Apple's iOS 14 update will feel like a dramatic change for iPhone owners — mostly because they'll be able to change the home screen layout by adding widgets to it for the first time. Plus, Apple is launching a new way to use app features without installing a full app through App Clips — which as its name implies lets you use just a slice of an app when needed.
But aside from these larger changes, iOS 14 is also filled with features that bring small but appreciated improvements to the camera, Siri, Memoji, and much more.
The update launched on Wednesday and is compatible with the iPhone 6S and later, including both the original and new iPhone SE. Apple launched a beta preview of the software back in July.
Here are some of the best features you can expect when upgrading to iOS 14.
