You can now access the new Format menu and other

options from the predictive QuickType bar.

THE MAIL APP has become

a much more functional and

powerful tool with every

upgrade, and iOS 13 brings

some amazing new features.

Apple has now ported over the Format

menu from its iWork suite on iOS,

enabling you to change fonts, format text,

add indents and bullet points, and pick

from nearly 100 colors, all from a single

easy–to–access menu. And there’s now

Do more with Mail in iOS 13

Edit fonts, add drawings, and do much more with new tools in the Mail app

support for third–party fonts, so you can

really customize your mails and make

them stand out.

QUICKER ACCESS

iOS 13 also adds shortcuts to access the

gallery, camera, Files app, document

scanner, and sketches from the predictive

QuickType bar at the top of your keyboard.

Tap the arrow on the right side of the bar,

or swipe left on the bar to see these

options. You can still access them as you

would in previous iOS versions — by

double–tapping to highlight a word, or

triple–tapping to highlight a sentence to

bring up the formatting options.

Apple’s also added several new gestures

to iOS and iPadOS. A three–Ľnger pinch

copies text; spreading three Ľngers back

out pastes text. Doing the copy gesture

twice will cut text. You can also swipe left

with three Ľngers to undo, and swipe

right to redo. Naturally, all these gestures

are a little easier to use on a larger iPad

screen, but they can be used on the

iPhone as well. SRIVATS LAKSHMAN
