTime now for that one moji I talked about if you were a fan of Samsung's AR emoji you're gonna like this one I think they kind of did it better and memo G's are pretty much an emojis but you get to customize it yourself to make it look just like you and it's actually really customizable and inclusive you've got tons of different hair styles skin colors you can get really granular with your changes which is awesome something I really like to see so that you can really get it to look like you and have special things like maybe hats or earrings you can switch this thing up quite a bit to give it your own personal taste and of course you can use these just like you would an emojis you can send them through iMessage and record a video or you can send them as a sticker but what's even cooler now is that you can even use them as a mask during your face time so he face time with your girl and she doesn't want to get on camera cuz she doesn't think she looks right you can go ahead and put on that mode and get back to shad and there's even you an emojis like a ghost I think they've got this new tiger a t-rex and what's even crazier is now it has this high-tech feature that they're calling tongue detection so if you want to throw that in there you definitely can and another feature that we've all been waiting for is finally here and that's group notifications with this if you have a ton of notifications from a single app it won't clog up your lockscreen or notification center so now you don't have to worry about any more clutter all your notifications will be grouped right together and next up we've got Siri Siri has gotten a few updates nothing drastic but there are a couple of things that'll make her a lot more present whenever you're using your phone and it feels like Apple integrated her more into iOS in a way that makes her feel more like an assistant she'll be able to learn your behavior and check your calendar for certain things so like let's say you're running late for a meeting she'll automatically pop up with a suggestion saying hey do you want to text the person you're meeting and tell them you're running a bit late which is pretty cool or it may be in the mornings too actually if you want her to order your coffee so that you can go ahead and go pick it up so those little bits and pieces that an assistant would typically do she's going to be able to do right for you from your phone so she's gonna be able to take a look at everything you've got going on everything you put into the system and give you suggestions based on that before you even ask her - some people might think it's a little creepy I personally love seeing things like that thing is gonna be awesome but something that is even more exciting is Siri shortcuts now we see these shortcuts you're actually gonna be able to have Siri speak to certain apps so there's going to be that Siri integration now one of the examples that they showed is with the tile app I personally use tile quite a bit to find my keys I always misplaced them and I always have to jump into the app and that hit fine and then try and locate it but now with the seria integration I can just call out to Syria and say find my keys and she'll be able to have the alarm go off on my keys and I can find it that way that is a much much easier system and you're gonna be able to do this with a ton of different apps a lot more going to be getting integration so I cannot wait to see that platform grow and like the shortcut name implies you're gonna be able to do this cool thing where you set up a bunch of different actions based on the shortcut that you created and I can see myself using this for a routine that I set up from bedtime so I can have Siri activate bedtime with just one phrase and have her speak to my shades where it brings them down turn off my lights lock my door using the August lock all these different things that you would do individually you can now have Syria do with just one command instead of having to jump into all of those different apps and you're gonna be able to use just for a bunch of different scenarios I believe in children where if you're heading home you'll just throw up your Maps set your temperature to your house to be ready for you when you get there all kinds of cool stuff it's gonna be interesting to see how setting it up actually goes might require a bit of work but maybe it won't be too bad and now that you've got this focus on digital health so if you're conscious about that you're gonna finally be able to start unplugging and spending less time on your phone thanks to some new updates now do not disturb you can actually opt out of getting notifications when you're going to bed at night or even when you first wake up in the morning so that you're not distracted by those notifications and you can actually do what you need to do whether that's sleep or you get started on your day faster I think we've all been there when we first wake up and we're sitting there checking a bunch of meaningless notifications hopefully with this we'll be able to actually jump out of bed and get they started and now we're gonna be able to see just how much we're using our phone with this new feature called screen time and with this you'll be able to see how much time you're spending on your phone how many times you pick it up throughout the day how long you're spending on particular apps lots of information so you can monitor just how much you're using your phone and if you're one of those people who feel like they need to cut back a bit you couldn't be able to do that because you can now enable certain time limits on certain apps so if you're spending too much time on IG you can finally set some loans to that if you want to just do an hour throughout the day your phone will be able to limit that and then it'll give you a notification when you've got like five minutes left to let you know you're about to run out of time and this actually works throughout multiple devices so if you're gonna go and pick up your iPad and try and cheat it's gonna remember that you want that limit and then set that for you now where all this is gonna be extremely helpful not only for us but it's gonna be great for parents and helping monitor what their kids are using and how much they're using it you're pretty much gonna be able to treat apps like an allowance so after a certain amount you get cut off which i think is going to be really helpful for parents and last but not least we've got some really cool features with AR they showed a lot of cool stuff like being able to have more we player with AR games I actually got to try that out myself and it was it was really cool I'm not gonna lie so that's gonna be a really awesome feature now beyond gaming something I think a lot of people will be able to take advantage of is the measure app with this you'll be able to scan 3d objects and measure something based on segments or actually even have it automatically measure something so that you can get the exact measurements and it's really cool this is like next-level guys I personally wish I had this while doing my house renovations this would have been something that would have been really helpful instead of always trying to track down some measuring tape to get some measurements down this would have been really nice so for me personally I'm very excited to have this I think it could be useful for a lot of people and there are other cool things mentioned like a new search tap for photos changes to carplay news and stock apps and even renaming iBooks to Apple books but the ones I mentioned this video I feel like are the ones you absolutely need to know but what do you guys think of iOS 12 either there's some cool features that I didn't talk about that you think are really good let me know what's a comment down below and I'll catch you guys in the next one so then it's your average consumer case
