This week, Apple presented at its traditional conference WWDC 2017 a good number of new features important for the remainder of the year. What was most talked about, in contrast to the iPad Pro, was the presentation of iOS 11.
At the event on Monday, the Apple company unveiled some of the improvements and most significant features However, that is not It was a good time to expand on each and every detail that the update will bring with it.Hence, part of the extra information is found directly on the manufacturer's website.
That's why we wanted to collect five features that may have gone unnoticed. But that will undoubtedly be very, very useful for users who have a device, iPad or iPhone, with iOS 11. They are as follows.
1. New less annoying volume control
The iPhone and iPad can be great devices for playing multimedia content. But there are always details to polish. If you are an iOS user, you know that until now, when you are watching a video and want to increase or decrease the sound volume, the indicator appears right in the center of the video.
This can be very annoying.Especially when you don't want anything to interrupt the viewing. Well, with the update to iOS 11, the famous volume indicator will appear in one of the top corners. Instead of right in the center of playback .
2. Automatically delete apps to save space
Another important problem, both in iOS and Android, is the accumulation of useless files and applications that end up saturating our memory. It seems that the more capacity we have, the faster we fill it up.
Well, the solution that Apple proposes for iOS 11 goes through delete the applications that we haven't used for a long time, but saving the settings and data. This way, users won't lose anything important and can let go of unused apps when storage runs low.
3. Control more and better how apps use your location
There are apps that can continue to track your location even when you're no longer using them. One of the most notorious cases is that of Uber. Well, it seems that what Apple has done with iOS 11 is to give users more power so they can control how installed apps use their location
When you upgrade to iOS 11, you'll see that every app has a new feature. This is an option that allows to have tracking activated only when the app is being used.
4. Tap AirPods to change songs
The AirPods were one of the most striking innovations of Apple's recent times. Despite being expensive, users who have tried them say that these wireless headphones work very well.
Currently, when a user plays music and wants to change a track, they have to double-tap on the headphones to activate Siri. And only then you can ask the system to skip the song.
With iOS 11 it will no longer be necessary. Just touch one of the headphones once to skip to the next track. And do it two more times, if what we want is to return to the previous song.
5. Take better screenshots
And we finish with another new feature that we will surely find useful as well. Especially since it is a improvement for a function that we use very often: that of the screenshots.
From now on, when taking a screenshot a thumbnail will appear in one of the corners. You can open it and edit it with whatever you need (cut, add text...). When you're done, you can share it with other people.
