**Apple's New Features: Taking Photos to the Next Level**

Apple has been working tirelessly to improve its photography capabilities with the latest iOS update, and we're excited to dive into the new features that come with it. One of the most significant changes is the introduction of a new process for washing clothes. While not directly related to photos, this feature shows how Apple's commitment to innovation extends beyond just mobile devices.

However, when it comes to taking photos, Apple has been making some notable improvements. The first one washing normal process the next one tumble drying it maximum temperatures and ironing with a maximum temperature so it converts all all those icons into something that actually makes sense when using Spotlight search. Apple can also put shortcuts in here, so I can type in something like "photo of Higgins Lake" that can immediately get all of these jumps directly into photos that were taken at Higgins Lake. It can also suggest things like maybe different albums in your photos app anything like that, but of course those will take a little bit of time to populate but they can show up right here or as shortcuts down here in suggestions when using standby mode.

There's another new option to use your iPhone basically as a smart photo frame prop it up and you can have these curated memories showing off your photos right there on your nightstand on your desk or in your kitchen. It's as close to a Smart photo frame that Apple has created to date. Let's edit our lock screen, we're going to go ahead and tap and hold like we normally do, let's add a new one now when adding a person to your lock screen you may have this time where you have is like a perfect photo but it's not quite there so let's go ahead and try this out. We're going to add a photo here before you'd have to crop it out if it was like Too Tall it could be blocking it but now I can zoom out an apple kind of intelligently mess with the top of the photos, I can pull this out a lot.

This photo does not exist up here Apple has blurred stretch and add that black color to make this photo look perfect on the lock screen. It's a really cool way to allow more photos to be used right there on your lock screen. Look at that, look how adorable that is, that's so cool I love how they made the top of that works, you can use more photos on your lock screen.

Sharing via Airdrop has also been improved with iOS 17. You'll be able to pull two phones together and it'll use NFC to trigger the transfer via Airdrop. There'd be this cool little animation as a photo or your name card transfers across the screen. We tested those photos, it looks really neat, worked really well.

Apple also says later this year they're adding a new feature to Airdrop that allows you to continue transfers over the Internet even if your phones are no longer close together. So you can meet someone like "hey I'm going to send you this video it's a very large 4K video file maybe it's like a gig inside it's going to take a little bit to transfer so you can initiate the transfer via Airdrop then you can walk away, you can get on a train get on the subway and leave. And as soon as long as you have Cellular Connection it'll continue that transfer over the internet and go to the other device they don't have to be within proximity of each other.

It's a really great feature again arriving in iOS 17 probably by the end of the year along with the journal app. Let's look at the camera app, before we head into grid and level combined but now they're two separate ones so if I turn on level and then we go back to the camera application, a little level line will appear on the screen to help us get our photo perfectly level. So you don't have to use the grid, you can use one or the other it's a very thin line but I can give you an idea of how level your shot actually is.

**The Journal App**

Journal app won't be available by the time iOS 17 launches but it will be able to create these journal entries based on photos that you take. We can see that you went somewhere you took a photo of something and it can pull that into a memory inside of the photos app or inside of the journal app rather, and use that as the basis they're starting off point to create those curated entries that you can expand upon with text. It can see if you've done work out in these places any other photos or music list that you listen to all can be compiled into these journal entries it's really neat and I'm excited to see when this launches with iOS 17.

