This time iOS15 From the content point of view, it mainly updates the sharing function of FaceTime , adding focus mode and live text. Compared with the previous version, the changes this time are very small.
Apple has paid more attention to sound year by year, and added a lot of humanistic care. Whether it serves the disabled or ordinary consumers, there are many thoughtful designs. I found two functions that are deeply hidden in sound in iOS15, one is the "background sound" function, and the other is the "import audiogram".
background sound function
background sound is one of the newly added functions of iOS15. The official definition given by Apple is to continuously play the sound of stable, bright or low noise, ocean waves, rain and streams. It can help you stay focused, calm or relaxed. There are 6 built-in sound effects. The first three are: balanced noise, bright noise and dark noise, and the last three are: ocean, rain and stream.
The first three can be understood as Apple's white noise function, which helps you better isolate the environment. After using it, I feel that my concentration has indeed improved. The latter three natural environmental sound effects have always been my sleep aid artifacts. It is easier to fall asleep listening to the sound of the ocean waves at night.
Open method:
1. Go to "Settings"> "Accessibility"
2. Find "Audio/Visual" in the auditory module
3. Click "Background sound"> Click "Sound" to use it_ p5p
(You can also turn on and off the "Background Sound" function in the "Control Center")
Special reminder: The background sound function needs to be downloaded and takes up storage space. When using the background sound function, you can also choose to stop playing when the phone is locked, and you can also choose whether to play with the media.
Editor's point of view: very useful function,But some regrets are that Apple only provides three natural sound effects, which will be a bit monotonous after a long time.
Import audiogram function
Import audiogram is also a new feature of iOS15 that is "hidden" this time. The one-sentence explanation of audiogram is the "cardiogram" for your ears. The ear doctor will go through a series of professional tests to determine whether your hearing is impaired, and display it with an icon. In this update, the audiogram in PDF format can be imported into the system settings, which can be used to customize the "headphone adjustment" for fine-tuning. In addition to the above-mentioned methods to obtain audiograms, there is also a third-party App test. Here, Apple recommends the Mimi Hearing Test App. The test results can be synchronized to Apple's Health App. The audiogram of Mimi Hearing Test can also be directly called for debugging in the earphone adjustment.

Open method:
1. Go to "Settings"> "Accessibility"
2. Enter "Audio\Visual" in the hearing module
3. Click "Headphones" Adjust" and open
4. Click "Customize Audio Settings"> click "Headphone Audio Customization"> click "Use Audiogram", here you can import the audiogram of the Mimi Hearing Test and start adjusting.
Special reminder: The headphone adjustment function only supports some headphone models, please see the list for details.
Editor's point of view: I hope that Apple's future updates will increase the measurement accuracy and make the experience as easy to use as the heart rate monitoring of Apple Watch .
also has several functions that existed in the previous version, because Apple hides them too concealed, many people may not know it, here is a special recommendation.
voice recognition function
This function allows iPhone or iPad to help you recognize certain sounds.Push notifications to you after the sound is detected. Whether you are wearing headphones or doing something you don’t hear, you won’t lose sight of important information. For example: the sound of fire alarm, doorbell, door knock, crying of children, sound of boiling water, etc. They are all urgent matters. This function is still very practical and can play a big role at critical moments. However, these sound options cannot be customized, you can only choose the sound options Apple provides to you.
Open method:
1. Go to "Settings"> "Auxiliary Options"
2. Click "Sound recognition" in the auditory module to turn on> Check and open according to the sound list provided
Special reminder:
Apple reminds you not to rely on it too much, especially in high-risk and easily injured environments and when navigating.
Editor's point of view: Siri can no longer be used after "voice recognition" is turned on. Please note that this feature is great for users with Apple Watch.
Real-time listening
This is an Apple hearing aid function that can help you talk in noisy places and hear what the other person is saying clearly. The usage method is quite special, you need to use the Bluetooth function, and you need to wear a Bluetooth headset. After the function is turned on, the direction of the iPhone’s microphone is pointed at the speaker’s mouth.
Open method:
1. Go to "Settings"> "Control Center"
2. Find the "Hearing" button, click Add
3. Return to the main page to open the "Control Center"
4. Click "Hearing ”Icon is open, you can use
Special reminder: This function of real-time listening only supports some Bluetooth headset models, such as AirPods , AirPods Pro , AirPods Max or Powerbeats Pro.
Editor's point of view: Real-time listening is very useful in some specific environments, but the supported headset models are too few, and the power of the headset drops significantly after turning it on.
FaceTime microphone mode
This last feature was highlighted on WWDC21, which is the noise reduction function during video calls. This function is specially optimized for remote office. During a call, you can choose from three modes: standard, voice highlight, and broad spectrum. Especially in the voice highlighting mode, it can help you block out the environmental noise and make the voice clearer.
Special note: This function is only supported on iPhones equipped with A12 or later.
Editor's point of view: The utilization rate of FaceTime in China is not as good as that of WeChat video calls, but Apple has launched a cross-platform version of FaceTime, which is a good opportunity to increase user utilization.
Written at the end:
Apple has invested more and more in health in recent years. I hope that more health updates can be added after the headset. Perhaps the third generation of AirPods, which has not shown up, will have health surprises. ,let us wait and see.
