Any word on the searching emojis? From what I understood, that option was removed in the last beta.
Photos>Albums>UTILITIES <---what where now?
I hope they've fixed it!Did they fix the clock widget?

Just noticed that! One of those things that I didn't realize how much I used it until I got my SE and noticed it wasn't there!On the 2020 iPhone SE, Haptic Touch finally works on the lockscreen as well! 😍
Under Settings > Battery there is now a Last Charged to... Indicator that shows how far someone has charged their device.
When you pull down to search on the homescreen, the top app for your search input is preselected and can be opened directly with the „open“ command at the bottom right corner of the keyboard (blue button). This is new, isn‘t it? (And I really like it...)
New CarPlay view with bottom dock.

Eeeeesh.....I hope it's not this way on my BMW. I've got a widescreen display so this would look weird. Maybe it's only for square displays I wonder?
When it was changed to white from red, everyone kept talking about how ugly it became. Now, it's the other way around, which means it is just a reaction of unexpected change rather than the new one being ugly 👍🏼
Apple today released the fifth developer betas of iOS 14 and iPadOS 14 for testing purposes, updating and refining some of the new features that are included in the new software.
As the beta testing period goes on, changes get smaller and less notable, but we've highlighted the few new features that can be found in iOS 14 beta 5.
- Apple News Widget - The Apple News widget has a new option for a taller widget window that provides more space to display additional news stories. The size of the widget prevents it from being used on the Home Screen.
![]()
- Widget Privacy - For apps that use location, there's now a popup that asks if you want to allow widgets for those apps to also use your location data. Widgets can use location data for up to 15 minutes when activated, and the Location Services Privacy settings for apps now mention widgets.

- Alarm Clock Wheel - When setting an alarm in the Clock app, you can now use a finger to swipe through the clock wheel to set the time rather than having to type it in. It's much smaller than the wheel in iOS 13.6, and there's still an option to type a time.
![]()
- Exposure Notifications - The interface for Exposure Notifications has changed in iOS 14 beta 5. Tapping on "Turn on Exposure Notifications" brings up an option to choose a country, region, or state, and it will let you know if an Exposure Notification app is available for your area. This interface is different from the iOS 13.6 interface and the interface available in iOS 14 beta 4.
![]()
- Hidden Photo Albums - There's a new Hidden Album setting in photos that when turned on, causes the Hidden album in Photos to be hidden from the Albums list. The Hidden album remains available in the image picker.
![]()
- HomeKit Control Center - HomeKit favorites in Control Center now feature smaller tiles and smarter organization that provides access to more shortcuts at a tap.
![]()
- Widget Fixes - The Weather widget is fixed and updates at more appropriate intervals, and widgets are now blocked for Screen Time when a parent app is blocked.
- Battery Charge - In the Settings app under Battery, the Last Charge Level section has been tweaked a bit. Rather than displaying the last charge level over to the right of the interface, it's now displayed with the Last Charged wording to make it easier to see at a glance.

It is Apple so they can break their own rules without the fear of reprisal.I don't get why Apple is so set on the new time entry field, which is now some weird non-standard picker field which doesn't even follow their own HIG with the small tap targets. This thing needs to be at least twice as big.
Still dangerous for one hand use as the finger will move to a very uncomfortable position either way. A number row makes more sense and safer to use in one hand.Man you don’t actually need an extra row of numbers, you can just press numbers icon on the bottom left of the keyboard and without lifting your finger up, move it to the number you want. Very handful feature
