Now that iOS 14 has been out for a couple weeks, you might feel confident you've found all of its new features. It's entirely possible you have, but then again, there are a lot of subtle tweaks in the update that aren't always obvious. Apple's latest software version for iPhone contains a bevy of fresh features that will change the way you use your phone -- for the better. In many ways, iOS 14 is Apple's most involved visual face-lift in years.
- IOS 14 was released on September 16th, 2020. New features include a new home screen design, widgets, picture in picture, and more.
- The iOS and iPadOS 14.5.1 updates can be downloaded for free and the software is available on all eligible devices over-the-air in the Settings app. To access the new software, go to Settings.
iOS 14 is still in preview, but we're already finding features we absolutely love.
Apple typically reveals new versions of iOS at its annual Worldwide Developers Conference in June. Last year's virtual WWDC started on June 22, and we got our first look at iOS 14, iPadOS 14. IOS 14 comes with new App Library, widgets on the home screen and Translate app. Photograph: Apple Last year's iOS 13 introduced changes centred around privacy and speed, plus Dark Mode, but. The release of iOS 14.5 and iPadOS 14.5 comes after Apple's first event of 2021, where the company announced new iPad Pro models, the Tile-like AirTag, a new Apple TV with a new remote, a purple.
From iMessage improvements and a handy Android-like app drawer to widgets for your home screen, there's a lot you can start using right away.

If you haven't updated yet, take some time to get your iPhone ready before you install the iOS update. Below you'll find six of my favorite features and how to get started with them on iOS 14 .
Python combine multiple excel files. Read more:iPhone 12: Apple finally set the date for its latest iPhone's debut
1. Tag someone in a text conversation
Apple's updates to its Messages app primarily focused on group iMessage conversations.
What: You can now tag someone in a conversation when you want to get their attention (useful for large groups), and directly reply to a message, creating a thread within your conversation. That should get you a timely response.
How: Tagging someone in a group convo should be as simple as typing the @ symbol followed by their name when in the chat. An in-line reply is done by long-pressing on a message and selecting Reply.
2. Pin a conversation to the top of messages
What: Pinning a conversation to the top of your Messages app means you don't have to scroll through the long list of contacts and group conversations to find your favorite contacts. This is especially useful if you have a go-to group, like a family chat or friend chat you talk in every day, or if you're planning a longer-term event like a group watch party.
How: You can pin a contact or conversation to the top of your conversation list by swiping to the right across any thread.

What: Instead of having to use Google's Translate app on your iPhone, iOS 14 has a baked-in Translate app that will allow you to convert text and even hold conversations with someone who only speaks a different language. You can translate English, Mandarin Chinese, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Portuguese and Russian.
How: You have two options once you open the app. You can type the word or phrase you want translated, or tap on the icon of a microphone at the bottom of the screen to use voice-to-text. Once you're done, the app will translate what you said into your language of choice. This is especially useful if you're asking someone a quick question or want to hear the pronunciation as well.
To hold an ongoing conversation, turn the phone to landscape mode and tap on the same mic icon -- you don't have to press and hold.

Ever wished that your iPhone had an app drawer like Android? Well, now it does. It's called App Library.
What: App Library is a new screen that lives just to the right of your last home screen. It automatically arranges all the apps on your phone in folders based on app category. The purpose of this feature is to make it easy for you to find all the apps installed on your iPhone. It goes hand in hand with another new home screen feature that lets you hide pages of apps that you infrequently use.
How: Use App Library when you want to open an app that isn't displayed on one of your home screens. To get to it, swipe from right to left to go past the final home screen. Either use the automatically organized folders to find the app icon you want, or use the search bar at the top of the screen to find the app by name if you're not sure where it's located. Alternatively, at the top of the App Library screen you'll find two folders: Suggestions and Recently Added. Both will automatically update and adjust which apps are in either folder based on how often you use an app and what you've recently installed.
Here's more information on how to hide home screen pages to make the App Library easier to access.

