Apple’s iOS 17, set to launch in September, promises to bring a host of new features and improvements to enhance the user experience on iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch. From improved autocorrect functionality to innovative communication features, it is committed to providing its customers with cutting-edge technology. Here’s a closer look at some of the exciting features coming with iOS 17.
Leave messages on FaceTime
In the age of video chat, Apple is introducing a new feature that allows iPhone users to leave video voice messages for other FaceTime users. If a call goes unanswered, users can now record a video message and the recipient will receive a notification. This functionality brings the concept of voicemail into the realm of video chat, adding a new level of convenience to communication.
Autocorrect improvements
Autocorrect has been a double-edged sword for many users, often leading to embarrassing or frustrating moments. However, iOS 17 aims to mitigate these mishaps with improved autocorrect functionality. Apple has integrated a more advanced language model that enhances word prediction and learns from commonly mistyped words. This means fewer autocorrect errors and a smoother typing experience.
Live voicemail transcription
One of the dilemmas many iPhone users face is whether to answer an incoming call or let it go to voicemail. With iOS 17, Apple introduces live voicemail transcriptions. As voicemails are being recorded, users can see real-time transcriptions on their iPhone lock screens. This feature helps users quickly assess the content of the voicemail and make informed decisions about answering or returning the call.
Live stickers
Adding a touch of fun to conversations, Apple introduces live stickers with iOS 17. Users can now turn their photos of family, friends, and pets into stickers with a simple touch. These stickers can be customized with different effects and are easily accessible from a new sticker drawer. They serve as playful additions to chats, allowing users to express themselves in a creative and personalized way.
Tap-to-share features
Sharing content between these devices is made effortless with iOS 17. The Namedrop feature enables contact information sharing between two iPhones or between an iPhone and an Apple Watch. This makes it easy to exchange contact details with a simple tap. Additionally, a tap-to-share gesture allows users to seamlessly share music, videos, photos, and other content between their Apple devices. This feature streamlines the sharing process and enhances the collaborative aspect of using multiple Apple devices.
