Apple has recently launched its second major update iOS 16.2, and it comes with several improved features. One of the newly added features is the Freeform app. It is an app specially developed for creators. It helps you to visually lay out and organize your content on a flexible canvas. This allows you to see, collaborate, and share all in one place without worrying about page sizes and layouts.
Freeform app is mainly designed for collaboration purposes. It makes it easier for users to invite others to work with them on a board. Not only that, but you can also collaborate with others on a FaceTime call.
Freeform boards are saved in iCloud for easy access across devices. You can add and preview a wide range of files on the board to work on it.
Perfect Collaboration Space for Creators
With Freeform you cannot only collaborate with others but also manage standalone projects at home or on the go. It gives you the ability to collaborate with up to 100 people on the same board. It provides a common place to share your creativity for event planning, group projects, and more.
Freeform allows you to invite other collaborators using the collaborator features in Messages. All you have to do is drag the Freeform board into a Messages thread. This will automatically invite all the members in that particular thread. If someone edits the board, it will be updated at the top of the Messages thread.
It has integrated FaceTime that allows you to collaborate with others while being on a FaceTime call. All the changes and edits can be viewed by all the collaborators, while iCloud offers fast-synchronization options. You can sync Freeform boards across iOS devices as well as Mac. Additionally, you can take a screenshot, invite others via email, or export a board in PDF format.
Canvas Designed For Endless Creativity
Freeform provides a true whiteboard experience to creators. You can move around on the board using the in-built gestures.
The app comes with a wide variety of color options and brush styles. You can take advantage of these things to add comments, draw diagrams, and sketch ideas.
With the Freeform canvas, iOS users get the ability to draw on the go. You can use your fingers or use an Apple Pencil to show your creativity on the board.
Freeform has support for a large variety of videos, files, photos, documents, website links, PDFs, sticky notes, map location links, diagrams, shapes, and more. That’s not all, you can use your device’s camera to scan documents or scan images, and add them to the board.
The app has a huge collection of shapes. It allows you to modify the size and color, create custom shapes, and add text. The drag-and-drop feature can be used to drag content from other apps onto the Freeform board. Quick Look allows users to preview their content without exiting the board. Content like PDFs and images can be locked on the board, so others can annotate the object.
Freeform is the ideal tool for sketching ideas and collaborating with others. With its wide range of features, you can make visual collaboration easier than ever before. It provides a common place to collaborate, see, and share.
