When watching something on Apple TV, long press the Dynamic Island and use the volume buttons to lower/raise the volume. Don’t have to swipe to find the remote, can stay in your current app. It’s so funky!!!!!

    iOS has so many of these small things I have no idea about.

    I abs hate the new box list and ui of iMessages text box and where voice memos is now. Idk why they refuse to copy or be inspired by the way whatsapp with voice messages it’s so much better and easier to use. Even ios 16 iMessage was better than this iteration with the exception of the newly added voice message transcription. This iOS 17 iMessage user experience is just too many taps to get where u need and so clunky.

    I think that button should automatically pop when you long press it. Right now you have to guess when it's okay to let go because it will currently let you hold it forever.

    That's nice. Now I just need to find someone who actually uses iMessage...

    If you disable dictation, voice memos is moved to the right of the text box in messages (I'm on iOS 17, iPhone 15 Pro).

    It looks like this.

    You don’t need to disable dictation, it defaults to the last feature you used. So keep dictation on if you use it in other apps, and just send a voice memo and it should stick to that.

    Mind blown...iOS features have gotten to the point where I figure most of the daily useful features here or through any unofficial sources.

    In iOS 16 the gallery was just one tap away tho.

    Wow, what an innovation!

    Would be nice if hitting that + button gave you a little feedback vibration when opening the gallery.

    When editing portrait photos, you don’t have to reach up to the top left to switch between depth and Portrait Lighting – you can just tap the F icon along the bottom tray to switch!

    Thank you 🥹 I wish they would have left it how it was, but this is a nice compromise 🥹

    Apple really needs to communicate these kinds of shortcuts in a better way.

    I literally learned in the last few years you could hold down the spacebar to move the cursor around way easier.

    The spacebar thing has been there since 3D touch was still a thing… But yeah, agree, they should at least explain these neat little tricks in the Tips app instead of just showing off the obvious stuff.

    Carplay doesn't work right since the update. It will work some days and on others it won't recognize it was plugged in.

    Just figured out the other day that if you hold down the Numbers button of the keyboard, it will switch back once you stop holding it down. Pretty convenient if you need to quickly switch to number input and switch back.

    In the messages app, tapping the Clock in the top left scrolls you back to earliest downloaded msg.

    I somehow switched the dictation button out of my text box back to voice recording. don’t know how I did that, but was happy to get it back since having two buttons for dictation was stupid.

    I knew about the gallery trick though, just wish it didn’t take forever on my 12.
