Notifications have also been moved to the bottom of your iPhone screen. You can select to view the information in a stacked view, expanded list view, or hidden view.

Focus now features a streamlined setup process and can be tied to a specific lock screen.

In Messages, you can now edit a message that’s already been sent or unsend it.

You can edit a message up to 15 minutes after sending it and up to five edits. The recipient can see the edits. The unsend option is available for up to two minutes after sending.

SharePlay is now also available through Messages.

Anyone with an Apple Watch can now download watchOS 9.0.2.

Here are the release notes:

This update includes improvements and bug fixes for your Apple Watch.

– Interruptions to streaming audio on Spotify
– Snooze alarm notifications continue after the alarm is deleted for AssistiveTouch users
– Incomplete syncing of Wallet and Fitness data for newly paired Apple Watch
– Audio from microphone interrupted for some Apple Watch Series 8 and Ultra users

The update can be downloaded now through the companion Watch app on your iPhone by heading to General > Software Update in the My Watch portion of the app. You can also go to Settings > General > Software Update on an Apple Watch.

Your watch needs to have more than 50 percent power and connected to a charger. Like most Apple Watch updates, it could take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour to complete, so be patient.

It’s compatible with the Apple Watch Series 4 and later.
