Immediately Apple supplied the latest iOS 14.5 beta to developers, it also makes available the third iOS 14.5 public beta. This new upgrade brings about a few changes, and one of them, which also is the most significant, is the addition of the ‘items’ tab in the Find My app. This will allow users to track more devices from an iPhone or iPad.
The latest development suggests that soon the AirTags will be here, and they should be featured at the company’s upcoming event later this month.
iOS 14.5 will also include an unlock with Apple Watch feature that allows Apple Watch owners to unlock their iPhones while wearing face masks, AirPlay 2 support for Apple Fitness+, support for the PS5 DualSense controller, as well as the Xbox Series X controller, a crowdsourcing feature in Apple Maps, a series of emoji characters, and worldwide support for 5G in iPhone 12 Dual SIM.
For those who like to participate in public betas, an account will be needed. They need to sign up for Apple Beta Software Program HERE.
