Sharing AirTags.

Live dictation of voicemail is a close second

[–] RoyalEngineering@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Yes! Sharing of AirTags!

Finally I won’t get notified a million times that there’s an AirTag in my partner’s bag.

I just want autocorrect to work again.

It’s amazing in 17! Noticed first time typing. Especially on the iPad I make substantially less mistakes. It’s a smack in the face change.

[–] rarkgrames@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Yep. Not perfect but much much better than it was.

[–] alxhghs@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

The first couple betas had super speedy spotlight searching. This current beta has a basically broken spotlight. I’m hoping by the time 17 is released that spotlight is super speedy again. It’s been really slow for me on 16

Better voice to text. I’ve been acting like a boomer a lot more recently by dictating things into text fields and judging from the accuracy of the LLM models like whisper, I could seriously see myself using voice to text for everything that doesn’t need to be spelled out.

Any links to this? I didn't realize PWAs were getting any love in iOS 17.

[–] SurpriseCandid8978@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

Hey , my bad. The pwa improvement are coming to macOS safari and not the mobile safari. I thought there were improvements on mobile safari too but nope.

I just want to know how sideloading is going to work when it’s implemented in the EU.

[–] UnbeatenDeployGoofy@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

I really look forward to the profile in Safari (both in macOS and iOS). If it's working properly in Sonoma, I won't be needing multiple accounts on my Macs to separate my work and porn addiction.

[–] Dark_Blade@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Not a ton with iOS, but I’m really looking forward to Sonoma.

SharePlay for CarPlay is going to be a huge quality of life improvement for carpooling

[–] Bushwhack@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I’m still not 100% sure how this works, but I’m excited for it with my wife in long car rides.

[–] NoisyFlake@lemm.ee 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I assume this only works with Apple Music, right? Been considering switching from Spotify for a few months now, but so far there's not really anything that would justify the switch.

[–] tswan@ttrpg.network 1 points 2 years ago

Unfortunately yes—anyone in your car can scan a QR code and help add to your queue, but it only shows up when using Apple Music

[–] androidul@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I just want to have Safari on the  TV 😢

I never answer my phone so having voicemails automatically type out will be a great addition for me!

Wife will be happy. Mother will be happy.

I’m on 16 and i already have this…?

[–] Scooter411@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You have a transcription of a voicemail after it’s been left. On 17 you will see the transcription coming in as the person is leaving the message.

[–] RoyalEngineering@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

Oooh super cool.

[–] Jackolantern@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The battery life. I heard it was miles better than 16. Also, allegedly, keyboard autocorrect was fixed. Allegedly.

[–] resurrexia@kbin.social 0 points 2 years ago

@Jackolantern

@executive_chicken ipados dev beta 17 here. My keyboard is bugging and leaving extra characters at the end of sentences/messages.

Another stolen Android feature that they'll claim to have come up with themselves! Those are the best
