At the next WWDC, which will be rolled out by Apple in June, we will see the next versions of all the apps appear. Apple will introduce iOS 14, iPadOS 14, watchOS 7, macOS 10.16 and tvOS 14. As of this year we will see news in all programs, many of which have already come from other rumors and some will, from everyone. From Applesfera we compile a list of issues we would like to see in the WWDC.
Siri offline
Currently, when we call our assistant, the audio stream is sent, encrypted and without copyright, to Apple. Why? Because text conversion is done there and the text returns to our device when Siri uses it to do it correctly. This process, of course, means that Internet connection is required to use Siri.
If Apple succeeds in converting the text in a text to our device, this can be donethey can allow using Siri in offline mode, that is, without an internet connection. The benefits will be mainly two-fold. First of all, the speed, which is not necessarily the connection, will be much higher. Secondly availability, areas such as airports or even cars sometimes prevent us from using Siri.
It should be mentioned that, if we do not have an internet connection, a list of actions Siri can perform it would be less, no questions on the cloud, but local actions such as volume, playback, reminders, calendars, etc.
More options in the app Ratings
Application Ratings It allows us to gauge, with amazing confidence, the environment around us thanks to the in-depth information the devices receive through their cameras. Currently the app allows us to perform distance measurements, however, it may be interesting to see other similar options angles, fixed points, or volumes or levels. There are other apps in the App Store that offer these options, for example MeasureKit, however, seeing the first solution used by Apple can be fun.
Live thumbnails
There are several rumors that we have already heard that icons on our iPhone or iPad will be live on iOS 14 to show us details about the app, from a summary of Twitter notifications, to pending reminders. These live thumbnails will increase in size as we choose, able to accommodate the current 2×1, 1×2 or 2×2 icons. On our iPad we saw sizes even 2×3, 3×2 or 3×3 given their screen size. With this new size the apps will have enough space to display the information window is updated in real time.
Of course, especially when it's offered as something we can make it work or run, this is a very popular option and, of course, for 1×1, at least some apps like The work, Time y The bag will be of great benefit always have a live icon in the same style they offer Calendar either Clock.
Problems on locked screen
Although these issues are different from the Apple Watch, our iPhone and iPad, and continuing with the previous article, it can still be useful. Three or four issues under the clock and day on the locked screen Where we see, for example, our work, calendar notifications or weather conditions without turning on the phone can be very helpful.
Only access to photos once
With iOS 13 Apple has added the ability to grant app permission to use the app only once. Definitely a lovely resource that combines comfort and privacy. In iOS 14 we would like to see the same Pictures. Many apps ask us permission to access our photos and we have to give them permissions to read and write forever when we only want to find an avatar image to use.
The system that gives permission to read only the app in photos and that this permission over one use can be very fun. In addition, the fact that apps open a file selector where we choose the image we want to use and the application that manages to render it can be much better in terms of privacy. Something like a file picker for any web page, we can touch and upload the file without giving permission.
Mac Shortcuts
Mac Shortcuts! In fact, his arrival is already anticipated due to the Catalyst project, and many of us are looking forward to him. Being able to create shortcuts as they work on all of our devices can be one of the best beat your Mac's workflow on the iPhone or iPad just the opposite. We can have job submissions to edit photos, edit documents, use watermarks, set up counters, etc. The possibilities are endless and very exciting. With a little design for the app Shortcuts You can replace various apps on our devices, app type and, above all, personalized.
Keychain with notes, documents and codes for 2FA
The iCloud keychain allows us to save and sync all our passwords. It is undoubtedly a very valuable resource and yet it can easily provide much more. There are a few points where we've seen improvements, first of all with easy access from our Mac, which we currently do Safari. Another point of development would be the possibility of generating one-time passwords for two-factor authentication directly in the system. We may not end up relying on third-party applications but, as Safari realizes that we need a password it does raise us, the process is will automatically be used with duplicate code.
In addition to storing passwords, a keychain can allow us to save small notes, such as an account number and certain documents, such as our ID scan. Something in pure 1Password style but integrated directly into the system.
IPad preview
Preview It's one of the most popular apps on Mac. Between photo editing opportunities and as a PDF document editor, it's undeniable, the most important application. It allows us, without further ado, to change document types, to cut, edit, edit, etc.
Kind of Preview on the iPad, for many, it would give it a new level of capabilities that up until now required us to use third-party apps. Something as simple as removing the remaining pages from youn PDF document odyssey on iPad and other very simple on Mac. Whether it is an autonomous app or integrated into an app ArchivesI believe that quick editing of PDF documents and pictures on the iPad can make a big step forward.
Repetition Photos
Application Pictures, when we visualize this mode Dates, manages to hide what you consider to be duplicates or poor quality images. So contributing these photos to a different album or option within the same app so we can permanently remove them and clean them, the change will be capital. So far, too, we'll have to go to third-party apps such as Gemini photos. The good thing is that the app Pictures It is already doing the selection process, so providing this information to the user for more order in the image library seems like a logical step. In fact, iPhotos, a Mac photo app, offered, over the years, is possible to recognize and delete them.
More dialing tools
Photo tagging tools allow us to edit an image that adds text, sketches, references … These are the same tools that Apple provided when marking a PP. Undoubtedly, Apple's will is to make the program easier and accessible for everyone, but two or three additional tools for drawing and marking will make the same app Notes father a fast-paced animation application for many we don't need the complexity of Procreate, for example.
ICloud download
Thanks to iCloud Drive folders for The desk y Documents They are synced across all devices, but what about the Downloads folder? Apple can offer the option of syncing your content to the cloud, you can also provide the option to sync only files less than a certain MB size. Currently, when we download three or four PDFs from a web page on our Mac, they appear on our iPad, without having to manually convert them from folders. On our iPad or iPhone, from iOS 13, with Safari Download Manager we are allowed to choose whether to download the archive to iCloud. Definitely something fun to add to macOS too.
Folders are password protected
Currently the only way to protect files and passwords is to use the app Notes with a locked note. The program is active, no doubt, or as uncomfortable as it could be. The option to assign a password to access other folders can be very helpful. Sensitive or personal documents may be encrypted inside the folder for the highest level of protection. Without a doubt the performance will be interesting to see the arrival of our Mac.
HomePod as default output on Apple TV
When we use the HomePod as an Apple TV audio output, this choice disappears from time to time, prompting us to repeat the process to select the HomePod as an audio output. You will definitely be able to mark the HomePod as the default output of all audio without always choosing it would be a very enjoyable comfort.
Whether or not these are the new jobs to be launched by Apple in the next WWDC, which will take place online in June, one thing is for sure: it will be full of surprises.
