iOS 14.5 Review - Everything New! - Watch Before Updating!

The New Features in Apple Music and iPadOS 14.5

Apple has recently released updates to its music streaming service, Apple Music, and operating system, iPadOS 14.5, with several exciting new features that are sure to enhance the user experience.

One of the most notable changes in Apple Music is the addition of gestures. Now, when you swipe to the right on the top right corner of the screen, you'll have access to options such as "Share," "Add to Library," and "Play Next." This feature allows users to easily share their favorite songs or lyrics with others.

Another significant improvement in Apple Music is the ability to search for specific artists, albums, and genres. With a simple search query, you can now find all the music from a particular record label or project, such as Cash Money or Young Money. This feature has been particularly welcomed by fans of these labels, who can now easily access their favorite music.

In addition to these changes, Apple Music has also made some refinements to its interface and user experience. For example, when you tap on the three dots in the top right corner, a pop-up menu now appears instead of a window from the bottom. This change provides a cleaner and more intuitive interface for users.

The iPadOS 14.5 update has also brought several exciting new features to Apple's tablet operating system. One of the most notable changes is the addition of Landscape Boot Screen, which allows the iPad to automatically detect whether it's being used in landscape or portrait mode. This change provides a more seamless and user-friendly experience for users.

Another feature that's been added to iPadOS 14.5 is Emoji Search. As reported earlier, this feature was initially released with iOS 14, but it wasn't available on the iPad until now. With Emoji Search, you can easily search for your favorite emojis using a simple keyboard input.

Finally, iPadOS 14.5 includes some refinements to its existing features, such as Low Power Mode and AirTag support. The update brings a new animation when you enable Low Power Mode, which now displays the Apple logo in yellow instead of green. Additionally, if you have an AirTag, you'll need to update to iPadOS 14.5 in order to use it.

If you have a MagSafe-compatible iPhone case, you'll also notice a new animation when you enable Low Power Mode. This change provides a more visually appealing and attention-grabbing user interface.

The update also includes a new feature called Apple Translate, which has been upgraded with several exciting new capabilities. When you tap on the Play button to start playing music, you can now adjust the playback rate to suit your needs. Additionally, the update introduces several brand-new shortcuts that allow users to quickly access settings like Orientation Lock, Screenshot, and Voice and Data Mode.

not spoiler you should update the update size is 1.21 gigabytes so make sure you have enough space in order for you to install this update the highlight feature of this update is to be able to unlock your iphone using your apple watch now i'm going to take it to the settings and i'm going to go into uh face id and passcode and then you're going to go all the way down until you see update apple watch now unfortunately you will have to update your apple watch as well so i'll be right back once that's updated and since we're here if you want to update your watch to just launch up the watch app take it to general software update agree and then download install and just let it do its thing i'll be right back once this is completed all right guys so it is finished updating so i'm going to take it back to face id and passcode and we're gonna go all the way down and now you can see that option now available so you're just gonna simply tap on it enable it and it's gonna say simply's apple watch will unlock iphone when any mass is detected so it's very similar to the mac where you can unlock it using your apple watch without tapping in the password you can do the same thing on your iphone all right guys so i have a face mask on as you guys can see on the side and i have my apple watch unlocked it is ready to go but my phone is locked so what do i do i can swipe up and boom just like that so you guys can see i get the map message and the haptics and just like that now this is way better than my method you're going to unlock your iphone with the face mask on without an apple watch because this one here you need an apple watch in order for this to work but yeah this works really nice and then at any point you can lock your phone tap on that and now you're back on the lock screen so this is very very handy because once you lock it you can't unlock it again i guess you have to put in your passcode once you lock it that other time that alone actually is worth the update siri has more voices so if i take it back to the settings siri now you could be able to have different voices hi i'm siri choose the voice you'd like me to use hi i'm siri choose the voice you'd like me to use hi i'm siri choose the voice you'd like me to use hi i'm siri choose the voice you'd like me to use let me see how to south hi i'm siri choose the voice you'd like me to use hi i'm siri choose the voice you'd like me to use hi i'm siri choose the voice you'd like me to use hi i'm siri choose the voice you'd like me to use hi i'm siri choose the voice you'd like me to use hi i'm siri choose the voice you'd like me to use now something else new is siri you can actually ask siri to call emergency services call emergency services kind of mess that one up call emergency services and then you have a countdown and then it's going to call the emergency uh services just like that you can also accelerate to turn off auto brightness or enable it turn on auto brightness okay why is my siri not even talking hold on turn off auto brightness okay i turned auto brightness off now apple is always raising the bar when it comes down to security they have a new security layman called app tracking transparency so this is nice because don't you find it spooky that some advertisements it just tracks your your web activity so if you look in things on facebook or instagram you automatically start getting ads on different websites about that product so apple stepped in on ios 14.5 and they have a toggle now called tracking and you can request apps to allow to track so you're not gonna have anything crazy and this is gonna make it much harder for facebook to track advertisements so yeah the battle between apple and facebook it's just it's unreal man it's crazy but yeah i respect apple for adding this in now it wouldn't be a major ios update without new emojis you have 200 brand new emojis to choose from this is just a few here that i just search online but i can take it to the keyboard here actually and just see all the new emojis that i use um and yeah you're gonna have to just find them it's always important to update your phone because when someone sends you a new emoji that you don't have it's just gonna be that box with the question mark so you're not even going to understand it so it's nice to have the new emojis all 200 of them to spice up those convos you could do so with these emojis here we have a couple of ui refinements going on on apple maps so you can see this screen is totally different now it's modernized way better than what it was before i really don't look at things like this itineraries and stuff like that but yeah this looks new compared to the previous ios update and also and also they moved the end button here this was a pain in the neck they had the end button right here on the bottom right so people were like tapping that end button by accident so now there's an extra step you gotta tap on the arrow and now you can end it just like so or you can slide your finger up and also you can report accidents speed checks hazards just overall refinements going on on the apple maps me personally i still use google maps but time to time i like using apple maps because of the apple watch you also have support for dual sim 5g so for an iphone 12 apple promised that we're gonna have dual sim 5g that support is finally here and next up we have support for the dual sense controller this is the ps5 controller here and now you can finally pair it up to your iphone or ipad which is pretty nice so you take it to the settings you go into bluetooth um you go into bluetooth and i tried connecting this before when the ps5 first came out but it just was not seeing it it was really just the iphone being a little outdated to support the dual sense but if you want to put this into pair mode you want to press and hold the ps button and the create button at the same time until you see some flashing around the touch pad and then you guys see that little flash on the side now we're in pair mode and now you're gonna see on the bottom it says dual sense controller we're going to tap on that and then now we are connected and then on the top it says dual sense wireless controller connected and that's it and also this is going to be very handy if you want to play your ps5 games on your iphone via remote play so now you can finally use your dual sense controller now same apply on the xbox side so this is the series x and it's going to also work on the series s so if you want to pair up a series x or series s controller you want to tap and hold the connect on the top and then it's going to start flashing you want to take it to settings bluetooth okay there it is we're going to tap on it boom we're going to tap on pair and this thing is good to go so really nice there's a lot of things going on on the podcast app so the app has been entirely redesigned so it's a little bit more modern kind of remind me of apple music which we're going to talk more about that next and it just looks so much better so um if we go to mkbhd podcast we have this brand new interface it looks so like it just looks so refreshed and then we have casey we have the casey nastat podcast we need this podcast back man all right but i'm getting a little carried away this it just looks so much better than before shifting focus to apple music

