As usual, Apple releases important updates simultaneously for almost the entire range of devices running operating systems.

After several months of beta releases (no less than six), Apple released an important update for all iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch, which comes with some new features.

iOS 13.4 and iPadOS 13.4

We already know that since last year, Apple decided to develop for iPad devices an operating system based on iOS, but with some specific features.

One of these is mouse and trackpad support for iPads updated to iPadOS 13.4. And until now this support exists, but the cursor was rudimentary and without great precision. With iPadOS 13.4, the cursor has become smaller and provides greater accuracy. It is recommended, of course, to be connected to the iPad Magic Mouse or Magic Trackpad. In addition, iPadOS 13.4 supports Multi-Touch gestures for system navigation.
These new features bring the iPad tablet ever closer to what it wants Apple for several years. Let the iPad be a device that can replace the Mac for more and more operations.

Another feature, this time valid for both iOS, iPadOS as well as for the latest version of MacOSThis iCloud Drive Folder Sharing.

Apple had announced this feature since the release of iOS 13, but only now has it materialized. iCloud Drive Folder Sharing allows us to share with colleagues, friends, entire folders from iCloud Drive. It also offers the possibility to set limitations for each user with whom I shared the folder. We can choose to give access only for viewing or full access. Writing and deleting files from the shared folder.

Sharing can be done by live streaming or through a link that can be accessed from the browser.

Another important novelty is import accounts and passwords from Google Chrome into iCloud Keychain. Users of Mac I use a lot of this "file" in which save and synchronize passwords for online accounts among all the devides it is the same account of iCloud.

watchOS 62 and MacOS 10.15.4

In the latest version of watchOS added support for purchases from applications, EKG support si notifications for irregular heart rhythm, for Turkey, New Zealand and Chile. These features of Apple Watch Series 4 they are not allowed in all countries, they are for informational medical purposes.

For macOS, beside iCloud Drive Folder Sharing new features have been added in: the Music application (the possibility to "navigate" a song by simply clicking on the versions), Screen Time, Safari and many other bug fixes and performance improvements.

 

I am happy to share my experiences in the field of computers, mobile phones and operating systems, to develop web projects and to bring the most useful tutorials and advice. I like to "play" on the iPhone, MacBook Pro, iPad, AirPort Extreme and on operating systems macOS, iOS, Android and Windows.
