iOS 17 brings a Messages app redesign and an exciting shortcut to share photos you need to learn right now – here’s how it works.
The public iOS 17 release has been out for a few days. I’m still getting used to some of the new features that Apple added to the iPhone operating system. I have not tried any of the iOS 17 betas, which was a first for this longtime iPhone user. Usually, I dive right into the iOS betas to test what’s new before the September release.
Overall, iOS 17 has no big features, which might be why I didn’t run any beta releases, not even the more recent ones. But iOS 17 offers users plenty of smaller tweaks and functionalities you’ll appreciate.
One of the things I love about iOS 17 is the new Messages app redesign. The app now features a brilliant gesture you have to learn immediately. You’ll use it all the time for sending photos to friends and family members via iMessage.
