Apple launches iOS/iPadOS 13.4 official versions
Apple released iOS and iPadOS 13.4, the latest major update to the iOS 13 operating system released in September. To get updates, go to Settings> General> Software Update on a supported iOS device. At the same time, Apple also released iOS 12.4.6 for older iPhones, an update that adds security.
iOS and iPadOS 13.4 bring several important new features to the iPhone and iPad. Most notably, the iPad OS 13.4 update introduces mouse and trackpad support for the iPad to achieve higher accuracy and improved navigation operations. The iOS mail app has introduced a new toolbar from this version, which can be used when viewing emails, and the updated design has a more reasonable layout.
iCloud Folder Sharing is included in iOS 13.4 and is designed to let users share iCloud Drive folders with others. Last year, WWDC originally announced iCloud Folder Sharing as a feature of iOS 13, but it took Apple several months to implement it. This feature allows files to sync between the devices of everyone who has access to a particular folder.
