Apple’s WWDC 2021 just kicked off with some exciting news about iOS 15 — FaceTime is getting a much-needed rehash, with features that will expand your video calls and help you share a lot more with your friends.
OK, let’s start from the top!
Spatial Audio
Apple thought about group calls and how they feel kind of “flat” — all your friends are these squares on your device’s screen and they all sound the same. To bring a more realistic and spatial feel to group FaceTime calls, Apple is now introducing Spatial Audio to the app. Basically, each friend in the call will have their own “place” in the virtual space and their voice will come out from a different spot in the stereo field.
