It has brought a lot of changes that are going to change the basic homely look, and the things you are used to seeing, but the best thing about this kind is that it is optional. And if something doesn't feel home to you, then you can simply opt-out of it, but there are plenty that you will love and are surely worth the try.

iOS 14 looks brand new. Feels like home. According to Apple's brand statement, iOS 14 is unique, with all-new features a rediscovered look and design. They have made it user friendly more than ever before with the use of amazing new techniques and artificial intelligence that will enable the application you use frequently adjust themselves with ease to give you a personalized touch so that even elderly people can easily navigate and find their way around the user interface. and help you out in navigation in the elderly age by providing convenience and recommendations for use.

They have also added some cool new things like a picture in picture video mode, transition apps, intelligent new widgets, and freedom of choice to switch the default app for getting your daily tasks done like email, which helps to make it suitable for some elders and people who are not tech-savvy and like doing things in simple ways.

If we take a deep look at the changes and features introduced in this iOS 14 update, it seems to be one of Apple's most significant updates in recent times, and it has completely re-shaped the things your iPhone can do.

Home Screen and Widgets

The home screen of the iPhone has never changed since it was first introduced in 2007. There was that same Grid in which the icons were stacked in a row, and the only changeable option was the order, which looked boring and outdated because of the uniformity. But the good thing is that if we use all the new widgets and app library features iOS 14 has come up with, your home screen isn't going to look the same ever again.

Also, this helps to make it easy to use the phone including making the phone’s customization easy in such a way as to also suit the elderly. to help you adjust it the way you want in your elderly life to ensure usability and easiness it.

App Library

This feature removes the hassle and dilemma usually associated with having a screen filled with too many apps.

With the help of this feature, you are now able to access this newly introduced library feature that will automatically stash all your alphabetical order applications by swiping to the right. And in addition to that, it allows you to remove the extra apps from your home screen and add them to it so that you could get the easiest user experience ever in your old days.

You do not have to delete the less used apps to keep them away from your home screen. Simply long-press on the app icon and move it to the app library by clicking the newly added feature instead of deleting or hiding it. And that's not all: you can even hide or banish a complete page out of your home screen by simply long-pressing the home screen and clicking on the three dots that appear at the bottom, which will allow you to un-tick the pages you don't want so that you could get the best experience especially at this stage of your life.

Compact User Interface

Apple has given us a long-awaited but very much needed update in iOS 14 by introducing the compact user interface, which has rectified many issues Apple users, elderly people, or the ones who are not tech-savvy were facing in previous versions of the iPhone. A few of the significant features of these changes are

Phone Calls

Now the calls will not take you away from your loved task by covering up the whole screen; instead, it will appear as a compact notification that will allow you to answer or reject it right from that with a simple swipe. Swiping up on it will dismiss the call, and if you choose to swipe down, it will take you to the whole standard screen where you can access all the standard features just like in the past.

With the way calls can now be taken, your hands can still be used to carry on with whatever tasks you have to do, and it won’t disrupt you from doing them on your phone.

Face Time Calls

To make things easier and friendly the same is the case here, as mentioned above, for the phone calls. Suppose your grandchildren or son calls you on face time and you are going through an Instagram video or reading a book. In that case, it will appear at the top as a compact notification while you can continue your work, and then you can choose to either pick up that call or reject it by simply swiping up or down as per your choice. Swiping up will dismiss the call and swiping down will again take you to the face time main menu where you can perform any action within the app as you please.

SIRI

As an elder, nothing can beat SIRI in providing the necessary bit of help you always require while operating your phone. Apple has made SIRI more compact and up to date than ever before. It will not pop up on your home screen; instead, it will just give the piece of information you have asked for in the form of a small notification at the top corner of the screen where you can read it while performing your task very quickly.

Picture in Picture

Apple has introduced another cool feature that will allow you to take a call while watching a video or watching a video while going through the emails. This feature is very helpful in case you want to explain something to anyone back in the office or take down notes while watching a video you can easily access both on one screen. It enables you to resize, move and minimize the split window appearing on your screen by simply pinching it or squeezing it with your fingers, and you can close it by swiping it off your screen. The finest part is you can continue to listen to audios and watch videos in your background.

Third-Party Applications

Third-Party applications like Skype have access to act as other iPhone calls and appear in the notification bar in a compact manner that is easy to manage so if any of your children or grandchildren are living abroad and you don’t want to miss out on any skype or IMO notification use this awesome feature.
