As Apple promised during today's Keynote, it happened. A little while ago, the company released the new iOS 12.2 for all users, which brings several new features. The update also includes bug fixes and a few other improvements.

You can download iOS 12.2 on iPhone and iPad in Settings -> In general -> Software update. For iPhone X, you need to download the 824,3 MB installation package. The new software is available to owners of compatible devices, which are all iPhones, iPads and iPod touches that support iOS 12.

The main news of iOS 12.2 are mainly better voice messages sent via iMessage, a clearer list of transactions in the Wallet application, the ability to set a quiet mode for individual days in the Screen Time function, improvements for Safari and Apple Music, as well as support for the new AirPods. iPhones and iPads with Face ID received four new Animoji with the arrival of the system. Apple Maps users in the US, UK and India can now enjoy the air quality index. On the contrary, an indicator of the remaining time until the end of the device warranty will be useful for everyone. See the full list below.
