The feature also integrates with messages and user can dial a whole group chat from within Messages application. You can join any already ongoing group facetime chat anytime.

The iBooks gets a new design, support for audiobooks and from now on - it will be called Apple Books. The bookstore is now part of the Apple Books.

Car Play gets support for third-party navigation apps, so if you don't like Apple Maps - you can now change it.

Animjois and Messages



The Messaging application is improved with four new Animojis (coala, ghost, t-rex, and tiger) and brand-new tongue detection.

Memojis is the next update for the Animojis - that's an Animoji designed after you. It's like an RPG character creation - you have a ton of options for everything - hair, face, freckles, eyes, sunglasses, ears, you name it.
