Unnecessary iOS functions: what and where can be disabled as unnecessary. New effects in iMessage. Battery Usage Details

1. Taking pictures without using the touch screen

Simply call Siri with a long touch on the Home button and ask it to turn on the camera. To take a photo, press any volume button on your smartphone or headphones.

2. Emergency reboot

In those rare cases when the iPhone freezes or you need to free up the device's RAM, an emergency reboot will help. Just hold down the Home button and the Lock button for 10 seconds.

3. Triple press the Home button

Go to the "Accessibility" item in the main iPhone settings. Scroll down to the “Keyboard Shortcuts” tab - a list of functions will open in front of you. Triple-clicking the Home button launches VoiceOver, color inversion (useful for reading), some display settings, on-screen zoom, and Switch Control or AssistiveTouch.

To turn on the magnifying glass by triple-clicking the Home button, simply select the appropriate item in “Universal Access.”

4. Double tap the Home button sensor

Perhaps all iPhone users know that double-clicking the mechanical Home button opens the application selection window. But not everyone is aware that double tapping the button sensor “lowers” ​​the screen a little, allowing owners of large smartphones to easily reach the top icons.

5. Using 3D Touch

If you have an iPhone 6s or later, using 3D Touch can make your life a lot easier and save time. This technology will speed up movement between applications, make typing more convenient and...

6. Reassigning volume buttons

The iPhone has two volume settings: the first is for calls and notifications, the second is for music and applications. Turning off the “Change with buttons” toggle switch in the sound settings will fix the ringer volume in its current position and transfer control of music and applications exclusively to the side buttons.

Work with text

7. Undo last action

Just shake your smartphone, and iOS will offer to undo the last action, be it typing, pasting or, conversely, deleting text.

8. Quickly enter a domain

In cases where the keyboard prompts you to quickly enter domain.com, hold your finger on this button. A list of popular domains will open in front of you, where you can quickly switch to cherished.ru.

9. Removing the microphone icon from the keyboard

The microphone icon between the space bar and the language change button is intended for voice text input. You can remove the icon by moving the “Enable dictation” slider to the inactive position in the keyboard settings.

10. Listening to the text

iOS supports Screen Speak. To enable it, activate the slider in the speech settings: “Settings” → “General” → “Universal Access”. To make iPhone speak text on the screen, swipe down with two fingers in any app.

Safety

11. Create a letter password for unlocking

If you don't trust four- or six-digit passwords and don't like Touch ID technology, you can set a long one.

Go to the password code settings and select “Change password code”. The system will require you to enter the old combination first, and then the new one. On the screen for entering a new password, click on “Passcode Options” and select an acceptable option.

12. Improve Touch ID accuracy

To help iPhone recognize you more confidently and quickly, create multiple prints of the same finger.

13. Create hidden photos

If you take photos in the standard camera application, they will be saved in the library. To protect a photo with a password, you need to resort to a trick. Turn off photo exporting and set a password in the Notes app settings. To take a secret photo, go to create a new note and tap on the camera icon. Once the photo is taken, click on "Export" and select "Lock Note."

14. Guided access

We often give our smartphone into the wrong hands to “pass a level in a game,” “read an article,” or “watch a video on YouTube.” If you don't trust who will be using your iPhone, turn on Guided Access in Settings: General → Accessibility → Guided Access.

When handing over an iPhone to someone, triple-click the Home button to turn on Guided Access, and the person will only be able to use the open app.

Siri

15. “Whose iPhone is this?”

If you find a lost iPhone, Siri can help you contact its owner without entering a password. Ask her “Whose iPhone is this?” or “Who owns this iPhone?”, and a window will open in front of you with the name of the owner of the gadget.

So that the person who finds your iPhone can find you in this way, go to Siri settings and in the “Data” tab, assign a contact with information about yourself.

16. Male Siri voice

Not everyone knows, but our faithful electronic assistant can speak in a pleasant male voice. This option is available in Siri settings.

Calls

17. Calling the last number dialed

To repeat the last call, it is not necessary to go to the “Recent” tab. Click on the green handset on the screen with keys, and the iPhone will offer to call back the last number dialed.

18. Quick access to favorite contacts

To quickly dial important numbers, add them to the Favorites tab in the standard Phone application. Swipe right on the desktop to go to the widget panel. Scroll down and click “Edit”, and then tap on the plus sign next to the “Favorites” widget. Now you can call your loved ones faster and even when the screen is locked.

