NotLiveText brings iOS 15’s Live Text feature to the Photos app on jailbroken iOS 14 handsets
Note-taking is a useful skill, but let’s admit it, we’ve all been in some type of time-related pinch in which it was more convenient to simply launch the Camera app and take a picture of something with text on it than it would have been to launch the Notes app and try to type out all the text verbatim.

Loupe brings the magnifying glass back to iOS 14’s text editing experience

Apple made this change because you can now pan the cursor across your body of text by tapping and dragging on the keyboard.

How to wrap text in Numbers to display all your data
If you use text in your Numbers sheets, there may have been a time where that text was hidden by the cell to the right. And while you can select the cell and read the text at the bottom in Numbers on Mac, this isn’t always convenient. Plus, this isn’t an option in Numbers on iPhone or iPad.
