Apple iOS 11: What Did You Miss?

Extended battery life is also expected to play a big part in the new handset, which Apple is rumoured to launch in September to mark the 10th anniversary of the best-selling smartphone range.

Another cool feature of iOS 11 is the Apple Pencil, which you can use to draw on your iPad, take screenshots, sign and takes notes in your handwriting.

The podcast app in iOS is not great. Take stock of your existing iOS app deployments now to ensure critical software isn’t impacted by the change.

Furthermore, another user named Dave Schukin revealed that the drag and drop feature for iPhone is coming with iOS 11. (List of supported devices).

Apple is also starting to phase out 32-bit support for the Mac, telling developers at WWDC that Mac OS High Sierra would be the last to have 32-bit capability “without compromises”.

Until now, third parties have not been able to use the tech on the iPhone. It will also offer the iPad a chance to share the password for the WiFi network with this new device. Users will have the option to permit such apps to collect data from them.

For the feature to work, both iOS devices need to by physically close to one another – and need to unlocked, 9To5Mac reports.

But otherwise, even if an app is now shown as having problems with iOS 11, there’s every chance it will still get that life-saving update. “Customers can find your business and start conversations from Safari, Maps, Spotlight, and Siri“. Even better, it’ll be on the devices that people already use – not futuristic glasses or headsets.

If there’s really no sign or hope of an update for an affected app, the good news is that the App Store is huge, and in most cases there will be alternatives you can turn to instead. With iOS 11, users will be able to perform the actions on the Settings menu itself.

In iOS 10 and previous versions, users had to delete the app and reinstall it without the relevant data and documents to free up some storage space.

It’s only been a couple of days since Apple introduced the next version of iOS and already there’s a lot to look forward to. On this page, there is an option called “Offload Unused Apps“, as spotted by Cydia Geeks. These include Dropbox and Box, but also include Microsoft’s OneDrive. This will warn users when they receive an SMS message that could be fraudulent, creating an additional layer of defence against phishing and ID attacks. AR-enabled iPhones will mostly mean some cool games and entertainment apps at first. So final conclusions can not be made at this point in time. The feature is a welcome addition to iOS as it opens the door for so much more on the device.
