Announced at the companys Worldwide Developers Conference on June 22, 2020 as the successor to iOS 13, it was released to the public on September 16, 2020.

Also includes pinned conversations, Memoji improvements, cycling directions, and App Clips.

At the time of announcement, only the use of Apple Pay and Sign in with Apple were shown.

They may also be shared via Messages, or placed on websites or Maps.

Route management in Apple Maps was extended with features alerting the user to available stops, such as parking and food ordering.

Additionally, route planning for electric vehicles now considers the location of charging stations.

The first compatible car showcased by Apple at the WWDC 2020 was the 2021 BMW 5 Series.

Keys may be shared; sharing may be temporary or given restrictions.

In the event the iPhone is out of battery, car keys can still be accessed via the power reserve of the iPhone for about five hours.

Car keys require an iPhone released in 2018 or later.

This allows users to hide infrequently-used apps and avoid clutter.

Widgets may be placed on the home screen to sit amongst app icons; 13 they may be resized to two-by-two, horizontal two-by-four, or four-by-four icons.

Widgets of the same size may be stacked over each other and swiped between for convenience; a Smart Stack may be placed which automatically shows the most relevant widget to the user based on the time of day.

Apps within each category are arranged based on the frequency of their usage.

Users can search for the app they want or browse them in alphabetical order.

Voice calling interfaces, including Phone, or other third-party apps such as Skype, are made substantially thinner, 14 taking approximately as much space as a notification.

This view may be resized with pinch gestures, or moved off-screen temporarily and re-summoned for multitasking.

Picture-in-picture is currently supported by Safari and FaceTime, along with several third party apps, including Disney, ESPN, HBO Max, Netflix, and Prime Video.

This feature was not available in the YouTube app at launch; Google subsequently announced that picture-in-picture will be supported on YouTube in a forthcoming update, but only for subscribers to YouTube Premium.

Users can also share their ETA with contacts and ask for cycling directions.

Users may change location permissions to inform the app of an approximate location, preserving privacy when exact location is unnecessary.

Likewise, a notification appears when the clipboard is accessed by an app.

This change was postponed until early 2021 in iOSiPadOS 14.5 to let developers migrate to more privacy-friendly alternatives.

ARKit 4 also introduced Location Anchor, which uses data from Apple Maps and enables Augmented reality experiences to be placed on geographical coordinates 24 and other smaller improvements.
