The SharePlay feature, which we played with during the iOS 15 beta but is not yet available in the iOS 15 public release, may make the iOS 15 and iPadOS 15 upgrades even better when it's added in (here's how to download and install the current version of it).Д«etween screen sharing, call scheduling, background blurringВ and FaceTime's new compatibility with Android and Windows devices, iOS 15 is shaping up to be a pretty exciting upgrade ( though you may still want to wait to install it). It takes video calling to the next level without the extra apps and subscription fees. SharePlay, one of iOS 15's most talked-about features, lets you share your screen with friends to watch movies, listen to songs and more - all while on your FaceTime call.

Apple's latest software update comes with a lot of new features, including Focus mode, real-time weather alerts so you know when it starts raining, and facial recognition to safely store your driver's license and other IDs in your Apple Wallet. Mom and dad will be able to see the kidsвЂ™ smiles a little better, and when you canвЂ™t be together you might be surprised at the difference a seemingly small jump in clarity can make.Apple's new iOS 15 is here and it almost makes us feel like we've bought a brand new phone (speaking of which, the iPhone 13 is available for preorder now). Nevertheless, itвЂ™s a nice bonus given that a lot of people will be celebrating the holidays over video call in order to stay safe. ItвЂ™s unclear why Apple didnвЂ™t include this feature in the changelog for the update, given that itвЂ™s on the iPhone product and comparison pages. The iOS 14.2 changelog, with no mention of the FaceTime improvement

Of course, whether you see a difference depends on how sensitive you are to changes in video quality, or how good your eyesight is. Part of this could be that, while her phone is streaming to me at an increased resolution, the iPhone 8 still has the 7MP FaceTime camera, as opposed to the 12MP camera found on the iPhone 11 and later. On my end the difference is a little noticeable, but I donвЂ™t think IвЂ™d be able to tell at a glance if the video coming from her phone was in full HD. IвЂ™ve worked in video all my life, and the difference between the two is pretty striking to me, at least on her end.

Left: screenshot of a 720p call over cellular on the iPhone 12 Mini | Right: screenshot of the 1080p call over Wi-Fi You can judge for yourself if you can notice any differences. For good measure, I also took screenshots on my iPhone 12 Mini to compare what it looked like on my end.

I had her take a screenshot when we were calling over Wi-Fi, then had her switch to cellular and take another screenshot for comparison.

My sister has an iPhone 8 with the update, so I called her up on FaceTime. That is, unless both callers had the iPhone 12, which has had 1080p FaceTime calls from the start (including over cellular if youвЂ™re on 5G). As MacMagazine notes, Apple has updated the product comparison pages of the iPhones 8, X, XR, XS, SE, and 11 (including the Max and Pro versions) to show that they now support FaceTime at 1080p over Wi-Fi, as opposed to before when they only supported 720p.Д¬alls made over cellular will still be at the lower resolution, but if youвЂ™re FaceTiming over Wi-Fi you may notice increased clarity after the update. When Apple released iOS 14.2 last month, it didnвЂ™t mention that FaceTime calls would now be in 1080p for older iPhones.
