Part 1: Introduction to iOS 12<\/strong><\/h2>\n
When it comes to iOS12, we all know that it is developed by Apple Company, which is the twelfth major release of the iOS mobile operating system. Compared with the previous operating systems, iOS 12 has some greater features, which also has some bugs in functions.
\n As for its features, the performance becomes better, and the Screen Time is a new one. Users can also set up Shortcuts and share views with other iOS 12-supported devices via ARKit 2. The apps in iOS 12 are also improved or updated a lot to make it more convenient for users, such as the CarPlay, Messages, FaceTime, Measure, Photos, Notifications, Do Not Disturb, Voice Memos and Stocks, Apple Books, Safari, Maps and etc.
\n There are also some bugs in iOS 12. For instance, the Force touch method of replying to SMS messages from the Lock Screen cannot perform well, and the device may restart all by itself when users try to take a screenshot of the lock screen.
