Many Exciting New Features

While we are all in lockdown I have been keeping my Xero accreditation up to date by learning about the new updates which have been released recently, and those due over the next couple of months ...

  • Music producers across the world already use Logic Pro X to create their tracks. It has been used for everything from demo tapes to Grammy Award-winning Logic Pro X 10.5 has some exicting new features. Have a look at the 7 ones that have us giddy about making music tracks with this wonderful tool.
  • Now, a leak has revealed almost all of its exciting new features, including active noise cancellation (ANC) and 3D audio. A teardown of the pre-release version of the Galaxy Buds Pro plugin app has revealed that the upcoming earbuds feature 3D spatial audio for videos, similar to the AirPods Pro.

Ubuntu 20.04: The most exciting new features by Jack Wallen in Software on April 21, 2020, 7:21 AM PST Ubuntu fans, it's that time of the year-the next release is upon us!

One of the great new Xero features is that you can set a credit limit for your customers!

You know, even if you are furloughed you are still able to do training? If you'd like to take the opportunity to learn more about the power of using the more advanced features in Xero then do get in touch and I'll be happy to tutor you.

So what's new?

  • Credit Limits

    You can now add a credit limit to a contact record and then the limit will display on the front of the contact card together with any credit remaining, or if they are over their limit

    You can also view the details by hovering over the customer name after they have been added to your invoices, and in new invoicing, you get an alert if the invoice will push your customer over their credit limit.

  • Mobile App Improvements

    When new features are rolled out for the app sometimes they are available on just android and sometimes just iOS, but then the features are rolled out to all platforms over time.

    • You can attach files to transactions when doing a bank rec on both iOS and android now

    • Creating and saving quotes in Android has an improved look with more auto-entry options making it easier

    • You can now add 'non-reimbursed' expense claims on both platforms, so if you have made a purchase using the company debit or credit card rather than your own, you can enter it and once approved it creates a spent money transaction on the appropriate account

    • There is a new mileage feature which is being improved and developed all the time, so keep checking it out on both platforms to see what you can do

    • CIS invoices can now be raised in both platforms with the CIS deductions being calculated for you too

  • Future developments

    One of the biggest features requested by users is the ability to set up your supplier payments straight out of Xero so you don't have to log into your bank and set them up yourself. Xero has partnered with Transferwise and this will allow an automated bill payment solution direct from within Xero itself.

    There will be three tiers of pricing for this extra service depending on the number of transactions you need to arrange in a month. The more you need, the cheaper the cost per transaction will be.

    This is currently being trialled by a limited amount of users and will be rolled out over the next few months to Xero users around the world.

Apple recently released iOS 14.2 and iPadOS 14.2. The updates are chockfull of new features, including a few that integrate with the company's HomePod smart speakers. This second major update to iOS 14 and iPadOS 14 was released two weeks after the rollout of iOS 14.1. Continue reading to learn about 11 Exciting New Features and Changes in iOS 14.2.

New Emojis

iOS 14.2 and iPadOS 14.2 have thirteen new emoji characters, including a smiling face with a tear, a ninja, pinched fingers, an anatomical heart, a bell pepper, and more. There are also new animals such as a black cat, a mammoth, a polar bear, and the much-loved, but now extinct, dodo bird. Including variations, there are over 100 new emoji in total.

New Wallpapers

Apple has eight new wallpapers that include both artistic scenes and realistic natural scenes. There also are new wallpaper choices for dark and light mode.

Updated Apple Watch App

Apple updated the icon for the Apple Watch app to reflect the company's latest Apple Watch Series 6 and Watch SE options. The new Apple Watch icon does away with the typical clasp band and replaces it with the Solo Loop band.

Apple Card History Tracking

Use the Apple Card to make purchases and want to track your yearly spending habits? Well, now you can in iOS 14.2. Previously, users could only view their spending on a weekly or monthly basis. The new interface also lets users track the Daily Cash they've earned on their purchases.

Optimized Battery Charging for Apple AirPods

AirPods owners may see improved battery performance over the life of their device thanks to the new optimized battery charging Apple added to iOS 14.2. The feature monitors your usage habits and optimizes the battery charging cycle. The goal is to minimize the wear and tear on the battery and increase available power right when you need it.

iPad Gets A14 Camera Support

All A14-equipped iPad Air owners can now use scene detection, a camera feature that identifies objects in your surroundings to improve the quality of the resulting photo. The update also adds Auto FPS, which will enhance low light videos by reducing the frame rate of the video as it is being recorded.

Features

People Detection

People detection is a new accessibility feature that uses the camera to judge the distance to another person. It can be helpful for those with eyesight problems to maintain a safe social distance.

Music Recognition

Apple added a new music recognition feature to the Control Center. You can turn on Apple's Shazam music recognition feature using a toggle in settings. Once enabled, music recognition is available all the time from the control center. You can simply open the control center and tap the Shazam icon to fire up music recognition.

Now Playing Widget and AirPlay Interface

The newly refreshed 'Now Playing' widget in the Control Center now lists recently played albums. This list appears when there is no music playing, giving you the chance to revisit some of your most recent tunes. Also, a new AirPlay interface lets you easily select multiple AirPlay 2 compatible devices at the same time.

Personal Update

Personal Update is a new Siri feature similar to the daily briefing Amazon added to its Echo devices. The personal update feature gathers the information that is relevant to you and compiles it into a short minute or two blurb. The news bulletin can include the local weather, your calendar events, and other relevant news. It generates the information using your HomePod speaker and supports the multi-user feature, so a blurb can be tailor-made for a specific user.

Intercom
