iOS 14 Leak
Here are features coming that the leak reveals:
Watch Faces
- Watch faces that you can share with other Apple Watch users.
- Infograph Pro: An updated version of the current Infograph watch face that will include a tachymeter so you can measure speed and distance based on your travel time.
- An Apple Watch face from shared photo albums.
Kids
- Using their own iPhone a parent can set up and manage their child’s Apple Watch.
- Schooltime: A feature that lets parents control which apps and watch complications that their child can use during school hours.
Other
- Sleep tracking: Set personalized sleep goals using the iOS Health app, and get recommendations for improving sleep duration and quality.
- Control Center will include toggles for sleep mode and noise detection.
- New code architecture: watchOS 6 lets developers create standalone watch apps, but the code is still based on the old model of the watch app as an extension of the phone app. watchOS 7 gets rid of that model, and apps won’t be based on extensions.
