iOS 14.2 and iPadOS 14.2 is a major update considering the amount of forward-facing features it has to offer. iOS 14 brings new Music Recognition control which will be integrated into the Control Center. The feature will allow the Shazam app in the iOS operating system to detect the songs that are playing in apps and even when you’re wearing AirPods.

The update also brings a redesigned Now Playing widget for the Control Center that shows recently played albums. In addition, it also features a redesigned interface for AirPlay which will make it easier to play music on multiple devices powered by AirPlay 2. Other than this, Apple also added a “People Detection” feature in the Magnifier app. It will use the camera app to let iPhone users know how far people are. This is a neat addition and pretty useful in times of social distancing.