19. Detection of an incoming call in headphones

Answering calls using headphones is sometimes much easier than reaching for your phone. To find out who is calling you without taking your iPhone out of your pocket, turn on the “Call Announcements” toggle switch in your phone settings.

Messages

20. Deleting old messages

Deleting irrelevant messages will help bring order to your correspondence and free up precious megabytes of memory. Find the “Leave messages” item in the settings and set the required time after which the messages will be deleted.

21. Saving traffic in “Messages”

To avoid wasting traffic on heavy attachments, turn on low quality mode in your message settings.

22. Time of sending messages

One of the non-obvious functions of “Messages” is viewing the exact time of sending. Just swipe from the right side of the screen.

Alarm

23. Setting up a call from Apple Music

The ability to set your favorite song as an alarm is not a trick, but a basic iPhone feature that many people don't know about. When creating a new alarm, click on the Sound tab. Rewind the list to the very beginning, before the standard ringtones, find a panel with familiar names and click on “Select song”.

24. Snooze alarm

To reschedule the alarm to a later time, you don’t have to look for the corresponding button on the screen. Press any side button and iPhone wakes you up again in nine minutes.

This interval was not chosen by chance: old mechanical alarm clocks could not count exactly 600 seconds. They did not take into account the current minute and began counting nine minutes from the next one.

Safari

25. Search by word on a page

Enter the desired word in the address bar. In the drop-down menu under the search engine suggestions, select “On this page.”

26. Recently closed tabs

Go to the screen that shows previews of open pages, and hold your finger on the “+” button. A list of recently closed tabs will open in front of you. This is useful if you accidentally closed a long-open page that is difficult to find in your browser history.

27. Convert a Safari page to a PDF file

28. Opening links in the background

Other basic applications and services

29. Spotlight as a converter

Swiping down on any iPhone screen opens Spotlight. Its use significantly reduces the time spent searching for something on a smartphone. Spotlight provides results from many applications: it will help you find the desired episode of a podcast, a message by keyword, or a person on Twitter. Also, a standard search engine can act as a converter. Just search for "1 usd" or "15 inches in cm".

30. Convert slow motion video to regular video

If you've been playing around with the slow motion function and accidentally shot something in slow motion that would look better at natural speed, it's easy to bring the video to the original tempo without additional applications. Open the video editing section and adjust the values ​​on the speed bar. This strip is located above the timing field, where we usually cut the videos.

Level 31

The compass in the basic application is practically useless in the city. But if you swipe the screen to the left, you can get a level - an indispensable device for repair and installation.

32. Optimizing Apple Music storage

Turn on Storage Optimization in Music Settings and iPhone will automatically delete songs you rarely listen to. This will only happen when the device’s memory runs out.

To set the minimum amount of music that will not be deleted from iPhone, you can set the storage size.

33. Geolocation reminders

Task managers in the App Store offer a lot of functions, but standard “Reminders” are also capable of a lot. For example, a basic application can remind you to buy milk not only at 15:00, but also when you visit the store. To enable this function, select “Remind me by location” and find the desired geolocation in the task settings.

Battery

34. Turn on power saving mode

If your iPhone has more than 20% charge left, but the nearest outlet is still very far away, it makes sense to switch to power saving mode. To enable the mode, just ask Siri about it or find the corresponding item in the battery settings. In these settings, you can also find a list of the most energy-consuming applications and close them in a timely manner.

35. Silent charging connection

You can avoid vibration when connecting the charger to your iPhone by opening the Camera app before connecting the Lightning cable. The device will begin to charge, and your light-sleeping relatives will not be awakened by a sudden sound.

As you know, Apple adds some new features to each new version of iOS to make iPhones and iPads even more attractive to current and potential users. This is already kind of a tradition, but not all new (and old) iOS functions turn out to be so useful and necessary that everyone uses them every day.

Here, for example, are three once revolutionary features at once - two for the iPhone and one for the iPad - which, despite all their cleverness, the average user, including a very advanced one, is unlikely to use more often than very rarely (more about the features each model can be viewed at IWORLD).

iOS features - easy access

This feature first appeared in iPhone 6 and iOS 8 and was supposed to help users with small hands and/or short fingers better manage the large screen of the new smartphone. “Easy Access” shifts the image on the screen so that you can tap, swipe, or otherwise interact with the virtual buttons that are located at the top of the screen, and which are the most inconvenient to reach. To quickly move them lower, on the iPhone you just need to double-tap the Home button.

