Great Class!

Great class on Monday night! It was fun sitting around the kitchen table answering questions!

I have added two additional Senior Tech Club lessons to the Senior Tech Club Lessons Referenced in Class section of this online page.

Finally, if you want more details about these IOS 15 changes, I would look at the Recommended Resources section where I have attempted to curate the best information from Apple on these functions.

Have Fun with IOS 15.1 and beyond!

Class Description

Every year, Apple releases a new version of the IOS software that runs your Apple devices. These updates always bring new functions and features to your iPhones and iPads. In September 2021, Apple released IOS 15, the latest update.

There is a long list of changes to IOS that have come in the past months. Sometimes the most useful functions are hidden. We have reviewed over 300 changes to IOS 15.

We want to help. We have distilled the conglomeration of changes down to six that have more merit for our community. This includes:

1.Facetime – Links & SharePlay

2.Safari Design Changes

3.Focus – Do Not Disturb on Steroids

4.Live Text & Visual Lookup

5.Notifications

6.Accessibility Changes

The following receive Honerable Mention if time allows:

◦Notes & Reminders Hash Tags

◦Vax Card

◦Photos – Memory Mixes

This workshop will help you explore some of the changes that accompany IOS & iPad OS 15.
