KOMPAS.com – Apple officially released its newest UI/user interface for iPhone devices, namely iOS 17 at the 2023 Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) which was held online on Tuesday (6/6/2023) early morning WIB.

This iOS 16 successor comes with a number of new things that can make it easier for users to use their iPhone for daily activities. One of the new ones is a brand-new application called Journal.

Autocorrect is smarter

Apart from Journal and Standby Mode, iOS 17 also comes with a number of updates to several pre-existing apps including an improved autocorrect feature on the keyboard.

NameDrop

AirDrop on iOS 17 can now be used to send contacts. This technology is called NameDrop.

Users can send a personalized Contact Poster with the chosen e-mail address and phone number, to another person by simply bringing two iPhones closer together. NameDrop also supports Apple Watch.

Photos and videos can also be shared in the same way. And if a user receives a large file via AirDrop, they can now leave the AirDrop range, and the file download will continue over Wi-Fi.

Series without “Hey”

iPhone users can now summon Siri’s virtual assistant more quickly. Now, instead of saying “Hey Siri”, users can just say “Siri”.

To make things even easier, users can now give back-to-back Siri commands without having to say “Siri” every time to provide a new input.

FaceTime Voicemail

Then, Apple also presents the FaceTime Voicemail feature which allows users to send short videos to other users so that their video calls (video calls) aka FaceTime are picked up.
