Apple launches iOS 14 official version

After a period of testing, Apple released the official version of iOS 14. Supported iPhone/iPad can go to the software update settings to check for upgrades.

The main functions and improvements brought by iOS 14 include restriction of ad tracking, microphone usage tips, the addition of widgets to the desktop, and addition of APP library storage applications.

Aside from functional improvements, the highlight should be privacy policy improvement. Apple hopes to allow users to better protect their privacy from being tracked by ad networks.

However, if you are looking for stability, it is recommended that you do not upgrade for the time being. It is not too late to wait for the Apple iOS 14.x series version to fix known issues before upgrading.
