A look at iOS 14 key features

• Widgets: iOS 14 comes with some extensive updates in widgets. These widgets on the home screen are reimagined to provide an enhanced experience to the users. Now you can select widgets of preferred sizes and arrange them the way you like.
• Picture-in-Picture: It is also known as PIP video mode, is now available for iPad OS. This mode enables users to multitask while enjoying a video. You can adjust the size of the video player in PIP mode. You can also push the video player to disappear from the screen to continue listening to the audio.
• Smarter Siri: In this new version of iOS, the Apple team has focused on making Siri way smarter. Now it processes more than 25 billion requests on a monthly basis. Siri can now send audio messages to others via iMessage.
• Compact design: It comes with a compact user interface that will enable phone-calls and face-calls to take less screen space, allowing you to multitask when attending a call. Even Siri takes minimal space now, letting you do other tasks while interacting with it.
• App Library: There is a brand new app library view that makes it simple to organize the apps. Declutter your home screen view by using this feature.
• App Clips: These are an innovative way for iOS users to access and promptly experience what an app has to offer to them. These are small, lightweight, fast, and empower the users to access them. It is an initiative of the Apple team to give a comprehensive experience to the users from an app’s specific parts for specific purposes.

iOS 14 – The most secure OS

In order to tackle privacy issues, Apple has innovated several new ways that offer enhanced security. Let’s have a look at their efforts in this direction:

• Notifications for the camera and mic access: The new version of this operating system now notifies the users in realtime whenever the mic and camera get accessed by any app. With this new feature, the company has taken the initiative to provide a list of recent apps that accessed the camera or mic.
• Allow/disallow the apps to connect to the devices on your local network: A few apps like smart TV or apps for other smart devices use your local network (Bluetooth) to discover nearby phone and connect to it. iOS 14 offers a much better way to notify and control those apps.
• Empowers you to provide access to the specific photo(s): Earlier versions of iOS offered only two options when an app needed access to the photos in your phone – allow or disallow. However, now Apple has come up with an advanced feature that allows you to provide access to one or more photos, and the remaining photos will be off-limits.
• Improved location access with proximate location option: Apple has come forward with this revolutionary feature of providing access to the proximate location to apps, instead of revealing your precise location. It is a useful option where some general apps need an idea regarding your location.
• Clipboard access notifications: With iOS 14, you will get notifications whenever any apps access the clipboard. It is a crucial step towards security, as the clipboard may save credentials for banking, cryptocurrency wallets, and other sensitive data.
• Notifications for compromised passwords: When it comes to privacy, iOS 14 has gone a step further with this feature. iOS now has access to the user passwords that are acknowledged as compromised. The user gets warned based on this list. Apple has stated the use of advanced and smart cryptography behind this technique. They also stated that this database of passwords is secure and doesn’t expose the user’s passwords to Apple.

Can you imagine a world without technology? A world without phones, computers, and the internet. Technology has brought not just the globe together but has a big hand in the growth of businesses. Imagine where communication is also tough without technology, then how difficult it will be to run a business and reach out to the world. Earlier, managing a business was a huge challenge. Looking after each aspect of the business all by yourself can create chaos. The biggest hurdle was to make the audience aware of your existence and gaining customers.

As technology evolved, the functioning of businesses changed dramatically. From handling projects, attracting customers, managing employees, and awaking the audience about your business is now all at your fingertips. Technology has shifted the workload from humans to the devices. It does not mean that it has replaced humans. Instead, it has brushed up their skills and acts as a helping hand in each business aspect.

What changes has technology brought

Communication with your customers

Your clients are an integral part of the business. Without them, there is no growth and success. Advancement in technology has made interaction with clients quick and precise. Email, messages, calls, newsletters, social media, there are several ways to communicate with them. You can send personalized messages and talk about your products and services and updates on them. 

Cutback in costs

Another advantage that technology has brought is a decrease in cost. Automation of tasks has not only sped up the work but also cut down various costs. The hardware and software crucial for business are affordable and easy to use. A back end inventory system that was costly and took lots of time now takes a couple of weeks. 

Improved functionality

Tasks that took hours to complete and had the chances for human error are now done in seconds with the least risk of mistakes that can be easily tracked. Employees are now able to work even outside the office walls. Business meetings over the internet, the ability to work from anywhere, and tracking down the business performance has completely changed the way companies perform.  

Brand awareness

What could be an easy way to promote your brand and reach out to people worldwide? Technology has a solution for everything. Take your brand to the globe just from your office. Reach out to your customers, attract more people, and improve the sales bar. Advertising, campaigning, blogs, and articles will make people about your company’s products and services.  

Accept technology and move ahead with it

Businesses that build a gap between their work and technology can face poor performance and low profitability. In today’s world, where almost everything is dependent on tech, keeping yourself updated and implementing that technology in your business is vital. It is not here to replace humans but to help them. Increased efficiency, knowledge, tracking goals and reports, and saving time and energy are a few benefits of accepting the technology.  

From hiring employees to checking their performance, getting insights into the business, managing customers, you name it, and technology does it all in the best possible way.
