Apple drops iOS 13.2 with Deep Fusion, new Siri privacy settings, and AirPods Pro controls
A big day for Apple just got bigger.
Hot off the announcement of the company’s new AirPods Pro, Apple just made iOS 13.2 and iPadOS 13.2 available. New features include AirPods Pro controls, better privacy settings, and the rollout of Deep Fusion for better photographs.
Oh, and, of course, new emoji.
The AirPods Pro support makes sense given they hit stores on Thursday.
Deep Fusion captures multiple frames in different exposures and then, with machine learning, combines them to generate sharp, crips photos in less-than-ideal lighting. Apple made a lot of noise about the feature at its big event back in September and rolled the feature out in early October via the iOS 13.2 beta. But now it’s here for everyone with an iPhone 11 or higher who wants to capture seductive, medium-lighting sweater poses.
The update also adds new privacy controls, giving users the ability to opt out of Apple sharing Siri conversations with third parties. It follows the outcry over to recordings to improve Siri. ( and faced criticism over similar practices.) Apple also included the option to “delete your Siri and Dictation history from Siri Settings.”
Finally, there are those new emoji. We’ve known a boatload of new emoji were scheduled to roll out throughout 2019 and this update claims to have “over 70 new emojis.” Among them are more inclusive emoji.
To update to iOS 13.2 or iPadOS 13.2 right now, head to General > Settings > Software Update and, well, prepare to wait a bit.
