iOS 13: Here are the features that could be added
In a few months, we will have the chance to see the first beta of the new Apple-branded software, but here are the new features of iOS.
Apple will present, like every year, iOS 13, the future version of the operating system from Apple, at the Worldwide Developers Conference that will start on June 3rd. 9to5Mac has managed to have news on the future possible features that will be implemented with the update.
Dark Mode and Multitasking
How could you miss the much acclaimed Dark Mode in such an important OS? This is one of the most likely functions at this time. There will be a system-wide Dark mode, which can be activated via the settings, and a high-contrast version, similar to the one already available on macOS; the hope is that third-party applications also adapt to this mode, as Chrome can do on macOS.
An interesting novelty also comes in the multitasking area and will concern iPad: with iOS 13, the possibility of having multiple windows of the same application open will be included. Each window will be connected to a portion of the screen, and then it can be moved and stacked on top of another freely via a specific gesture.
Gesture changes, improvements to Safari and font management
With iOS 13, Apple wants to introduce a new movement that will allow standard cancellation following text entry on the iPad. The gesture will be three fingers on the keyboard area: scrolling left and right will allow the user to cancel or repeat actions interactively.
Safari on iOS 13 for iPad, will automatically request a desktop version of websites whenever possible, avoiding the mobile version when they are running on an iPad with a larger screen.
Will the new version of the OS add a new font management panel in the system settings, which is a start to customize iOS too?
Smart mail, best selection of icons
The Mail app becomes more and more intelligent: the organization of messages in categories such as marketing, shopping, travel, ” not important ” and more will be automated. Users will also be able to postpone reading emails, adding messages to a ” next read ” queue.
iOS will add the inclusion of new gestures to allow the selection of multiple items, so users will be able to drag with more fingers on a list or a collection of items to create a selection.
There will also be the possibility for developers to use a different style of status bar, light or dark, in any situation bypassing the problem of lack of contrast on some applications.
New HUD volume and other changes
Other new features of iOS 13 include a redesigned reminder app, also coming to MacOS, a new volume HUD, better ” Hey Siri “ reception that will avoid ” command errors “, better multilingual support for keyboards and dictation and expanded in-app print controls.
