Reveal hidden features in iOS 17: Improve your iPhone experience
A few months ago, Apple released iOS 17, the latest operating system for eligible iPhones. Since then, several updates have been rolled out, with new features introduced with each update. However, there are many hidden features, settings, tweaks, and small changes that may have missed your notice but can greatly improve the iPhone experience. In this article, we will highlight some of the Notable hidden features in iOS 17 and how to get the most out of them.
Send photos easily via messages
Long pressing the (+) button in the Messages app gives you direct access to your gallery to send photos quickly. This method has proven to be faster than tapping the (+) icon, and then selecting (Photos) to access the gallery of your iPhone.
Easily add text to shapes
In the Photos app, after you add a shape to a picture using the Markup tool, double-click the chosen shape to insert text into it.
Decipher the washing codes in the Photos app
Use the visual search feature in the Photos app to decipher laundry codes on clothing labels. Simply take a picture of the laundry tag and tap the visual search icon in the Photos app to get information about the icons.
Notification sounds in focus mode
During Focus Mode setting, choose to mute notifications either always or only when your iPhone is locked.
Magazine app lock
To protect your journal entries in the new journal app, activate the (Journal lock) option in the app settings to prevent unauthorized access.
Schedule journal entries
For those who enjoy journaling but have trouble remembering to use the Journal app, activate scheduled journal times in the Journal section of the Settings app. Receive reminders to add journal entries at the chosen time.

Shake to undo changes
If you rearrange apps on the Home screen or modify widget positions and are not satisfied with the new arrangement, shake your iPhone and press the (Undo) button to return to the previous layout. This undoes the last change and restores apps and tools to their previous locations.
