hi everyone Aaron here for ZolloTech and I want to share with you the top 5 iPad
OS 14 features that you may not know and so the first one has to do with pointer
options if you're using a trackpad with your iPad so let me go ahead and connect
the magic keyboard now once you have a trackpad connected to your iPad go to
settings under settings scroll down to accessibility under accessibility you'll
see pointer control go to pointer control and we now have DoubleTap to
drag click on this and now we have without drag lock or with drag lock if I
turn it on with dragon says double tap an item then drag it without lifting
your finger after the second tab and so this is a nice feature it is a little
bit buggy but maybe we'll double tap this one we can drag it around put it
wherever we'd like and then lift my finger here and click once and we're
done so that's it again double tap to drag
keep holding after the second tap move it wherever you'd like click again it
locks into place and then swipe up and you're done
so it's a really simple way to use the trackpad that makes it much easier to
use and more Mac like now with iPad OS 14 the Apple pencil gets some updates
with scribble and I've shown that in another video but if you miss writing on
paper taking notes and need a little extra screen protection this is where
today's sponsor comes in paper like now as you can see on the left I have a
paper like screen protector installed so not only does it protect the screen but
it greatly reduces glare and finger prints I see far less fingerprints and
it's much easier to use in bright environments now the reason it's called
paper like is it feels like paper when you're writing on it it feels like it
and sounds like it so if I go into notes take a listen to this as I write
so it feels like paper and sounds like paper but it's also friendly to the tip
of the Apple pencil so it won't wear it down quickly if you'd like to try it out
for yourself check out paper like comm slashes Oh low-tech three and I'll link
it in the description below now within iPad OS there's also a feature that
applies to iOS and that has to do with privacy so if we go into settings then
we go to privacy then we go to photos under photos maybe I'll select an app
such as Twitter and under Twitter you'll see that it says allow photos access to
selected photos all photos or none so no longer is it just all photos or none now
it's selected photos as well so you can select an album put photos into that
album that you want it to specifically access if I go to selected photos you'll
see that I can select an album maybe I'll go into my favorites under my
favorites I have all of these specific photos maybe I'll select this one and
this one in this one in this one and that is the only four photos I want
Twitter to have access to once that's selected view selected hit done we're
good to go swipe it out of the way and now Twitter can only see those selected
photos if you want it on all photos just change it back so it's a nice little
security update if you want to keep things a little bit more private now
speaking of photos there's a new option in photos so if we go into photos and
select a photo make sure it's full screen then swipe up for more
information you'll see that it recognizes my bobblehead of Bob Ross
you'll see that we now have add caption maybe we'll just type Bob Ross and hit
done now we can search that caption if we want to so maybe we go over to our
bar on the Left will search for will search for Bob Ross its indexing and
once it's done it will work so you'll see it takes a while but you'll be able
to search for that and it works on iOS 14 as well now there's some new privacy
settings within Wi-Fi as well so if we go to Wi-Fi tap on your current Wi-Fi
that you're connected to and you've got the option for private mode under Wi-Fi
address so Wi-Fi address is your MAC address or
it's your hardware identifier to your wireless network if you want to keep
that private and hidden from everyone turn on use private address and now
that's private I've seen this implemented on other devices as well and
so this will keep everything hidden and you won't be able to identify a specific
device this could make it a little bit more difficult when trying to track
things down related to your device now Apple has redesigned Game Center in the
iPad and iPhone so if you go into your iPad App Store or iPhone app store tap
on your name at the upper right or your account scroll down a little bit and
you'll see game center tap on Game Center now you'll see Game Center now
has not only your name but it has friends people you've recently played
with friends suggestions if you want to invite them you can achievements by game
privacy policy nearby players and then you could sign out so achievements by
game you can go into your games anyone that you've played maybe Canabalt it's
an old one and you'll see there's some achievements there so we can use this to
view all of our achievements and everything else and so this was added it
seems like after they updated iPad and iOS it kind of showed up a little bit
later now something I showed with iOS 14
hidden features that you may not know is shortcuts and I wanted to show this to
you because I think it's pretty significant and it applies to the iPad
as well so if we go to shortcuts here in shortcuts we can create an automation
and under create personal automation you can create one based on your battery
level or charger so for example because the iPad doesn't seem to have battery
health monitoring and those sorts of things we can have a reminder to charge
it when maybe we fall below 20% so we just slide it down falls below 20% next
add an action we can add an alarm we'll do create an alarm and create time
immediately will repeat never so we'll have it make an alarm right away that
creates an alarm and triggers the alarm right away when it falls below 20
percent and then you can have it not ask before running and if you hit 20 percent
you'll know that you need to charge it now I don't necessarily recommend
charging every time you fall below 20 percent sometimes I wait til 10 percent
sometimes it's lower than that sometimes it's higher than that whenever I have a
charger available but there is a feature that I like to use with automation as
well that allows me to change it based on when it's plugged in so if I create a
personal automation scroll down again this time I'm going to select charger
let's tap on charger and when the charger is connected I want to run an
automation or a shortcut so we'll hit next
and then we'll add an action then I'm going to search for Do Not Disturb there
we go tap on Do Not Disturb and we want Do Not Disturb to turn on when it's
plugged in we'll hit next and I don't want it to ask before running I just
want it to be automatic we'll turn this off don't ask it done and then we'll go
home now when I plug in the iPad it should automatically turn on Do Not
Disturb so it's plugged in it ran the automation
scroll down Do Not Disturb is now on if I unplug it it should stay on until I
turn it off based on the automation I created so it's super convenient I think
it's super helpful that these are built-in and of course you can do all
sorts of things based on the battery level you can even turn on low power
mode so if you want to plug it in have it turn on low power mode or when the
battery falls below 20% if we go back we can go here falls below
let's do and set low power mode we can add low power mode on the iPad although
it's not an option elsewhere so when the battery runs below 20% turn it on low
power mode so turn it on it runs and it runs immediately and now it's in low
power mode even though you can't see it so it's nice that it's there it's a nice
little option to have now finally one thing I keep getting asked quite a bit
is will 4k video be coming to the iPad and it looks like Apple is going to
support the vp9 codec that Google is using now I don't have a hundred percent
confirmation on this but on the iPad I don't currently show that it's working
it is working on iPhone though so this is my Apple watch series for review in
HDR and you'll see that the options just not there now on the iPhone it is there
so if we go on the iPhone you'll see I have 2160p HDR so that means that the
iPhone and iPad are capable of supporting it but they don't yet support
it so hopefully they'll fully support 4k in the future although you can't see 4k
on these displays so I would at least like a little bump to 1440p for example
and of course that HDR viewing is really welcome so we'll see with future
versions when they come out what we'll have but it seems like Apple will
support it if it can play the HDR footage those are the top five iPad OS
features you may not know of course all the hidden ones on iOS apply to iPad OS
as well now let me know what you think of paper-like in the description below
I'll link them like I said before and also I'll be keeping the screen
protector on this iPad because I really like how matte it is so I'll be using
this one as well so let me know what you think of them also if you found any
features you haven't seen anywhere else please let me know in the comments below
so we can not only check those out but also help others out if you'd like to
get your hands on this wallpaper of course I'll link it in the description
