Have you already upgraded to the latest iOS 17.4, and you feel like there's nothing new except for those much-hyped new features? Don't worry, today I'm going to give you the secret of those hidden in the iOS 17.4 "treasure" features, whether you hold the latest model of iPhone 15 or the classic models, can make your phone more powerful and practical.
The iPhone is like an evolving magic box, and the iOS 17.4 update is adding more magic to it. Aside from those cool features that we all know, there are also some little secrets that you may have never noticed before, but which can bring great convenience to your life. First of all, we're probably going to talk about the "Quick Reply" feature, which comes to you like an angel when you need it. When you receive a message on the lock screen, you can reply to it with a simple swipe, so you don't have to unlock your phone and open apps anymore. When you're browsing the web, you can instantly switch back to the desktop app's "Picture in Picture" feature. Imagine you are watching a great movie and suddenly need to reply to an urgent email, just one click, the movie will shrink into a small window, so you won't miss the movie's exciting moments while replying to the email.
Of course, there are also the "Emergency Contacts" and "SOS Emergency Contacts" features that you may have never used before, but can save you in a pinch. In an emergency, simply long press the volume keys and power button, and the phone will automatically make an emergency call and send your location information to a preset emergency contact. There are also "Smart Suggestions" that make your life easier. For example, when you need to set a reminder, just enter the relevant content in the memo and the system will automatically create a reminder for you. The "Photo Mode" and "Live Filter" features make taking photos even more enjoyable so that every photo you take can be a work of art.
Siri, the virtual assistant we know so well, has now unlocked a new skill - broadcasting messages in the language of your choice. Imagine you're driving through a busy city street, hands on the wheel, eyes glued to the road ahead, when an important message pops up on your phone screen. In the past, you might have had to find a safe place to pull over or take the risk of checking and replying to the message. But now, with this new Siri feature, it's easy and safe. Just tap your phone or simply say "Hey Siri" and it reads the message aloud to you in the language you specify, just like a caring assistant. Siri delivers the smoothness and elegance of Chinese and the simplicity and directness of English. When you want to reply to this message, you only need to dictate your thoughts, and Siri will be able to translate your intentions into words and send them to the other party accurately. This convenience and efficiency not only make driving safer but also make our daily life easier, Siri is like a personal secretary beside us, always ready to help us.
In the vastness of the digital world, the iPhone is like a sturdy battleship, and Apple is the captain of the ship, always at the helm of privacy and security. They know that in this age of information, protecting users' privacy and security is like guarding a precious treasure. That's why Apple introduced Rapid Security Response, a tool that lets users quickly equip themselves with the latest shields against security threats without having to wait for the entire fleet to be upgraded. With iOS 17.4, Apple has once again demonstrated their power of innovation. They've equipped the iMessage communication boat with the new PQ3 encryption engine, a trend-setting post-quantum encryption protocol that acts as an impenetrable armour for the boat.
PQ3, the name sounds full of science fiction. It represents an unprecedented encryption technology that can withstand the onslaught of future quantum computers. While quantum computers are still a science fiction phenomenon, Apple has already anticipated and prepared for future threats.
Imagine a world where hackers are like a band of cunning pirates watching our communication dinghies and trying to steal our valuable personal information. But with PQ3's sturdy armour, they can't get away with it anymore. Whether it's precious photos, sensitive bank information, or important health records, they're all safe and sound under the protection of PQ3.
