What's new in iOS 13?

iOS 13 is the thirteenth significant release of the iOS mobile operating system developed by Apple Inc. for its iPhone and iPod touchlines. iOS 13 transforms the handling of location data. When an app calls for access to a location, the user selects whether or not to allow access whenever they are using the app, or only once.

The system-wide dark mode enables users to enable light or dark color scheme for the entire iOS and iPad OS user intersurface: all native applications and supported third-party apps. iOS 13 introduces an updated volume indicator that appears on the left side of the screen and allows the user to set the volume by sliding a finger on the indicator. Previous versions have the indicator in the center of the screen.
