What's going on, guys?
So, after 70 days, Apple has finally released iOS 14.5 to the public.
"It was actually 69 days".
Well, it was just an estimate!
I don't know if it's 68, 69... After 70 days.
- They don't really care how many days... - "You need to be accurate, stupid hater".
OK. Just... Fine.
Today I'm gonna be telling you everything
and the most important features
that you need to know about iOS 14.5.
It's actually a pretty big update,
so make sure you have a lot of storage on your iPhone,
but I think the weight, I think, the storage is all worth it,
because there's a lot of good stuff in this update.
Plus! New Apple Music features, which is awesome!
Let's get started with the star of the show:
You can finally unlock your iPhone with a mask on, while wearing your Apple Watch.
To do that, once you've updated to iOS 14.5,
you're gonna go into:
Settings.
Face ID.
And there, you'll simply turn that on.
It's awesome!
It's a feature like the iPhone 12 didn't have Touch ID,
which is something that I complained about on my iPhone 12 review,
but I think this is even better!
I don't think the iPhone needs Touch ID.
If you've got an Apple Watch, you simply swipe up and it just works.
It's unbelievably useful!
Siri now has 4 voices.
So, when you go into Settings, you can now choose 4.
This is only available, currently, in English,
but I love the new change.
Siri sounds way more natural now.
Let's talk about Apple Music now,
because iOS 14.5 brings us a couple new awesome and very useful features
that Apple Music desperately needed.
Starting off with Live Lyrics:
Yes. We've always had Live Lyrics,
but you can now send a specific lyric to somebody.
To do this, simply go to your Live Lyrics,
hold on a specific lyric that you actually want to send to somebody,
and you can actually select, not just one, but a couple of lyrics as well.
And you can send it to somebody.
So if you want to be romantic,
if you want to get that girl or that boy that you've always liked...
Send them a lyric and and you'll get the girl, I promise you.
You'll get the girl.
Or the boy, whatever you like!
Love is for everybody, am I right?
When you're inside of an album or a playlist now,
if you swipe left, you're gonna have 2 options:
You can play it next, or you can actually play it last.
So it's a very easy, intuitive way to play your music.
If you actually swipe to the right, you can add it to your Apple Music playlist,
or you can delete it from your library.
There's also improvements in the Made For You section.
There's 2 new playlists:
One, your Favorites Mix,
which is music that Apple thinks that you like.
Also, the Friends Mix,
so Apple will actually mix all the music that your friends are listening to,
with profile photos of your friends next to the album,
so you just get a feeling on what your friends are listening to.
It's pretty close, though.
This is one that a lot of people have been waiting for:
You can finally tell Siri your music service of choice.
Let's say you listen to Spotify.
You can now tell Siri: "Play music".
And Siri will play directly from Spotify.
This is one that a lot of people have been waiting for.
We got new emojis!
We got a new heart in a fire emoji.
We got a new, like, cloudy emojis.
We get a bunch of animals.
We get more hearts...
It's awesome! I love new emojis.
I love how Apple is always adding new emojis and I will always want emojis,
but I have one question:
Why do we still not have an iPad emoji?
Apple, please! I want a new iPad emoji.
Please . Please! I beg you.
The Podcast app has also had some changes in design.
Now it feels more like Apple is adopting the Apple Music design language,
and that's great, because I love the way that Apple Music looks, so...
If Apple Podcast can look the same as Apple Music, that'd be awesome.
And then, last, but definitely not least, is App Tracking.
Now, you'll have to accept or deny whether you want apps to track you to where you are.
With Privacy and Tracking, so I love that Apple's also doing this.
Apple cares about our privacy.
Apple cares about our security.
So those are the most important new features and changes inside of iOS 14.5.
Of course there's a lot more, but these are the main ones.
It's actually a pretty small, but very packed update.
I'm very pleased with it.
Install it now. Download it now.
My iPhone 12 Pro is running perfectly with it.
I haven't experienced any bugs.
Love it.
Thank you for watching!
Be happy! Because life is good!
And I'll see you in the next one!
Peace!