But, as it turned out, in practice, most users get used to a large diagonal much faster than to such “convenient access”. And this quite useful feature remains as unnecessary to “gather dust” in the smartphone. In general, if you have also successfully mastered the large screen of your iPhone, then go to “ Settings ", click “Basic” -> “Universal Access” find in the list " Convenient access " and turn it off.

iOS features - shake to cancel

The feature, of course, is effective and sometimes even practical (for example, if you need to cancel the input of some characters when typing with one hand), but it is somewhat labor-intensive. Tell me, do you often shake your iPhone to undo something? The “whipper” switch is also located in the “ Universal access » basic iOS settings:

iOS features - multitasking on iPad

All sorts of BYOD and other mysterious Western concepts for the safe use of personal mobile devices in business are still far from domestic users. People buy iPads from us first of all because it’s fashionable, and secondly - to watch movies on it, chat, surf the Internet and play with toys. Moreover, often one thing at a time. Therefore, of course, everyone immediately learned how to split the screen and create a picture in a picture. But in everyday life on the iPad, Slide Over and Split View are most often just there somewhere, and nothing more.

In general, if your iPad was not purchased for complex business applications, then to disable multitasking in it, go to “ Settings ", there in " Basic ", tap " Multitasking " and turn off " Allow multiple programs «.

In iOS 12, notifications are finally grouped by application and context. When you receive multiple notifications from the same app, they will be combined into one group. This feature will help cope with the busy Notification Center.

By default, notification merging may not work in all apps. For some you need to enable the function in Settings -> Notifications -> (Select application) -> Grouping. Here you can choose from the options: Automatic, Programmed and Off.

2. Improved Do Not Disturb Mode

If you tap the Do Not Disturb mode icon in Control Center using 3D Touch (or a long press), you can only activate it for 1 hour, until the evening or until you leave your current location.

3. Manage notifications

Now you can manage notifications for specific apps directly from the lock screen. You can turn off notifications from a specific application, hide them from the lock screen, etc. You don’t even need to go to Settings for all this. If you haven't used an app in a while, Siri will prompt you to turn off its notifications.

4. Screen Time, Program Limits and At Rest

Screen Time provides detailed reports about how you use your device. You will find out which applications you use most often, how often you pick up your smartphone, etc. Data is synced across all your devices. In addition, you will automatically receive weekly reports.

Once you know how much time you spend on different apps, you can set limits on how you use them. When the time is up, you will receive a notification and will not be able to continue using the application. You can ignore the notification to get additional time.

At rest - an incredibly convenient feature. Once you set a schedule for it, it will automatically protect you from almost all applications on your smartphone. Only important applications like Phone will work. This is a great way to break the habit of using your smartphone for a long time before bed.

5. Memoji

You can create your own Animoji characters. If you've ever used Bitmoji, you know what we're talking about. You can create an animated version of yourself by choosing your skin tone, eye and hair color, etc.

6. FaceTime conferences

The FaceTime platform has finally been updated. It has a new design and support for conferences in which up to 32 users can participate simultaneously. This feature will be available later this fall.

7. Siri commands

Apple has integrated the Workflow app into iOS, and it's now called Teams. The interface remains almost the same as before. You can create commands that can perform multiple actions. You can come up with a command, then activate it, and Siri will do whatever you need.

In the Siri and Search settings section, a separate section for Commands has appeared, where you can create commands for actions. This way you can write a message to someone, open a specific site in Safari, etc. The best thing is that you can save your phrase, which Siri will recognize and understand.

The beauty of Siri Commands is that you don't have to create your own commands to use them. Siri will automatically remember your habits in your favorite apps and start showing recommended commands on the Spotlight page. When you open the search, you may see an offer to call a specific contact back, return to a conversation you just closed, or open the site you usually use at that time.

This also applies to third-party applications. Recommendations will appear to start a timer, open a specific album in Photos, etc. Just click on the recommendation to perform the action. To perform an action again, you can enter its name in the search. You don't need to configure anything yourself.

10. Gestures in style iPhone X on iPad

If you swipe down on the iPad screen from the top right corner, Control Center opens. Swiping across the Dock will open the Home screen. The gestures are slightly different from the iPhone X, but will still seem familiar. To switch between recent apps, simply swipe left and right across the bottom of the screen.

11. Do not disturb at night

Do Not Disturb has a new option that allows you to set a schedule for it. At night, the screen will dim, the lock screen won't show notifications, and it won't light up for every notification.

