iOS 14 – Tips and Tricks

Improved Home Screen
Hands down, the best features that iOS 14 introduces is the ability to customize the home screen. Even though Android fans had access to widgets and customization tools for years, iPhone users were left behind. Fortunately, this is not the case anymore. iPhones now have access to an app drawer dubbed as “App Library”. All their apps are automatically stored by category to make them easier to access.

Create Your Own App Icons
As previously mentioned, iOS 14 gives iPhone users more customization options than ever. Did you know now you can create your own app icons? This can be done by using the Shortcuts app and customizing the look of your favorite apps. For example, you can replace the Spotify icon with a pair of headphones or a cute cat.

Picture-in-Picture Mode
It’s finally here! Apple has listened to feedback from iPhone users and decided that time has come to give everyone access to the famous Picture-in-Picture mode, or PiP for short.

You can watch your favorite videos while answering emails or checking social media on the other side of the screen. Although, we do need to mention that this is limited to supported apps only.
