Privacy
Apple are keen to increase their functionality for privacy. Adding several big improvements from how iOS shows data usage and background processes to using cyber security tactics to scan known data breaches against your hashed passwords in iCloud Keychain.
In iOS 14, when an app is using either the microphone or camera for recording purposes, a small amber light will be shown at the top of the display next to the cellular signal bar.
The light is activated whether an app is in active use or is being used in the background, this will ensure no apps are secretly recording you.
FaceTime
- Eye contact – Apple in iOS 13 briefly introduced an Attention Correction feature, and now it’s back. Now called “Eye contact,” FaceTime makes video calls more natural by establishing eye contact when you’re looking at the screen instead of the camera.
- Better video quality – FaceTime in iOS 14 provides better video quality with up to 1080p resolution on supported devices.
- Picture in Picture – As mentioned up above, FaceTime works in Picture in Picture mode so you can do other things on your iPhone while chatting with someone.
- Sign language prominence – FaceTime can detect when a Group FaceTime participant is using sign language and make the person’s tile more prominent.
