Big changes have come to Siri. The interface now looks more like Google’s “cards.” It also now has a type to Siri function. Instead of asking her out loud to do something, you can type it. This is great for all of those people whose commands seem to confuse the poor mobile assistant (shyly raises hand).
So many new and wonderful camera advancements have been added to iOS 11. Now your device can take low-light portraits with optical image stabilization and HDR capabilities. Plus, videos can be compressed, looped, trimmed and edited.
Showing friends how to use their phones has never been easier with the new screen recording feature. You can record whatever you’re doing on your phone — complete with voice-over commentary — and share the video.
Another keyboard update is the ability to access numbers without touching the Shift key. Just swipe down on the top row to reveal a number. Punctuation can also be accessed by swiping downward on letters.
OMG, thank the fruit-named tech gods. That annoying screen-stealing volume control is gone. Now when you’re watching a video, the volume indicator is located in the corner of the screen. Go ahead, hug your tablet. We won’t judge.
iOS 11 on the iPad features a new dock that can hold around 13 to 15 apps, depending on your iPad screen size. The apps can also be dragged and dropped to where you need them.
The old Notification Center is out and the new Cover Sheet is in. It looks just like your lock screen. It shows the two newest notifications and hides the rest. To view the other notifications you need to swipe up on the screen.
Since I often need to add notations to my screenshots, this feature is super handy. You can mark up any screenshot with various pen sizes and colors or highlight areas you want noticed.
The iCloud Drive app is gone and now there is a Files app. The new Files app will get your attachments and other files organized both locally and in cloud accounts.
You can also use the new Markup as PDF feature to turn any webpage, file or photo into an editable PDF. Just tap the Share icon, select Markup as PDF and it will get converted to a PDF.
The new 11 iOS has a hidden dark mode. You can turn the background black by going to Settings > General > Accessibility > Display Accommodations > Invert Colors. Then, toggle on Smart Invert.
