iOS 17.0.2 is an update that provides important bug fixes, security updates, and fixes an issue that may prevent transferring data directly from another iPhone during setup. The update is available for all iPhones compatible with iOS 17. Some of the new features in iOS 17 include:
-
AirDrop: A new way to initiate AirDrop allows you to share content or start a SharePlay session over AirDrop by bringing your iPhones close together.
-
Keyboard: Improved autocorrect accuracy makes typing even easier by leveraging a powerful transformer-based language model (iPhone 12 and later). Easier autocorrect editing temporarily underlines corrected words and lets you revert back to what you originally typed with just a tap.
-
Fitness: Redesigned Sharing tab in Fitness provides highlights of your friends’ activity like workout streaks and awards.
-
Sign-in: Email or phone number sign-in lets you sign into your iPhone with any email address or phone number listed in your Apple ID account.
-
Freeform: New drawing tools in Freeform include a fountain pen, watercolor brush, ruler and more to create expressive boards.
-
Crash Detection: Optimizations for iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 14 Pro Max.
It is important to note that iOS 17.0.2 does not introduce any major new features, but rather focuses on fixing bugs and improving security.
