hi everyone aaron here for Xollotech and ios 14 beta 3 has been out for a couple
of days and in the first video right after it came
out i normally do a video and i covered all of the major changes
but since then there has been a lot of other changes
discovered by not only myself but some of you that mentioned it in twitter or
sent me a message and in future videos i'll highlight who
sent them to me so i appreciate everyone sending them in
but there's some new features i want to share with you now look for the normal
follow-up tomorrow or it could already be out by the time you're watching this
but i normally release follow-ups of the betas or regular versions on sunday so
that you can see how it is for you and whether or not you should actually
install it now let's take a look at the features i never mentioned in the first
video that have been discovered since and so the first thing has to do with
widgets so if we slide over here you'll see that i have the tips widget
and this wasn't working previously for quite a few people so it may not have
even shown up or it may not work now it's working i
already talked about the music widget i know some people are having a bug
where the weather widget isn't showing up
it's working fine for me but there is an additional update to one of the widgets
so if we press and hold add a widget and
then we go to the smart stack under smart stack we now have a larger
size so compared to ios 14 beta 2 that i have
running on my iphone 10r let's take a look you'll see we only
have two options so right now there's only two
options and as of now on beta 3 we have three
options so it's nice that they've added that
now on older phones apple has updated back tap now
older phones really means just one more phone
so the setting that allows you to tap the back of the phone
to actually create an action on your phone such as turn on the flashlight
is on all of the phones with face id so if we go to accessibility and then you
go to touch scroll down you now have back tap
now many of us know about this feature but it was added to iphone 8 and 8 plus
unfortunately it does not yet seem to be on older phones
this is an iphone 7 in jet black it's a nice
version that they released that's not glass it's aluminum but it's a very
shiny back covering or or anodization so if we go
into settings we'll go to accessibility go to touch
and scroll down you'll see that it's not there so maybe they'll add it in future
versions maybe not it's hard to say but if you
have an 8 or 8 plus you should now have that option now there's a couple new
features to music that i didn't mention in the first video
one of them i actually had written down and forgot to mention but if we go into
music and you'll see this is just a song i had
playing we tap on the three dots here tap on share
then we scroll over in our apps we actually have the option to share with
snapchat now so we can share with a snapchat story
it will create a story and then allow us to open it in snapchat
and share it so you'll have that option to do that now if you want to
so it's a nice little update it's not a huge deal but it is something new
now a nice little easter egg or or additional hidden feature
is tapping on search twice so if you tap on search it brings up
your search dialog tap on it again though it will bring up your keyboard
and allow you to type this previously did not work so
on beta 2 if you did the same thing we can tap
keep tapping search it doesn't do anything so on
beta 3 it will just bring up search it's a nice little hidden feature or way to
get into that which is really nice and then one other thing is when you're
playing a song so maybe we'll go back to this one
we'll go back to this song and you'll see i'm halfway through the song or a
little bit more than that if i close the app
and then go back into it it resumes where i left off
this feature wasn't there previously it's nice to have this
and i'm glad that they've brought this over so it's really nice to see it
now there's a feature that they've actually removed from the ipad i talked
about one that they've removed as far as the
weather widget but they've removed low power mode
using siri so we can do that and try it out here
turn on low power mode
and you'll see it says low power mode isn't available on this ipad
now previously it was i don't know that you really need low power mode but it's
a nice feature to have you don't really need it on an ipad per
se since you're usually near say an outlet you can just plug it in
but it's nice if you need to preserve battery and you were doing something
important on the go so i'd like to see them bring that back
now many people were saying they're seeing 4k youtube videos on their device
with this update now i'm not seeing that every one of my videos is actually in 4k
so if i play one of my videos here we'll just play this one
and you'll see that i don't have the option yet some people are seeing that
option but every one of my videos for the past
few years has been in 4k i've tried other people's channels as well
i only see it with hdr videos at this time on this device
but people are even seeing it on the 10r so hopefully you're seeing that
although really 1080p is about as good as you really should be watching on a
screen of this size i would love to see 4k or at least 1440p on the ipad
i'm not seeing that yet but it is capable of that now within ios 14 beta 3
there's apparently some graphics or images that are confirming the 5.4 inch
iphone 12. now i've shown you the mock-up or the
prototype of it that's non-working to give you an idea of size
but apparently we will have a 5.4 inch iphone 12
so based on the images and the graphics within the beta
it seems like this is confirmed images have been resized to fit
a screen of this size so it'd be really nice to see that i know a lot of people
want a smaller phone so this would be nice to sort of replace
the new se once it comes out now within apple news
some people are seeing a splash screen for the new audio story so if we go into
news you'll see that it pops up we'll wait
for it to load it will take just a moment here
