Apple’s latest iPhone software update, iOS 15.5, was released on Monday. The follow-up to iOS 15.4<\/span> brings some small changes and tweaks to apps that lay the groundwork for larger iPhone updates in the future (maybe in the form of iOS 16<\/span>). Instead of bigger new features like Universal Control<\/span>, iOS 15.5 offers updates to Apple Cash, Photo Memories and the podcasts app, to name a few.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Here’s everything you need to know about the launch of iOS 15.5.<\/p>\n

iOS 15.5 release date<\/h2>\n

Apple released iOS 15.5 on Monday, May 16, alongside iPadOS 15.5.<\/p>\n

How do I download iOS 15.5?\u00a0<\/h2>\n

You can download iOS 15.5 by going to\u00a0Settings General Software Update Download and Install<\/strong>. The 15.5 update is about 630 MB.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Apple Cash<\/h2>\n

The biggest functional change in 15.5 is the inclusion of “Send” and “Request” buttons for\u00a0Apple Cash<\/span>. With these buttons in iOS 15.5, you can receive and send money directly from your Apple Cash card, saving you a few steps for those transactions.<\/p>\n

Podcasts app<\/h2>\n

A new feature in iOS 15.5 lets you change the settings in your podcast app to better manage your phone’s storage. The setting allows you to limit the episodes stored on your phone and can automatically delete older episodes.<\/p>\n

‘Sensitive locations’ in Photo Memories<\/h2>\n

iOS 15.5 tweaks the Memories function of Photos. Photos will no longer recommend Memories from “sensitive locations,” which 9to5Mac notes<\/a> are currently all related to the Holocaust. Apple can expand that list of locations in the future.\u00a0<\/p>\n

iTunes Pass renamed Apple Balance<\/h2>\n

Another change includes the iTunes Pass feature for Wallet being renamed Apple Balance. You’ll now find a separate card in Apple Wallet for Apple Balance, similar to how a credit card shows up in your Wallet.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Apple Classical<\/h2>\n

There’s no Apple Classical app in iOS 15.5. But\u00a0MacRumors<\/a>\u00a0found references to a new Apple Classical app in the 15.5 beta that seems to be the endgame for\u00a0Apple’s acquisition of<\/span>\u00a0classical music streaming service\u00a0Primephonic<\/span>\u00a0last year. Future iOS updates could include a standalone app for classical music.\u00a0<\/p>\n

More SportsKit support<\/h2>\n

iOS 15.5 also offers more support for SportsKit as Apple brings live baseball<\/span> into its content catalog.\u00a0<\/p>\n

While you’re exploring the changes to iOS 15.5, check out all the rumors we’ve heard about Apple’s iOS 16<\/span>. We’ll also show you how to unlock your iPhone while wearing a mask<\/span> and the newest privacy features you should try out<\/span>.
