2 new sounds, namely glass breaking and kettle, have been added to iOS 15. This enables your iPhone to recognize fifteen sounds, compared to iOS 14’s thirteen sounds. By toggling on the essential sound recognitions, you can stay well-informed in any given situation by receiving the notification on your iPhone.
