The best features of iOS, iPadOS, and macOS that Apple didn't announce onstage
Apple had its WWDC keynote on Monday, where it showed off the big new features coming to its platforms, but it didn't have time to show off everything coming to the new versions of iOS, iPadOS, and macOS. So we've combed through the preview pages, Twitter, and a good chunk of the internet to see what interesting features got left out of the presentation.
iOS and iPadOS 15
The big features in iOS and iPadOS were the updates to notifications, FaceTime, and multitasking, but it appears Apple may have been really focusing on the platforms themselves, too. There are a ton of quality-of-life improvements including:
More Memoji options with new outfits and accessibility options
FaceTime will let you know when you're muted but trying to talk.
FaceTime will also let you zoom with the back camera so you can finally show people things across the room without standing up.
The Announce Messages feature found in AirPods is coming to CarPlay, so your phone can automatically read texts out loud while you're driving.
Wary iPhone users will be able to put off upgrading to iOS 15 but still get security updates.
Find My will be able to track your iPhone when it's off (or even after it's been factory reset). It's currently unclear what phones will support this feature.
There's an improved print dialog with more options.

You'll get free temporary iCloud storage when you transfer to a new device, but it will only last for three weeks.
Leaving and arrival times are coming to Apple Maps, letting you better plan trips in the future.
iPhone apps for iPad will be able to run in landscape
