Widgets on the Home Screen Widgets have been redesigned to give you more information at a glance—and now you can add them to your Home Screen. Choose from different sizes and arrange them however you like. You can also add a Smart Stack that displays widgets based on factors like your location, an activity, or the time. See Add widgets on iPod touch.
App Library The new App Library on the Home Screen automatically organizes all your apps into one simple, easy‑to‑navigate view. Apps are sorted by category, and the apps you use most are always just one tap away. See Find your apps in the App Library.
App Clips An App Clip is a small part of an app that focuses on a specific task, like renting a bike, paying for parking, or ordering food. You can discover App Clips in Safari, Maps, and Messages, or in the real world through App Clip Codes (iOS 14.3) and QR codes. See Use App Clips.
Search Search is now a single destination where you can start all your searches. A new design and as-you-type experience delivers faster, more relevant results across apps, contacts, and web searches. See Use iPod touch to search.
Memoji Along with more age options and face coverings, you can choose from over 20 new hair and headwear styles to reflect a hobby, your profession, and your personality. See Create your own Memoji.
Camera Use quick toggles to easily change video resolution in Video mode. See Record a video.
Reminders Reminders automatically suggests dates, times, and locations for a reminder based on similar reminders you’ve created in the past. Members of a shared list can assign reminders to each other so splitting up tasks is easier than ever. In iOS 14.5, you can also sort and print your lists. See Share and assign reminders, Sort or reorder reminders, and Print reminders.
Siri Siri has a new compact design that lets you quickly get information while still focusing on what you’re doing. Siri now provides information from across the web to help you find answers and can send audio messages from the Messages app. See Find out what Siri can do.
Safari Safari is more secure and helpful than ever. You can view the Privacy Report to understand how websites treat your privacy, and Safari may warn you if a password you’re using isn’t secure. If you come across a website in a different language, Safari now provides translations for seven different languages (beta). See View the Privacy Report and Translate a webpage.
Manage cycle factors (iOS 14.3) Help manage cycle tracking predictions in Health by recording factors such as pregnancy, lactation, and contraceptive use. See Manage cycle factors.
FaceTime FaceTime can now detect when a participant is using sign language and make the person prominent in a Group FaceTime call. Video calling is more natural by helping you establish eye contact even when you’re looking at the screen instead of the camera. See Make a Group FaceTime call.
App Store (iOS 14.3) You can now see the privacy practices of apps before you download them. Every app’s product page shows a developer-reported summary of its privacy protections, including what data is collected.
