iOS 14 features reimagined iconic phone experiences, updates to the apps you use every day, all-new App Clips, new privacy measures, iOS 14 is one of Apple's biggest iOS updates to date, introducing Home screen design changes, major new features, updates for existing apps, Siri improvements, and many other tweaks that streamline the iOS interface. iOS 14 is definitely a great update but if you have any concerns about important apps that you absolutely need to work or feel like you'd rather skip any potential early bugs or performance issues, waiting a week or so before installing it is your best bet to make sure all is clear. The update is available on all eligible devices (see below) over-the-air in the Settings app. To access the new software, go to Settings > General > Software Update. For full details on all the new features, visit our release article which lists all the many new features found in ‌iOS 14 July 17 is World Emoji Day and Apple marked the occasion by showcasing a bunch of new emojis that will be available to users worldwide with the release of iOS 14 later this fall. The 13 new additions include symbols for the Dodo bird, nesting dolls, pinata and tamale.

2. How to get the most out of Apple
Music's updates in iOS 14
The release of iOS 14 brings with it an updated Apple Music app,
which has been given an overhaul. Here's how to use all of the new
features included in the app for all those who updated their iPhone
and iPad.
The latest version of Apple Music makes quite a few changes in terms
of appearance and utility, as expected of a new operating system
update. While there are many smaller changes, there's four areas of
major change in the app: Listen Now, Searches, Library Filtering, and
Autoplay.
Listen Now

3. Formerly named For You. The updated tab, the first one in the bottom
row, has been redesigned as a central one-stop shop for
personalization and music discovery.
All of a user's favorite music selections, including artists, playlists,
and recently played music appears on the page, as well as Apple's
recommendations. The upper Top Picks section offers suggestions of
what to play, such as new albums, most-listened-to songs, a featured
artist based on a user's listening habits, or a recently-accessed mood
playlist.
The page then devolves down to genre, the Recently Played list,
playlists based on others, and Made for You mixes, and many other
categories.

4. As the user continues to use the service, the selections within Listen
Now will change. This applies to both the music and artists being
offered for quick listens, but also how they are ordered within the
page, with the most-frequent selections bubbling upward.
Search
People looking for music can take advantage of some changes in the
Search page to better find the music they want.
Normal search is available with the text entry bar, which can be used
to find tracks both across all of Apple Music or within a user's Library.
Search terms can include the name of the artist, the song, the album,
a playlist, a compilation, a composer, a radio show or episode, a
station, a video, a category, a curator, or a profile of a user.

5. Search by song, artist, lyric, or browse by general mood in Apple Music.
Search is not just limited to metadata about a track, but also the lyrics
of a song.
If a user would rather meander through Apple Music, there is also the
option of choosing one of the large Browse Categories buttons on the
base Search page. These include a wide variety of genres and moods,
such as "Focus" or "Motivation," as well as specific categories like
"Charts."
Library Filtering
Apple has also made it easier to find music within a user's library.
While normally users would either have to endlessly scroll through a

6. section of their library to find the right album or artist, or navigate
away to find it as part of the Search tab, the update to iOS 14
effectively puts an end to either, if the user has an idea of what they're
trying to get.
That being said, it's not immediately visible and accessible, so short
of stumbling about it or hearing about it from a guide, most people
will probably not be aware of filtered searches.
Swipe down in a library view to find the hidden search box.
How to search the user library in Apple Music for iOS 14
Select the Library tab.
Select the section you want to search, such as Albums or Songs.

7. Swipe down to show the search box.
Enter your search terms. Results will automatically filter below.
Autoplay
Not everyone has managed to set up playlists with days or weeks of
music they like on Apple Music. For those who just want music in the
background, a playlist of user-approved tracks may not necessarily
be long enough for their listening needs.
With these shorter-than-needed playlists, a user may have to repeat
the playlist and shuffle tracks, but even that could become boring
after the 40th listen to a song. That's before you consider people who
set a playlist playing without any form of looping, and having to set
another one going once the dreaded silence occurs at the end of the
current list.
In iOS 14, Apple is attempting to fix the problem with Autoplay. An
extra button that can be selected on a playlist view, Autoplay will
automatically search for, and cue up, songs that are similar to those
in the current playlist.

8. The infinity symbol on the playlist view enables Autoplay.
Once enabled, the playlist view will also show a list of songs Autoplay
reckons matches the current playlist, which it will start to play once
the current list is exhausted.
How to turn Apple Music Autoplay On and Off in iOS 14
Listen to a song, album, or playlist that you want to use Autoplay
with.
Tap the Song Title at the bottom of the screen.
Tap the Playlist view button, which is the three horizontal lines button
on the bottom right of the screen.
Tap the Infinity symbol button, to the right of the "Playing Next" title.

9. Once Autoplay has generated an extended playlist, the order of the
songs can be rearranged by holding and dragging the three lines to
the right of the song. A swipe to the left on a song will bring up the
Remove button to remove it from the extended playlist.
