iOS 13 features: Dark mode, undo gestures and much more
In a matter of months, Apple will unveil iOS 13, the next generation of its operating system for iPhones and iPads. The OS has long been said to be in the works, and now, 9To5Mac has detailed the capabilities it would bring along, including a system-wide dark mode and deeper multitasking features. Let's take a look at all the new features coming in iOS 13.
System wide dark mode
Speaking to sources familiar with iOS 13 development, 9to5Mac has learned that the OS will have a system-wide dark mode that could be enabled from settings. We don't know what it would look like, but the capability would apply to apps. It will also have a high-contrast version, much like MacOS's dark mode. iPad apps compatible with MacOS will also support the dark mode.
Enhanced multitasking functions on iPad
Along with the dark mode, iOS 13 will bring deeper multitasking functions, especially for iPad. The feature, as the report explains, will allow the iPad users to run the same app in multiple windows. Each window will be presented in the form of a card which you'll be able to move around the screen, stack on top of each other or side by side.
Gesture-based undo and redo actions
The annoying undo feature that involved shaking the device physically is getting changed with touch-based gestures. Yes, with iOS 13, you might be able to drag three fingers left and right on the keyboard to undo or redo something you have written. Also, the operating system will allow you to select multiple items in a list or collection by dragging fingers across them.
New Volume HUD, improved apps
Apple will finally deal with the annoying volume HUD that shows up at the center, replacing it with a more subtle indicator. In addition to this, iOS 13 is expected to bring improvements to Safari, Mail, and Reminders. Safari could start offering prompts for turning web pages into desktop sites, Mail could filter incoming emails by categories, while Reminders could get a new look.
Many features not detailed yet
Along with fancy features like new Volume HUD and better multitasking, the report from 9To5Mac also details the inclusion of minor improvements like better font management, language support, and 'Hey Siri' detection. However, all of this doesn't mean that the upcoming OS from Apple will be limited to these capabilities only. There might be many more features that haven't been reported/tipped yet.
