New Feature in Apple iOS 14.6

Apple this week released iOS 14.6 to the public, which includes enhanced support for AirTag, Apple Card Family, paid subscriptions in the Apple Podcasts app, and more. American Multinational Technology company has made improvements to the Shortcuts app, which now runs actions faster on the iPhone and iPad with the latest version of the operating system.

Some users said that the actions in the Apple Shortcuts app run faster with iOS 14.6 and iOS 14.7 beta. One of the reports mentions that a shortcut with 700 actions used to take about 30 seconds to run on iOS 14.5, but now, it runs in just 13 seconds with iOS 14.6. Other users report that the speed got slightly faster with the update but nothing significant.

While the iPhone with iOS 14.5.1 took 8 seconds to complete, another iPhone with iOS 14.6 took only 4 seconds to do the same tasks. The tests were conducted with an iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 12 Pro Max, both devices with the A14 Bionic chip.AirTag will show the partially masked phone number of the owner when tapped with an NFC-capable device. In terms of accessibility options, users with voice control can unlock their iPhone for the first time after a restart using only their voice.

The macOS Big Sur 11.4 update adds Apple Podcasts subscription support available for purchase via monthly and annual subscriptions. It also shows Channels group together collections of shows from podcast creators. People who have enabled voice controls can now unlock their iPhones with their voice whenever the phone restarts.
