Many major apps , like Netflix, Prime Video, and Microsoft Outlook, already support the Duo’s extra screen real estate, but some still need some work .

Apple is rolling out support for Google’s SynthID AI watermark in Photos and Image Playground, too, according to 9to5Mac .

The Apple Podcasts app is also replacing its “Up Next” queue with a list of “New Episodes,” along with a “Continue Playing” section just beneath it. You’ll also see the new Apple Music logo . And group calls on FaceTime now support dual capture so you can show both what’s visible from your selfie cam and your back cameras.
