Here’s how these and other new features that were introduced in iOS 17 beta 3 and Public Beta 1 work.

How to take a long screenshot on iPhone

Creation long screenshots on iPhone is not a new feature at all. It appeared back in iOS 13. However, all the restrictions that appeared with the release of that version of the operating system have not gone away. Long screenshot could only be saved as a PDF in Files. Of course, no one forbade you to use the quick command to create them, but these are all crutches. And in iOS 17, this restriction is no longer there. You can save a snapshot of the entire page as an image using standard tools. This is done as follows:

Now a long screenshot can be immediately saved to “Photo

Go to the site you are interested in and take a screenshot; Click on the thumbnail in the bottom left corner; Switch to the “Entire Page” tab and click “Done” in the upper left corner; Select “Save to Photo” from the menu that appears.

Now go to the gallery and see a long screenshot there. It can be easily sent via any messenger or transferred via AirDrop. In some situations, uploading a picture is much more convenient than a PDF document.

Starting with iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max and iPhone XR, Apple smartphones support work with two sim cards. If you think Cupertino has finally gotten to the point of allowing app cloning, you might want to roll your lip. Everything is much more prosaic. Now you can set a different ringtone for each SIMand by the sound it is easy to determine which number you are calling:

It will only be necessary to choose for which SIM card the ringtone is configured

How to choose a SIM for SMS

But ringtones are not the only innovation related to the work of two sim cards. Have you noticed how many different codes for authorization confirmation come to our smartphones? If you have two numbers, you can easily mix them up and enter the wrong code. To avoid this, a special message has been added to the Messages app. sorting incoming messages depending on which SIM card they received:

The main thing – do not forget to turn back the display of messages from all numbers. Otherwise, you may miss something really important.

Quick Actions on iPhone

Apple has been developing Spotlight search, which allows you to find almost any information on the iPhone. I prefer not to scroll through the desktops or the application library, but to launch programs from the search. In iOS 17, Spotlight’s capabilities have been greatly expanded. Now you can activate various application functions directly from the search results. For example, start recording in the voice recorder, create a note or launch Do Not Disturb. It works like this:

Right from the search, you can even turn on the Do Not Disturb mode.

Unlock iPhone and go to desktop; Call the search in any way convenient for you; Start typing the action you want to take. For example, note; In the search results, click on the “New note” button.