12. Hidden weather widget

If you use Do Not Disturb mode at night, you can access a new weather widget that will appear in the morning.

13. Live Listen

iOS 12 has a new accessibility feature with great potential. It creates an audio bridge between your iPhone's microphone and your AirPods. The feature should help users with poor hearing, but it can be used for other purposes.

14. Promotions

The Stocks app has been redesigned to include more market information. Interactive graphics have also been added. You can view the latest business news directly from Promotions.

15. Books

The iBooks application has been renamed and its design has also been changed. Now the main section is the section with the books you are currently reading. The design of the book and audiobook store has also been changed. It has become like the App Store. A new dark mode has appeared.

16. Roulette

In the new Roulette app, you can measure the size of objects using augmented reality in the camera. Simply point the camera at an object, and the smartphone itself will detect its edges and measure the distance.

You can also save, edit and share screenshots of measurements.

17. Website icons in Safari

Now in Safari settings you can enable the display of website icons on tabs.

18. New dictionaries

The dictionaries now have new available options in English.

19. Voice recorder

The updated Voice Recorder app now works on both iPhone and iPad. Now it's easier and more convenient to record and edit audio. By default, deleted audio recordings do not disappear, but end up in the Recently Deleted folder.

To completely delete entries, go to Settings -> Dictaphone -> Clearing deleted and select one of the options.

21. Second person for Face ID

In iOS 12, Apple added the ability to register a second person. This feature is intended for cases when Face ID does not recognize you with glasses or a beard. However, the function can also be used to add a completely different face.

22. Use iCloud Keychain to enter passwords

If an application or website has fields for login and password, you will see an icon in the form of a key above the keyboard. Click on it and you can insert the password automatically, as well as the login, if they are saved. When you log in for the first time, the system will prompt you to save your input data.

23. Share passwords via AirDrop

Now you can easily share passwords with nearby devices. Can be shared between iOS and Mac devices, as well as iOS and Apple TV. Passwords are transferred securely via AirDrop. The information appears in iCloud Keychain on the recipient's device.

24. Battery statistics

The Battery section in Settings now displays graphs with statistics. In the graph, you can view the charge level and energy use over time. You can view data for the last 10 days. In addition, you can interact with the charts. Click on an element to view detailed information for a given period of time.

25. Virtual trackpad

In iOS 12, the 3D Touch virtual trackpad appeared on all models, even without support for the technology. Simply hold down Spacebar to turn your keyboard into a trackpad.

26. Search songs by text

Now in Apple Music you can find songs by their lyrics. Just enter the words of the song you remember into the search, and the application will find that song.

27. Chapters in Podcasts

Podcasts now have chapter divisions that are easy to navigate with one click.

28. Auto update

If you didn't like installing system updates manually every time and always dreamed of automating this process, we have good news for you.

In the Software Update section there is a new Auto Update option, which is disabled by default.

29. Turn it on flashlight through Siri

Personal assistant Siri has learned a new trick. Say, “Hey Siri, turn on the flashlight,” and Siri will do it. You no longer have to fiddle with your phone in the dark.

30. Conveniently close applications on iPhone X

In iOS 11, closing apps on the iPhone X was time-consuming and inconvenient, but now the process has been simplified. Simply open the app switcher and swipe up on the app.

After everyone installed and tried to work with iOS 11, we decided to figure out what we don’t yet know about the new version of the operating system. Besides the fact that almost every button in Control Center supports 3D Touch technology, you should know about several “secret” functions.

You can quickly take a selfie

Control Center has a camera button, clicking on which provides access to the most popular functions and modes. For example, you can immediately start shooting selfies, videos, portraits or videos in slo-mo mode.

You can copy from the calculator

The simple and popular Calculator application seems to work well. But the developers have introduced a new, invisible but nice feature: now you can copy the results of calculations. Just press hard on the icon and the latest results will go to the clipboard.

Flashlight power

Those who often use Flashlight on iPhone should like this innovation: using 3D Touch you can now control the intensity of the glow. Four brightness levels are available.

You can set a timer from the lock screen

iOS 11 allows you to set a timer from 1 minute to 2 hours directly from Control Center. Use the slider to select the number of minutes.

New features in iOS 11

So it will be interesting Apple has simplified the process of creating folders and added group movement of application icons. In order to create a folder, we also make the computers tremble, then we pull out one application so that the cross disappears and tap on the games and programs that we want to group. To bulk move icons to another desktop, simply drag them there and release your finger from the display. And to create a folder, simply repeat the initial steps associated with grouping, and then move the group to the last application you want to add to the folder. The folder also opens quickly - Done.

