iOS 17: What You Can Expect
With the launch of iOS 17, Apple is bringing a series of innovations to its mobile devices.
One of the most visible changes is the user interface update, which brings a cleaner and more modern design. This includes redesigned icons and an improved notifications bar. The user experience should be more intuitive and pleasant.

Live Voicemail
Live Voicemail
For starters, Apple’s iOS 17 brings the Live Voicemail feature, which means you don’t need to answer when an unknown number is calling – the phone will do it for you and display live scrolling text of what the person is saying, so you can easily decide if it’s worth talking to her. Calls identified as spam by carriers will not appear as Live Voicemail and will be instantly declined. Transcription is handled completely on the device.
New customizable call screen

Additionally, we have the new customizable call screen, which Apple calls Contact Posters. You can change how they appear and choose beautiful treatments for photos or Memoji, adding “flashy typography” and font colors. This works in third-party apps too and is used when you want to share contact details with someone via a new feature called NameDrop – it’s as easy as tapping the phones together (or an iPhone and an Apple Watch) and the contact cards are exchanged. Also related to sharing, SharePlay can now share a simultaneous music/video stream across two devices. It will also allow you to stream music to playback units via the owner’s iPhone.
More Features for FaceTime

FaceTime now supports leaving audio and video messages when you call someone and they are unavailable. FaceTime calls also receive Video Reactions: hearts, balloons, fireworks, laser beams, rain and more. These are activated with simple gestures and will be supported in third-party apps as well.

The Journal app is new in iOS 17 and is, as the name suggests, all regarding journaling, which Apple says “has been shown to improve well-being” if you “reflect and practice gratitude” for middle of it. Suggestions for what to write regarding are curated from your recent activity, including photos, people, places, and exercises, making it easy to start an entry.
Keyboard and Messaging Enhancements
The keyboard gets a new AI-enhanced autocorrect, inline predictions, and a new speech recognition model. All these features are naturally aimed at improving the typing experience. iMessage improves search abilities with filters, a swipe-to-reply function, the ability to transcribe voice messages, support for real-time in-app location updates, improved emoji stickers, and Live Stickers with themes taken from photos.
Security Check
Check In is a new security feature that takes over the responsibility of checking in with family members when you’re traveling. It works like this: once you initiate a Check In, a friend or family member will automatically be notified when you arrive at your destination. If you’re not making progress toward your destination, the selected contact will receive your device’s location, battery level, and cellular service status.
StandBy Mode and Other Features
Modo StandBy
StandBy is what Apple calls the new full-screen experience that appears when you want to use your iPhone on a nightstand, in the kitchen, or at a table in landscape mode. Shows beautiful clocks, favorite photos or widgets, including Smart Stacks, which present the right widgets at the right time. There is also support for Live Activities, Siri, incoming calls, and larger notifications for easier usability when viewed from a distance.
iPadOS 17: Tablet Improvements
iPadOS 17 also offers notable improvements for iPad owners. Newer tablets like the iPad (2018), iPad Air (2019), iPad mini (2019), and iPad Pro (2018) will benefit from these updates.
One of the main changes is improvements to multitasking. Now you’ll be able to more easily switch between apps and even run multiple instances of the same app in separate windows. This will make using your iPad even more productive.
Additionally, Apple is introducing new stylus features, enhancing the experience for those using Apple Pencil. Accuracy and sensitivity have been improved, making it a more powerful tool for drawing and note-taking.
In summary, both iOS 17 and iPadOS 17 bring a host of exciting improvements and features to Apple devices. However, it’s important to remember that some older models will no longer be supported, so it’s time to consider an upgrade if you’re using an older device.
