Have you updated your apple system to the latest iOS 12? iOS 12 brings us with many new features. First of all, we will experience a much faster and more responsive iPhone. We can use the Screen Time feature to get the detailed information of our phone usage and set limitation for children or ourselves to use phone more reasonable.  One of the disadvantages in the previous iOS versions is the disturbing notifications.

In iOS 12, the Notification has been improved for better control. Another cute new feature is that we can customize our own animated emoji, or Animoji, with a spinoff called "Memoji", and snap pictures of ourselves and add custom text when sending Messages.

Among all the new features and improvements, which is your favorite new feature? My favorite feature is the improved search feature in Photo app. It enables us to search photos more accurate with an easy way in our photo galleries.
