Apple surprised everyone with the release of iOS 13.1 just after a few days of the release of iOS 13. It seems like Apple took the steps too earlier to land the new iOS 13.1 as it was expected to release on Sep. 30. Well, if Apple has released the iOS 13.1 too early, then there would be the reason. Let’s find out which new feature added to the iOS 13.1!

I guess there were some missing features on iOS 13.1 like Audio Sharing, Share ETA, and more. So now, Apple has added those new features on the latest iOS 13.1 along with fixing the three-finger formatting bar popup while playing PUBG or Fortnite. The new iOS 13.1 update also brings some changes in multiple emojis. What’s more? Let’s check out!

iOS 13.1 New Features

if you haven’t downloaded iOS 13.1 yet, then you can go to Settings > General > Software Update and install iOS 13.1 update over-the-air.

Emoji Designs Tweaked

With iOS 13.1, Apple did some changes in total of 24 emojis mostly related to animals. The octopus now has suckers on its tentacles; the squid emoji no longer has a siphon in the middle of its face, The mosquito now has six legs instead of five legs, the abacus now has its beads oriented vertically instead of horizontally. Apple hasn’t done yet; they are planning to add more emojis as well with the upcoming update.

Shortcuts App Updated

The Shortcuts app is also getting smarter. Starting with iOS 13.1, creating a shortcut will now be easier thanks to suggested automation for creating shortcuts for tasks like a morning routine. Shortcuts can also be automated, using triggers such as a specific time of day to run. 

Share ETA

Apple Map now also become smarter as now it allows users to share ETA (estimate time of arrival) to any of your contact (friend or family) so that they can follow along with trip and get the exact idea about your arrival. Well, in case if you are running late than the estimate, then Apple Maps will send a notification to the contact about informing them that you will get late.

Audio Sharing 

Apple introduces the Audio Sharing feature on iOS 13. But some audio devices weren’t supporting this new Audio Sharing. So now, the new Apple’s iOS 13.1 update arrived with the updated Audio Sharing feature which allows you to connect your Apple’s AirPods, as well as Beats’ Powerbeats Pro, Studio3 Wireless, BeatsX, Powerbeats3 Wireless and Solo3 Wireless to the iPhone and watch movie with your loved one.

Apple Music Lyrics Like Karaoke

There has also been seen a change in Apple Music app where previously you would see lyrics in text form. But now, you will know the song lyrics in the karaoke-like stream. So now it will look more realistic. You just need tap on the new lyric button to the see the new lyric screen. So just try and enjoy singing.
