Apple has unveiled its plans for new operating software for iPhones, iPads and Macs.
CEO Tim Cook made the announcement Monday at the kick-off of Apple’s worldwide developers conference in San Francisco.
The mobile operating system iOS 8 will allow users to respond to texts or something on Facebook directly from the notification — even on the lock screen.
It also will include improved group messaging.
One of the biggest additions to iOS 8 is a new health-kit application. The app will monitor users’ heart rates, sleep, activity and breathing — among other health-related information.
The new operating system for Macs, called OS X Yosemite, features an updated Safari browser and search feature.
Both operating systems will be available to users this fall.
