You can edit your profile from the top left corner of most of those native apps, mixing together different fonts, photos, and color options – I like the monochrome photo filter paired with a pop of color, like it’s a fictional magazine profile headshot. It’s a new way to show your contact’s incoming calls, contact profiles, FaceTime and Messages.
#INCOMING FACETIME CALL UPGRADE#
Contact PostersĬontact Posters are the most significant visual upgrade to iOS 17. Incoming calls will also feature a nice landscape version of iOS 17’s new Contact Posters.
You’ll also get music and podcast controls for audio playback, which looks a lot like CarPlay.Īpple has folded its Smart Stacks into these StandBy widgets, so you can swipe between smart home controls, calendars, weather and more, customizing what information is a swipe away. The iPhone will automatically separate your photos into places (and its own photography) and people recognized in your own contacts. I’ve loved seeing my photos on my Nest Hub, but let’s be honest – I’m looking at, and nearer to, my phone, pretty much most of the day. Given the strides Apple has made with its widgets on iPhones and Apple Watch, I’m intrigued to see whether this is a useful new feature for when I’m not actively using my iPhone. Itl even transitions into a low-light smart display later at night so you can use it as an alarm clock. You’ll have to tap to wake it on other devices. If you have an iPhone 14 Pro, it’ll always be visible due to the always-on display. This consists of widgets, calendar info, music, your photos, news, sports scores and more. With StandBy, you'll get a different view when your phone is horizontal and charging. StandByĪpple hasn’t launched a smart display ( yet), so it’s making your iPhone into one. I soon learned you’ll have to hold these poses for a little too long in order for your iPhone to recognize and trigger the AR effect. Gesture-based AR effects are along for the ride too, including fireworks (two thumbs up), confetti cannons (double peace signs) and when you make a devil horn sign? Laser beams. Apple has opened up these video effects to Zoom, Microsoft Teams and more. You can record FaceTime video messages through both the front and rear cameras and amp up the visual pizazz with Portrait mode and Studio Light. You can even take FaceTime calls - audio-only - on your Apple Watch. Any recorded messages you receive will be stored in FaceTime’s Recent tab, along with your missed calls. You can now display your FaceTime video calls on Apple TV, tapping into the cameras already in your iPhones, iPads or MacBooks. In iOS 17, thanks to further refinement of Apple’s Continuity Camera, across Apple devices. While you could send videos on Messages, you can now leave spontaneous video (or voice) messages in FaceTime when someone doesn’t pick up your call.
Beyond Messages, stickers can be applied directly from the sticker drawer to your photos and documents.įaceTime has received a few updates this year, but the most notable one is video voicemail. With iOS 17, you can also apply some sticker effects, like “shiny” and “puffy” that undulate when you move your phone, taking us back to pencil cases of the ‘90s. Live Stickers, which you can make by tapping to ‘lift’ subjects out of photos (it can still be a person, a pet or an object, as long as it’s visually distinct enough), get archived in their own sticker drawer. More information from your phone can be shared when you're delayed, including battery levels and signal levels.Īpple has now consolidated its stickers into one drawer, encompassing live stickers, memoji, emoji and third-party stickers. You can use it when your destination isn’t your home, or even set it up for a timed period when perhaps you’re home alone, but are expecting visitors. If your phone detects that you’re not headed in the right direction, Check In will even notify you that you might have made a mistake.Īpple has integrated a lot of settings to make Check In work how you want it to. Check-In is Apple’s take on automating the “text me when you get home,” doing half the work once your iPhone detects you’ve returned.
#INCOMING FACETIME CALL PLUS#
Most of Messages’ biggest upgrades are siloed away behind the plus button, which helps keep the interface tidy.
