Take your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to the next level!
Version 1.2, updated June 11, 2021
iOS 14 brings new features to your iPhone or iPod touch, while iPadOS 14 updates your iPad with the latest goodies. In Take Control of iOS 14 and iPadOS 14 by TidBITS Managing Editor Josh Centers, you'll discover all the new features in iOS 14 and iPadOS 14 and how to make the best use of them.
Every year, Apple releases new versions of its mobile operating systems. In 2020, it was iOS 14 and iPadOS 14, both of which include tremendous new convenience features and significant revisions to your favorite apps.
As usual, Josh Centers is back with a book on the new operating systems, but this time around, we're taking a different approach. Instead of recycling and updating loads of old content, we're starting from scratch with a slimmer guide that focuses primarily on what's new in iOS 14 and iPadOS 14. Build on everything you already know about using your iPhone or iPad and explore what Apple has changed and added in this update.
Take Control of iOS 14 and iPadOS 14 covers a wide range of topics:
- Refresh your memory about how to perform common tasks such as navigating the lock screen, accessing Control Center, and managing your apps.
- Take a quick spin through the major design changes and new features.
- Clean up your Home screen with App Library.
- Add widgets to your Home screen.
- Use the new tools in Messages to improve group discussions.
- Find cycling routes, local guides, and more in the updated Maps app.
- Use new and improved features in the Camera and Photos apps.
- Get more (and better) Z's with sleep-tracking features in Health.
- Organize your notes and voice memos more effectively.
- Translate conversations in real time.
- Protect your privacy when using a mobile device.
- Find out what special new tricks are exclusive to iPads.
- Use new accessibility features to make your device easier to use.
- Discover what has been added since the initial release of iOS 14 and iPadOS 14.
- And much more!
Anyone with a compatible iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch will benefit from Josh's in-depth explanations.
