The top five new features of iOS 17
In this Aetna article, quoted by MacRumors, we will have a brief overview of some of the expected features in iOS 17, which is scheduled to be released this fall.
1) live voicemailLive Voicemail) – Voicemail is one of the functions that some users are not even aware of its existence. With iOS 17, when someone calls and leaves a voicemail, you can see the transcript live on the lock screen. If he has something important to say, you can directly call him right away.
2) standby – Standby is similar to Nightstand mode for Apple Watch. When you place your phone on the charger in landscape orientation, this feature goes full-screen to display information such as the calendar, clock, weather details, and even live activity. This feature works best with the iPhone 14 Pro’s always-on display, but you have to touch the screen to activate it on older iPhones.
3) WidgetTheInteractive – The widgets on the home screen and lock screen become interactive, which makes them much more useful. You can turn off reminders, control music playback, activate HomeKit devices, and more without opening the app.
4) Keyboard updates Autocorrect uses a new machine learning model that can better predict what you’re about to say. You can complete words faster and in some cases complete sentences by just tapping the spacebar. In the new version, when a word is corrected, it will be underlined, and if the autocorrect makes a mistake, you can tap it to go back to the original word you typed.
5) FaceTime on Apple TV – If you’ve ever wanted a bigger screen for FaceTime, you’re in luck, because with iOS 17 and tvOS 17, you can use FaceTime on Apple TV. With Continuity Camera, you can connect your iPhone to Apple TV using the iPhone camera for FaceTime to display the image on the larger TV screen. All the usual FaceTime features (like Center Stage) work in this mode too, and it’s a great structure for calling multiple people. FaceTime on Apple TV works with new FaceTime effects that let you activate hearts, balloons, laser beams, and rain with gestures.
Of course, the new features of iOS 17 do not end there. For example, a notable new feature is AppJournal, which will soon be added to iOS 17. This app was not included in the list because it is not part of the initial version of iOS 17. The Journal app lets you record your thoughts and activities every day, and then inspires you with notifications provided by Apple.
