iOS 12 Release Date, Features: Is the Update's Anticipated Notification System Really Game-Changing?

Out of all the new features that iOS 12 can possibly give to loyal iPhone users, it seems it's the notification features that are getting the crowd excited. It's probably because regardless of whether you use your phone for work or play, everyone has to deal with notifications on their smartphone.

MacRumors breaks down some of the handy features of the anticipated notification system. One of the primary standouts is the grouping of notifications, which can help iPhone users with working through their app notification clutter one by one. This helps users focus on the notifications they feel are important, as well as make sure they don't miss any of those notifications just because they cleared the notification dashboard.

The new notification system for the iOS 12 will also allow users to specify which notifications will get to disturb them when the phone is set in Do Not Disturb mode using the new Critical Alerts system. Users who need the silence of the DND mode will also be glad to specify until what time the mode will stay active without having to worry about switching it to the regular alerts mode.

Instant tuning will also help iPhone users who have a tendency to use multiple apps by allowing them to control how often and in what way an app they have will notify them directly from the notification tray. Users will simply have to swipe left on a notification to see options in managing the app.

The new notification system isn't just for users. App developers will be glad to know that iOS 12 will be providing them with the capacity to create apps that allow users to not just get notified, but to interact with their apps through the notification buttons.

For those who think that the new notification system for iOS 12 is amazing, don't forget to check the other new features that Apple's upcoming smartphone operating system will be bringing to the table. iOS 12 is slated for release to the public this fall.
