iOS 14 will finally let you add captions to your photos

While the main event of the event happened on Monday, Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) took place throughout the week, slowly revealing more and more features appearing in updates. Apple software later this year. One of the features of iOS 14 not specifically mentioned by Apple in its speech was the ability to set a default browser and email client, and now there's another one to talk about: being able to set captions on photos. You can classify these as features that have been in demand for a long time and that Apple hasn't quite managed to add yet, but this should be rolling out to iPhones (and we're assuming iPads) in or around September. As MacRumors reports, here's how it'll work: You'll be able to swipe up whenever you see a single photo, which will reveal the caption field. You can use the location information attached to the image to help you compose a caption, if necessary.

The waiting game

While captions were previously accessible through the Photos interface in macOS, this required digging to access them, so its introduction on the iPhone will be a welcome one for many users. The other improvements to the Photos app in iOS 14 are mostly related to the interface, this should make browsing and playing Live Photos simpler and more intuitive. While a developer preview is now available for app creators, the rest of us will have to wait until July if we want to try out the public beta, which is at your own risk. No specific date has been mentioned for the full release of iOS 14, but it should be around September. Other changes to Apple's mobile operating system for iPhone include widgets for the Home screen, picture-in-picture mode, a new way to sort installed apps, a more compact design for Siri, and much more.
