Apple has released the fifth public Beta for the future iOS 14 and Ipados 14.
Compared to the previous update, this version brings some news and solves some inconveniences from the previous versions of iOS 14 and iPadOS 14.
Time selection at "Alarm" with scroll wheel (slide up-down)
Those who test iOS 14 and are addicted to the alarm found that setting the time became extreme sports with the new system from the previous beta versions. Fortunately, Apple is back, and in iOS 14 Public Beta 5, setting the time to “Alarm” can also be done by swiping up and down, not just by entering the time using the numeric keys.
Tall widget for Apple News
A new widget style is added (Tall) for Apple News, exclusively for the screen "Today". This is as tall as the entire size of the screen and allows the display of seven titles, of which the first two are "Top Stories"and the last one"Best of Apple News+“.
Disable "Hidden Album" in the Photos application
Many users requested that Apple introduce the possibility of creating a photo album in which you can hide photos from the photo gallery. The Photos application has an option from previous versions, through which users can choose to hide photos, but they are available in a visible album, called "Hidden“.
I didn't really understand what this option would help since the album "Hidden” is very visible both in the Photos application on the iPhone or iPad.
In iOS 14 Public Beta 5, users are offered an option through which I can hide the album “Hidden” din application Photos. The hidden photos remain available in the photo selector, and the album is available in the Photos application under "Other Albums", if the option "Hidden Album" is active. So, there is still a long way to go until iPhone or iPad owners will have a password-protected album and / or FaceID in the Photos application. It is still a step.
Availability alerts for exposure notifications to COVID-19 (Exposure Notifications)
There are regions where the notification system for exposure to COVID-19 is unavailable. Starting with this Beta version, Apple introduced the availability notifications “Covid-19 Exposure Alerts”. So if you are in a region where the system is available, you will immediately receive a notification.
The beta version 5 of iOS 14 is quite consistent, and for installation you need at least 3-4 GB free on your iPhone. The size of the update is between approximately 1.5 GB and 4 GB, depending on the user.
