Meet iOS 17! The most elaborate mobile operating system has become even more functional, customizable, and extraordinary, helping you make everything easier from working to playing Legacy of Dead. It gets more interactive home screen widgets, and a special standby mode, to name just a few. Here are the top features.
Interactive Home Screen Widgets
The iPhone home screen widgets have been a real revelation in recent years. They have changed the way you interact with your mobile device and allowed you to open certain apps less to access the most important information from them.
The one feature that has been sorely lacking has been interactive features – the ability to perform a certain action without having to navigate directly to the app. iOS 17 fixes this by giving developers the ability to add buttons, toggle switches and other elements to them.
A New “Journal” App for Memories
Not only has iOS 17 redesigned many of the bundled apps, the operating system has also received new ones. One of them turned out to be “Journal”, which gives you the opportunity to record your positive memories, supplementing them with visual content, text and more.
The work of this app, as well as many others in the system, is based on the active use of neural networks. It uses artificial intelligence to tell the user which events are worth recording. To do this, it takes a stream of photos, workouts, and other data.
Personal and Work Profiles for the Safari Browser
An important new feature in Safari in iOS 17 is profiles, which help you separate your web surfing based on directionality. Besides web browsing history, this applies to extensions used, tab groups, saved files, bookmarks, and more.
You can, for example, create separate profiles for personal and professional use, so that in the future you don’t get confused with purely entertainment or development information, as well as work tabs. This innovation should prove popular.
Standby Mode With a Lot of Useful Information
An interesting feature of iOS 17 was a convenient standby mode, which can automatically turn on when the iPhone is in the horizontal orientation and is connected to a power source. This is especially logical when the device is placed on a MagSafe-enabled dock.
In standby mode, a wide variety of widgets from both the operating system’s standard software suite and third-party developers are shown on the iPhone’s horizontal screen. Besides the standard clock and calendar here, for example, you can see the progress of food delivery.
Customizing the Caller’s Call Screen
After installing iOS 17 iPhone owners have the opportunity to create as personal images-avatars, which will be displayed on other Apple smartphones during incoming calls. Thus, communication can be made even more diverse and personalized.
Each such image can contain a photo, stickers, Memoji, text and any other visual content. It will help to show your personality, to show and show yourself 100%. Every call will prove to be more anticipated, interesting and fun.
Lots of Fresh Features for “Messages”
Apple continues to make its “Messages” the most convenient way to correspond with colleagues, coworkers, family and friends. Photos, audio messages, location data, and, of course, text – it’s getting easier and easier to do it all with this app.
Among the latest innovations of the app, including the automatic transfer of messages to the interlocutor in a given geolocation. In this way, for example, it’s convenient to show him that you’ve successfully got home after evening get-togethers with friends or other events.
Creating Custom Stickers for All Apps
One of the past revisions of the iPhone software included the ability to automatically recognize objects in images and automatically cut them out of them using neural networks. This proved to be a handy way to paste them into Notes and other apps.
In iOS 17, this feature has been logically developed. Now it will be possible to cut stickers from your own photos and other images, which can be used in any app that supports the usual Emoji. Stickers will prove to be another handy tool to express yourself.
