iOS 14.5 is just around the corner, a new operating system from the Cupertino company that will definitely refine iOS 14 and lay the foundations for the future of the iPhone and iPad without a doubt. However, with each new update Apple gives you, but also takes away from you.
We are going to analyze what the definitive arrival of iOS 14.5 that is just around the corner will mean for the user and what are all those news that we should be prepared for. Your iPhone will run the latest and safest version of iOS but… are they all advantages?
When will iOS 14.5 arrive on our iPhone?
The big question, what we do know is that Apple will launch this operating system at 19: 00 hours (Spain), but we are not so clear on the exact launch day, this is due to the fact that there are a series of "betas" that are test versions of the operating system and that are still in that procedure at the moment.
For its part, everything indicates that before the end of April we will have the download and installation of iOS 14.5 available on our iPhone, if you want to make sure just go to Settings> General> Software update and you can check the status of iOS and its latest version.
What's new in iOS 14.5 that you should know
You can finally unlock your iPhone with a mask
The arrival of the mask to our daily life it has made it difficult to combine it with FaceID. Apple wanted to go one step ahead allowing the identification of people through their face, however, recently this has caused a terrible dysfunction since Face ID will not interpret your face if you are wearing a mask.
Apple has looked for a solution, at least for those people who in addition to an iPhone have an Apple Watch. The arrival of iOS 14.5 will also bring an update to the Apple Watch that will allow us to unlock our iPhone easily as long as we have our Apple Watch unlocked nothing more than making the necessary gestures. In addition, the Apple Watch will issue a notification in this regard in case we want to block unauthorized access to our iPhone.
This has served Apple well to garner good complaints, not a few users have considered that an under-screen fingerprint reader was something to be expected in a terminal of the highest range. Meanwhile, users without a compatible Apple Watch will stay as they were.
Limit tracking by apps
Apple will continue to bet a lot on privacy, has decided to call him Transparency Tracking App and consists of a system that will allow us to limit the way in which applications access the advertising identifier of our device. Once we have authorized it, we can always revoke said update through Settings> Privacy> Tracking if we wish so.
In this way we can continue to consider the iPhone as one of the safest terminals on the market, something that is always to be applauded.
Compatibility with new game controllers
The launch of PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X It is being a real madness, we are not referring to the achievements, but precisely to the scarce stock that is causing the anger of a good handful of fans of both brands.
This novelty comes slowly, but it is never too late if the happiness is good. With iOS 14.5 the controllers of Xbox and PlayStation 5 (DualSense) can be operated de definitive form. The Bluetooth functionality of the iPhone and iPad is currently limited, an incomprehensible fact since these controls have no problem running with other types of devices from brands beyond those of Cupertino. In addition, we will be able to customize the actions carried out by the remote.
Search for Emojis and horizontal boot on iPad
iPadOS is still a vitamin version of iOS. However, Apple continues to improve on it certain aspects that seem sloppy more than anything else. In this case, the iPad is a device that invites to be used horizontally, as with the screen of Macs. Several years after its launch, Apple has decided that it is a good time to turn the block.
Now if we turn on our iPad in landscape format, the apple will go in the correct direction so that it appears to be positioned naturally. Likewise, iPadOS will inherit in its version 14.5 also the Emoji search engine that is currently integrated into iOS.
New Emoji and various functionalities
Apple continues to integrate iOS news about Emojis. Honestly, it is becoming almost impossible to locate the Emoji we are looking for, however, now a reference to the AirPods Max will appear and an increase in variety in terms of the so common inclusive emojis.
- Mobile charging mode that will optimize the battery with external batteries
- New predefined shortcuts
- DualSIM mode also with 5G connectivity (until now there was only one line with 5G)
- Hardware mute the iPad microphones when we lock the screen
