When will ios 15.2 be released?
iOS15 was released in September 2021.
This is the time when the iPhone 13 series was released.
Every year when a new iPhone is released, a large-scale update is performed.
Apple regularly updates with new features and bug fixes, and ios15.2 was released in December 2021.
Explain the new features of ios15.2!
I will explain in detail what new features were added when updating to ios15.2.
Many of the new features are surprisingly unknown, and even those who are currently using ios15.2 may have new discoveries.
By the way, devices that support ios15.2 are iPhone 6s and later models.
If you are using a model up to iPhone 6, it is not supported, so we recommend changing the model as soon as possible.
Apple Music Voice plan
The first new feature of ios15.2 is “Apple Music Voice plan”.
In a nutshell, “a low-cost version of Apple Music limited to Siri operations”.
You can use it for 480 yen per month.
The difference from normal Apple Music is as follows.
- Limited to Siri controls
- Many features are not supported, such as offline playback, lossless audio, and spatial audio
- Cannot be used on non-Apple devices
There is a high possibility that it is unsuitable for those who are particular regarding operability and sound quality.
Conversely, if you ask Siri to play recommended songs and listen to them, you can recommend it because the price is cheaper than regular Apple Music.
Privacy related
A feature called App Privacy Report has been added to the “Privacy” section of the Settings app.
With this feature, you can see the history of how apps have accessed your contacts, photos, and more in the last 7 days.
Apple ID related
Added “Digital Heritage” feature.
If the user who used the device dies, it is possible to set who can access the user’s iCloud account and personal information.
At the top of the Settings app, where your username is listed, you can set it from “Password and Security” and then “Deceased Account Management Contact”.
It’s a pleasure for families to be able to access memorable photos and important data.
camera related
From ios15.2 on iPhone13Pro and iPhone13ProMax, macro shooting can now be operated manually.
Macro photography is a function that is only installed in iPhone13Pro and iPhone13ProMax.
However, when it was first released, it was not possible to manually control macro photography.
After updating to ios15.2, you can switch the macro shooting function on/off by tapping the flower icon displayed at the bottom left of the camera app screen.
Apple TV related
You can now purchase, rent, and watch works from the store tab of the AppleTV app.

You can now check detailed road information such as right and left turn lanes and median strips from Apple’s genuine map app.
ios15.2 consumes battery fast! ? Explain the problem!
When updating to ios15.2, symptoms such as intense battery consumption may occur.
Even if you go to great lengths to update it, if it becomes difficult to use, it’s putting the cart before the horse.
There have also been reports of bugs caused by the update.
I also explain it in this article, so please take a look.

Problem that can not communicate with iPhone
When updating to ios15.2, there seems to be a problem that the iPhone suddenly becomes out of service and communication is not possible.
If you go out of range, you can’t use your iPhone at all except in a Wi-Fi environment, so it’s troublesome.
Problems such as not receiving LINE notifications or being delayed
In ios15.2, there seems to be a problem that some apps such as LINE do not receive notifications, or the notifications themselves are delayed from the original timing.
I think there are many people who are in trouble if important contacts from work or family are delayed.
battery drains quickly
When updating to ios15.2, the problem that there are quite a lot of inquiries is “battery consumption is fast”.
When updating ios, battery consumption speed is affected by a considerable number of users.
I will explain in detail regarding the decrease in battery consumption that is faster when updating.
Battery drains faster following updating
The quote below is a different version, but it is the contents of the exchange with Apple support with the user whose battery consumption speed has increased when updating.
Thanks for reaching out! We’ll be happy to help. It’s normal for your apps and features to need to adjust up to 48 hours following an update.
Let’s have you reach out to us in a DM if this is still an issue following that time so we can help you look into this further.

According to Apple support, “It’s normal for battery consumption to be intense for up to 48 hours following the update because there are adjustments such as apps.”
If the battery consumption is high even following 48 hours have passed, there is a possibility of another problem, so it is better to contact Apple support.
Troubleshooting following update
What should I do if a problem occurs following updating?
We will explain in detail how to deal with typical problems that occurred following the ios15.2 update as examples.
If the iPhone cannot communicate
I will explain how to deal with “iPhone cannot communicate”.
If you experience symptoms such as the iPhone going out of range or not being able to use mobile data following updating, the following methods are effective.
- Turn on/off airplane mode
- Do a device reboot
- Go to a mobile shop and consult
Temporary glitches may be fixed by turning airplane mode on/off or restarting the device.
If the problem still persists, you may want to go to a mobile shop and have the SIM card replaced.
If you do not receive notifications from apps such as LINE, or if they are delayed
We will explain how to deal with “when notifications are not received or delayed with apps such as LINE”.
If the symptoms occur following the ios15.2 update, there is a high possibility that it will be improved by the following method.
- If the app is not the latest version, update the app
- Device reboot
- Reinstall the app
If the app is not the latest version, you may not be able to use the app normally, such as not receiving notifications unless you update.
Since the software of the device may have temporarily malfunctioned due to the update, there is a high possibility that it will be restored by restarting the device and performing the refresh work.
If the problem persists, please reinstall the app.
However, if you reinstall, you may need to log in once more depending on the service.
Before you start working, make a note of your backup work and your login ID.
If the battery consumption is fast even following up to 48 hours
According to Apple support, app adjustments are being made for up to 48 hours following the update, so it’s normal for the battery to consume a lot of power.
If the battery consumption speed is fast even following 48 hours have passed, it is recommended to contact Apple Support.
You can easily contact us from the Apple Support app.
Currently there is an update newer than ios15.2
As of August 2022, the latest version of ios is 15.6.
It’s a good idea to update unless you have a particular reason, as there is a possibility that bugs will be greatly improved.
What to do if you can’t update
There can be multiple reasons why your device is unable to update.
I will explain in detail the typical reasons why updates cannot be performed.
Check if your device is compatible
If your device is older, the update may not support it.
The latest version as of August 2022 is ios15.6.
Compatible devices are iPhone 6s and later models.
iPhone6s, iPhoneSE (1st generation), and iPhone7 are not supported in ios16, which is scheduled to be released in the fall of 2022.
If you are using the corresponding model, we recommend that you change the model as soon as possible.
Check if you have enough space
If your device does not have enough storage space, you will not be able to update.
Most updates consume hundreds of megabytes to several gigabytes of space.
If the storage capacity is at the limit, there is a high possibility that the update cannot be performed normally.
If you run out of storage space, here’s what to do:
- Erase unnecessary data (photos and apps)
- Change the model to a model with a large storage capacity
If you’re running out of storage space on your device, you basically have no choice but to delete the data you don’t need or upgrade to a model with a larger storage capacity.
If you don’t want to erase your data, buy a model with a generous storage capacity.
Check if there is a problem with the communication environment
If the surrounding communication environment is poor, the update may not be performed normally.
The recommended method is to update in a Wi-Fi environment.
A stable communication environment is required because the update uses a large amount of data communication.
By performing the update work in a Wi-Fi environment, you will be able to update safely and normally.
summary
I explained in detail the new features and bugs of iOS 15.2.
iPhones are regularly updated to add new features, fix bugs, and improve security.
Update frequently and use your device safely.
