The new iOS 12 operating system, which will also run on older iPhone models dating back to 2013, enables users to mute their phones more quickly, for example during dinner, at the cinema or at night.It also makes it easier to switch off calls, message tones and other alerts. In addition, users will be able to see how much time they spend on individual apps or how many times they check their messages. They can also set time limits on certain apps or games.Parents can now add tailored controls on their children's smartphones and tablets. For example, they can ensure a device can't be used after a certain time in the evening.For all its updates, Apple has not yet managed to add group calls in Facetime. The company had previously announced plans to allow up to 32 people to take part in one video call.The next iOS version is set to roll out on all iPhones from the iPhone 5S generation onwards, as well as with the iPad mini2 and iPod touch (sixth generation) onwards.