Hidden features of iPhone 5s

The interaction process has definitely become easier and faster. iOS 11 doesn't have a dark theme. This out of nowhere hype just pisses me off. If you go to settings - smart inversion, you can invert the colors, but this is not dark mode. This feature is intended for people with vision problems. The function works at 50% of the full inversion, there are errors and after activation the smartphone begins to stutter. In general, APple has done a great job of implementing convenient features for moving files. For example, you can easily drag and drop images from one note to another. And after sharing a photo with iMessage, it will be possible to move the picture, bypassing the multitasking mode, to the same notes. In the new Files explorer, you can also conveniently transfer data from folder to folder.

Changes in iOS 11

It seems to me that this is just the beginning of cross-program data transfer. Convenience comes first. After taking a screenshot, the quick editing option will immediately be available. Brushes, pencils, tracing and other tools are at your service. I don't want to edit anything sideways. By activating the Screen Recorder widget in Control Center, you can record video from the screen of your iPhone or iPad without jailbreak or a computer. The resulting video is saved as a photo. Expanded text formatting options have been added to notes. The program is being intensively updated and now it is not just a note-taking tool, but a very good word processor. You can even add tables and conveniently move information between cells. And if you go to the settings item, you can specify the background on which notes will be created.

In addition, notes can be attached so that the most important information does not get lost among other data. Notes also now have their own widget, and from the notification center you can quickly sketch out some important information in just one click. As I said in the full review, iOS 11 integrates the new H.265 codec. This video compression format is much more efficient than the previous H.264: for example, a minute of video in 4K resolution at 30 frames per second will take approximately 170 MB versus 350 MB in the previous version of iOS. The same goes for photographs. Apple has updated the built-in video player. This is not only an application, but also a window integrated into the browser. The interface has received a fresher design and improved ergonomics. The Photos app now lets you save and open GIF images. Of course, this should have been done a long time ago, but better late than never. If you go to Settings - notifications, you can find a new item. This setting allows you to determine in which cases the notification text will be displayed and in which not. The option is available both generally for all notifications and for each application individually.

Secret features of iOS 11

If you go to settings you will see an updated section for managing internal memory. A new feature has been added that allows you to automatically remove applications that have not been used for some time. I've already used it and freed up 4.5 GB. The option is also available for each application separately. The program will be deleted, but absolutely all data will be stored. iPhones and iPads running iOS 11 have native support for the FLAC audio format for the first time. They can be accessed through the new Files app. So tracks are played in high quality within the program. Let's hope that in the future Apple will integrate this format into both Apple Music and iTunes. Any application that has not been optimized for 64-bit architecture will not work in iOS 11. When you try to launch a 32-bit application, a dialog box appears on the screen informing you that you need to update the software.

Hidden features for iOS 11

Siri was also upgraded. In addition to machine learning, functions such as a translator, which does not yet work in Russian localization, and an oral calculator have appeared. If you launch the standard camera application and point it at the QR code, a notification from Safari will automatically prompt you to go to the encoded page. Fast, convenient and no need for third-party programs anymore. If you're a shovel owner with iOS 11, rejoice, because Apple has integrated a new mode for operating the keyboard with one hand. Moreover, this function works for both right-handers and left-handers. With the release of iOS 11 beta, third-party developers for the first time gained access to the NFC module in Apple smartphones. The new Core NFC framework allows you to expand the use cases for the near-field communication chip built into the iPhone and Apple Watch. With NFC on iPhone you can do much more than just pay in stores. The standard iMessage messenger has new echo and spotlight effects. The thing is certainly very beautiful. Well, the last, most hidden function of an iPhone running iOS 11. Everyone says that the new operating system doesn’t work. By September it will be running as it should.

What you need to know about the hidden features of iOS 11 (photos)

The new version of iOS will be available to all owners of Apple products on September 19. The first innovations were known back in the summer. But at the presentation on September 12, they talked about new, hidden features of iOS 11, which are especially interesting in connection with the appearance of the iPhone X and iPhone 8, Neskuchnye Novosti reports.

Hidden features of iOS 11

Siri

You can now contact the Siri assistant not only by voice, but also by text. This is especially convenient when the iPhone owner is on a noisy street or at a meeting.

Facetime

You can now take a live photo during Facetime video calls. This feature cannot be discovered unless you know about it. It is turned on in the phone settings.

