First of all, I think the forum and moderation team makes a great effort to keep discussions productive and keep them from devolving and getting off topic, and I think they’re doing an excellent job.
Second of all, if you want more information about new features in iOS 14, like the introduction of the new photo picker in iOS 14 with new privacy controls, there are untold numbers of resources on the internet that cover what’s new in every version of iOS. I would recommend starting with Apple’s own release notes.
Third of all, I am happy to hear that you don’t want to be a beta tester. If you wish to follow the github, it’s at https://github.com/inaturalist/inaturalistios. You can create a github account and watch/star the repo and get notifications about all checkins and changes to the codebase. Please note that github issues and comments are strictly for development and implementation details, not for general feedback or advice. That’s what this forum is for.
