iOS and iPadOS 15 have been in the hands of developers for a few weeks now in the form of first beta. Apple will not take long to launch the second beta in which we can see stability improvements and the addition of new features that may have been left in the pipeline in the WWDC 2021 keynote. However, there are many other new functions that we already have with us, such as the new accessibility options in iOS and iPadOS 15. Among those new options we have the call Background sounds'which, as its name suggests, allows you to reproduce a constant sound in the background to increase concentration and optimize time.
Background sounds, the new accessibility option for iOS and iPadOS 15
Apple always pays great attention to accessibility features in big updates to your operating systems. It is a way to increase the integration of your software and hardware for people with different disabilities. However, in the latest updates we are seeing that the Big Apple also includes accessibility tools that cross borders beyond disabilities but to solve some kind of problem that generates any user certain situations.
iOS and iPadOS 15 could not be less and one of these new options is the call Background sounds. As its name suggests, it allows us to continuously reproduce a sound regardless of what is sounded in parallel in the applications. The user can choose the sound they want from those available: balanced noise, bright noise, dark noise, ocean, stream or rain.
To activate it, simply access the accessibility options from the Settings of your device with iOS or iPadOS 15. Then click on «Background sounds». Later, you can activate the function and select the type of sound you want to play in the background. In addition, you can configure the sound to be played and if we want it to also sound when other apps play sound.
