Your iPhone is about to get a whole lot more useful.

TLDR:

  1. Advanced search in Messages
  2. Your iPhone can read laundry symbols
  3. Figure out the meaning of warning lights in your car
  4. Cropping photos is a lot easier
  5. Make the most of interactive widgets
  6. Listen to articles instead of reading them
  7. Easily share passwords with your family members
  8. Ping your Apple Watch from your iPhone
  9. Set up a separate search engine for incognito mode
  10. Reset forgotten passcodes
  11. Automatically delete one-time passwords
  12. Remove tracking information from links
  13. Adjust the speed of haptic touch

    Your iPhone can read laundry symbols

    Okay, I don’t have an iphone, but if I did that would make my life a lot easier.

    Also, what about sideloading of apps? Is that a thing in iOS 17 now?

        Annoying, but as long as they do it I’ll be pleased. I’m hoping this’ll also mean that we’ll get some browsers that aren’t Safari in a trench coat.

      Well technically you can install 3rd party apps using AltStore since iOS 14 (?). It’s a hassle to set up and you have to be at home every week (it needs to be at same network with your pc). But you don’t need rooting!!!

      And since I sideload only YouTube and YouTube music (same apps as I had sideloaded with android) and I after Covid still don’t travel for longer than 1 week.

      (Yes, I lost bet and I had to start using iPhone for two years)

          Oh sorry! My comment was a bit vague, meant the feature which recognises symbols and such (visual look up?).

            Aah, I see. No worries. Just a slight misunderstanding. :)

            Bit of a shame really, that feature seems like it’d be really useful. Especially given my lack of knowledge regarding laundry.
