New Update iOS 17.1 - AirDrop, StandBy, and Music features plus 7 bug fixes

[enaph]

Auto-correct is about to get a whole lot better on iPhone. That’s because Apple overhauled how auto-correct works in iOS 17, and that software update is now available for iPhone. iOS 17 also includes loads of new features like interactive widgets, StandBy mode, Live Voicemail, FaceTime voice and video mail, and much more.


While iOS 17 is packed with new features and changes, here are several things to look for after you update:

• Redesigned and re-engineered autocorrect with inline text recommendations
• StandBy mode when charging in landscape orientation for viewing clocks, widgets, photos, and now playing music at a glance
• Live Voicemail with real-time transcriptions without answering
• Contact Posters for customizing how you appear when calling others
• FaceTime audio and video messages for when your call is unanswered
• Check In safety feature in Messages destination updates for friends and family
• Downloadable offline maps for using Apple Maps without internet
• Password and passkey groups and sharing with iCloud Keychain
• Siri activation without saying “Hey”
• Adaptive Audio, Personalized Volume, and Conversation Awareness with AirPods

I've just updated... I'll see if my battery lasts longer (especially with Always On Display on the 14 Pro Max it's a horror!! )

It lasts longer than during the beta phase definitely.

Something I noticed after the upgrade is that some apps that had a dark background, like WhatsApp, for instance, now display in a soft gray. I'm using dark mode on the phone.

I discovered the latest update to WhatsApp added a new preference for how dark you want it to be. Turned it to full dark and problem is now solved

here on iphone 11 pro, iOS 17.0 required re-doing all the iOS phone settings in order to use Robokiller -- so far that is all I have noticed.

How to configure StandBy: iOS 17 guide

In order to configure StandBy iOS 17, follow these steps:

Ensure iOS 17: First and foremost, make sure your iPhone is running iOS 17 to access this feature.

Proper placement: Place your locked iPhone in landscape orientation on an upright charger. It's important to note that StandBy won't activate on flat or low-angle chargers, and your screen must be locked.

Automatic activation: StandBy is enabled by default, so once you meet the criteria mentioned above, it will automatically appear on your screen.

Once you've made sure you meet all these requirements, you're ready to dive deep into iOS17's StandBy feature. Here is what you can do to configure StandBy iOS 17:

• Widget selection: Swipe up on either the analog clock or calendar widget to switch between them. This flexibility allows you to choose the information you want at a glance
• Adding and removing widgets: Press and hold on either widget to add or remove widgets, enhancing your StandBy experience
• Exploring different views: Swipe from right to left on the initial StandBy view to access alternative views. Each view offers distinct customizable elements, allowing you to curate your display
• Settings menu: StandBy supports Live Activities, Siri, incoming calls, and larger notifications. You can fine-tune its behavior by heading to Settings > StandBy
• Nighttime dimming: StandBy is considerate of your sleep schedule. It remembers your "preferred view" and dims to a soothing red hue at night to avoid disruptions

I tested Standby but I am not too keen on turning a device of this price into a clock/smart display and degrade my battery.

Indeed. Personally I find this feature useless and it was first thing I switched off after update to iOS 17.

In the new updates, Apple has added support for continuing a large AirDrop file transfer over the internet when out of AirDrop range. The Apple Music app includes options to favorite songs, albums, and playlists, and there are now song suggestions at the end of every playlist.

Though not mentioned in the notes, Apple says the update "fixes" iPhone 12 radiation levels in France by disabling a feature that boosts cellular signal when the iPhone is not held by a person, and it improves Screen Time syncing across devices. There are several bug fixes, with iOS 17.1 addressing an issue that could cause display image persistence and a bug that could cause the Significant Location setting to reset when transferring or pairing an Apple Watch for the first time.

On the iPad, the ‌iPadOS 17‌ update adds support for the USB-C Apple Pencil that was announced last week. Apple's full release notes for the update are below.

- New cover art collection offers designs that change colors to reflect the music in your playlist
- Song suggestions appear at the bottom of every playlist, making it easy to add music that matches the vibe of your playlist

This update also includes the following improvements and bug fixes:
- Option to choose a specific album to use with Photo Shuffle on the Lock Screen
- Home key support for Matter locks
- Improved reliability of Screen Time settings syncing across devices
- Fixes an issue that may cause the Significant Location privacy setting to reset when transferring an Apple Watch or pairing it for the first time
