As the iPhone 15 launch event inches closer, iPhone users are eagerly awaiting the new software update, iOS 17. Ever since Apple announced iOS 17 at WWDC 2023, the iPhone maker has rolled out the beta version of iOS 17 for testing for last few months. This iOS 17 Beta version is currently available but has many bugs and errors which need to be fixed until it's finalised. At the iPhone 15 series launch on September 12, we are expecting iOS 17 to roll out as well. Here are 10 interesting features of iOS 17 that we think will excite new iPhone users.
1) Airdrop upgrades
iOS 17 will make the Airdrop even better. It will introduce two new features; Namedrop and SharePlay. Namedrop can be used to share your contact details by bring your device close to another iPhone or Apple Watch. Airdrop now can also be used to share stuff like pictures, videos, etc. by just tapping two devices.
2) Voicemails
With iOS 17, you will be able to send a voicemail if a person doesn’t pick up your FaceTime audio and video calls. And that person can also reply in voicemail as well. Additionally, some more effects like hearts, balloons, fireworks, laser beams, and rain, have been added to FaceTime.
