Hey 👋,

The week has been going great with plenty of announcements from WWDC 21. I really loved all the new features in iOS, macOS and iPad OS. But as an honest user, I think I would use only these features in my day-to-day flow:

  • Focus feature throughout the Apple ecosystem.

  • Redesigned Safari Tabs

  • Live Text in Photos

  • Quick Note

  • App Library and Widgets on Home Screen on iPadOS

  • Notification summary

  • Universal Control

  • Airplay to Mac

  • Low power mode on macOS.

Let's talk a bit about Android. Google have released Android 12 beta 2 which includes much needed Privacy Dashboard, Mic and Camera indicators, Microphone & Camera toggles, Clipboard read notification and more intuitive connectivity experience. Read more about Android 12 beta 2 here. It's good to see everyone is moving towards more privacy.
