Experience after using the door detection feature
Detecting the door and calculating our distance to the door can be a bit slow. As we walked towards the door, we quickly noticed that the last distance iPhone was a bit slow. So if we walk slowly, there might not be much trouble.
This feature is very smart. because it can tell whether the door is hinged or sliding The doorknob can also be detected and identified as a knob.
It is considered a feature that should help those who can’t see more or less.
