In addition to the three aforementioned changes, you’ll find the following changes and features included in iOS 14 beta 5 as well. In the fifth iOS 14 beta, the Music app continues to get attention from Apple engineers, with the Now Playing interface receiving faster background color transitions when skipping between tracks with different album artwork. Faster response time for background colors in Music Now Playing interfaceĪs I noted in my hands-on walkthrough of 250+ iOS 14 features, the Music app has received a significant number of new updates and refinements. Hopefully, Apple resolves this issue in a forthcoming beta release. Although I enjoy the hybrid setup, I found the tap targets for the wheel interface to be a little too small. In beta 5 both the direct input method and wheel style interfaces have been combined into one, providing the best of both worlds. Up until now, iOS 14 had abandoned the haptic feedback-enabled wheel interface for keypad-based direct input. What do you think?

You can now hide the Hidden album in PhotosĪlthough this change is a nice addition to iOS 14, I think many users would appreciate having more granular security options revolving around the use of a passcode or Face ID. In Settings → Photos, you’ll find a new toggle for Hidden Album that, when disabled, will cause the Hidden Album to be removed from the Albums tab of the Photos app.

With this latest change in iOS 14 beta 5, hidden photos become even more obscure thanks to an option to hide the Hidden album as well. In previous versions of iOS, the Hidden album would appear at the bottom of the albums tab, making these photos relatively easy to discover. Placing a photo in the Hidden photos album removes it from the prominent library areas of the Photos app. In iOS, users can stash selected photos in this album by using the Hide option found in the Share sheet. What’s new in iOS 14 beta 5? Hidden album in Photos app can now be “hidden” Watch our brief hands-on video walkthrough for the details. Included in this latest beta are several new user-facing features, including an enhancement to the ability to hide specific photos in the Photos app.

Yesterday Apple released the fifth developer beta for iOS 14.
