All jokes aside, the iOS 14 update isn’t only about the widgets and the creative home screens; it actually has some pretty cool stuff that we have always wanted on our smart phones. One example, the selfie camera! Have you ever taken your best selfie, and then when you view it in photos, it flips, and you suddenly hate yourself?
Yeah, this time, you can actually click ‘keep normal photo’ from settings.
Other unique features include:
Back tap
What: By tapping on the back of your phone, you can screenshot, lock your screen, mute your phone, and more.
How: Go to settings, accessibility, touch, back tap, and choose any of the options that you wish to easily access by back tapping.
Emoji Search
What: Instead of spending half of your time looking for a specific emoji, you can search it.
How: In the emoji section, type an expressive word in the search box, and the emoji will pop up.
Calls
What: Calls won’t interrupt your Instagram scrolling or video filming. It will just appear as a notification.
How: You can choose to reply or cancel from the notification.
Captions on photos
What: You can write a caption on any of your content in photos. It’s useful for saving memory.
How: On your favourite photo, swipe up and write your caption in the blank. It’ll be easier for you to search for those throwback photo’s later on!
