The release of Apple Maps, however, attracted significant criticism, due to inaccurate or incomplete data. Critics noted that the operating system did not offer any significant speed improvements or major redesigned elements, but instead focused on refinements, with a general consensus that Apple "isn't overhauling things for the sake of it." iOS 6 didn't "completely change the way you use your device," but "each of the tweaks will make many daily smartphone actions easier across the board," and critics noted that refinement of "something that already works extremely well" is "something other companies would do well to emulate." Siri was added to more devices, and updated with more functionality, including the ability to make restaurant reservations, launch apps, retrieve movie reviews and sports statistics, and read items from the Notification Center. New privacy controls allow users more fine-grained app permissions, as well as an option to prevent targeted advertising. Facebook was integrated into the operating system, incorporating status messages, like buttons, and contact and event synchronization to several of Apple's apps. The App Store received a visual overhaul, bringing a card-based app layout as well as tweaks to search algorithms. IOS 6 added a new Apple Maps app, replacing Google Maps as the default mapping service for the operating system a dedicated Podcasts app, as a central location for podcasts and a Passbook app, for managing different types of tickets, boarding passes, coupons, and loyalty cards. It was succeeded by iOS 7 on September 18, 2013. It was announced at the company's Worldwide Developers Conference on June 11, 2012, and was released on September 19, 2012.
