iOS 13 changes the handling of location data. When an app requests access to location, the user chooses whether to grant access whenever they are using the app, never, or only once. The user will receive similar prompts for background location access, and when an app requests access to Bluetooth or Wi-Fi (which may also be used for non-consensual location tracking).{{Cite web|url=https://www.cnet.com/how-to/keep-your-location-secret-with-ios-13s-new-privacy-features/|title=Keep your location secret with iOS 13's new privacy features|last=Cipriani|first=Jason|website=CNET|language=en|access-date=2019-08-08|archive-date=August 8, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190808031830/https://www.cnet.com/how-to/keep-your-location-secret-with-ios-13s-new-privacy-features/|url-status=live}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.theverge.com/2019/9/19/20867286/ios-13-bluetooth-permission-privacy-feature-apps|title=Here's why so many apps are asking to use Bluetooth on iOS 13|last=Welch|first=Chris|date=2019-09-19|website=The Verge|language=en|access-date=2019-09-26|archive-date=September 26, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190926195803/https://www.theverge.com/2019/9/19/20867286/ios-13-bluetooth-permission-privacy-feature-apps|url-status=live}}

A system-wide dark mode allows users to enable a light-on-dark color scheme for the entire iOS and iPadOS user interface, all native applications, and supported third-party apps. It can be manually turned on or set to automatically switch between light and dark modes based on the time of day.{{cite web|url=https://www.macrumors.com/2019/06/03/apple-unveils-ios-13-dark-mode-swipe-keyboard/|title=Apple Unveils iOS 13 Featuring Dark Mode, Swipe Keyboard, Performance Improvements, and More|last=Hardwick|first=Tim|date=June 3, 2019|website=MacRumors|access-date=August 10, 2019|archive-date=June 24, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190624093328/https://www.macrumors.com/2019/06/03/apple-unveils-ios-13-dark-mode-swipe-keyboard/|url-status=live}}

The card UI elements from Apple Music, Apple Podcasts, and Apple Books has been implemented system-wide, being an option for third-parties to use in their apps.

Siri uses a software-generated voice called "Neural TTS", intended to sound more natural than previous versions that use clips of human voices. Siri also became more functional and new sound control is available. The Siri Shortcuts app is installed by default. Siri also uses HomePod to learn and recognize voices of different people. It is also possible for Siri to automatically read incoming messages aloud on AirPods.{{Cite web|url=https://www.theverge.com/2019/6/3/18650906/siri-new-voice-ios-13-iphone-homepod-neutral-text-to-speech-technology-natural-wwdc-2019|title=Siri is getting a new voice in iOS 13|last=Gartenberg|first=Chaim|date=2019-06-03|website=The Verge|access-date=2019-06-04|archive-date=July 11, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190711125900/https://www.theverge.com/2019/6/3/18650906/siri-new-voice-ios-13-iphone-homepod-neutral-text-to-speech-technology-natural-wwdc-2019|url-status=live}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.apple.com/ios/ios-13/|title=iOS 13|website=Apple Inc.|access-date=2019-10-25|archive-date=July 25, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190725114015/https://www.apple.com/ios/ios-13-preview/|url-status=live}}

The QuickType virtual keyboard features QuickPath, allowing the user to swipe their finger across the keyboard to complete words and phrases. This functionality was previously exclusively available via third-party keyboard applications such as SwiftKey, Adaptxt, Gboard, or Swype.{{Cite web|url=https://www.macworld.com/article/3432168/how-to-use-the-quickpath-swipe-keyboard.html|title=iOS 13: How to use the QuickPath swipe keyboard|date=2019-08-15|website=Macworld|language=en|access-date=2019-10-09|archive-date=June 7, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210607063656/https://www.macworld.com/article/3432168/how-to-use-the-quickpath-swipe-keyboard.html|url-status=live}} Emoji stickers have been included on the emoji keyboard and can be used wherever regular emoji can be.

