Announce Messages with Siri
Announce Messages first appeared on AirPods, where Siri can read text messages through earphones without looking at your iPhone or iPad.
For the first time, now with iOS 15, Announce Messages now works with CarPlay.
This new feature on CarPlay makes it very convenient because it automatically reads your new messages aloud as they are received. This is especially important while driving because you never have to look over at the screen to see notifications, badges and/or banners, which makes this completely hands-free.
Of course this may also bring up the question as to what if I have passengers in the vehicle? Apple CarPlay is configurable to mute anr nouncements by selecting either "Announce New Messages", "Mute Announcements", and "Remember Previous Setting".
Driving Focus
Focus is a feature of the good old "Do Not Disturb", whic is now replaced by Focus. This lets you set statuses and modes for how alerts are handled during activities like sleeping, driving, working, and more.
This feature is enabled manually or automatically while driving is detected, connected to car bluetooth, or CarPlay is running.
A cool function while using Driving Focus, status are shared with other when your friends are sending a message using Messages on iOS 15
From within this settings page one can configure specific contacts and apps that are allowed to notify you during this driving mode. Using Time Sensitive Notification in iOS 15, you can receive this new type of alert. This is pretty neat because one can set particular rules for when driving, work, personal time or do not disturb.
Wallpapers
On the new iOS 15, now it allows to change up to four new wallpaper options (each with dark and light mode).
