iPhone iOS is a mobile operating system created and developed by Apple Inc. exclusively for its hardware.

It is the operating system that presently powers many of the company's mobile devices, including the iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch.

Apple has grown to become one of the biggest brands when it comes to technology.

There are certain applications that only the Apple users enjoy.

Here are 7 interesting things about iPhone iOS

1. Siri


Siri is an intelligent personal assistant, part of Apple Inc.'s iOS, watchOS, macOS, and tvOS operating systems.

The assistant uses voice queries and a natural language user interface to attempt to answer questions, make recommendations, and perform actions by delegating requests to a set of Internet services.

The software adapts to users' individual language usages, searches, and preferences, with continuing use. Returned results are individualized.

 

2. iMessage

iMessage is Apple's built-in instant messaging (IM) service. It lets you send text, picture, video, sound, and location quickly and easily to anyone else using iMessage on iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Apple Watch.

When you send a text message to someone that has an Apple ID, the Messages app automatically recognizes that person’s Apple ID and routes the message through Apple’s servers instead of using the cell phone carrier.

This is done automatically and avoids any texting charges from the cell phone carrier.

 

3.iCloud

 

iCloud is simply a service that keeps all your devices in sync. In other words, you can share information between an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and a computer.

The information on each device is automatically updated to make sure the most current information is available on all devices.

 

4. AirDrop

AirDrop lets you quickly and easily transfer files between iPhones, iPads, and Macs. It uses Bluetooth LE to broadcast, discover, and negotiate connections, and point-to-point Wi-Fi to transfer data. That makes it fast, power-efficient, and secure.

 

5. Screen recording

Apple has built screen-recording functionality right into your iPhone operating system.

If you're wondering why you'd want to record your phone screen, there are loads of great reasons.

Maybe you're playing a game and want to share some awesome footage, or maybe you're helping a friend who can't work out how to use their phone, and you want to send them a quick video guide.

Whatever the reason you want to record iPhone video footage, here's an easy guide.

But remember: don't use screen recording to steal copyright material and share it. Even though it's just a recording, it's still illegal.

 

6. Animoji

Apple's Animoji are custom, animated versions of popular emoji characters. The feature, which initially debuted last autumn, uses the new Face ID facial-recognition system currently exclusive to the iPhone X - to create 3D emoji that mirror your own facial expressions.

You can make and share them with other Apple users through the Messages app. At launch, only a few Animoji were available.

But the new iOS 11.3 update brings four new Animoji to use with the iPhone X.

 

7. FaceTime

FaceTime is Apple's video and audio calling service. Think of it as a phone that uses your Wi-Fi or cellular data connection instead of traditional phone lines.