**Conclusion**

There are quite a few new changes coming with iOS 17, and while maybe not as many as we have in years prior, the ones they've added show how much Apple is still committed to improving its photography capabilities. From the ability to use more photos on your lock screen to improved Airdrop functionality, these features show just how far Apple has come in taking photos to the next level. Whether you're a casual photographer or an avid enthusiast, iOS 17 is sure to impress with its new and exciting features.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhere are all the new features for photos and camera that are coming in iOS 17. welcome everybody to Apple Insider it is Andrew here and let's go in depth on all the features that are coming to camera and photos as part of Apple's IOS 17 software update here we are in iOS 17. let's launch the photos app go to albums and then go down here to people and pets let's start with recognition Apple says with iOS 17 photos will be even better at identifying and differentiating people that are added to your pets and people album inside of the photos app it's really hard to kind of test this for ourselves we couldn't really tell that we had more or less false positives than we did before but I'm assuming especially with different people that maybe look similar like a father and son situation or sisters it's going to do better at differentiating them than it did in Prior versions of iOS the other new thing with this album if we scroll all the way down past all these people we have all these pets now let's go ahead and heart a couple of these I can add a name this one's Mosby let's go ahead and do that that's Mosby he has been favorited let's go ahead and favorite Oliver as well now a little heart there do you want to Dublin Dublin perfect so now we have some extra pets up here with my people so we got Mosby Oliver Dublin let's go ahead into any of these so here is Oliver we can see any photos you know me and Oliver hanging out uh you know on the chair it's able to identify all these photos of pets alongside of people do the same thing here for Dublin all these black dogs now I will say it's good but not great so this is Dublin but this right here is my parents dog that's MacGyver he's just another black dog that looks slightly similar so everything isn't you know perfectly matched but I mean we're talking about comparing black dog to Black Dog it's definitely a tough thing to do going back to all photos let's pull something up um like maybe this shot here of this iPhone this is in the new journal app I'll talk about that in a few minutes but maybe I wanted to crop this in with iOS 17 I can just immediately start kind of zooming in on this and boom a crop button will automatically appear I can tap on crop it'll jump it down to right where I had it so I can adjust I can adjust the framing if I need to but if I like where it is I can just hit done and I crop that photo in like one second without having to go into edit and cropping everything I just zoom in on the photo and immediately gave me that crop option hey I need to take a break for one second to introduce you to the all new Liberty 4 NC earbuds from soundcore by anchor soundcore's New Liberty 4 NC earbuds have been re-engineered to reduce background audio by up to 98 and a half percent and that's even been certified by SGS check out how cool these things look these use soundcore's new exclusive adaptive ANC 2.0 so using the custom 11 millimeter drivers they're able to automatically retune and create a noise cancellation curve that's unique to you and your environment every single time that you stick these inside of your ears aside from incredible noise cancellation and audio quality we have to talk about battery life these things are industry leading with 10 hours on a single charge if you plug them in for only 10 minutes you'll get four hours of usage time out of these things and combined with the case there's 50 total hours of playback time without ever needing to connect these to power you can plug them in over USBC or just toss them on your nearest wireless charger and power them up that way the soundcore Liberty 4 NC earbuds are out now you're going to be hard-pressed to find a better set of true wireless earbuds with noise cancellation this good audio quality this good battery life is good at this price point if you want to pick a repair there's a link Down Below in the description now let's get back to our other video when editing a photo Apple has now added labels to these icons down here at the bottom so we can see live adjust filters and crop before Apple just had the icon so it wasn't always clear for some people what things they did so now they've added a text to them and Apple has moved the cancel end done buttons to here towards the top so we're just going to hit like auto adjust there boom we have the done button where I can hit cancel over there and move it back finally and this is pretty cool I can take something in a photo like this car I can hold on to for a second you can see it kind of you know there's that glow around the outside I can now add it as a sticker I can create a sticker directly from a photo I can go and add any effects that I want like comic strip effects uh shining shimmering to it outlining it let's go ahead and add an outline hit done and boom I've just created a sticker from a photo and these can be used anywhere so I can move into a text message I can really go anywhere and just drop these stickers into documents into notes and I can make stickers based on my own photos let's go ahead and try with a pet here's another photo of Oliver let's go ahead and long hold on it I can hit add sticker and boom I create a little sticker just based off of Oliver there when in messages I can tap on the little plus button go to stickers and I have my stickers that I created I can just pull onto a conversation thread obviously I'm not texting anyone so it's not going to do anything but I can put them right here into my text thread boom atom just like that Apple's also making it easier to look things up so here in the photos we're looking at something from Disney World here I can tap on this uh spaceship earth I can add it as a sticker but I can also hit look up and boom that spaceship earth a geodesic spear sphere attraction and Main icon of Epcot down there in Walt Disney World pets are more accurately identified in photos so here I can look up dog it already was a dog there's a little pet icon down at the bottom and it does a better job in looking at breeds R is definitely not a lab but he's a mix so it's not gonna be hard or not going to be easy to figure out what it is anyway but yeah it does a better job at identifying pets and what breeds they are with visual lookup visual lookup can also do better with food so here we have a photo of well let's see what Apple thinks that it is so we can go ahead and tap on the visual lookup icon hit look up food and see what it finds look at that low calorie banana cream pie banana pudding fluff banana cream pie jello shots all sorts of different recipes that are related to the photo so yeah that's some banana pudding instant banana pudding vanilla wafer banana pudding all these great recipes I can see calorie counts times servings all this information here I can tap on any of these results to jump into Safari and learn how to make what I'm looking at in the photo or at least get close to it while playing back videos you can now pause a video and then use visual lookup so there's not much going on in this photo but if there's something here I can pause and grab an actual frame from a video and use visual lookup whether it's reading a sign looking up what a subject is in a photo any of that can now be looked up while you are just playing back a video visual lookup can now identify Auto symbols so here's a few shots from inside of my car tap on the little I icon and it can look up Auto symbols so here's the results I can see that one is for heated steering wheel that one is for ventilated seats that one's also ventilated seats ventilation fan ventilation air flow so I can see that's the lower outlet for air and then recirculated air is uh that last icon that was hiding somewhere off screen because it zoomed in but yeah it's able to look up Auto photos that are based on what's in your car a final trick using the visual lookup is solving your laundry questions so say you have a garment you're not sure what these mysterious icons mean well now we can use a visual lookup so tap on the I and tap on laundry care and just like that it gives us all these options so that first one washing normal process the next one tumble drying it maximum temperatures and ironing with a maximum temperature so it converts all all those icons into something that actually makes sense when using Spotlight search Apple can also put shortcuts in here so I can type in something like photo of Higgins Lake that can immediately get all of these jumps directly into photos that were
