These operating systems include many new functions that are definitely worth mentioning. Some functions are very simple, while others are more complex. Within iOS and iPadOS 14, disadvantaged users have also come to their own in a certain way, for which a settings section called Accessibility is being prepared in the mentioned systems.

Sound recognition
Just like the function mentioned above, the function for recognizing sounds is intended primarily for those individuals who are hard of hearing - but it can also be useful for ordinary users.

Redesigned magnifying glass
From time to time you may find yourself in a situation where you may need to use your iPhone as a magnifying glass. In this case, most of you would certainly go to the Camera application, where you would perform a classic zoom, or you would take a photo that you would zoom in on in the gallery. However, did you know that there is an app right in iOS? Land? With the arrival of iOS 14, this mentioned application received a huge overhaul. It now offers the possibility to adjust the brightness, contrast, color or activate the LED diode. If you click on the gear icon in this application, you can then set many more preferences and controls. You can simply drag the Magnifier app from the App Library to your desktop if you want to use it. If you can't find Lupa in the system, go to Settings, where tap on Disclosure.

iOS acceleration
If you have installed the new iOS 14 on an older device, in some cases you may encounter that the device starts to hang and the system generally slows down. It's worth mentioning that the iPhone 6s, which is the last iPhone you'll install iOS 14 on, is already a 5-year-old device - so we certainly can't be surprised by the possible slowdown. Even so, within iOS, specifically directly in Accessibility, you will find several functions that can be used to speed up the system. So, if you have problems with the smoothness of the system on your iPhone, then go to Settings, where you open the section Disclosure. Then go to the section Movement, where activate function Limit movement. In this way, animations and various beautifying effects in the system will be limited, which can be very demanding on the processor. Furthermore, you can in Disclosure go to another section Display and text size, where activate options Reduce transparency a Higher contrast, which also results in a reduction in hardware requirements.
