Apple’s new iOS 7 contains more than 200 new features and
improvements, here are some of the best new features that you may not be aware
of:
1. View Time stamp on Messages
If you’ve ever wondered what time a
specific message has arrived, you can now find out with the new update. Simply
swipe from right to left in any conversation and a time stamp will appear.
2. Make Audio-Only FaceTime Calls.
You can now call other iOS or OS X
devices without having to use up your minutes, or having anyone see you. The
audio-only FaceTime allows you to make calls through the FaceTime app the same
way you would for a video call, just click the phone icon instead.
3. Block Calls and Messages
You can finally get rid of spam texts and
unwanted phone calls through the new iOS at the touch of a button, no more
waiting on hold trying to ask your wireless provider to do it for you. If you
want to block a number, just go to Settings > Phone and/or Settings >
Messages, and toward the bottom you will see the Blocked section. Just tap the
section to add a number to the list, if you change your mind you can always
delete them from the list.
4. Change Text Size
The new update allows you to adjust
the font size of your apps. To make this change go to Settings > General
> Text Size and move the slider to adjust the font size. The font size
changes in real time on your screen so you can easily adjust it based on your
preferences.
5. Background Updates
This feature will allow all of your apps to
automatically update, rather than having to manually install app updates. To
enable this, go to Settings > iTunes & App Store, then switch the On/Off
toggle for Automatic Downloads.
