Apple has released new versions of the iOS and iPadOS operating systems for the iPhone and iPad line-up. This is part of the larger rollout which also saw the release of iOS 12.4.6 for older iPhones and iPads, tvOS 13.4 for Apple TV, watchOS 6.2 for the Apple Watch and macOS Catalina 10.15.4 for Mac computing devices. The updates for the iPhone and the iPad specifically have been in developer and beta tests for more than a month now. The headline changes for iOS 13.4 and the iPadOS 13.4 include the iCloud Drive Folder sharing option, trackpad support for the iPad line-up when you connect the new Magic keyboard or any trackpad accessory, as well as universal purchases between iOS and macOS that will allow developers to sell both set of apps as a single purchase. The iOS 13.4 And iPadOS 13.4 are now available for download.
The advantage of the iCloud Drive Folder sharing is that you can now share entire folders with others and they will be able to see any changes in contents of the folder and the files within it as they change. Cloud storage apps such as Dropbox already offer this. The Universal app purchases will allow developers to sell iOS and macOS versions of their app as a single purchase—buy an app on the iPhone, for instance, and you will be able to download it on your iMac or MacBook as well for no extra cost. That’s not all. The toolbar in the Mail app now includes Delete, Move, Reply, and Compose options. There are nine new Memoji stickers, including Smiling Face with Hearts, Hands Pressed Together, and Party Face.
