Hi everyone Aaron here for zollotech and ios 14 beta 8 has been out to developers
and ios 14 public beta 8 has been out for a
couple days as well and i want to talk about more new
features that were found in this particular update not that i just found
but some of you as well now also i want to talk about ios 14 gm
and when to expect ios 14 the public version as well as what to
expect at the event on tuesday whether that be iphone
12 or more so i'll cover that toward the end of the video
now the first new feature is finally here it's something we were promised
from the beginning and that is default browsers so you can
change your default browser by going to settings and maybe you want to use
chrome for example as long as the app maker has updated
their app you can do this so if you go to chrome
for example you'll see we now said we now have a default browser app
and so it says safari we can change it to chrome so it's up to you what you
want to use now keep in mind default browsers on ios
are basically reskinned versions of safari
apple only allows webkit which is their browser for security reasons so
chrome is just a reskinned version of safari basically same with firefox and
the others now they may change this in the future
but that's currently how it's set up also we should see this come out to
email clients soon as well so if we go down to gmail for example
you'll see there's sort of a setting here that's not there so
it looks like they're going to update this soon and we should be able to see
it i tried different email apps from spike
to spark to outlook and none of them are there so
and hey you'll see here all of these different email apps i tried them out
and none of them have default settings set up yet for that so hopefully we'll
see that pretty soon you'll see here's outlook it's just not
there so they need to update their app to allow that
and then we'll see it now in the contact app there's something
very minor that's new but let's go into that now if we go into contacts on both
phones on my iphone 10r on my left here i have ios 14 beta 7
and i have ios 14 beta 8 on the 11 pro max
and as you can see on the right right here where the
phone is or the the actual phone icon it says call
on beta 7 it says work so they've changed it it's not a big change but
work and then call now the first time you open this it will actually say work
on beta 8 and then it will switch to call
so it's a small update it's very minor but someone noticed that so i thought
that was pretty interesting so if i close it out
go back in and you'll see now it says work and then it switched to call it's
very fast and it's just something that's new
not anything really incredible but something that's different now you can
use shortcuts with bedtime and there's some interesting options
here so if we go into shortcuts and then maybe i want to scroll down let
me find maybe turn bluetooth off when i go to bed i want to use that shortcut
we can go to our shortcut options go to our options here
and you'll see it says show in sleep mode this is not here
on ios 14 beta 7. you'll see on beta 7 it's not there so you'll see it says
show in sleep mode and then what we can do is on our ios 14
beta 8 device we'll turn it into sleep mode by tapping
the little bed here go to the lock screen turn it back on
and you'll see that we actually have shortcuts
tap on the shortcuts and now we have the option to turn bluetooth
off when it's there so we just press and hold that the seal shared this with me
one of the viewers of this channel so i really
appreciate that and so he helped me out found that i thought it was really great
you can actually use it with everything from wi-fi to all your other
shortcuts as well it's sort of there if you have multiple
devices you enable it on one it will kind of carry over to your other device
so it will show up over here now on beta 7. so if i go here you'll see i'm
already in sleep mode turn the screen off turn it back on go
to shortcuts you'll see it's there so it's in the code it's just not
physically there in the shortcuts app so they changed it a little bit
so it works properly on the beta 8 devices so it's kind of neat that it's
there now another new thing is maybe we
connect our airpods or you connect powerbeats pro to your phone
you'll see all of a sudden your airplay icon will
start to blink it doesn't do this in beta 7. so you'll
see it's just blinking there it just stays solid
in beta 7. so it's a small physical change but i thought it was kind of nice
looking and so it's there now you may have
noticed if you watched my previous video on what was new with beta 8
that going into jiggle mode for example so maybe we'll just go into jiggle mode
here we'll hold settings and when i canceled that
before i had to press done now i can just swipe up a reboot
actually fixed that in fact when i opened an app it would slide in from the
right it was kind of a weird animation going on
it's almost like your animations were turned off and you had to physically
press buttons a reboot actually solved that problem so
i'm not sure what that was possibly a bug and so it's not happening
anymore but it was when i first installed
beta 8. now also as far as new features this is very minor but if you have a
phone with multiple lenses maybe you switch to the second one and
you drag the haptic feedback is a little bit different here
it still had it before if you did this but previously
