iOS 8 will allow you to use functions of some apps in others

During the Apple Developer Conference, the well-known WWDC 2014 , their managers have had time to talk about the important improvements around the applications And it is that Apple has presented a new version of its operating system, the iOS 8, which will allow control of the tools installed in the terminal that goes beyond the limits of what has been seen so far.All this thanks to what they have called Extensibility, or the possibility of using extensions or functions of some applications in others

Despite all the efforts of Apple and other companies to develop the concept of multitasking to allow users to jump from one application to another comfortably, this idea continued without satisfying the experience of working with content across multiple applications comfortably and pleasantly. That is why the extensions appear in iOS 8 to allow, from the same application, to use the functionalitiesand other tools. Something that surprised you during the developer conference.

The question is simple. This is to allow iOS 8 to be able to connect multiple applications and use the commented ones extensions of one or the other when working on a tool.Something that allows you to use the translation capabilities of a separate service while browsing foreign web pages, or that offers new editing tools to a photo application. Issues that could revolutionize the smartphone user experience and tablet as it is known today in day.

During the presentation they did not hesitate to demonstrate the capabilities of the concept of Extensibility Thus, using the Internet browser Safari, you can open the extensions tab in the upper right corner and choose from other applications and services. Among them, during the conference, was Bing Translator, owned by Microsoft With just mark this element the text of the web page that was being consulted, and that was in Asian characters, was translated into English in just a few seconds.Just like the Google translator in the Chrome browser, but using two applications in this case.

Another of the experiences taught in the conference had to do with photos In this way, when editing a photo from the applicationiOS 8 Photos, the manager of Apple was able to select the option Edit and choose the application VSCOcam With this the options to modify the appearance of a photograph are multiplied, allowing you to choose between the filters, formats, frames and tools of this second application. All of this taking into account that, after applying these effects and finishing editing, the user is again faced with the application starting with the retouched photograph, ready to be stored or shared.

In short, a concept that, if it works as shown in the presentation, could change the use experience on smartphones and tablets A way for the workflow to not end where the functions of an application leave off. All this adapting to other issues such as the widgets or shortcuts that iOS 8 will include in your notification center. Much more than just buttons that offer functionality from outside the application. Something to thank extensions or Extensibility Issue that will arrive in the fall together with iOS 8