Convert to PDF

New photo and video format

Phones and tablets now shoot in new formats - HEIF/HEVC. They are enabled by default, but you can return the old formats in the settings.

Do Not Disturb While Driving feature

Apple continues to care about the safety of its customers. The new version of the operating system has a “do not disturb while driving” feature. The mode can be turned on manually or it will activate itself when the user connects the smartphone to the car’s Bluetooth.

Handwritten text in mail

The Mail application now has the ability to add handwritten text.

SOS function

The new version of OS has returned the ability to call emergency services with one button. To use the function, you need to press the Home key five times. The phone will then automatically call 911.

Notes

You can create notes on a locked smartphone. To do this, you need to call Control Center and select the appropriate icon.

FaceID

After successfully introducing the fingerprint scanner, Apple announced the ability to unlock iPhone and iPad using your face. Infrared cameras and 3D modeling technologies recognize their owner. This feature will completely replace Touch ID in the new version of OS.

New gestures

The new iPhone and operating system are the most revolutionary development since the creation of the first smartphone from Apple. This was stated at the presentation on September 12.

In the new version of the OS, launching a menu of running applications, switching between the menu and Control Center, going back a step - all this works using movements. There is no longer a Home button.

Portrait mode

New versions of the iPhone will feature “portrait mode.” The program will determine the shooting conditions, and then select the lighting for a successful photo. By the way, this is not just a filter, as it was before, but automatic operation of the phone in real time.

80 hidden iOS 11 features for iPhone and iPad

On Monday, Apple introduced a major software update for the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. iOS 11 contains hundreds of new features, so it’s simply impossible to talk about all the innovations in one event.

During the presentation, Apple paid attention only to key improvements in iOS 11. First of all, the company pleased with the minimal amount of memory, optimizing the use of space on gadgets. iMessages are now stored in iCloud and synced across devices, and photos and videos will take up less storage on iPhone and iPad thanks to new lossless compression algorithms.

The App Store, Control Center and some application icons have been completely redesigned. A rather interesting “feature” of iOS 11 is the new “Do Not Disturb While Driving” mode, which will not allow you to be distracted from the road.

11 hidden features in iOS 11

On Monday, Apple released the first public beta version of iOS 11. Despite the fact that many people have already installed the developer preview for a long time, fortunately, this does not require an appropriate account, some users are still waiting for the new operating system to become more or less stable.

iOS 11 is not without bugs and problems, although the public beta version is stable enough for testing. In addition, you can always roll back to iOS 10. Detailed instructions for installing iOS 11 beta on iPhone and iPad can be found here. If you've already installed the beta version on your device, chances are you're curious about the hidden features of the new operating system.

Notification History: iOS 11 introduces the ability to view new and old notifications separately. When you swipe from the top edge of the screen, you do not get to the Notification Center; instead, the so-called Cover Sheet opens, which resembles a lock screen. Cover Sheet only displays the most recent notifications. If you need to see the rest, swipe up.

Live Photos in FaceTime: Most likely, none of you will notice the Live Photos feature in FaceTime, which is activated in the application settings. If the option is enabled, you will be able to take “live” pictures during video calls.

New photo and video formats: In iOS 11, Apple switched to the new HEIF/HEVC photo and video format, but you can set standard shooting formats in the camera settings.

Do Not Disturb While Driving: Not everyone knows about this feature, although Apple paid a lot of attention to it at WWDC. We are talking about the “Do not disturb while driving” mode. To activate, go to Do Not Disturb settings and turn on Do Not Disturb While Driving. There are three options available here: automatically, manually and when connected to the car's Bluetooth.

Handwritten text in mail: The Mail app now offers the ability to add handwritten text.

Background app refresh settings: The background app refresh feature has changed slightly. Now you can choose whether to update content always or only when connected to Wi-Fi.

SOS Feature: iOS 11 brings back the SOS feature, allowing you to quickly call emergency services and send a message to your contacts to alert them. To enable the function, go to Settings -> Emergency SOS. After that, if you press the power button 5 times in a row, the iPhone will make a call to emergency services and notify the specified contacts.

Take notes without unlocking your smartphone: iOS 11 lets you take notes without having to unlock your device. To do this, you can use the button in Control Center. In the Notes settings, you can specify the time during which the note will be saved on the locked screen.

Power Off Button: For iPhone or iPad users with a broken power button, there is now an option to turn off the device in Settings. However, one question remains for Apple - how can you turn on the device if the button does not work and there is no outlet nearby?
