Apple recently rolled out an urgent iOS 17.1.2 update to address critical security issues plaguing iPhone users. However, the excitement among Apple enthusiasts continues to grow as they eagerly anticipate the full-fledged release of iOS 17.2. After undergoing rigorous beta testing over the past few weeks, it is highly anticipated that the iOS 17.2 update will soon grace iPhone screens, possibly in the coming days or weeks.
Amidst the buzz surrounding iOS 17.2, there’s a lot of speculation about what this new update will bring to the iPhone experience. In this article, we will delve into the five most intriguing features that iOS 17.2 promises to deliver to iPhone users.
FIVE FEATURES COMING TO IPHONES WITH IOS 17.2 UPDATE
1. Change Alert Sounds
For many iPhone users, the ability to customize alert sounds for third-party apps is a long-awaited and welcome addition. Previously restricted to iMessage, calls, emails, and calendar alerts, iOS 17.2 will introduce the option to change alert sounds for all your favorite apps. Furthermore, Apple will provide support for customizing haptic feedback, allowing you to fine-tune your notification experience.
2. Control Apple Music History
iOS 17.2 introduces a new Focus filter that empowers you to manage your Apple Music Listening History. With this feature, you can grant someone else access to your iPhone for music listening without the inconvenience of receiving music recommendations based on their listening history. The Focus mode lets you maintain your music preferences without interference.
3. Action for Translate
iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max users have been enjoying the Action Button, a feature that is set to become available on all iPhone 16 models in 2024. However, with the iOS 17.2 update, iPhone 15 Pro owners can activate the Action Button to launch the Translate app directly from the Dynamic Island notch. This enhancement builds on the existing functionality of the Action Button, which already allows users to activate ChatGPT.
4. Warnings on Content
iOS 17.2 introduces an enhanced content warning system for your iPhone. While this feature will not be enabled by default, it offers valuable protection for users. Apple harnesses on-device machine learning technology to analyze photos or videos, automatically blurring any potentially undesirable content. This added layer of security extends to Messages, AirDrop file transfers, and FaceTime video messages, ensuring a safer and more private communication experience.
5. iMessage Protection
With iOS 17.2, Apple is bolstering security by introducing iMessage Contact Key Verification. This feature is particularly vital for users such as journalists, human rights activists, and government officials who often face digital threats. When engaged, iMessage Contact Key Verification alerts users in conversations if a state-sponsored attacker or malicious actor attempts to breach cloud servers and eavesdrop on their discussions.
As iPhone users eagerly await the arrival of iOS 17.2, these five noteworthy features promise to enhance the overall iPhone experience, offering greater customization, security, and control. Keep an eye on your device for the impending update, which is set to elevate your iPhone to new heights.
