About the iOS 14
So, that's built into iOS 14 now thenext feature you may have heard of because it's gotten a lot of press butit's called back tap and what it does is it allows you to set an action based onyou tapping the back of your phone two or three times so for example I've setthat up for the flashlight as an example you'll see what it does is if I tap ittwice it turns on the flashlight if I tap it three times it will turn off theflashlight now this can be assigned to many different things by going intosettings then you want to go to accessibility then you want to go totouch and then scroll down until you get to back tap tap on back tap and then youcan set it for whatever you'd like now I created a shortcut called flashlight butthese are all of the default options so you can have it take a screenshot go toNotification Center turn your volume up or down and then you've gotaccessibility options as well and then scroll gestures and also shortcuts soyou can set it to any one of your shortcuts that you might have so if youcreate a shortcut you can assign it and then you'll have that option you canchange it to whatever you'd like so it's super customizable now a feature that'sbeen on newer iPhones but not on older iPhones for a while is the ability tochange your frame rate within the camera.
So you can change resolution and framerate in iOS 14. so if we go to video you'll see in the upper left we have 4k 30 if I want to change that I can just tap on it and this is not incredible it is somethingnew that wasn't there before with older phones so you can just gointo your camera settings down here we'll go into camera in camera we canselect our frame rate option here and then cycle through them so maybe youwant 4k 60 we go back and now we can cycle through 4k 24 30 and 60 frames persecond so it's super nice that they finally brought it to older devices soI'm glad to see they've done that now iOS 14 I want a smaller one this time we'll bringthis over here but maybe I want a smart stack of my own let me add another maybeI want podcasts so let me select this one and we've got podcasts and then whatI can do is drag it on top of the other one and create my own smart stack now itwill change throughout the day if we press and hold on it we can edit thestack and you'll see we have smart rotate so we can edit this with whateverwe'd like and it rotates throughout the day so it's super nice and useful I'vebeen using it for a couple days like this and I find it very helpful so it'ssomething that I really appreciate and as more developers add widgets.
When We get closer to the iOS 14 release date in the fall it'll be really great to seewhat we can do with this now there's a new feature in messages that I haven'tseen many people mentioned so if we go into messages you can create pins andthings like that but if you notice at the upper left there's something calledfilters if we tap on filters you'll see that it's automatically filtered ourmessages and SMS as well into all messages known senders and unknownsenders so if you just want to go to all messages you'll have your normal screenknown senders or people in your contacts list and unknown senders are people thatyou don't know or maybe pass codes that have been sent to you from numbersyou're not familiar with so it's nice to see them Auto sorting all of ourmessages there's a new accessibility option in iOS 14 that I think could behelpful to everyone in general but it's designed for those who arehearing-impaired so if we go to settings and then we scroll down to where it saysaccessibility scroll down a little bit further down to hearing you'll see thatit says sound recognition if we go into sound recognition you'll see that we canturn that on and then select a sound and so the iPhone will listen to any one ofthese sounds that you have turned on and notify you when it hears those so forexample you'll see I have it turned to doorbell and if I play a doorbell itshould actually pick up and let us know now I tried it with this phone it didn'treally show me anything but it should recognize that and then notify you whenit hears a doorbell it might recognize that it's coming from a phone nearby butI'll show you what it looks like as I took a snapshot of it and it saysdoorbell a sound has been recognized that maybe a doorbell so anytime itrecognizes that it thinks it heard a doorbell or any one of the othersettings that you have turned on.
It will let you know now we're deep in menus of iOS 14 in the settings and so if you want to see where you're at or just want togo back quickly you can press and hold back now and you'll see us as soundrecognition accessibility in settings in that order if we tap on settings itbrings us right back to the main settings page so that's another newhelpful feature now with in iOS 14 there's a new app library where itautomatically organizes the apps that you don't want on your home screens andyou'll see that it has recently added and productivity and everything elsethat you don't see on my home screens now maybe you have an app on a page likethis one the new Translate app but you don't want it here but you want to inthe app list press and hold and instead of removing the app tap on remove itsays delete translate you can either delete it or add to library I'll add itto the library the page disappears and now it's in the library so it's superuseful it's a way to organize things quickly get rid of apps that you don'twant on your home screen or anywhere else but put them in an organized fashion.
Somewhere else now with in iOS 14 there's some new options forcuts that are really helpful if you're charging or on low-power mode in theirautomatic so if you go to automation in shortcuts and create a personalautomation and then scroll down you'll see we have some new options forlow-power mode battery level or charger will selectcharger and then when the charger is connected or disconnected you can createones for each tap on next add an action maybe we'll have it turn on do notdisturb you'll see set do not disturb will have it turned on when it's pluggedin and maybe we'll turn it off later but we'll just hit next hit done and let'stry it out so now we've got a personal automation will turn off Do Not Disturbwill plug in the phone and as soon as it's plugged in it turns on Do NotDisturb so it's a super convenient way to automate whatever you'd like you canhave it adjust the brightness when you're in low power mode anything you'dlike so that's built in and there's some more automations that I think will bereally helpful so if you want to put it in airplane mode when you're chargingmaybe to speed some of that up a little bit you'll be able to do that now Applehas added a new option when it comes to taking selfies so for those of you thattake selfies you'll know that iPhones don't mirror the front camera so we'lljust take a quick selfie and I'll hold up an iPhone for reference and thenwe'll go into settings and you'll see that there's a new setting in the camerahere that says mirror front camera so if we turn that on and then we go back tothe camera and then we hold up the iPhone again and then we go to ourphotos you'll see here's a selfie I'll go back and you'll see they're flippedso if you want to mirror the front selfie camera you can when you take aselfie so they've added that option now the final feature.
I want to share withyou that behaves a little bit differently with iOS 14 is capturingoutside the frame in the camera in previous versions of iOS even if youwere zoomed in it would capture outside and make it difficult for compositionand framing so if you go into settings and then you go down to camera undercamera you'll see it says view outside frame now we had options to turn thisoff but it didn't really work the same way with previous versions of iOS so forexample if I go to the camera and then maybe I put the 10r in the frame herezoom in you'll see it doesn't go past what we're looking at so it stays withinwithin here we're not capturing anything outside and it makes it easier tocompose our shot if I switch over to an iPhone runningiOS 13.5 point one you'll see I'm zoomed in and it's showing past where it'sactually going to capture so if i zoom out zoom back in it will still capturethat way even when the feature is turned off so you'll see it says photos captureoutside the frame videos capture outside the frame when these are turned offunder composition it still doesn't turn off that sort ofannoying outside the frame it's a nice effect but it makes it difficult to puteverything where you want it so I'm glad to see that they've actually changedthis with iOS 14 so no longer do we have to try and compose our shot well zoomedin now if you like that feature turn it back on we'll go back to camera herezoom in and now it's outside the frame so if you want to keep it on you can butyou now can turn it off and it makes it much easier to frame your video or photos so those are 10 hidden features within iOS 14 that you may not know.
