Settings discovered in the first beta release of the new Apple iOS 7 mobile operating system, which was unveiled at the beginning of this month during their WWDC 2013 conference, have revealed a number of new features which Apple is currently working on and hopes to bring to the final release of their Apple iOS 7 operating system when it launches in the fall of this year, or maybe in a later update.
The new Apple iOS 7 settings were discovered by Hamza Sood and reveal features such as multitasking gestures, nesting folders within folders, and even the ability to hide pre-installed applications. These features are designed to enhance user experience by providing more customization options and improving the overall functionality of the operating system. Check out the video which has been created by Sood for a run-through of the new features and functions.
Multitasking Gestures
One of the standout features discovered in the iOS 7 beta is the introduction of multitasking gestures. These gestures allow users to switch between apps more fluidly and efficiently. For example, a swipe up from the bottom of the screen can bring up the multitasking menu, while swiping left or right with multiple fingers can switch between open applications. This feature is particularly useful for power users who frequently switch between apps and need a quicker way to navigate their device.
Nesting Folders Within Folders
Another exciting feature is the ability to nest folders within folders. This allows for better organization of apps and files, making it easier for users to keep their home screens tidy. For instance, you could have a main folder for “Work” and within that folder, subfolders for “Emails,” “Documents,” and “Projects.” This hierarchical organization can be particularly beneficial for users who have a large number of apps and need a more structured way to access them.
Additionally, the ability to hide pre-installed applications is a feature that many users have been requesting for years. Often, users find themselves with a number of pre-installed apps that they never use but cannot delete. With iOS 7, users will have the option to hide these apps, decluttering their home screens and making it easier to access the apps they actually use.
These new features are just the tip of the iceberg. Apple is known for its attention to detail and user-centric design, and iOS 7 is shaping up to be one of the most significant updates to the operating system in recent years. The beta release has already generated a lot of excitement, and as more information comes to light, it’s clear that Apple is committed to delivering a robust and feature-rich OS.
As more information comes to light on the new Apple iOS 7 features and functions, we will keep you updated as always. The anticipation for the final release is building, and it will be interesting to see how these new features are received by the public. Whether you are a casual user or a tech enthusiast, iOS 7 promises to offer something for everyone.