subscriber again let's go over some of these new features oh this is cool you have new york top 25 los angeles top 25 atlanta let me see instead of it saying add on the top right and the plus it just

song add it to your library your playlist etc etc and now for the first time ever you have gestures so if i swipe to the right you now have play next or play last that's what it is and let's see we add we add this to next okay so yeah so that is the play next but what is pretty cool on apple music now you can share it lyrics so i could tap and hold a lyric so you could tap on the lyrics and send it to somebody but you do have a limit is 150 characters but then the best thing about that is when they tap on play it's gonna actually take you to that time stamp on where you shared it now i'm not sure how it's going to be if that person doesn't have apple music i'm not sure but this is pretty cool everybody have iphones everybody's in the apple ecosystem everybody sending each other apple music lyrics that's pretty fun i ain't gonna lie you can see when the album released that was one of my main complaints for apple music they show the year on when that came out but they don't show the exact month and day now adding more things to the search functionality you can now search labels so let's type in cash money so now you have the record label so you have cash money in all of the cash money projects so first thing of course comes up is drake and then just all the cash money stuff and you can even type in young money so now you can search up record labels but overall just some much needed refinements that i just definitely enjoy and then you have little small features such as when you type on this the three dots now you have this nice cleaner interface here instead of it being a window from the bottom now you have it as a pop-up menu now on your library side you have just for you so now you can have that on so i appreciate the refinements going on apple music now the apple translate got a couple of upgrades too if you tap on the on the play button you can actually change the playback rate so so you can change the playback rate maybe you want to learn the language you

shortcuts new ways to customize your iphone now if you have mag safe you have a brand new animation let me take my case off so normally when you use magsafe you have this interface okay there's nothing wrong with that but what is new is when you enable low power mode right here now it goes along with the low power mode theme so now it's yellow opposed to just green so just a nice little attention to details there we have a couple of refinements going on ipad os 14.5 so it brings a landscape boot screen so somebody reported that the ipad now you have a horizontal boot screen so showcasing the apple logo on the landscape side so it's automatically going to detect it instead of it just being portrait with the apple logo being reversed so that's a nice little neat chain and also you have emoji search on your ipad finally you know we had this feature on the initial release of ios 14 and it's finally on the ipad so you can search for your favorite emojis right here on your ipad so yes that's some of the new features going on on the ipad not really that much but unfortunately i need to update it i'm still trying to update my ipad right now as we speak but you pretty much