You no longer have to be envious of your Android-using friends -- the iPhone can now have widgets on the home screen. That's right.
What: Instead of Widgets being limited to the Today View that lives off to the left side of your home screen, you can now add widgets directly to your display, with multiple sizes as an option. There's even a Smart Stack widget that will show you information from multiple apps when it thinks you need it. For example, it can show you the weather widget followed by your calendar widget when you wake up in the morning.
How: You can view your widgets in Today View the way you always have, off to the left side of your main home screen, or you can drag and drop a widget from the Today View to your home screen. Alternatively, when editing your app layout, you can tap on the plus sign in the top-left corner of the screen, bring up the widget gallery and see which widgets you can add to your device.
© Provided by CNET Widgets can be pinned to your home screen and resized to your liking. Animated image by Jason Cipriani/CNET6. Picture in Picture is a convenience tool you'll love
The iPad has been able to play a video in picture-in-picture mode for a few years now, and Picture in Picture is finally coming to the iPhone.
What: Picture in Picture creates a thumbnail image of a video that continues to play even when you're on another app or screen. It'll appear when you want to switch gears to use a different part of the phone but you don't want to stop the video.
How: Whenever you're watching a video in a supported app, like Twitch, and swipe to go back to the home screen, the video will continue to play, just in a smaller window. You can drag PiP around the screen, adjust its size by pinching and zooming and even temporarily hide it off the edge of the screen. When you're done, just tap the X to close the video. Oh, and let's not forget -- Picture in Picture also works with FaceTime video calls and these other apps. Huzzah!
© Provided by CNET You can keep a FaceTime conversation going in iOS 14 while looking at your schedule, or any other iPhone screen. Patrick Holland/CNETLearn about the key technologies and capabilities available in the iOS SDK, the toolkit you use to build apps for iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. For detailed information on API changes in the latest released versions, including each beta release, see the iOS & iPadOS Release Notes.
iOS 14
With the iOS 14 SDK, users can more easily discover your app's core functionality through app clips. SwiftUI introduces a new app life cycle and new view layouts. It supports the new WidgetKit framework, which allows your app to display information directly on the iOS Home screen. Machine learning adds style transfers and action classification to the models, and offers a CloudKit-based deployment solution. Vision API additions help your app analyze image and video more thoroughly. ARKit advances promote an even tighter integration with the world around the device, and you can include markups in your emails and websites that help Siri Event Suggestions surface your events.
App Clips
An app clip is a lightweight version of your app that offers users some of its functionality. It's discoverable at the moment it's needed, fast, and quick to launch. Users discover and open app clips from a number of places, including Safari, Maps, and Messages, as well as in the real world through QR codes and NFC tags. App clips also provide opportunities for users to download the full app from the App Store. To learn how to create your own app clips, see the app clips documentation.
Widgets
Widgets give users quick access to timely, at-a-glance information from your app right on the iOS Home screen. iOS 14 offers a redesigned widget experience. Your app can present widgets in multiple sizes, allow user customization, include interactive features, and update content at appropriate times. To learn about designing widgets, see the Human Interface Guidelines. To learn how to support widgets in your app, see the WidgetKit framework.
SwiftUI
SwiftUI provides a selection of new built-in views, including a progress indicator and a text editor. It also supports new view layouts, like grids and outlines. Grids and the new lazy version of stacks load items only as needed.
Starting in Xcode 12, you can now use SwiftUI to define the structure and behavior of an entire app. Compose your app from scenes containing the view hierarchies that define an app's user interface. Add menu commands, handle life-cycle events, invoke system actions, and manage storage across all of your apps. By incorporating WidgetKit into your app, you can also create widgets that provide quick access to important content right on the iOS Home screen or the macOS Notification Center. For more information, see App Structure and Behavior.
ARKit
ARKit adds Location Anchors, which leverages the refine location feature in the new Apple Map to enable rear-camera AR experiences in specific geographic locations. A new Depth API lets you access even more precise distance and depth information captured by the LiDAR Scanner on iPad Pro. To learn more about these features, see the ARKit framework documentation.
Machine Learning
![New New](https://www.iphonefirmware.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Apple-unveils-iOS-14-with-new-home-screen-design-widgets-picture-in-picture-more-iphonefirmware-com.jpeg)
Your machine learning apps gain new functionality, flexibility, and security with the updates in iOS 14. Core ML adds model deployment with a dashboard for hosting and deploying models using CloudKit, so you can easily make updates to your models without updating your app or hosting the models yourself. Core ML model encryption adds another layer of security for your models, handling the encryption process and key management for you. The Core ML converter supports direct conversion of PyTorch models to Core ML.
The Create ML app's new Style Transfer template stylizes photos and videos in real time, and the new Action Classification template classifies a single person's actions in a video clip. For more information, see the Core ML and Create ML developer documentation.
Vision
With iOS 14, the Vision framework has added APIs for trajectory detection in video, hand and body pose estimation for images and video, contour detection to trace the edges of objects and features in image and video, and optical flow to define the pattern of motion between consecutive video frames. To learn more about these features, see the Vision framework documentation. In particular, read Building a Feature-Rich App for Sports Analysis to find out how these features come together in a sample app.
Natural Language
The Natural Language framework has new API to provide sentence embedding that creates a vector representation of any string; word tagging to train models that classify natural language, customized for your specific domain; and confidence scores that rank the framework's predictions. For more information, see the Natural Language framework documentation.
App Store Privacy Information
Privacy is at the core of the entire iOS experience, and new privacy information in the App Store gives users even more transparency and control over their personal information. On iOS 14, apps will be required to ask users for permission to track them across apps and websites owned by other companies. Later this year, the App Store will help users understand apps' privacy practices, and you'll need to enter your privacy practice details into App Store Connect for display on your App Store product page.
Siri Event Suggestions Markup
You can use the Siri Event Suggestions Markup to provide event details on a webpage and in email. Siri parses travel arrangements, movies, sporting events, live shows, restaurant reservations, and social events. Once parsed, Siri can suggest driving directions, a ride share to a scheduled event, or activation of Do Not Disturb just before a show starts. To learn how to integrate your own events with Siri, see the Siri Event Suggestions Markup documentation.
New Ios Update
PencilKit
PencilKit now enables handwriting recognition inside text fields. Using gestures, users can also select or delete text, and join or break up words. You can add data detection to your app, as well as text and shape recognition and selection. For more information, see the PencilKit framework documentation.
