Tech Tips: iOS Update

Tech Tips: iOS update

Contributed by Jerry Price, Assistive Technology Specialist

On March 24, Apple is releasing IOS 13.4.  IOS is the operating system that runs your I-device.  From an accessibility point of view, here's what you can expect:

• Siri is always on.  Just like with Alexa and Google products, your personal assistant will be at your beck and call.
• New mail toolbar.  Your mail client will feature a new toolbar which will have 4 options:
• Send to Trash, Move Message, Flag, and Reply.  
• The reply option will also present a myriad of choices such as reply, reply to all, forward, etc. 
• iCloud sharing.  No more third-party apps needed to share material with other Apple users.
• Mouse and trackpad support.  IPad users will have the opportunity to add a mouse or trackpad to their device.

Just like with other IOS releases, these changes may happen all at once or another release may be necessary.  Remember that IOS 13.4 will not work with iPhone 5 or older.
