And once again, with the introduction of macOS Monterey Public Beta, developers at Apple are trailblazing into the future. So let’s look at the brand new advancements and developments that IOS is offering us in 2021.
FaceTime Has Never Been Better
IOS allows its users around the world to stay connected through video calls. Since last year, we have been video calling for just about anything. FaceTime is IOS’s own video calling app that is frictionless and easy to use. However, some problems can eat up our joy from time to time. The human brain processes thousands of different sounds and noises when meeting someone in person.
This is not possible through video calling due to technological interference. Not only does it leave us feeling drained, but it also diminishes our joy of connecting with our loved ones. But with the below brand new features, FaceTime will be the one to look out for in this pandemic-driven era.

- Portrait Mode: No need to feel embarrassed about your background while video calling. The portrait mode focuses on your face beautifully, like the iPhone camera and blurs out the background.
- FaceTime Link: Borrowing the idea from Zoom, Apple’s FaceTime can now generate links and have a call schedule. Share the links through messages, WhatsApp, emails and even add to Calendar. Android users can use this too.

Messages
IOS share messages allow you to store articles, photos, songs, videos and more. However, most times, you do not have the time to check out these instantly.
