When Apple implements the next change to iPhone software, your thumb will need to be ready at all times. Yes, your thumb. Apple is making a minor change to the iPhone software next month. Even though it’s small, it’s likely to disrupt your muscle memory.
It’s the red “End Call button” that’s moving.
Currently, the button is located separately at the bottom center of the Phone app, below the buttons to mute, access the keypad, or add a call.
The change being introduced is aimed at streamlining the app’s appearance and consolidating all functions in one place.
At its annual Worldwide Developer Conference, Apple showcased a range of new tools coming to iOS 17, which will make calling and messaging more personal and tailored, as reported by CNN.
Custom Image For instance, iPhone users will be able to create a customized image that appears when they call someone or receive a call.
Simultaneously, a new feature called Live Voicemail will transcribe a caller’s message in real-time, allowing users to decide whether to ignore or accept the call.
Keep Close and Share Furthermore, a tool named Namedrop will allow users to share their contact information by holding two iPhones close to each other.
Additionally, FaceTime will support the ability to leave video messages when someone is unavailable for a chat.
Other changes accompanying iOS 17 include more precise autocorrection, improved dictation in iMessage, and what’s described as “a more responsive Siri.”