on the se and you'll see it says news plus hundreds of magazines
and this is sort of one we've seen before and down here we have news plus
and following but what's interesting i'm not seeing anything about the audio
stories that they announced or launched with ios 13.6 so i don't see
any of that in here but apparently some people are seeing
that splash screen i'm not seeing it at all in fact i don't
even have an audio section on my news in any of these devices maybe it will only
show up now if you have apple news plus but right now since i don't maybe that's
why it's not showing up it's not on this device either so you'll see i
have no option for audio on my 11 pro max either
now there's a feature i can't really show you because i don't have verizon
but if you have verizon and you go into settings then you go down to
where your phone is under phone you'll see down at the bottom you have silence
unknown callers blocked contacts if you have
verizon as your carrier you'll actually have a different area here that says
call blocking and identification if you go into that it will say silence
junk collars this appears to only be on verizon though
i have t-mobile on this phone and i've tried other phones i don't see it
unless you have verizon and i've seen articles saying the same thing so
if you don't have verizon and you're seeing that let me know in the comments
below now within podcasts they've actually removed a couple of options
which is kind of interesting so if we slide over here
and go to our notifications within the podcast app and scroll down to the
bottom they've actually removed a couple of
options they've removed recommendations and new features
why they've done this i'm not sure maybe they're going to put it somewhere else
but if we take a look at beta 2 here on the left
go into notifications scroll down you'll see that we have them
so we have recommendations and new features for notifications
they've eliminated them from beta 3. maybe they'll put them back in a future
version now if we go into photos there's a slight change to the photos
when you press and hold on them if you press and hold on a photo this is
the photo i took for the thumbnail of this video
there's a new select option but it doesn't really do anything so you can
select with the button in the upper right of course and just tap on multiple
pictures here but you can't really press and hold and hit select so maybe that's
the future way of doing this i'm not sure but it's
not there in previous versions so it's kind of odd that they've added that but
we'll see what that has to do with maybe in beta 4.
now also there's other new icons all throughout so there's slight changes on
different things now apple changes the icons throughout the beta process so
there will be changes for probably the next month or so
while they refine things so this time we got the new music icon
before we had the old one then we may see something different and one thing
they've changed is an animation in shortcuts so let's go into shortcuts
now if we go to the shazam option under starter shortcuts we'll
press and hold on it it says shazam would like to access your
microphone we'll say okay and you'll see that the animation is a
little bit different now and if if we let this continue and it
doesn't find anything it will let us know that it doesn't find
anything with a new notification so it says at the top i don't recognize
this song before it would just give you a little pop-up box in the middle
so that's something a little bit new now again this could change before it's
finally released so we'll look and see if they do that but
right now it's what it will be at least as far as we know with this
version going forward now ios 14 beta 3 has a few other changes to icons
and things but in beta 2 there's a couple things i
wanted to mention that carried over to beta 3 that i didn't cover and i didn't
see others cover as well so i thought i'd share them with
you so the first one is if we go to settings and then we go
to privacy under privacy we have location services
and tracking and we've seen this before go to location services scroll all the
way down to system services and you have exposure
notifications this is on by default now so if it's
something you care about you can turn it off
or you can leave it on it's up to you but it's on by default and before with
13.6 it was off by default so they've changed
this and i just wanted to let you know if you wanted to leave that off or
whatever you wanted to do with it also in here there's a new feature for
your sim card which i think is really helpful
so if we go to general under our settings and then about if we scroll
down to the wi-fi section you'll see it says carrier lock now
carrier lock lets us know if our phone is locked to a specific carrier so
right now my phone is not locked i have an unlocked iphone
and if your phone is unlocked it will say no sim restrictions if it's locked
it will say locked to t-mobile or something along
those lines or locked to a t for example so depending on who your
carrier is you should see that there so it's a nice little way to know that the
phone is locked or if you unlocked it that it has been
unlocked now that is all the different changes that i didn't mention
in the first video of course there's small changes throughout
and some people are very concerned that they removed 3d touch
however that's a known issue that means apple's going to bring it back
so what they've said is they've removed 3d touch from 3d touch devices
temporarily that it's disabled so they didn't purposely remove it maybe there's
some bug there you can use haptic touch that usually
means they'll bring it back so i wouldn't get too upset about that that
just means that it's a known issue they've listed it specifically to let
you know so you can use haptic touch still on say
an iphone 6s or 7 for example and it will work but
just keep in mind that hopefully they'll bring that back
and if they do i'll let you know in a future video
and that's it for this particular update if you found anything else significant
let me know in the comments below and also if you'd like to get your hands
