​1. iOS 11

The future of iOS has arrived, and it’s packed full of new features and improvements. Here’s everything we’ve learned from the WWDC 2017 keynote.

​2. Messaging

​2. Messaging

iMessages are now being stored in the cloud, which means syncing between devices won’t take as much storage space to pull off–only the most recent conversations are stored locally.

There’s also a new messaging app drawer to store all your stickers and other iMessage apps.

​4. A whole lot of Siri changes

As the image above shows, Siri can now translate on the fly. That’s not all that’s coming to Apple’s digital assistant, though: It’s getting new male and female voices too.

​5. Translate to just a few languages so far

At launch, real-time translation will only be available from English to a few select languages. Apple says it plans to add others in the future.

7. Your search history and reading habits will follow you

Search subjects, things you read, and news you follow will start mattering in other apps, which Apple hopes will make your iOS experience feel more interconnected.

Do a search for the correctly accented spelling of the delicious French gu00e2teau cake and it will get added to your autocorrect dictionary. Read a news story on a Parisian baking competition and suddenly you’ll start getting suggestions for other Paris-related stories.

Say goodbye to JPG images from your iOS device–they’re being replaced with the high definition HEIF format.

​10. How low (light) can you go?

iOS 11 also brings better low light image capture to smartphones and tablets–a welcomed change for those tired of failing to get good pictures in darker rooms.

​11. Changes to the Photos app

New automatic album types, event sorting, and other machine learning tricks are coming to the Photos app. Hopefully it’ll make digging through multiple gigabytes of pictures a bit easier!

​12. Tweak your live photos

I’ve discovered that I like live photos far more than I thought I would, and this new feature makes me even more excited about them: They can now be edited!

​13. An all new Control Center

Talk about different–the Control Center has had a total overhaul, including the addition of 3D touch controls. Do a firm press on a button and you’ll get more controls and options.

​14. The notification screen is changing too

Apple said it wanted to merge the lock screen and notification center. Now when you swipe down from the top of your screen you’ll see a duplicate of the lock screen with only the most recent notifications displayed. Swipe down from there and you’ll see the rest.

​15. New maps features

You can now get maps of specific malls, albeit very few. Apple says more are coming with time.

Other new features in maps include an on-screen indicator of the local speed limit and lane guidance so you know where to be on the freeway.

​17. Do not disturb: driving mode

iOS 11 will use a combination of active Bluetooth connections, GPS, and Wi-Fi doppler effect to determine if you’re in a car. If so, you’ll have the option to turn on a new form of Do Not Disturb that completely blacks out the phone until your trip ends.

You can also set up automatic responses to text messages so people contacting you know you’re in the car.

​19. Share your active playlist for social streaming

Your friends can now get in on your music listening experience by adding their own tracks to the Up Next view in Apple Music, provided you’re in the same place.

Just be sure you have the same tastes before allowing someone else to add music willy-nilly.

​21. A totally new App Store

Let’s be honest: The App Store was starting to look pretty dated. Apple knew it too, so it’s giving it a complete overhaul in iOS 11.

​22. Three new App Store views

Apple talked about three ways to view the new App Store: the Today view, which comes up when you open the store, a Games view, and an Apps view.

Today will be more about discovering featured apps and reading reviews, how-to’s, and short app-related articles, while the Games and Apps views are more like what you’re used to seeing in the current App Store.

​26. ARKit

The new Apple Augmented Reality Kit (ARKit) is pretty exciting. Apple developed it to give AR apps the ability to better place objects in the world and make them look more natural and dynamic.
