Apple releases iOS 14.3 with new features

 

Apple has released iOS14.3 and iPad OS 14.3 to the public yesterday, 14^th December 2020. It comes with a bunch of new amazing features for iDevice users. The latest features are part of Apple's previously impressive list of capabilities that were introduced in September by iOS 14 to its mobile devices. For example, by creating custom app icons and putting new widgets anywhere you want and you can fully customize your iPhone home screen. A new feature in the iPad update now allows you to type in any text area with the Apple Pencil and to turn it into the text rather than pulling the keyboard upwards. And that's just the start.

New Home screen

The iPhone has got a drawer-like app called App Library, which serves as a warehouse for storing all applications you don't use daily. The App Library can be reached by wiping all existing home screens from right to left. The ability to put widgets on the home screen is another first for the iPhone. Apple provided developers with tools that will make your Android friends jealous of a new widget style

Apple fitness plus

Apple Fitness Plus is the latest service designed for Apple Watch, priced at $9.99 per month and featured in the highest level Apple One bundle. The Apple Watch provides guided training by Apple-hired trainers, used to monitor progress through the training. Video workouts are seen on Apple TV, iPad, or iPhone, and Apple Watch metrics are available on the screen. Working types include high-intensity interval training, treadmill running, strength dance, yoga, core, rowing, and mindful cooldown.

App clips

Consider App Clips as thumbnails that only show you part of what the entire app can do. A Yelp App clip, for example, can display business hours and the restaurant menu for you and nothing more. If you want to try one, search for Panera Bread and search a location, then tap the order feed app on your iPhone.  You can access it again in the recently added folder after you use an App Clip in the App Library.

Shortcut apps and own app icons

The most popular addition is to create their own app icons and customize the look of your phone completely. Apple also added new features to its shortcut app. So you can download an icon that replaces an image of a lovely cat or a Gmail icon instead of the Apple Mail application icon and use it to start the app. The process is a bit tedious, but it's worth your time if you want a home screen that is different from anyone else.

Bug fixes

With iOS 14.3 you can fix a bug that might prevent certain MMS messages from being received and a problem that could prevent groups of contacts from failing to view members when writing a message. Some of the video clips did not appear when shared from the photos app and the app folders could not open; both are fixed. The application folders could not open correctly. Apple dealt with a large one which could cause Spotlight opening apps not to function and in settings of the Bluetooth option was not present.
