According to the latest leaked information about the next update to Apple's mobile operating system, some eye-catching changes could be headed to iOS 14 These include a significant addition of wallpaper options and a new widget option that borrows one of Android's best features

Over the weekend, Twitter user DongleBookPro - who showed off images of reported Apple projects in process - shared some screenshots purportedly showing off changes to the iOS wallpaper feature 14 The most significant change is the home screen wallpaper, with screen The most significant change will be to the home screen wallpaper, which will now have the option to adjust the look and feel of the screen In addition to the normal view of the wallpaper, users can also toggle between dark, dim, and blurry options

Apple also seems to be changing the way wallpapers are organized from the tweeted iOS 14 screenshots; DongleBookPro unveiled a collection section that you will be able to fill with your own photos, as well as an iOS 13 wallpaper section will remain after the iOS 14 update arrives this year layers Similar wallpapers will be grouped together and will likely be able to be swiped horizontally to reveal options

9to5Mac, which previously reported that third parties will be able to offer wallpaper collections in iOS 14 and that they will be integrated into the OS settings, said the DongleBookPro image shows the look of iOS 14, including the addition of true widgets to Apple's mobile OS and features, and that they point to more significant changes for functionality

Currently in iOS 13, widgets are on the Today screen, which is reached by swiping right on the Home screen (For example, my Today screen has widgets for public transportation departure times retrieved from Google Maps and sporting event schedules retrieved from the ESPN app) Starting with iPadOS 13, iPad users can pin these widgets to their home screen for easily accessible

According to 9to5Mac, Apple is preparing something different for iOS 14 The upcoming OS will feature real widgets that can be dragged onto the iPhone or iPad home screen just like any other app This will bring more than Android's line, which has long offered full home screen widgets that allow iOS to pin things like weather bars and calendars between favorite apps

9to5Mac says, the project, known within Apple as "Avocado," is still being implemented and may not make the final cut of iOS 14 features, when the OS update arrives later this year, largely likely alongside this fall's iPhone 12 release likely
