Explained: What is the new Freeform app for iPhone, Mac and what users can do with it
appeal rolled out the iOS 16.2 and iPad 16.2 OS Update. This is the second major software update since the launch of iOS 16. The latest iOS update brings the long-awaited 5G support for iPhone users in India. Along with this it also adds several important features to the operating system and one such addition is the Freeform app.
The Freeform app for iPhone, iPad and Mac makes visual collaboration easier than ever.
What is the new Freeform app
Apple claims that the Freeform app will help users organize and visually lay out content on a flexible canvas, giving them the ability to view, share and collaborate all in one place without worrying about layouts or page sizes. The application also allows users to add a wide range of files and view them inline as well without leaving the board.
Built for collaboration, the Freeform app also makes it easier for users to invite others to collaborate on board. The app also allows users to collaborate with others, even during a FaceTime call. The Freeform boards are then stored in iCloud, so users can stay in sync across devices.
What the Freeform app can do
Apple claims that the Freeform app offers a perfect whiteboard experience. The whiteboard on the Freeform app also supports gestures that allow users to move and work freely. The app also offers several brush styles and color options.
The iPhone and iPad users can draw anywhere on the canvas with their finger, and with support for Apple Pencil, Freeform makes it easier than ever to sketch ideas on iPad while on the go.
Users are also allowed to drag and drop content from other applications, including Files and Finder, onto the board.
The app also offers a Quick Look feature that allows users to preview content with a double tap without leaving the board. Content like images and PDFs can be pinned to a board, and collaborators can then annotate on top of or around the object—making Freeform the perfect tool for sketching out ideas.
The right collaboration tool for iPhone and iPad users
Freeform comes across as the ideal tool for collaborating with others. With the ability to work with up to 100 collaborators in the same board, Freeform creates a shared space for creativity when working on group projects
Freeform takes advantage of the new collaboration features in Messages, which allow users to invite others to a Freeform board by simply dragging it to a Message thread. All members of that thread will automatically be invited to the boards and can start collaborating immediately. When someone makes an edit, activity updates will appear at the top of the Messages thread.
