Apple's iOS 14 has a feature that checks the Air Quality in the environment, and they saw the potential in that last 2020. Through the said Weather app, those who want to see the air quality index within a particular location can have an idea if the air that they breathe is healthy or not. However, not everyone around the world has access to this exclusive feature.
This year, the Cupertino giant plans for an expansion of it to other countries which previously do not have the Weather App trademark.
'Air Quality Feature in iOS 14.7 Could Reach Out Few More Regions This 2021
Apple saw the potential of an iOS 14 feature that checks the Air Quality in the environment.
According to Cult of Mac's report on Thursday, May 20, several Twitter and Reddit users claimed that Apple's iOS 14.7 beta can bring the Air Quality feature to more nations through the Weather app in the iPhone.
People all over the social media platforms said that the cities that will receive the Weather App feature are Spain, France, Italy, and the Netherlands. Some even said that the Air Quality tool is now available in North America, particularly in Canada.
As a glimpse of the kind of air that we breathe in the United States, the reported Air Quality Index (AQI) recorded 0 to 500 range. This means that when the numbers are higher, the air quality is considered unhealthy for humans. That being said, better air quality accounts to lower numbers in the air quality index range.
If you have an iPhone, you can visibly see the information written on the Weather App's colored bar. You can also discern the feature if you are using Apple Maps.
At the moment, the iOS 14.7 update is still under development. However, for those who use the Home app on their Apple devices like Mac, iPad, and iPhone, you can enjoy a new Home app feature that allows you to set and stop a timer.
Currently, there is no official answer yet from Apple regarding the release date of the iOS 14.7 patch to the users.
Apple's Weather Forecast App Drew Flaks in UK
There are times that instead of an app providing substantial and "correct" information to the public, it produces a wrong forecast like in the case of what happened in the UK.
According to the users, Apple's Weather Forecast app predicted that rain is about to come. However, what happened is far from its prediction, Express UK reported.
In addition, there are reports that the feature had started from the Weather App's Dark Sky, which had been shut down in July 2020. There were claims that the Weather app told the people that snow or rain would arrive in a few hours. Using the data gathered from the "The Met Office," the UK weather forecast suggested the "next-hour precipitation forecast," but this did not sound well for the complaining users.
According to one Twitter user, the Apple Weather app seems to be a joke this time. Another user from the same platform said that the forecast reveals a "100 % chance of whole-day raining," yet the Sun was out all day long.
"Has Apple Weather changed the way it displays the forecast recently,?" another social media user shared.
