Apple today released the fifth beta of iOS 14 and more for developers publishedFunctions have been updated and improved.
Apple currently updates the preview of the new operating systems every two weeks. The further the whole thing progresses, the less innovations are being implemented. But even today, some changes and improvements have been made.
Apple News Widget – The Apple News widget has a new option for a larger view. However, the size of the widget prevents you from freely choosing where you want it to be, so it can only be used on the home screen.
widget privacy - For apps that use location, there is now a pop-up asking users if they want to allow widgets for those apps to also use location data. Widgets can use location data for up to 15 minutes when enabled. In addition, widgets will now be mentioned in the location services privacy settings for apps.
widgets – The weather widget has been fixed again and is updated at more reasonable intervals.
alarm clock, motion notifications and more
Alarm clock – When setting an alarm in the Clock app, users can usually swipe through the alarm wheel with one finger. Unlike in iOS 13.6, this appears much smaller in iOS 14.
movement notifications – The Motion Alerts interface has changed in the fifth beta of iOS 14. When users tap "Enable Motion Alerts," they'll see an option to select a country, region, or state. Users will then be informed if there's a corresponding Motion Alerts app.
HomeKit Control Center – HomeKit Favorites in Control Center now feature smaller tiles and smarter organization, providing one-tap access to more shortcuts.
Hidden photo albums – In Settings, users can now disable the hidden album in the Photos app. To do so, open iOS Settings, scroll down to Photos, and look for "Hidden Album."
