iOS 17 introduced with many new features
After yesterday’s presentation, Apple released the first beta versions of iOS 17 and iPadOS 17 to developers for testing purposes. Beta versions are only available to those with a developer account.
Registered developers can participate in the beta by opening the Settings app, going to Software Update, tapping Beta Updates, and enabling the iOS 16 Developer Beta. An ID is required to download and install the beta The Apple ID associated with the developer account.
iOS 17 is a major update that introduces a custom look for each caller, with the person making the call also able to customize their look. Live voicemail lets you see the transcript of the message in real time, and the voice messages people send in iMessage are now translated to text. You can also record video or audio messages when someone misses your FaceTime call and FaceTime is running on Apple TV using the Continuity feature.
The Messages app has a new interface for a cleaner look, as well as a new Check In feature, which is designed to let your friends and family follow you as you travel. Check In automatically notifies friends or family members when you arrive at your destination, such as home. You can now also share locations directly from the Messages app.
The group chat has an arrow so you can see the first message you didn’t see in the conversation, and with search filters, you can easily find what you’re looking for. Stickers have been redesigned again. Using the remove from background feature in iOS 17, you can turn an object from any image into a sticker.
With StandBy, the iPhone , placed horizontally, becomes a small home center that displays information such as the calendar, time, home controls and more, while live action can also be displayed in full screen mode.
Home screen widgets are interactive, so you can do things like mark an item on your to-do list or turn off the lights without opening the app. AirDrop has been improved with NameDrop for quickly sharing contacts, plus you can hold two iPhones together to start a SharePlay session. SharePlay also now works with CarPlay, so passengers can listen to their music in the car as well.
Other new features include a journaling app coming later this year, AirPlay in select hotel rooms, improvements to the AirPods Pro 2 with new Adaptive Audio, offline maps, Siri that doesn’t require “Hi” to activate (Hey ), as well as search and spotlight improvements.
Apple will release a public beta this summer.
Microsoft is indeed working on a “web-centric” version of the next generation of the Windows operating system, commonly known as Windows 12. This was reported by the thematic resource WindowsLatest, citing several sources close to Microsoft and its industry partners.
The cloud or web-based version of Windows 12 is similar in operating principles to the already well-known ChromeOS operating system from Google, which is used mainly on school and student PCs and laptops that are characterized by accessibility.
As WindowsLatest notes, the cloud version of Windows 12 is not intended to replace the traditional proprietary OS on desktop computers and could be the “true” answer to Chrome OS. This is Microsoft’s attempt to create a more modern, modular and lightweight version of Windows for low-cost educational devices.
Microsoft is already building a development team for the next generation of Windows. This is confirmed by job listings appearing online. It also notes that the “next generation of Windows” will appear in 2024.
As WindowsLatest learned, the Microsoft Edge browser and a new artificial intelligence system will be the center of the first web version of Windows 12.
Users of Google’s car platform began to complain about problems with the GPS signal after the release of the stable Android Auto 10.5 update.
According to some users, they have encountered problems with GPS while driving. Several users reported that the GPS signal suddenly disappeared for a few seconds and the navigator froze, but after a few moments it came to life and continued to work normally. This problem affects not only Google Maps, but also the Waze app.
Unfortunately, Google developers have not yet acknowledged the problems with GPS. However, you shouldn’t get too upset because new Android Auto updates come out every few weeks. If you have problems with GPS when using Android Auto, you can downgrade to an older version.
Google has released a small update to its Chrome browser, which may please many users.
The fact is that some time ago the developers added the “All Bookmarks” checkbox to the end of the bookmarks bar, and the new element is firmly attached to the panel. Clicking “All Bookmarks” will simply prompt you to “Open sidebar to see all bookmarks.” This innovation annoyed many users and has now been removed.
The panel was freed from the plate with the update to Chrome 117.0.5938.132. In addition, the update contains 10 security fixes, including the exploit that was used in the attacks.
