Wifi password sharingĪnother feature that Apple probably didn’t want to make too much of because it’s basically copied from a competitor, iOS 11 now gets the same password-sharing feature that Microsoft introduced with Windows 10. It still lacks many of the features that drive podcast fans to the competition, though, including smart high-speed mode, and streaming playback. That might change with the new Podcast app in iOS 11, though, which gets an Apple Music-style visual overhaul. It’s one of the few areas where there’s strong demand for third-party versions – consider how few people use a third-party photo storage app) – such as podcast apps like Overcast, Castro and Pocket Casts.

On the minus side, Facebook and Twitter integration in particular has been very useful for apps that use the social networks for federated login: expect to have to spend a bit more time typing in passwords once iOS 11 drops.Īpple is removing most of the social network integration from iOS 11.

On the plus side, that means that smaller networks can compete on equal terms, rather than having to deal with the fact that a few sharing services, like Vimeo and Flickr, get priority. RIP Facebook and TwitterĬhalk the silence on this change up to “not likely to be well received”: Apple’s removing most of the social network integration from iOS 11, resetting the board for app integrations. Screenshooting has been available on iOS since day one – indeed, the way a niche developer tool became one of the most important OS features in the social media age is a tale in itself – but now you’ll be able to do the same thing with video. You can now record your screen, and save the resulting video to your camera roll. This one’s useful for all the videographers in the room – and those who just want to share clips of games on Facebook.

That suggests that the new Core NFC framework will still have some restrictions – preventing, for instance, tap-to-pair bluetooth functionality that Android users are used to – but iPhone users will now get to experience the questionable joy of tapping their phone on more things than just payment terminals. On iPhones 7 and up – no word as to why the 6 and 6S aren’t supported – developers will now be able to read data from the NFC chip, and use it “to give users more information about their physical environment and the real-world objects in it”. The tech has been built into the phones since 2014, to enable contactless Apple Pay transactions, but it’s not been opened up to other uses until now. If you’re an iPhone user, you likely haven’t had much experience with Near Field Communications.

The company also introduced iOS in the Car, giving users an improved way to control their device while they drive without having to look at their iPhone. Of course, Siri has also been updated with more voice commands, such as “Turn on Bluetooth” or “Increase my brightness.” The company said Siri now has a new voice and users can also choose a male voice if they’d prefer. Siri, Apple’s voice assistant, has been redesigned as well. The company has improved the camera app in iOS 7, adding filters that can be used on pictures and a new square mode so users can take pictures that come cropped into the square shape used on Instagram, the popular photo-sharing app.The Photos app has also been improved to automatically organize pictures by when and where they were taken. Apple also is introducing AirDrop, a feature that lets them quickly send files to other devices and users that are in their vicinity.
