iOS 14 without secrets.5 useful functions that Apple did not boast of during the presentation

Although the presentation opening WWDC 2020, during which, among others, was revealediOS 14, lasted almost 2 hours, Apple discussed only the most important functions of new versions of its systems.Here are some important but omitted news.

iOS 14 will warn that an application uses a microphone or camera

iOS for a long time allows for precise control of the rights granted to individual applications, so users can ensure that no external program has access to the microphone or camera.However, it may happen that the user will grant appropriate permissions, and the app will abuse them, e.g. by registering the sound when no recording functions are active.

Meanwhile, iOS 14 introduces the recording indicator.If the microphone or camera is active, an orange or red dot informing about this user appears in the upper right corner.

In addition, you will find information in the control center whether and when the app used to register the sound or image.

iOS 14 is a faster camera with new functions

Po prezentacji Apple zdradził, że aplikacja aparatu została usprawniona, dzięki czemu działa szybciej. Testy przeprowadzone na iPhonie 11 Pro Max miały wykazać, że — w porównaniu z iOS-em 13.5.1 — zdjęcia zapisywane są o 90 proc. szybciej, aparat jest o 25 proc. szybciej gotowy do działania, a robienie kolejnych zdjęć w trybie portretowym przyspieszono o 15 proc.

The iPhone XS, XR and newer models also got a function enabling separate setting and blocking of the exhibition and focus.Until now, something like this required the use of external photographic applications.

In the case of iPhone 11 Apple also facilitated taking photos in night mode.When using this function, a sight appears on the screen to facilitate the maintenance of a stable position.

iOS 14 and compact UI, i.e. a smaller screen of incoming connections

During the presentation, Apple boasted a new compact interface mainly in the context of Siri.However, it turns out that the entire screen will no longer be notified by an incoming connection.

This applies not only to telephone connections, but also with a guy or external VoIP messengers like Skype.However, the creators of the application must take care of this by reaching for a new API.

iOS 14 will allow you to open the car with a unloaded iPhone

Apple z dumą ogłosił, że iPhone — dzięki wbudowanemu czipowi NFC — będzie mógł pełnić funkcję kluczyka do wybranych modeli samochodów. Pojawiły się jednak obawy o to, że rozładowany telefon uniemożliwiłby dostanie się do pojazdu. Okazuje się jednak, że firma o tym pomyślała.

In a detailed description of the new function, Apple revealed that the iPhones with iOS 14 will accumulate a small supply of energy for the needs of Car Keys.Thanks to this, opening and starting the car is to be possible even for 5 hours after the battery has been discharged.

iOS 14 will allow you to do anything with anything taping on the back of the housing

We have already written in a separate text that iOS 14 allows the iPhone to detect twice or three times taping with a finger on the back of the housing.This is to enable one of 14 predefined actions such as making a screenshot, return to the main screen, display a control center or launch Siri.But this is not the end.

It turns out that under the gesture of knocking can be assigned to Siri shortcuts, and this already opens up to the user with almost unlimited possibilities.Nothing prevents you from taping a Google assistant, add an event to the calendar, light the lights at home or even convert recently recorded video on a gif.Siri shortcuts allow you to configure entire actions related to individual applications.
