All your stickers in one place
The new stickers drawer lets you access all your Live Stickers, emoji, Memoji, and other sticker packs in one place. Your stickers sync with iCloud so they are available on your iPhone, iPad, and Mac devices.
Create one-of-a-kind stickers
Use your own photos to create Live Stickers. Touch and hold an object in a photo and turn it into a sticker. Stylize it with new effects like Shiny, Puffy, Comic, and Outline or create animated Live Stickers made with Live Photos. React to messages by adding stickers directly to the bubble from the Tapback menu.
Use your stickers in more places
Your stickers drawer is in the emoji keyboard, so you can use stickers anywhere you can access emoji — including apps from the App Store. Use Markup to add stickers to photos, documents, screenshots, and more.
Leave a message
Record a video or audio message when someone misses your FaceTime call.
Whether you’re just calling to say hello or want to share a special moment, you can capture what you wanted to say in a video or audio message. You get all the same video effects that make you look your best in FaceTime, like Portrait mode and Studio Light. Your messages can also be played on Apple Watch.
React with your hands
Add a reaction that fills the camera frame with fun 3D augmented reality effects like hearts, confetti, fireworks, and more. And you can share a reaction with just a hand gesture.
FaceTime on Apple TV
Use your iPhone as a camera and start a call directly from the FaceTime app on Apple TV, or hand off the call from your iPhone to your TV.
A new full-screen experience
Turn your iPhone on its side while charging to make it even more useful when you set it down. StandBy gives you glanceable information designed to be viewed from a distance.

Swap numbers with NameDrop
Hold your iPhone near someone else’s iPhone or Apple Watch to use NameDrop. You’ll both be able to choose the specific phone numbers or email addresses you want to share, and you can share them along with your Contact Poster instantly.
Share with intention
There’s a new way to share with those nearby. Simply bring your phones close together to initiate the transfer over AirDrop.
Content you share over AirDrop will continue to send securely and in full quality over the internet if you leave AirDrop range and both you and your recipient are signed in to iCloud.

Faster and more relevant search
Search in Safari is more responsive than ever and shows easier-to-read and more relevant suggestions.
Enhanced Private Browsing
Private Browsing now locks your private browsing windows when you’re not using them, completely blocks known trackers from loading on pages, and removes tracking added to URLs as you browse.

Play music together
Now SharePlay makes it easier for everyone to control music in the car — even passengers in the back seat — so everyone can play their favorite music and contribute to what’s playing.
Collaborate on playlists
Invite friends to join your playlist and everyone can add, reorder, and remove songs. Use emoji to react to the song choices in Now Playing.
