Yesterday, Apple released iOS 14 beta 3 for the iPhone and iPadOS 14 beta 3 for the iPad. This new beta brings a range of new features to both the iPhone and iPad, enhancing the user experience and adding more functionality.
New Features in iOS 14 Beta 3
Now we get to find out what is new in the latest beta of Apple’s iOS 14 in a new video from Zollotech. Let’s find out what changes have been made in this new beta.
As we can see from the video, there are a wide range of new features coming to the iPhone and iPad with the iOS 14 and iPadOS 14 beta updates. Some of the notable features include:
1. Widgets on the Home Screen: One of the most significant changes is the introduction of widgets that can be placed directly on the home screen. This allows users to customize their home screens with more information at a glance.
2. App Library: The App Library is a new way to organize your apps. It automatically categorizes all your apps into one simple, easy-to-navigate view, making it easier to find and access your apps.
3. Compact Calls: Incoming calls now appear as a banner at the top of the screen rather than taking up the entire screen, allowing users to continue what they were doing without interruption.
4. Picture-in-Picture: This feature allows users to watch videos or take FaceTime calls while using other apps. The video window can be resized and moved around the screen.
5. Enhanced Privacy Features: iOS 14 introduces new privacy features, including indicators that show when an app is using your microphone or camera, and more control over location sharing.
Release Timeline and Expectations
We are not expecting these updates to land for a while, probably a couple of months. The release timeline will likely depend on when the new iPhone 12 is launched. This is expected to happen sometime in either September or October. Apple typically releases the final version of its iOS updates around the same time as its new iPhone models.
In addition to the features mentioned above, iOS 14 beta 3 also includes various bug fixes and performance improvements. Apple continues to refine the operating system to ensure a smooth and stable experience for all users.
For developers and beta testers, these updates provide an opportunity to test their apps and ensure compatibility with the new features and changes. It also allows them to provide feedback to Apple, helping to identify and resolve any issues before the final release.
As soon as we get more information on when iOS 14 will officially land, we will let you know. In the meantime, if you are part of the beta testing program, you can explore these new features and provide your feedback to Apple.
