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.
Yep. Not perfect but much much better than it was.
this!
Sharing AirTags.
Live dictation of voicemail is a close second
Yes! Sharing of AirTags!
Finally I won’t get notified a million times that there’s an AirTag in my partner’s bag.
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…?
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.
Oh cool. Thanks
Oooh super cool.
Live transcript does seem nice. Like you, I hate listening to voicemail. I’m a much more visual person
Better pwa support
Any links to this? I didn't realize PWAs were getting any love in iOS 17.
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.
SharePlay for CarPlay is going to be a huge quality of life improvement for carpooling
I’m still not 100% sure how this works, but I’m excited for it with my wife in long car rides.
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.
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
I’m hoping the side loading thing will be real, and practical.
Definitely the interactive widgets!
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
I just want to know how sideloading is going to work when it’s implemented in the EU.
iPadOS: Better Stage Manager
What did they improve about it that excites you?
From what I understand the “grid” where you can place app windows has been greatly increased, so it’s almost like you can place the apps where ever instead of it choosing the worst places on its own.
It’s nowhere near a desktop OS but it is a nice improvement. I definitely hate using it less since the betas.
I use my iPad for about 90% of my computing needs at this point, so I’m eager for the extra functionality when I have it extended out on an external display.
The battery life. I heard it was miles better than 16. Also, allegedly, keyboard autocorrect was fixed. Allegedly.
@executive_chicken ipados dev beta 17 here. My keyboard is bugging and leaving extra characters at the end of sentences/messages.
Like this s
Oh no, that’s unfortunate. Do you have the latest beta?
The swipe to reply feature has been awesome. Also enjoying the new contact wallpapers.
Sure have!
Opening up the browsers to allow ones that don't run webkit would be nice.
I rather miss being able to use Firefox and its plugins on mobile.
The Firefox plug-in system is the same as Safari/WebKit, is it not?
Not as far as I'm aware, since they use gecko for Firefox desktop.
They both use WebExtensions but Firefox supports many more apis. ublock isn’t possible with Safari.
Video voicemail when using FaceTime. I don’t use FaceTime often, but this has seemed like a no brainer enhancement to FaceTime for awhile.
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.
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.
Not a ton with iOS, but I’m really looking forward to Sonoma.
