25 May 2021

iOS has changed a bit more, Apple launched this Monday (24) version 14.6, one month after 14.5 was released, with the new privacy policy. This time, the changes are more subtle, but there are still new features added.

The biggest change is probably the addition of Subscriptions. Apple Podcasts, which allows users to pay for additional features on the company's podcast aggregator. With a subscription, users can listen to programs without ads, have access to exclusive content (if creators add it) and even listen to programs in advance.

The resource is the Apple meeting a long-standing demand from podcast creators, who often use external platforms to offer this type of exclusive content. The company's intention is to keep the entire process within the Apple Podcasts. Additionally, you can now mark all episodes as played, recover old shows, and remove downloads from the app.

What else has changed?

But it wasn't just the Apple Podcasts that changed with iOS 14.6. The new operating system version It also changes some things in the Find My system. Now, it is possible to add a phone number (and no longer just an email address) so that the person who found the lost object can get in touch. Remember that AirTags also use Find My, so the change applies to both those who find an iPhone (or Mac, iPad, etc.) and the locators.

In addition to all this, iOS 14.6 also paves the way for HiFi audio mode, which despite appearing in this update, should only be available to all users in June. As always, bug and security fixes have also been added, so it's always a good idea to keep your device up to date.

Another thing that has changed with iOS 14.6, but for now only for US users, is the Apple Card Family, which allows two people to share the same card. You can also share it with your children, setting spending limits and seeing where the card is being used. All of this can be monitored via your iPhone.

Remember that iOS 14.6 does not arrive alone. Along with the update for the iPhone, versions for all devices are also released. Apple: watchOS 7.5, tvOS 14.6, macOS 11.4, and HomePod OS 14.6.
