Siri and 3rd Party Apps

Photos
Photos received a couple updates including making it easier to search using multiple terms like "beach" and "dog". Photos are now organized by year, month and date. Editing is also easier with the new Photos update!
App Location Permissions
Apps with location tracking now have more options. You can select if you'd like to have an app track your location never, while using the app or it will ask you your preference the next time you use the app. Occasional reminders will also pop up to remind you that an app is using your location and will ask if you'd like to continue.
Silence Unknown Calls
Anyone else tired of robocalls?! Now you can silence unknown callers! If a number is not listed in your contacts, mail or messages you can choose to send that call directly to voicemail. Go to Settings > Phone > Silence Unknown Callers to activate this feature. Be careful, you could miss important calls that you don't have programmed in your contacts!
VoWiFi & VoLTE
Voice over LTE is now automatically turned on for Nex-Tech Wireless customers in the iOS 13 update! If you've not yet experience VoLTE you're missing out!
