Apple announced a slew of improvements to iOS 14 at its WWDC 2020 keynote. Here are some features that didn’t make it into the presentation.
As is typical, there’s a lot of new features, capabilities and functions in iOS 14 that Apple didn’t have time to announce during its Monday keynote. Here are some of the important ones that we’ve found.
Along with the Back Tap functionality and support for Apple Watch, the Shortcuts app is also getting new trigger types and 13 new automatic triggers.
The automatic trigger types, which include Low Power Mode or Airplane Mode, can run automatically without asking for a user’s permission.
Thanks to Apple’s purchase of Dark Sky, it appears that some of those app’s features are now being incorporated into iOS 14. For one, U. S. users will see a chart with a minute-by-minute precipitation intensity forecast.
The Weather app itself also shows new information on severe weather events, as well as more usual shifts in the local weather.
Apple has given Photos some slick pinch-and-zoom options in iOS 14. It has also enhanced the Memories function and introduced a new image picker for third-party apps.
Users can also add captions to photos and organize with additional categories for filtering and sorting.
Users on iOS 14 now have two new privacy controls when it comes to local Wi-Fi networks on their devices. For one, apps will now need to ask permission to connect to devices on a local network.
Apple also introduced a new «Private Address» option that can prevent operators of Wi-Fi networks from tracking your device.
