IOS 11's cool new features that enhances user experience

IOS 11 brings various new features, here are some which will enhance your user experience.

Instantly share WiFi passwords.

Now you no longer need to save your WiFi password on a piece of paper somewhere. In iOS 11, if you need a WiFi password for a given network, just find someone who is already using the network and hold your device near theirs. The password will be transferred instantly.

                                                                                                           

Setting up a new iPhone or iPad is much easier.

If you just bought a new iPhone or iPad, you can hold it close to an iOS device you already own to have all your settings, preferences and iCloud Keychain passwords magically import themselves to the new device. It helps you start using that brand-new device much more quickly than before.

There’s a new feature that could actually save your life.

Distracted driving is a real, deadly problem. Thankfully, Apple has added a clever feature that lets the iPhone sense it’s in a car to trigger “Do Not Disturb” mode, which can hide notifications for texts, calls, and other app messages while you’re driving. The feature can even notify people that you’re driving and will contact them soon.

Notifications are getting simplified

In iOS 11, all your notifications both recent and missed are in one place; no separate tabs. Just pull down from the top of the screen to see everything at once.

 Apple is finally letting you manage your own Control Center.

The Control Center was perhaps the most useful feature of iOS 7 back in 2013: By swiping up from the bottom of your screen, you could access a variety of shortcuts and buttons. Four years later, you’ll finally be able to choose what those shortcuts and buttons are.

The iPhone keyboard is getting smarter.

One of the signature features of Google Now is finally coming to the iOS ecosystem: When you type in iOS 11, the keyboard will suggest words you may have recently viewed on your phone — from your Messages app, for example, or Safari. So when your friend texts you the name of a restaurant, it may be one of the first suggestions when you start searching for that restaurant on the web. Also, the keyboard can now be used with one hand — just hold the emoji key and select one-handed typing to move all the keys closer to your thumb.

The Messages app is getting cleaned up.

It felt like mayhem when Apple added the app drawer to its Messages app. Suddenly, you could add stickers and GIFs and all sorts of buttons and visuals to your messages, but all the new options weren’t totally easy to find, and were somewhat overwhelming. Apple redesigned the app drawer in Messages for iOS 11, making it much easier to browser all the various stickers and emojis at your disposal.

You’ll be able to store way more photos and videos on your phone.

Apple is changing the compression formats in iOS 11, which will allow you to store more photos and videos on your phone. Apple says you’ll be able to save twice as many photos and videos on your device than in iOS 10.

  

Live Photos are much better.

Now you can make your live photos into GIFs, which you can make bounce back and forth. Also, you can finally choose which still frame of the Live Photo is the main image, making it easier to find the perfect moment to share on social media.
