Apple released the upcoming operating system iOS 17 for all compatible iPhone devices. As expected, many of the rumors have been confirmed, but there are also quite a few absolute novelties that were not talked about at all until the official presentation. Let's see what's new and features iOS 17, which include the new app Journal and the mode Standby.

News and features iOS 17
As I said in the introduction and as anticipated, the users Apple they will have a personal diary application.
app Journal from iOS 17
Journaling is a new way to reflect and relive special moments. Record your thoughts about big life events or everyday activities. Add details to any note with photos, music, audio recordings and more. Mark important moments and revisit them later to discover new meanings or set new goals.
It is if you want a return to the classic diary of adolescence, in a digital form where we enjoy the benefits of technology.
With on-device machine learning, iPhone creates personalized suggestions of moments to remember and write about based on your photos, music, workouts and more.
app Journal for iPhone will be released in the coming months.
Standby – Landscape mode with support Night Mode
StandBy it gives you easy-to-view information designed to be seen from a distance.
Leave your iPhone on your nightstand or desk in landscape mode, and when it's charging, Standby can be activated and customized.
For the mode Standby you can add clock widgets, calendar, reminder, pictures, weather, plus many others. It allows enabling Night Mode to reduce user distraction during the night.
NameDrop – Quick exchange of phone numbers
A new feature that allows users to exchange phone numbers by simply bringing two iPhones (or iPhone close to Apple Watch).
Both users will be able to select the specific phone numbers or email addresses they want to share,
The NameDrop feature works with AirDrop, which also comes with new capabilities with the release of iOS 17.
By simply approaching two devices, with the help AirDrop one can quickly transfer the music or a movie that is playing at that moment (SharePlay).
Live Voicemail
option Live Voicemail I think it can be put in the top among iOS 17 news and features.
Cu Live Voicemail, you can view a real-time transcript of the message someone is leaving you as they speak, giving you immediate context for the call. If it's something you want to address right away, you can pick up the call at any time while the person is still on the phone.
I find it to be a very useful feature in the scenario where someone calls you and you can't answer the phone, but you want to know in real time what voice message they are giving you.
This option, through which you can see the real-time transcription of a message received in voicemail, is available in English for the US and Canada.
FaceTime – Record Video or Audio Message
A new feature FaceTime which allows users to leave video or audio messages recorded when the called party is not available.
Video messages can be composed with all the video effects present in normal video calls made via FaceTime.
iMessages – Stickers & Messages
For the Messages app and service iMessage we cannot say that very important news has been brought.
Added support for replying to messages in conversations with a simple swipe. In the same way as with the WhatsApp application.
The ability to extract elements from a picture and turn them into Live Stickers.
Transcription of audio messages received in conversations.
Live location sharing. This will be able to be watched live directly in the conversation.
