37. iO7 New Features Touch ID Thanks to a fingerprint scanner which is embedded into the home button on the new iPhone 5S, users can scan their finger instead of using a passcode. Touch ID can also be used to authenticate an Apple ID, when buying apps for example. Control Center Control Center gives you easy access to key settings. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen and you can control Wi-Fi Airplane Mode, Bluetooth, Do Not Disturb, screen brightness and music playback. There's also instant access to apps including Clock, Camera, Calculator and Flashlight. (Below right) Notification Center In iOS 7, the Notification Center is available from the Lock screen. A new 'Today' feature gives you a summary of your day including weather, traffic and meetings. Multitasking Apple has said multitasking has been improved with a more intuitive and visual way of switching between apps. iOS 7 will know which apps you use the most in order to keep them up to date, plus an API will allow developers to keep apps multitasking and updating in the background. AirDrop If you want to share something with someone near to you then AirDrop is how you will do it on iOS 7. The app will show you who is close by so you can share with them peer-to-peer, fully encrypted. Apple says it doesn't require any network or setup. Camera The iOS 7 Camera app allows you to use filters in real-time like many third party camera apps out there. A square camera option allows you to quickly switch between photo, video, square and panorama modes with a swipe. Think of it like having multiple desktops in OS X. Photos The redesigned Photos app in iOS 7 introduces something called 'Moments'. It's a new way to organise your photos and videos based on time and location. Zooming out shows all the photos organized by Moments, collections of Moments and years. iCloud Photo Sharing means friends and family can contribute their own photos and video into your shared photo streams. A new Activity view shows updates for all your shared streams together. Safari Safari has a redesigned which lets you see more content thanks to a full-screen browsing mode. Apple said: "The new smart search field helps simplify searching, and there’s a new view for your bookmarks and your Safari tabs." iCloud Keychain stores all your passwords and credit card details securely and enhanced Parental Controls mean you can automatically block adult websites or allow access to a specified list of sites. 37
