Top Features in Apple’s iOS 17 and iPadOS 17: Compatible Devices, Updates
With iOS 17, Apple is introducing several exciting new features that will revolutionize the way we communicate and interact with our devices. One of the most significant updates is the ability to check in with friends or family members when arriving at a destination, which can be particularly useful for loved ones who may be worried about your safety. Additionally, the new “Check In” feature will automatically send location data, battery level, and cell service status to your designated contacts if you don’t respond after a certain period of time.
The update also brings several enhancements to FaceTime, including the ability to leave video or audio messages for those who don’t answer your calls. Moreover, Apple is introducing augmented reality reactions that can be used during calls, allowing you to add a touch of whimsy and fun to your conversations.
Batch editing photos is another exciting feature that allows users to make changes to multiple photos at once, giving their vacation snaps a consistent look. Stickers are also getting a major overhaul, with the ability to create custom stickers from any image and even react to individual message bubbles with a sticker.
Other notable updates include a new “Standby” mode that turns your iPhone into a smart display when charging in landscape mode, and improved autocorrect functionality that uses machine learning to predict words and correct grammatical mistakes. Additionally, Apple is expanding its Communication Safety features to protect children from explicit content and providing users with more control over their device usage.
These are just a few of the many exciting updates coming to iOS 17, which promises to be one of the most significant releases in recent years. With its focus on improved communication, enhanced accessibility, and innovative new features, this update is sure to delight iPhone users around the world.
Google teases new camera-powered AI feature one day ahead of I/O
Google is gearing up for its I/O developer conference by releasing a sneak peek at an innovative new AI feature. The prototype video shows a Pixel device with its camera open, capturing the scene on the keynote stage as it identifies what’s happening in real-time. When asked about the setup, the AI responds that it appears to be a large event, possibly a conference or presentation, and even recognizes the “IO” letters as related to Google’s developer conference. This technology bears some resemblance to Google Lens, but with the added ability to respond to voice commands like Meta’s smart glasses. The fact that the demo is showcased on a Pixel device suggests that this feature might be released on the Pixel lineup first. With just one day left until Google I/O, we’re excited to see more details about this new AI-powered feature during tomorrow’s keynote.
