Apple iOS 15.5, iPadOS 15.5 update released: Check eligible iPhones, iPads and download process

Apple iOS 15.5, iPadOS 15.5 update: In good news for iPhone users around the world, the US-based tech giant Apple has started rolling out the iOS 15.5 and iPadOS 15.5 for its users, which will bring some incremental changes and also introduce some small features to the operating system. 

Apple iOS15.5 and iPadOS 15.5 will be rolled out for iPhone 6s and later, iPad Pro (all models), iPad Air 2 and later, iPad 5th generation and later, iPad mini 4 and later, and iPod touch (7th generation). 

In iOS 15.5 update, one of the biggest changes is to the Podcast application. The Podcast app now has a new setting that allows the user to set the number of Podcast episodes that can be stored on an iPad or an iPhone. This new setting will delete the older podcasts stored on the device to maintain the number of episodes on the phone.

The Apple Pay Cash portion on the Wallet will now have separate “Request” and “Send” buttons. This will make it easier for the user to manage the cash.

In iPadOS 15.5, the Universal Control feature is finally out of the beta phase. The 15.5 update brings out the stable update for the eligible iPads. The Universal Control is designed to allow you to control different iPads and Macs with the use of just one mouse or trackpad.

iOS 15.5 also introduces a much-awaited “External Link Account Entitlement”. This new feature will allow apps to add a link to an external website in order to manage their account and manage other things.  Apple has also introduced a new feature that limits some of the media captured in specific locations from popping up on the Photo Memories.
