As the largest update in the history of Apple’s iOS operating system, the newly added and changed features in iOS 14 can almost be described as “dazzling”. What improvements and features have been added to the system, basically like writing a user manual for iPhone 11, writing an “update guide”, so you probably haven’t fully figured out the new and improved features in iOS 14 , However, according to the master of the game player, in addition to the function improvements that require a book to write clearly in iOS 14, in fact, there are also several very important functions that are ignored by many people. Let’s come together. Learn about.

Set your default email or web browser

First, open the “Settings” on your iPhone, then scroll down to the bottom, the list will list all installed apps, long press the app you want to set as the default app, and then click the pop-up “set as default Browser” prompt, you can set Chrome or other browsers as the default browser. The method of setting the default mail client is similar.

Quickly clean the home screen
Another major improvement of iOS 14 is that you can customize the home screen, which was originally a feature of the Android system. However, when iOS 14 starts to support this feature, you may find that your home screen is messed up and you can’t find the apps you need right away. So, can you clean up those less commonly used apps from the home screen? ? The answer is yes.

Specific method: Long press the blank area of ​​the main screen to trigger the editing mode, and then select those apps that are not commonly used to clear them from the main screen. This operation only removes these apps from the main screen, but does not delete them, so you can use them with confidence.

Clear the app you just downloaded from the home screen
Sometimes, you will find that the refreshing desktop you just organized is messed up again. This is because those newly installed apps will leave a “shortcut” on the desktop by default. The solution to this problem is very simple:
Open “Settings”-“Home Screen”, then select “App Library Only” at the top, and then you can find the newly installed App in the “Recently Added” category of “App Library”. This method can install the App only to the “application library”, and will not be displayed on the main screen, unless you manually place them on the main screen.

Watch Youtube in picture-in-picture mode
The “Picture in Picture” function is an exciting new feature added in iOS 14. When using this function, there is almost no need for any settings, because the “Picture in Picture” function seems to be turned on by default, so that when you are watching a video When you need to reply to an email, you only need to swipe up from the bottom of the screen, and the video being played will be displayed as a small window in the form of picture-in-picture.

The YouTube app does not support the picture-in-picture function, but you can turn it on in other ways. Specifically, you can use Safari to open the video and then play it in full-screen mode, so that when you swipe up from the bottom of the screen, you can shrink the playback window to picture-in-picture mode.

Of course, if you don’t like the picture-in-picture function, you can also turn it off by “Settings”-“General”-“Picture in Picture”, and then you can turn it off.

Tap the back of the phone twice or three times to trigger the operation
