An overview of the new features:
- Mentions: Type a name to direct a message to someone. When you are mentioned, your name is highlighted. You can customize an active group so you only receive notifications when you are mentioned.
- Pinned conversations: Pin up to nine conversations to the top of your conversation list for easy access to them.
- Inline replies: Reply directly to a specific message in a group conversation. You can view replies in the full conversation or as their own thread for a more focused view.
- Group photos: Give your group conversation a visual identity by adding a photo or Memoji, or choose an emoji.
- New Memoji styles and stickers: New age and face covering options, plus over 20 new hair and headwear styles.
iOS 14 is available in beta for registered Apple developers today, with a public beta to follow next month. The free software update will be released in the fall for the iPhone 6s and newer.
