Apple announced iOS 15 and iPadOS 15 at its WWDC 21 a few months ago. Since then, it has rolled out several beta updates for the two operating systems.

Recently, Apple rolled out stable updates for iOS 15 and iPadOS 15. While they come with a slew of new updates, there are some features that are yet to make their way to the users. The iPhones and iPads miss out on features such as SharePlay, improved AirPod Find My support, Universal Control, and more. While the Universal Control is yet to roll out on the iPhones, the other features are missing from both iPhones and iPads.

The Verge reports that it looked through Apple's product pages for each OS to find the features that have yet to show up on iPhones and iPads. They found several missing features. One of the most prominent missing features for iPhone from iOS 15 is SharePlay.

For the unaware, SharePlay lets you watch videos or listen to music with friends on a FaceTime call. Apple showcased the feature at its WWDC 21. However, it warned developers and the users that SharePlay would be delayed after the company removed it from beta tests.

The SharePlay feature is one of the most prominent iOS 15 features because its delay is also holding back other features like recently announced Group Workouts for Fitness Plus. It won't roll out till Apple releases SharePlay.