iOS 13 and iPadOS 13 add a new system-wide gesture interface for cut, copy, paste, undo, and redo. A three-finger swipe left or up will undo; three fingers right or down will redo. A single three-finger pinch will copy, a second three-finger pinch will cut, and a three-finger spread pastes. A three-finger single tap will bring up a shortcut menu with all five options.{{cite web|url=https://9to5mac.com/2019/06/12/gestures-undo-ios-iphone-ipad/|title=iOS 13: How to use the new gestures for cut, copy, paste, and undo on iPhone and iPad|last=Potuck|first=Michael|work=9to5Mac|date=June 12, 2019|access-date=July 17, 2019|archive-date=May 12, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210512094851/https://9to5mac.com/2019/06/12/gestures-undo-ios-iphone-ipad/|url-status=live}}

{{Main article|Sign in with Apple}}

A new single sign-on service known as "Sign in with Apple" is integrated with iOS 13, and allows users to create accounts for third-party services with a minimal amount of personal information. Users may optionally generate a disposable email address for each account, improving privacy and anonymity, and reducing the amount of information that can be associated with a single email address.

All iOS applications that support third-party social login are required to implement Sign in with Apple,{{Cite web|url=https://www.theverge.com/2019/6/3/18650885/apple-sign-in-sso-tool-data-collection-privacy-ios-13-wwdc-2019|title=Apple announces new sign-in tool to compete with Facebook and Google|last=Brandom|first=Russell|date=2019-06-03|website=The Verge|access-date=2019-06-04|archive-date=September 22, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190922015744/https://www.theverge.com/2019/6/3/18650885/apple-sign-in-sso-tool-data-collection-privacy-ios-13-wwdc-2019|url-status=live}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.zdnet.com/article/wwdc-2019-sign-in-with-apple-will-be-mandatory-for-all-apps-using-third-party-login-systems/|title=WWDC 2019: 'Sign in with Apple' will be mandatory for all apps using third-party login systems|last=Cimpanu|first=Catalin|website=ZDNet|access-date=2019-06-04|archive-date=June 5, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190605204143/https://www.zdnet.com/article/wwdc-2019-sign-in-with-apple-will-be-mandatory-for-all-apps-using-third-party-login-systems/|url-status=live}} The iOS human interface guidelines also state that Sign in with Apple should be given prominence above any other login provider in application interfaces.{{Cite news|url=https://www.reuters.com/article/us-apple-apps-idUSKCN1T6056|title=Apple asks developers to place its login button above Google, Facebook|date=2019-06-05|work=Reuters|access-date=2019-06-05|language=en|archive-date=June 29, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190629052932/https://www.reuters.com/article/us-apple-apps-idUSKCN1T6056|url-status=live}}{{cite web|url=https://techcrunch.com/2019/06/07/answers-to-your-burning-questions-about-how-sign-in-with-apple-works/|title=Answers to your burning questions about how 'Sign In with Apple' works|last=Perez|first=Sarah|publisher=TechCrunch|access-date=June 13, 2019|archive-date=November 27, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191127121635/https://techcrunch.com/2019/06/07/answers-to-your-burning-questions-about-how-sign-in-with-apple-works/|url-status=live}}

iOS 13 contains several performance improvements. Face ID unlocks the iPhone X, XS/ XS Max, and XR up to 30% faster than on iOS{{nbsp}}12. A new file format makes app downloads as much as 50% smaller, app updates as much as 60% smaller, and app launches up to twice as fast.

Keeping the battery percentage more centered instead of complete charges and discharges reduces strain onto the battery. This reduces the battery aging of the lithium-ion battery and extends its lifespan.

iOS 13 introduced a new Core Haptics framework. Prior to iOS 13, apps could only provide the default haptic patterns. Core Haptics gives developers more fine-grained control over the iPhone's Taptic Engine, including synchronized audio, allowing apps to provide customized haptic and audio feedback.{{cite web|title=Core Haptics {{!}} Apple Developer Documentation|url=https://developer.apple.com/documentation/corehaptics?language=objc|website=developer.apple.com|access-date=17 October 2019|archive-date=June 7, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210607093826/https://developer.apple.com/documentation/corehaptics?language=objc|url-status=live}} This feature is only available on iPhone 8 or newer.{{cite web|title=Introducing Core Haptics - WWDC 2019 - Videos|url=https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2019/520/|website=Apple Developer|access-date=17 October 2019|language=en|archive-date=February 26, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210226191946/https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2019/520/|url-status=live}} It is also not supported on the iPod Touch due to the lack of a haptic motor in those devices.
