My 3 main takeaways from the WWDC21 keynote held on Monday, June 7th, 2021
Between Monday, June 7th and Friday, June 11th, 2021, Apple held its annual worldwide developer conference (WWDC) fully online, like last year.
In case you don’t know, the first day is always kicked off with a presentation called the “Keynote”, during which Tim Cook, (the CEO) and his team paint a picture of what is coming up in the world of Apple.
This session was jam-packed with information about the next versions of the operating system running on iPhone, iPad, the Mac and Apple Watch.
Because I understand that you may not have the time to watch the replay of the keynote, I’ve prepared a short summary with my 3 main takeaways:
The overlap between iOS, iPadOS and macOS is increasing
The penny finally dropped that humans are social beings
iPadOS is still more iOS than macOS

How to save space and reduce distractions with "app offloading"
Did you know that it's possible to remove an app while keeping its documents and data intact with iOS 11?
As explained in my previous post, this feature is called app offloading.
It allows to temporarily save local storage space on your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch, without losing any data along the way.
This is especially useful for devices with only 8 GB or 16 GB of local storage space.

2 steps to start organising your photos and videos on your iPhone/iPad
Since iOS 8, it’s easier to organise photos and videos, thanks to the possibility to create both “Folders” and “Albums” in the Photos app:
Folders:
can contain albums and other folders
- cannot contain pictures or videos
- are recognisable by their 4 thumbnails (2x2 square)
Albums:
- can only contain pictures or videos
- cannot contain folders or other albums
- only show 1 thumbnail (key photo)
How to delete shared photo albums on iPhone & iPad
What were previously called “Shared Photo Streams” are now referred to as “Shared Albums” which are part of a service called “iCloud Photo Sharing”.
To turn on or off iCloud Photo Sharing on a iPhone or iPad connected to an iCloud account:
- Open “Settings”
- Tap on “Photos & Camera”
- Toggle “iCloud Photo Sharing” on or off
