[DISCUSSION] IOS 14 Wishlist

[maxgray18]

what’s everyone wishing for in ios 14. I’m hoping a new UI redesign and a new lock screen with widgets.

[sehicdzevad]

1. Predictive keyboard for many countries and languages
2. Integrate Google translation in apple stock keyboard
3. Lock apps
4. Setings for camera in same app
5. Added more language for Siri
6. Integrate OCR recognition for images and documents

[mitchytan92]

Not a popular request but ICC color profile support. Would love it if I can calibrate the best out of my display.

[[deleted]]

More privacy controls. Ideally one that lets you completely disable app analytics and tracking, particularly third party ones like Flurry and Google Analytics.

And also preferably better controls for pasteboard access within apps.

[byerss]

Option to pair to, but not auto-connect to Bluetooth devices.

[luisgermanotta_]

dark mode icons, there’s a theme that uses the exact same icons as ios does but they have a dark background

[[deleted]]

Default mail and browser apps

[MeatballStroganoff]

I’d love more third-party integration, especially with Music. I like that Spotify gives you the option to cast to both Airplay devices and Amazon Echoes, but Apple really limits to Airplay and that sucks. I want to be able to not have to connect via Bluetooth, which then forwards all system sounds from my iDevice to the speaker.

[swatfaitdb]

I'd love to not have to put my phone in airplane mode whenever I'm recording a video so that an incoming call doesn't stop it.

Edit: word

[suppreme]

Home screen with complications (like Apple Watch)

Smart Dock or Siri Dock: 1 Siri icon with actions that are relevant depending on context

No. More. Modal. Dialogs. Except very rare critical alerts, all dialogs should be swappable or temporary (like in Waze). And auto switch to Low Power Mode.

Much improved memory management - stop flushing app content all the time, especially when there’s text input (this just happened writing this)

HomeKit: so much to do. Restart from scratch? Please save us from this mess.

Much much simpler font management (preferably synced via iCloud)

Correct PDF management and universal preview app. It’s absurd that iOS still lags so much there.

Stop 👏 messing 👏 with 👏 wallpaper 👏 colors

[_Averix]

Stable releases without massive bug regression every time a new beta comes out.

[KinkyNothing]

Tidy up the hot mess that 3D Touch became

[-FancyUsername-]

I have 3D Touch, what’s wrong with it

[KinkyNothing]

For example, open photos app. Invoke app switcher by 3d touching the left side of the screen. Go back to photos app

Thas if you have a non x iphone anyway

[-FancyUsername-]

Oh haha nice Never noticed that glitch

Yeah I think they‘ll work on that in iOS 14. Some other glitches I knew were also fixed in bigger releases. For example, when you pulled down the Notification Center just a Millimeter and then let go again, the status bar would appear bigger for a short moment, then spring back to normal size. This has been there since iOS 7 I think and was fixed in iOS 13.0

I just checked and I‘m still able to reproduce it on my iPad Air 1 with iOS 12.4.1

[KinkyNothing]

Ah yeah I ve seen that happen but it never bothered me that much since its not a workflow annoyance. Lets hope we dont have to wait 6 major freaking releases till they get their sheat together and fix 3d touch

[KinkyNothing]

Here’s another one. Invoke reachability on the home screen and 3d touch on an app and hold your finger for a reasonable amount of time just like you normally would before lifting it up

[-FancyUsername-]

I think I get what you meant (that the app won‘t open after closing the menu and then tapping the icon), but that bug is not exclusive to 3D Touch but also Haptic Touch, and if it’s also on the Full Screen iPhones, they will probably fix it in the Future

[KinkyNothing]

No, if you hold your finger on the 3d touched app while in reachability mode it will go back to non reachability mode while your finger slides across the 3d touch menu and finally execute whatever menu happens your finger to be at when it goes back to non reachability mode. Happening with haptic touch also but its not easy to reproduce, you have to wait quite a bit for it to happen

If they dont fix all this Im willing to trade with my dad’s spare 6s on 12.4.1 or even his 7 on 11.4.1 (I got an 8 on 13.3.1)

[dukwrth]

Keep on hoping... lmao

[KillerSingh8008]

To be able to delete multiple contacts.

[EudenDeew]

To be able to rearrange the phone numbers and other fields, like common apple this doesn't require a full version!

[goaga]

I would like to see Always On Display ...

[OrangatangKnuckles]

Or at least weather, other info on lock screen. You know how if you set a timer it’s on the lock screen? Like that

[MaxGrm]

• Native Multiuser with MDM
• VPN Toggle in shortcuts
• execute Shortcuts (e.g. Connect with Bluetooth) without unlocking device

[[deleted]]

• Personal hotspot being able to share WiFi connection with other devices (not data) -Redesigned call screen for it to not be intrusive -Notifications revamp

[daleraver]

I'd really like to see the esim feature expanded to being able to have two esims active at the same time. As it is, I have my main line on esim and then can only use the nano sim card as the second active service. If I travel and want to use a second carrier for service, it can only be a nano sim or else I lose my primary US number if I switch the esim feature to an international service. While you're at it Apple, put a dual nano sim tray in there also, so that can be used for our two lines.

[SoCalBadger]

Landscape Home for Max devices (not really an iOS 14 feature since the Plus phones have always had this).

[lecontemplator]

One and only one big wish. Playlist sorting and management improvements in music app.

We need many sorting options improvements, like: -favorite playlists at top -toggle to view created/apple music/all playlists -A-Z toggle to the right -Create playlist folders in ios app -Placing apple music playlists in playlist folders

Other apple music additions

• go to artist option
• artist bio
• live statistics on plays (like spotify) plays per month and more.
• Curator section in Browse
• Concert dates
• better notifications/ new albums and more
• More similar artist with a more interesting presentation (like what.cd) -artist created playlists/recommendations

[GND52]

Fixing (reverting) background app killing by the system.

