Apple announced about iOS 13 in June 2019 at the WWDC event. As expected it has a bulk of new and exciting features to astonish the users. This has increased some work for the developers. The iPhone app developers have to stay tuned with the introduction of new features and also how to integrate them in the next app they are developing. Now, for experienced developers, it would be somewhat simple. On the contrary, for the newbie developers who have just completed their iPhone training period, it would be difficult for them to mark the changes in the features in its implementation in the development process. Here is a curated list of the features of iOS 13 that iOS developers should keep an eye on and study before their competitors.

Things To Implement In iPhone App

1) Location Permission

Apple is focusing highly on the user’s privacy and hence came up with location pop up permission feature. Well, it might pop up your head what’s new about this feature or wasn’t this feature already existing in the previous version as well? Yes, in the previous version the permission was asked only once and the developer can use the location detail every time they want. This way the developer can negatively use the location detail if they want and whenever they want. In iOS 13, the developer has to ask every time they want to use the location detail. This way the user’s privacy has surged a notch.

Your app must also inform the users about why they need the location permission and what will be the effects of allowing it and the effects of not allowing it. The users will be informed and I would suggest every iOS developer integrate it into their apps. This will allow the users to build trust in your app.

2) Dark Mode

One of the major updates the iOS devices are getting is dark mode. It is one of the most talked additions about the newer version. If you are thinking how will it affect your app, then yes it will and it will very much. As a developer, your app must be able to change the white background into the black. If you can do that, it can be a great marketing tactic. Not every app and not every developer is acquainted with this feature and talent. The users will be thrilled to see their app changing colors.

3) iPad OS

This is something new for the users and iOS developers. Apple has announced an entirely new version for the iPad. Apple intended to have a whole different set of features for iPad and for that they designed a whole new OS. If you are into developing iPad only apps, new OS is something you need to learn.

4) Siri

Siri has become more popular than ever and people have started using Siri more than ever. So, if your mobile app doesn’t take Siri commands, there are fair chances of it getting thrown in the competition. It’s time to upgrade your app and integrate the Siri commands.

5) Login With Apple

Till date, you must have heard login with Google or login with Facebook. But, now you will be able to login with Apple as well. However, there are some minor changes in logging in with Apple. The user can either login with face ID or with Touch ID detection or with the Apple ID credentials. Also, the essential thing to note here is that the Apple review team will check this functionality in any new app submitted to the Apple app store. Login with the Apple button has to be the first in the social sign-in options. So, iOS developers you better start working on it.
