Hands-on with 50+ new iOS 14 beta 2 changes and features [Video] – 9to5Mac

Yesterdays release of iOS 14 beta 2 isnt as packed with features as past beta 2 follow-ups to major iOS releases, but it is filled to the brim with subtle improvements and modifications. See our hands-on video walkthrough as we step through over 50 new changes and functions in iOS 14 beta 2.

New Picture in Picture function

There are a few standout features in iOS 14.2 beta 2, including a new medium size adjustment for Picture in Picture videos when carrying out a double tap gesture. In the previous iOS 14 beta, a double tap on the Picture in Picture video would just toggle in between a little and big window.

New Files Widget

Youll find a brand name new Files app widget in iOS 14 beta 2, which allows you to quickly access recent files. The Files widget is offered in both medium and large sizes, and will directly open noted files within.

App Library information

The phrasing surrounding removing apps from the Home screen wasnt very clear in the initial iOS 14 beta, however beta 2 changes a few of the wording to help clarify things. When getting rid of an app from the Home screen, the former Add to Library text has been changed to Remove from Home screen, which more properly explains the action happening.

Music app haptic feedback

There are just a few of the brand-new changes and features included in iOS 14 designer beta 2. Enjoy our hands-on video below for a complete walkthrough, and make certain to examine out the complete list of modifications and functions below.

The transportation controls in the Music app now insert subtle haptic feedback when the play/pause, avoid, and back buttons are used. Theres also haptic feedback that happens when sliding the playhead in the Music app live Lyrics see.
