iOS 11 is officially out, which means you can install it on your iPhone and iPad right now to experience some of the things Apple has been working on. If you’ve already tried the beta, then you’ve probably discovered all the secrets of iOS 11. If you’re experiencing it for the first time, however, you should know that many things are changed, while others are just hidden.
Control Center
Swipe up from the bottom of the screen, and there’s a new Control Center. It has a new design and comes with 3D Touch support. But the best part about it is that you can customize it to fit your needs. Customize Control Center from the Settings app.
Clearing Notification
Clear all notifications with a tap. Yes, you can, just hold onto that X until the Clear All Notifications menu appears.
Drag and Drop
iOS 11 does drag and drop. The feature shines on iPad, but you can also use it on iPhone in select apps including the Notes and Camera apps.
Annotate screenshots
You can now instantly annotate screenshots before sharing them. No longer will you have to open them in a different app to do it. Just click on the screenshot thumbnail in the lower right corner after you take one, and annotate it. Share it, and you can then delete it immediately from the same interface.
Indoor Maps
When your walking, Apple Maps will help you not get lost while walking in certain locations like airports.
Screen Recording
It’s finally here. Screen Recording is a great new addiiton to iOS 11, and it all “just works” directly from the Control Center.
I hope you find these tips useful!
