Apple rolls out iOS 14.5, beta 2
Apple has just launched another update that is rolling out the iOS 14.5 beta 2 that was launched at the beginning of this month.
This new update
includes a new Apple music interface with the ability to share lyrics on your social
media. Now you don’t have to Google the lyrics of your new favorite song
because you can just share them on social media with a share icon just like you
used to do with the whole song. You can
also use new swipe gestures that are offered in this new update.
One option is
that it has shortcut actions for taking screenshots. If you
are somebody who takes a lot of screenshots, you can now have them in an easy
way. You don’t even have to touch two buttons at once because there is a
shortcut action particularly for this. Then there is an option of setting
screen orientation switching between cellular data modes between 5G, 5G Auto,
4G, or 3G depending on your iPhone model. As for the privacy concerns, there is
good news. There is expanded support for iPad privacy features that
are incredible. One of that features is that your microphone shutting off to
keep your privacy. With this update version, users can even unlock their phones
with their Apple watch.
Another cool
thing is that you are going to get more than 200 new emojis. The most notable new emojis include the heart
on fire, exhaling face, face in clouds, and gender options for people with
beards. They wanted to come up with an extended version of human emotions. They
also upgraded the headphone emoji with the new AirPods Max-inspired headphone
design. There is also an updated syringe that removes the blood, making it more
useful for conversations about the COVID vaccine and testing. In times like
this, it is really necessary that you do anything to keep people prepared for what
is necessary.
To work on this new update, the company Apple welcomed the teams from 13 app
companies in its
inaugural cohort for Apple’s Entrepreneur Camp for Black Founders and
Developers. The program focuses on building technical skills and
designing a great user experience through sessions, hands-on labs, one-on-ones
with Apple experts and engineers, and more. People came from diverse backgrounds
and worked on the update with one goal to bring a better user experience for
its users. They use different approaches but working with like-minded people is
definitely going to result in awesome. It was also reported that VC firm Harlem
Capital will also offer mentorship to the team.

in the camp were from different app companies. The names of those apps include
fitness app B3am, news app Black, music app Bar Exam, 3D photos
