How to Download iOS 14

If your iPhone or iPod touch is compatible with iOS 14, you can download it easily. You will have to wait for it to reach your device. Once it has reached, just go to Settings>General>Software Update. If you have selected the automatic update option, then you won’t have to do anything. Your iPhone will automatically update itself. If you are doing it manually, we would recommend that you make a backup of all your data before you start the installation and update process. Also, make sure that your device is plugged in and charging.

iOS 14 Features

One of the main things that we see in iOS 14 is the home screen pages. Apple had already told us about it at WWDC 2020. You now have more space to organize your apps into a single view. This is what Apple is calling the App Library. You are also getting better and newer interfaces for FaceTime, voice calls, Siri, and more. Also, the widgets have been redesigned. Another thing that people were waiting for and now can access is the Picture in Picture support.

Another feature Apple introduced in iOS 14 is the upgraded Messages section. Now, you can pin important or favorite message threads. Also, you can get alerts for group messages whenever you are mentioned. More updates that we can look forward to are preloaded Maps, Siri, and Safari apps.

iPadOS 14, watchOS 7, and tvOS 14

iOS 14 is not the only thing that was launched. They also launched iPadOS 14, watchOS 7, and tvOS 14. They all have their features, so we will just name a few. As far as iPadOS 14 is concerned, you can enjoy a redesigned sidebar, pull-down menus, and a better and more optimized search experience.

Conclusion
