Apple’s new iOS might let user test apps without installing them

According to code reviewed by the website 9to5Mac, Apple's new iOS 14 may let users try out parts of third-party iOS apps without installing.

The functionality is reportedly part of a new API referred to in iOS 14 as "Clips", and will function through QR code. When a user scans a QR code, a card will apparently appear that lets them interact with the parts of an app. The card may also allow users to download a full version of the app from the App Store or, if they already have the app the QR code is previewing. 

This new feature is somewhat similar to the Slices feature on Android, which surfaces parts of an app in search results and loads a tiny version of an app when you tap on a link. However, the reviewed code only mentions integration with QR codes, so it's unclear if Apple plans to integrate the new feature with other parts of iOS.
