iOS 18 keeps many secrets and among them we have a new function that many video apps should copy
In iOS 18 we find a wide variety of interesting new features, among which Apple Intelligence and a new, more customizable home screen stand out. However, the new iPhone operating system is not limited to these improvements, as it includes many small updates that, without a doubt, deserves to be explored in detail. One of the most remarkable features and that any video application, like Netflix or YouTube, should consider implementingis an innovative feature introduced in iOS 18.
This feature is not only available in iOS 18, but has also been integrated into iPadOS 18, macOS Sequoia, and tvOS 18. Specifically, it is found in the tv applicationwhich is present in all these operating systems. This tool is particularly useful when we are missing an important dialogue from our favorite series on Apple TV+.
The iOS 18 Feature Everyone Should Copy
For some time now, Apple TV users have been able to use Siri to ask them to go back a few seconds in a series or film with the command “What did he say?”. This feature, already useful in itself, has been improved in iOS 18 and other Apple operating systems.
This Apple TV feature should be copied by most video apps
With the new version, When you return to a video or series, the subtitles are automatically activated so that you can perfectly understand the dialogues you missed.. This improvement is especially useful if we don’t understand what was said or simply missed it.
Subtitles appear temporarily for about 10 secondsproviding the time needed to capture the content that has just been played. Once this period has elapsed, the subtitle settings revert to their original state, ensuring that the viewing experience is not altered more than necessary. This feature undoubtedly represents a significant improvement of the TV applicationand now it’s available on all devices where the app is installed, not just Apple TV.
This interesting feature joins another exciting new feature of Apple TV+ called “On Stage”. With this feature, we can see which actors are present in a specific scene, know the characters they play and, by selecting them, access additional content related to these same actors. There is no doubt that these functions contribute to greatly enriching the user experience on the Apple platform.
It is important to emphasize that This automatic captions feature is only available in the Apple TV appeither for Apple TV+ content or for movies and series that we have purchased or rented. However, it would be beneficial if other platforms like Netflix or YouTube took note of this improvement, as it is one of those small but valuable features that improve the user experience. In short, iOS 18 hides many surprises like this, which together make the user experience much more complete and satisfying in every way.
