Yesterday, Apple unveiled iOS 14 as part of its WWDC 2020 keynote, which is a big new update. As expected, the company spent a large part of the event introducing the latest mobile operating system and big new features, including items like revamped widgets, new Messages, Maps, and Safari apps, Translate, improved Siri, enhanced CarPlay and App Clips.
This year may have the longest list of updates hidden on the company’s website in the ‘All-New Features’ page.
The features listed below might be even more important to some of you than what was mentioned during the keynote. If you’re already an iOS user or someone who ‘s talking about jumping a fence on Android, you’ll want to read this.
1. Widget Stacks
Apple has been exploring the latest widget concept at length in iOS 14. This also demonstrated the latest Smart Stack app, which stacks related widgets in one position. Hence, you can toggle through them and even adjust according to the time of day.
To build a stack on your home screen, simply place your favorite widgets one on top of another. You can then only flip through them without wasting extra room for several widgets on your home screen.
2. App Library
Apple addresses most of the features of the App Library in the keynote. But, it should be noted that all new applications that are downloaded will now go straight into the App Library. Instead, if you prefer the current form, you can opt to have them appear on the home screen too.
3. AirPods Features
AirPods also receives battery alerts along with spatial audio and automatic system switches addressed by Apple during the keynote. In addition, it will alert the user if the AirPods need to be charged before they call or start a video.
4. Privacy Features
Along with App Store privacy information, app tracking controls, and approximate locations, you can also only give access to selected objects to apps when an app asks for access to your photos instead of your entire photo library.
In addition, iOS can now show an indicator in the Control Center and in the in-app if any application uses a microphone or camera in the background.
