What You Need to Know About iOS 11

What​ ​You​ ​Need​ ​to​ ​Know​ ​About​ ​iOS​ ​11 By​ ​Jenna​ ​Erickson,​ ​Codal​ ​Inc

__________________________________________________________________ As​ ​a​ ​Chicago​ ​mobile​ ​app​ ​development​ ​company​,​ ​it​ ​is​ ​absolutely​ ​crucial​ ​for​ ​us​ ​to stay​ ​on​ ​top​ ​of​ ​trends,​ ​including​ ​all​ ​types​ ​of​ ​software​ ​updates,​ ​whether​ ​it​ ​be​ ​iOS​ ​or Android.

Just​ ​this​ ​week,​ ​iOS​ ​11​ ​was​ ​launched​ ​to​ ​consumers.​ ​Everyone​ ​at​ ​Codal,​ ​all​ ​of​ ​the marketers,​ ​mobile​ ​app​ ​developers​,​ ​and​ ​UX’ers​ ​are​ ​enjoying​ ​the​ ​new​ ​update​ ​so much​ ​that​ ​we​ ​decided​ ​to​ ​put​ ​together​ ​a​ ​guide​ ​for​ ​things​ ​that​ ​you​ ​need​ ​to​ ​know about​ ​the​ ​new​ ​interface.

UI​ ​Design​ ​Changes While​ ​the​ ​UI​ ​design​ ​did​ ​not​ ​get​ ​a​ ​complete​ ​overhaul,​ ​many​ ​of​ ​the built-in​ ​mobile​ ​apps​ ​now​ ​use​ ​a​ ​heavy,​ ​larger​ ​font​ ​and​ ​have​ ​a different​ ​interface.​ ​The​ ​Camera,​ ​and​ ​Message​ ​apps​ ​are​ ​perfect examples​ ​of​ ​this​ ​new​ ​design​ ​change.

The​ ​Control​ ​Center​ ​(which​ ​is​ ​now​ ​customizable,)​ ​and​ ​the​ ​lock​ ​screen both​ ​both​ ​have​ ​some​ ​of​ ​the​ ​most​ ​significant​ ​changes​ ​yet.​ ​The Control​ ​Center​ ​now​ ​takes​ ​up​ ​the​ ​entire​ ​screen,​ ​which​ ​can​ ​be​ ​customized​ ​in​ ​your iPhones​ ​Settings.

Siri​ ​Gets​ ​Smarter As​ ​an​ ​iOS​ ​development​ ​firm,​​ ​offering​ ​custom​ ​software​ ​development​ ​services​, artificial​ ​intelligence​ ​is​ ​always​ ​a​ ​hot​ ​topic.​ ​Siri​ ​just​ ​got​ ​smarter,​ ​which​ ​we​ ​are obviously​ ​excited​ ​about.

Wondering​ ​about​ ​the​ ​new​ ​things​ ​that​ ​Siri​ ​can​ ​do?

● Siri​ ​can​ ​now​ ​translate​ ​English​ ​to​ ​other​ ​languages​ ​(Spanish,​ ​Italian,​ ​German, French,​ ​and​ ​Chinese) ● She​ ​now​ ​will​ ​make​ ​smarter​ ​suggestions​ ​to​ ​you​ ​based​ ​on​ ​your​ ​browsing history​ ​and​ ​interests ● Siri​ ​will​ ​now​ ​sound​ ​more​ ​human-like​ ​with​ ​a​ ​natural​ ​voice,​ ​more​ ​expressions and​ ​better​ ​pronunciation ● She’s​ ​grown​ ​a​ ​love​ ​for​ ​music,​ ​you​ ​can​ ​even​ ​ask​ ​her​ ​“who​ ​is​ ​the​ ​drummer​ ​in this​ ​tune?”

Files,​ ​Files,​ ​Files If​ ​you​ ​use​ ​your​ ​phone​ ​for​ ​business,​ ​which​ ​everyone​ ​typically​ ​does from​ ​time-to-time,​ ​this​ ​new​ ​feature​ ​will​ ​make​ ​your​ ​life​ ​a​ ​lot​ ​easier.

The​ ​Files​ ​app​ ​is​ ​supposed​ ​to​ ​mimic​ ​the​ ​MacBook’s​ ​“Finder”​ ​app.​ ​The Files​ ​app​ ​will​ ​be​ ​just​ ​like​ ​Finder,​ ​well-organized​ ​and​ ​searchable. iOS​ ​app​ ​development​ ​companies​​ ​are​ ​now​ ​able​ ​to​ ​integrate​ ​Files into​ ​the​ ​app’s​ ​they​ ​build,​ ​to​ ​that​ ​individual​ ​apps​ ​will​ ​be​ ​listed​ ​inside of​ ​Files;​ ​this​ ​makes​ ​it​ ​very​ ​easy​ ​to​ ​transfer​ ​doc’s​ ​between​ ​apps.

Other​ ​Awesome​ ​Features Our​ ​team​ ​at​ ​Codal​ ​(​Chicago​ ​mobile​ ​application​ ​design​ ​company​),​ ​has​ ​compiled​ ​a list​ ​of​ ​some​ ​of​ ​our​ ​favorite​ ​new​ ​features. ● Sending​ ​Money​:​ ​Money​ ​can​ ​now​ ​be​ ​sent​ ​through​ ​iMessages,​ ​with​ ​a​ ​simple fingerprint​ ​initiation. ● Indoor​ ​Mapping​:​ ​Maps​ ​now​ ​has​ ​an​ ​“indoor”​ ​feature​ ​for​ ​certain​ ​places,​ ​like malls​ ​and​ ​airports. ● One-Handed​ ​Keyboard​:​ ​This​ ​feature​ ​allows​ ​the​ ​entire​ ​keyboard​ ​to​ ​one​ ​side of​ ​the​ ​screen,​ ​to​ ​make​ ​it​ ​easier​ ​for​ ​the​ ​user​ ​to​ ​type​ ​with​ ​only​ ​one​ ​hand.

● QR​ ​Codes:​ ​Finally​ ​catching​ ​up​ ​to​ ​Android​ ​devices,​ ​the​ ​new​ ​iOS​ ​can​ ​now​ ​scan QR​ ​codes​ ​and​ ​will​ ​respond​ ​to​ ​the​ ​QR​ ​appropriately. ● Apple​ ​Notes​:​ ​You​ ​iPhone​ ​can​ ​now​ ​scan​ ​a​ ​document,​ ​and​ ​will​ ​even​ ​recognize handwriting​ ​on​ ​any​ ​document​ ​that​ ​is​ ​scanned.
