Limit Communication

Now, users can set a limit for phone calls, messages, and FaceTime calls in the Screen Time app.

Safari security key support

The Safari browser on iPhone and iPad now supports FIDO2-compliant security keys that use USB, Lightning, or Near Field Communication. These security keys are physical gadgets, which help you to find authentication without relying on passwords. They were not available to Safari users until now.

Remove Memoji or Animoji Stickers

While mostly people like this iOS exclusive feature, but those who do not can now remove it from the emoji keyboard.

In order to do following steps need to be followed:

• Open phone settings

• Go to general

• Choose keyboard option

• Switch the toggle of Memoji Stickers

New message alert

With the iOS 13.3 update, Apple aims to reduce junk messages in the messaging application. It will also show an alert when users' message was delivered as "junk".

If you receive such an alert, you can ask the recipient to add your phone number to their Contacts.

"On your device, go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and make sure that only your phone number is selected under Start New Conversations From. If your Apple ID is selected, the messages will be delivered as junk," said Apple on its website.
