What’s New with iOS 11?

- Apple Pay – Conveniently worked right into iMessage, Apple Pay gives services like Venmo, Facebook, and PayPal some stiff competition. Apple Pay makes it easy to shoot money to friends and family through an Apple Pay Cash account.
- File management – Yes, you read that right. iOS now boasts one of the most basic, integral features of virtually any type of operating system: a file management app, appropriately named “Files.”
- A new, improved Siri – Your favorite digital assistant has also received updates in the way of a new voice, translation features, and personalized usage features.
- A lock screen overhaul – Apple users can now view all their notifications right from the lock screen, though users who prefer to keep their activity private need not worry, as the feature can be disabled.
- The Control Center – Now, iPhone owners can gain access to a bevy of settings by simply swiping up to reveal the updated Control Center.
- Apple Maps updates – Tired of resorting to third-party navigation apps to make up for Apple’s shortcomings? You’re in luck. Apple Maps now features lane guidance, mall and airport maps, and a speed limit indicator.