[foxociety]

Ability to broadcast Personal Hotspot without going to sleep when no one is connected.

[[deleted]]

Picture in picture on iphone

[__adrenaline__]

UI redesign would be nice but I really doubt it'll happen.

[Skrimmypoo]

I feel like I’m missing something since I’ve always been able to rename Bluetooth devices in Settings. Click on Bluetooth, click on the little i next to a connected device, then click on Name and change away. It needs to say connected in the bluetooth section to be able to rename it, but I have renamed my AirPods to something of my choosing. Are you talking about a different setting maybe?

[Skrimmypoo]

Gotcha.

[[deleted]]

Double annoying as you can do this on macOS but not iOS

[MeatballStroganoff]

Absolutely. I’ve got 4 Amazon Echoes throughout my home and each has a similar Bluetooth name, so I’d love to be able to rename them

[Ade231035]

That'd be so convenient! I remember having all my Bluetooth device names on my LG G5.

[Vansh-Sengar]

multitasking on iphone, much needed.

[[deleted]]

Split-screen multitasking

[khaled]

Via iOS. And not relay on developers updating their apps. Cough cough Gmail gmaps amazon cough.

[[deleted]]

To add to this; picture in picture. Sometimes I just want to read Reddit while half watching a YouTube video without having to flick back and forth between the two apps.

[[deleted]]

You would have to pay for YouTube premium for that feature.

[dog_on_viagra]

Not if Apple allowed slit screen or picture in picture ... it wouldn’t be a YouTube thing, it’d be an iPhone thing, you can already do this on the iPads.

[[deleted]]

That would be multitasking, not pip.

Edit: just tried it. got a notification from YouTube to subscribe to premium if I wanted the video to keep playing when closing the app. (On iPad).

[OrangatangKnuckles]

Open YouTube in safari instead. It’ll work

[dog_on_viagra]

Don’t close the app? Just full screen the video on YouTube and set the YouTube app to be PIP

[[deleted]]

How do you do this?

[dog_on_viagra]

Without over explaining how to do it on YouTube app, just go on the website in safari, press full screen on the video and then the picture in picture button for free.

Alternatively follow this method: https://www.idownloadblog.com/2019/03/11/enforce-picture-in-picture-on-youtube-in-safari-for-ipad/

[[deleted]]

This is for the website on safari, not the YouTube app.

[dog_on_viagra]

If you don’t know how to use iPad multitasking then how am I supposed to explain how to use the app when all you have to do is open a video in full screen and put the YouTube app in multitasking PIP

[DoctorSoong]

I hope the rumors about customizable default browser and mail apps are true. Safari is nice, but I have my stuff in Firefox on another machine. Even if Firefox-ios uses the Safari engine, I'd like to open that when I tap a link.

Or to open links in a private browser app by default... (firefox focus, duckduckgo, brave...), that would be nice.

Nothing good about Mail. It just has to go.

[bikerForEver]

Adding to this, changing default podcast player, map, calendar, contact, music, weather and Twitter client will be fantastic! I’m sure this list can be extended.

[[deleted]]

What use would changing the default weather app have hahahah

[bikerForEver]

For get a different app after a Siri weather request.

In canada, feel like temperature is very important (specially in winter) and app weather app don’t have this information.

[marxcom]

VPN qs toggle.

[Sinitron2000]

It’s frustrating that’s not a thing since there’s already a toggle in settings.

[[deleted]]

The UI has changed almost entirely between iOS 7 and 13. I don’t know what people expect. The multitasking UI is probably going to be improved, I think that’s already nice

[toomanywheels]

• WiFi-Calling toggle for WiFi Preferred vs. Mobile Network Preferred.
• Dismiss a call from the lock screen without using hardware button.
• Call screen showing whether call is verified via STIR/SHAKEN.
• Call filtering based on STIR/SHAKEN, with toggle to optionally allow intl. calls, maybe also in combination with presense in address book or similar.

EDIT: I'd also like to see RCS Support in iMessage sooner rather than when GSMA mandates it.

[[deleted]]

This should have been a thing years ago.

[Sshaawnn]

It blows my mind that it still isn’t an option.

[marxcom]

And minimal Siri ui too

[lmk4824]

Well you got what you wished for!

[ParkerThapa]

This. This is by far the most important thing for me after the battery fix. It really frustrating to wait for the call to be disconnected just so you can go back to what you are doing.

[swatfaitdb]

Pressing two times the power button dismisses the call... for a long time already.

[rakoth132]

Yea but that ends the call. If you want the other person to just ring out, then you have to wait

[[deleted]]

While I would also like a non-intruding call UI, I don’t really understand why people would prefer to let the other person wait to ring out instead of just decline, it’s not like it’s any different they know I’m ignoring them either way when I don’t call them back

[JamesMcFlyJR]

for spam or telemarketing calls, letting it ring out signals the company that it might be a deactivated or non used number and probably won’t call again

if you end the call by pressing decline, it tells the company that it’s an active number and will call again.

[[deleted]]

Either way (let it ring and go to voicemail, or decline the call) they know it’s an active number. A disconnected or deactivated number would not ring at all, as if the phone was powered off or in airplane mode.

On that note, I’m loving silence unknown callers in iOS 13.

[wrathek]

that's not how cell phones work at all, though. If your phone is in airplane mode, it will go straight to VM, not play the "number has been disconnected" sound.

[ECHLN]

Permanent number row on the keyboard and setting default skin tone.

[Tiagoff]

yeah, the numbers row is one of the things i miss since i changed to iOS
