Apple Releases iOS 14 Beta 5: A Comprehensive Look at the Latest Updates

One of the most significant updates in iOS 14 Beta 5 is the new Apple News widget option. This widget now offers a much taller window that takes up the entire screen, providing users with more space to see additional news stories. However, due to its size, this widget cannot be used on the home screen and is only available in the Today View section for apps that use location services. When you open the widget, you'll be asked if you want to allow it to use your location data. If approved, widgets can use location data for up to 15 minutes when activated.

In addition to the new news widget, iOS 14 Beta 5 also includes a revised interface for Exposure Notifications. When you tap on Turn On Exposure Notification, the app now brings up an option to choose a country, region, or state. This feature will let you know if an exposure notification app is available for your area. Furthermore, users now have the option to hide the hidden album in the Photos app. Whenever you hide a photo, it gets removed from whatever album or the All Photo section and sent to the hidden album section.

The new Exposure Notifications interface may seem minor, but it's an essential update that will help protect users' privacy. With the ability to choose which apps can access location data, users have more control over their personal information. The revised interface also includes a toggle option to turn off the hidden album feature, making it easier for users to manage their photos.

Another notable update in iOS 14 Beta 5 is the tweak to the Settings app under Battery. The last charge level now displays with the "Last Charge" wording instead of being displayed on the right side of the screen. This change makes it easier to see the battery's status at a glance. Additionally, users can now toggle off the hidden album feature in the Photos app, making it less likely for others to stumble upon their hidden photos.

Moving on to the Music app, iOS 14 Beta 5 includes an exciting new addition: gradient color schemes that mimic the colors of the album art. These gradients sort of shift throughout as you switch tracks and different album art, adding a touch of visual flair to your music listening experience. This feature was previously only available in older iOS 14 betas but is now faster and more responsive.

Finally, the iOS 14 Beta 5 code includes a visualization of how the Spatial Audio feature for AirPods Pro will work. Although this video is not yet enabled, it provides an insight into what to expect from this feature. Spatial Audio promises to revolutionize the way we experience music and audio content on our devices. With its advanced technology, users can enjoy immersive soundscapes that simulate the physical location of the recording studio.

As we conclude our comprehensive look at iOS 14 Beta 5, it's clear that Apple has made significant strides in improving user experience and security. From the new Apple News widget to the revised Exposure Notifications interface, each update is designed to enhance your overall interaction with your device. With MotionVFX on board, you can take your content creation skills to the next level and create stunning animations and graphics that will leave your audience in awe. Stay tuned for more updates and insights from the world of tech!
