You can watch videos and listen to music with friends over a FaceTime call.

One of the biggest updates comes to FaceTime, Apple's app for video and audio calls.

Just like portrait mode for photos on the iPhone, which separates you from your background, FaceTime turns the background of your video call into a nice artistic blur. .

Apple showed a video of two people having a FaceTime call.

During a FaceTime video call, you can now play a song or a video, like Mythic Quest on Apple TV Plus, and everyone on the call can listen or watch it together?

Another new feature to FaceTime is called SharePlay, which lets you share your screen, your music or videos over a video call.

For example, if you're on a FaceTime call, you can play a song in Apple Music and listen to it over the call with your friends and family.

The feature works with Apple Music, as well as video content from Apple TV Plus, TikTok, Disney Plus, HBO Max and Hulu, among others.

Watching a video over FaceTime can also be shared to your Apple TV.

SharePlay looks like it adds an enormous wealth of multitasking and service integration when you're on a FaceTime call.

Another new feature called Shared with You, which takes videos, music and story links people shared with you in Messages and organizes them in a new tab for the corresponding app.

For example, if a friend sends you a link to an Apple News story via iMessage, it's automatically added to the Shared with You tab in the Apple News app.

Shared with You also brings photos that are shared with you in Messages into your Photos app.

Shared with You works in the following apps: Apple Music, Apple News, Apple TV, Safari, Photos and Podcasts.

For example, if you're at work, you can choose to only be notified by coworkers for apps like Mail, Calendar or Slack.

With a new search feature called Visual Lookup, you search the word "beach" and the iPhone will display any photos that have a beach in them or were taken at a beach.

This seems like it's a huge improvement when it comes to searching through your photos and might help the Photos app catch up to the detailed photo searches you can do in Google Photos.
