iPhone users are familiar with the prominent placement of the “End” button on their devices, positioned slightly apart from other call-related options at the lower center of the screen.
However, with the upcoming release of iOS 17 in the coming fall, Apple has decided to relocate the red “End” icon to the right side of the screen.
iPhone iOS 17 To Launch Soon With Changed Features
This change will also involve moving other features downward to match the new arrangement, according to a report from AP.
Although Apple provided a preview guide for iOS 17 in June, recent attention has intensified as individuals explore beta versions of the upcoming software update.
Several images from iOS 17 beta versions have been shared by various news sources this week, revealing this minor adjustment that could potentially cause user frustration.
Apart from the relocation of the “End” button, other modifications have been made to the arrangement of call functionalities that were present in previous iOS versions.
Notably, the positions of the “Mute” and “Speaker” buttons have been swapped, mirroring the change between “FaceTime” and “Keyboard” options. Furthermore, it appears that the ability to search for contacts has been integrated with the “add call” feature.
Apple To Provide Beta Program For Testing Software
Apple provides a beta program on its website, allowing selected users to test software before its public release. Insights from these participants help Apple identify issues and improve software programs before their official launch.
In addition to potential changes in the placement of call icons, iOS 17 is set to introduce several new features for Apple users. These include improvements to autocorrect, the introduction of a new journal app, and live transcription of voicemails, enabling users to read and respond while a caller is leaving a message.
AirDrop now facilitates content transfer through a simple tap between two phones and will soon enable the transfer of large files via iCloud. The Music app undergoes a makeover with collaborative playlists and cross-fade support. Autocorrect benefits from advanced machine learning for improved accuracy and predictive abilities. StandBy mode presents a personalized smart display-style interface while charging. Interactive widgets on the Home Screen and Home app widgets offer enhanced functionality. Accessibility is also upgraded with Assistive Access and Personal Voice features. The Messages app sees upgrades with fresh elements like stickers, reactions, and transcriptions for audio messages. Additionally, a Journal app will be introduced later, leveraging machine learning to suggest noteworthy moments for journaling.
