IOS 14 will be out this fall, but a developer preview will be available to Apple Developer Program members starting today, with plans for a public beta for all iOS users in July. The last few iOS updates have been very hit-or-miss, with last year’s notoriously problematic iOS 13 following the incredible solid (from a performance standpoint) iOS 12, which in turn brought much-needed stability to the buggy iOS 11. And there’s a new “Sleep mode” that turns on do-not-disturb, dims your phone’s screen, and shows your upcoming alarm for morning. Developers now have an option to share subscriptions through Family Sharing. Safari on iOS 14 will now inform you if one of your passwords has been leaked in a data breach, similar to Chrome. There’s also a host of smaller features, too. The Home app is also getting new features, including support for “Adaptive Lighting,” which allows for compatible smart lights to adjust color temperature over the course of the day, and facial recognition for HomeKit security cameras. The new car key feature will also be coming to iOS 13, and to make sure you won’t get locked out of your car, it’ll use a special power reserve feature to allow access up to five hours after your phone has died. NFC passes are stored in Apple’s Secure Enclave for security and can be shared to other iOS users, giving them temporary access to your vehicle. Apple is also adding support for NFC car keys with iOS 14, with the 2021 BMW 5 Series set to be the first to support the feature. Apple is also adding new threaded conversations in group chats and mention notifications to ping specific people in the chat.ĬarPlay is getting support for custom wallpapers and new app categories: parking apps, EV chargers, and fast food takeout apps. There are also new Memoji accessories - including an apt face mask option. Messages is also getting new features: in iOS 14, you’ll be able to pin important contacts and conversations to the top of the Messages app to easily talk to your favorite friends or group chats. English, Mandarin Chinese, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Japanese,Korean, Arabic, Portuguese, and Russian will all be supported at launch. Users will be able to enter text in or dictate messages and have them translated into 11 languages. Similar, incoming phone calls and FaceTime calls will also appear with a less obtrusive new pop-up, instead of taking over the entire screen.Īpple also announced a new Translate app that will be built into iOS, which - much like Google Translate - will allow users to easily translate between languages. There are also new features: Siri can now send audio messages in addition to just dictated messages. Siri also has a new view: instead of taking over your whole screen when you activate the digital assistant, there’s just a small overlay at the bottom of the display of the animated Siri icon. To go with App Clips, Apple is launching a new QR-code format that uses both visual codes and NFC to access App Clips quickly.Īlso coming in iOS 14: the long-requested option to users to set their own default email and browsers, although Apple hasn’t provided too many details on how that works just yet. App Clips support Sign In With Apple to avoid having to make new accounts, can be accessed again through the new App Library, and work with Apple Pay. Examples given included accessing a parking app through an NFC tag, or a coffee store’s reward program. It’ll also work with FaceTime calls, too.Īpple is also launching a new “App Clip” feature, which are speedy, card-based snippets of apps that let you access small parts of apps when you need them without requiring users to install a full app. Much like on macOS, videos will hover over apps and can be adjusted in size or collapsed into the side of the display to continue playing in the background. In another new feature, Apple is adding system-wide picture-in-picture to iOS videos. Picture-in-picture video is coming to iOS
