Although in the keynote of the WWDC 2018 a lot of time was spent on stage iOS 12, those of Cupertino, logically, did not have time to cover all the news that the update will bring us. Fortunately, thanks to the first beta of iOS 12, we have not had to wait long to discover the others: we review the most interesting ones.
IPhone X-style gesture control for iPad
Let's start with what is probably the one that interests us the most here, which is the arrival of the iPhone X gesture controls to the iPad: now, to access the control center we have to slide from the top to the right, and if we slide up from the dock we go to the home page.
New iPad menu bar design
In line with the above, we have already commented talking about the Easy recognition confirmation for iPad Pro 2018 that the location of the clock has also been changed, which is now in the upper right. Is it making room Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), al notch for iPad Pro 2018? We will have to wait to confirm it.
Multiple facial recognition
Another novelty that points mainly to the iPad (to future models, actually), although Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), insists on saying that it is a device for personal use: with iOS 12 we can make adjustments so that the facial recognition can be used by more than one user, although at the moment it seems that the limit only goes up to two.
Automatic Updates
It is true that the process at present is quite simple and straightforward, but from iOS 12 it seems that it will be even more so, with the possibility of activating Automatic Updates, so that we can completely forget about the matter and that they are downloaded as soon as they are available.
More battery information
The option to know the health of the tablet battery will probably never reach the iPad (it is true that it is less necessary with it), but at least we will have more complete statistics, extending the period that we can consult to 10 days and with a detailed graph.
Widget to control the times with the applications
Although from "screen time”Yes they spoke to us in the keynote, the new function to control the time we spend with each app, it is worth adding that we have a new widget dedicated to her in the corresponding section (swiping to the right from the home page).
Security enhancements
You can take a look at this review with all the iOS 12 security improvements, but it is worth mentioning here several measures implemented in relation to the password management, with new autocomplete options, notices in cases of reuse or the possibility of requesting them from Siri.
other developments
In addition to all these we have even much more small improvements and changes: more colors in Markup to annotate captures, pdf, etc; new icons in Safari for eyelashes; new settings sync for Apple Books, the possibility of adding the QR scanner to control center, and more fluidity in animations.