the haptic feedback when scrolling through the wheel changing focal
distances was actually a little bit different so they've updated that maybe
made it a little less prominent so you feel it a little bit less but it
is something that has been updated it seems now under
widgets i noticed something with the news widget so
if i scroll down you'll see that i have the huge news widget still on the 11 pro
max there's an interesting behavior i've
noticed so let's go ahead and try and add another one so if i go into
news here we'll go down to news for example
and then scroll over you'll see that i don't have the large news widget
however if i go back and then i delete the large news widget
then i go to add it again
under news you'll see that it's returned so
if i add it it disappears from being able to add a second one that's a
behavior i noticed it's a little bit new now finally a feature that was
promised with ios 14 when they first announced it
is finally here if you use apple carplay and what that is is thanks to matthew
mccarthy for pointing this out but if you're using apple carplay and
you use the home screen you can now use google maps with it instead of apple
maps so as you can see here this is what it looks like
and it doesn't currently work with waze but it works with apple maps and google
maps so if you have that you can have it on the
home screen previously you actually could only open it full screen you
couldn't just have it on the home screen also
now this may have been here in previous betas but no one seemed to point it out
so if it's been there before let me know in
the comments below but it seems to be new in beta 8. so let me know what you
think of it if you're using it already i'd love to hear from you now there's a
couple things i get asked regularly can we still have a blank home
page and yes actually you can so on the iphone 11 i'll just demonstrate how you
do this so press and hold on an app maybe the
camera go into jiggle mode keep holding move
the app slightly and then just tap all of your different apps so i guess
we'll just carry these all across here and then this will just bring all these
in with us so i'll keep tapping here
once you have all of your apps drag them to the next screen
maybe put them down here now let's drag them over here
so we'll put them on this screen and now we have a blank home page swipe up
and it locks it in so now you can have a blank home screen if you want to you
still can in previous betas it didn't work now
it's working again so if you want to enjoy the wallpaper you can do that now
now i wanted to clear one thing up as far as a feature that's in ios 14 and
that is the translate feature within safari so maybe you're on a web page
that's not in your native language and you want to be able to read it well
you tap on the double a's here translate to your language or translate
to english in my case and it translates the web page
and it works really well now if you're not seeing this this seems to be only
available in the united states so as long as you're in the united states
it should work it may work in other places as well but the person i was
talking to that wasn't seeing it was in the uk
so i just wanted to clarify that if you're not seeing that hopefully they
roll that out in the future by the time it's released but at least
in the beta it's only working it seems like in the united states let me know if
it's working for you though in the comments below
now we're still waiting for spatial audio i get asked when is spatial audio
coming is it working while the setting is still there
currently it doesn't seem to be working so we're waiting for apple to update it
and maybe we'll see that update with ios 14 gm and with gm
i would expect it after the event on tuesday so if we go into the calendar
here on tuesday we have that apple event on
the 15th and that's at 1 pm eastern time and so after
that we should see ios 14 gm i would also expect them to announce the
final release date of ios 14 that day which i would expect
probably on the week of the 20th i've said this before it could be later but i
would expect it then and who knows what apple will do maybe
they'll roll it out then it could be later but usually that's how
they do it so expect them to roll out ios 14 gm on the
15th and then a final version the following
week that's usually how apple does it so as far as that goes then we'll see
spatial audio maybe we'll see an airpods firmware update
and at that apple event originally many people were saying we won't see an
iphone 12 launch however on the youtube channel from apple they've actually
started deleting iphone 11 videos and i don't think they would do that unless
they were going to show iphone 12. so maybe some of the sources are wrong
this time those who normally have pretty reliable
sources of course we'll have to wait and see but in the past we've seen new
iphones we've seen new apple watches along with
the next version and maybe lower prices for the older ones are replacements as
well as new ipads so it's a two-hour long event maybe we'll
see it i really hope we see iphones as it would be nice to see it right away
but let me know what you think will happen in the comments below
now of course if you'd like to get your hands on this wallpaper i'll link it in
the description like i normally do and if you haven't subscribed already
please subscribe and if you enjoyed the video please give it a like
as always thanks for watching this is Aaron i'll see you next time
you
