The built–in apps in iOS 13 are full of improvemen­ts and new features. Reminders has been overhauled, we’ve already shown you some great new additions in Mail, and Safari has been greatly improved, too. Shortcuts is now installed by default and much more powerful. And Siri and Voice Control are much improved as well.
