New iOS 11 control center. Set up a new Control Center
Probably every time you buy new iPhone dreamed of simply holding it up to an old smartphone and magically transferring all the data, including Wi-Fi passwords, Apple ID, personal settings and passwords from the bundle iCloud keys. As you might have guessed, iOS 11 provides this opportunity thanks to the new Automatic Setup feature.
Everything works approximately the same as on Apple TV - when you bring your iOS device to the TV, tvOS offers to transfer settings.
Step 1: First, you will need two devices running iOS 11. That means you will either have to install the beta version or wait for the final version to be released.
Step 2. On the new device you need to go through standard procedure settings - select language, region, etc., after which you will be greeted by a new iOS screen Assistant.
Step 3: “Bring your iOS device closer to this iPhone” will appear on the screen. Next, follow the onscreen instructions. Data transfer occurs using a camera, that is, on one device you point the camera at a special pattern displayed on another device.
Step 4. That's it. As noted earlier, all Wi-Fi passwords Apple settings The ID and other information from iCloud Keychain will be transferred to your new device.
It can't be said that previous method iPhone settings and the iPad was too complicated or time-consuming, but Apple decided to make the process even easier with iOS 11.
Perhaps the most main feature iOS 11 – completely updated Item management. Firstly, the developers changed the design of the panel, and secondly, they expanded its functionality. Moreover, at Apple We made sure that each user could optimize the Item “for themselves”, that is, install there the options that he wants. Besides this, Now almost all icons support 3D-Touch.
Another interesting addition is quick access to the front camera
It's no secret that selfies have gained incredible popularity among users. recent years. Control Center has a camera icon that you can use to quick access to its most popular modes. For example, you can instantly start shooting with front camera, video recording, portrait shooting in slo-mo mode by clicking on this icon.
Copying results from a calculator
Undoubtedly, in the new edition of the software the design of the Calculator application has become better, but these are not all the changes that have befallen it. In addition, pressing hard on the calculator icon in the Control Center allows you to copy the latest calculation results to the clipboard.
Flashlight Power
3D-Touch technology is now included for the flashlight. Simply tapping the flashlight icon in Control Center will simply launch it, but 3D-Touch gestures will give you the ability to select one of four brightness levels.
One-handed keyboard
On Android option for one-handed typinghas existed for quite a long time, but with the release iOS 11 it has now appeared on the iPhone. You can activate it by clicking on the icon globe on the keyboard. In this mode, the keyboard will shrink and move to the left or right of the screen, making it more convenient to type with one hand.
Automatic removal of applications
Unused apps will be automatically removed from your iPhone. Often, users forget to keep an eye on this; programs accumulate, take up space in the smartphone’s memory and take away productivity. The new function independently solves this problem.
Siri - translator
The developers have improved voice assistant Siri. With your Apple device you don't have reason to worry about language barrier while abroad. Now about will not be able to translate a phrase from English language into Chinese, French, German, Italian and Spanish.
Drawings in Mail
The new version of the software adds the ability to send a picture in a message as an attachment. To use this option, open the “Insert Picture” tab in the pop-up window. Draw what you want and send your drawing as an attachment.
SOS signal
Now Apple Watch is not the only Apple device that has message function SOS signal. iPhone can now also call emergency services or previously marked contacts if you click on the power button five times in a row. In addition, in the “Settings → SOS Signal” section, you can choose whether the smartphone will make the call on its own, or whether you will do it.
Today in the second part of the article I will analyze the second block of settings. It includes three items: notifications, control center and do not disturb.
The article is aimed at beginners, but perhaps experienced users they will learn something for themselves.
Notifications
This section is intended for setting up notifications in iOS.
Notifications- These are text and/or sound notifications to the user about the application. These notifications are sent manually by application developers, or they are triggered by certain events within the application. For example, the developer can notify you about the release of new levels in an update, or the program reminds you about specific date in your calendar, etc.
The arrow in the screenshot shows the call to the notification center.
Notification style in the settings. Here is a list of programs in which the user can customize notifications to their liking.
The screenshot below shows the options you can select for the application. Please note that some programs may not have certain options - this means this is provided by the developer.
Allow notifications- main option. Feel free to disable it if you do not want to see notifications from the application in any form. There are applications that get annoying notifications- Then I’ll run here. Plus, when you first start it, as a rule, the program asks for permission to notify. If this permission is not given, then this item will be immediately turned off in the settings.
In Notification Center- whether or not to display notifications from the application in the notification center.
Sounds- disable if you don't need it sound notification. I'm turning off this option in applications that overuse sounds, because they often sound at the most inopportune moment.
Badge sticker- whether or not to display the number of notifications on the icon.
On a locked screen- whether or not to display notifications (including in the notification center) when the iPad is locked. If the option is disabled, notifications from the application will only arrive during active operations with the tablet.
Warning style in iOS 10:
You should know that the four standard applications have individual settings notifications. In particular, the Photos and Messages applications have an option Show thumbnails. If it is enabled, a miniature photo is displayed in notifications (if it was in the message).
The calendar can be configured separately different types events in the program (see screenshot below).
Notifications for mail are configured separately for each mailbox in the system. Very convenient.
Control room
Control room (or control center) is a panel that can be called up by swiping up at the bottom of the screen. This panel contains useful options for quick access to them. Unfortunately, the control point cannot be flexibly configured to suit your needs - you must put up with the functionality that it has.
The control center in iOS 10 is divided into two panels. The second panel is called up by swiping left.
Functions of the first panel of Control Center:
- enable/disable airplane mode, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, do not disturb mode and screen orientation lock
- screen brightness control
- launching the Clock and Photos applications
- control AirDrop, AirPlay and Night Shift(not available for everyone iPhone models, iPad)
The second panel is responsible for managing Music in iOS.
There are only two switches available in the Control Center settings:
On a locked screen- whether or not to allow the control point to be available on the device’s locked screen. With this option enabled, anyone without authorization will be able to turn on music, turn on airplane mode, take a photo, and more. I recommend turning off this option if you do not want unauthorized (albeit limited) access to the device.
Access in programs- whether or not to allow the control point to be accessible while applications are running. Sometimes it is important to disable this option in games where swipes are actively used (for example, Fruit Ninja) so as not to accidentally call up the panel.
Do not disturb
Do not disturb(or “Do not disturb mode”) - designed to switch the device to silent calls, reminders and notifications.
If the mode is turned on, then in the right top corner A crescent moon icon appears on the screen.
Manually- if you turn on this switch, the device goes into Do Not Disturb mode and to disable it, you must manually turn off this function. An alternative to this button is the switch in the control center.
Planned- here you can specify the time interval during which the Do Not Disturb function will be turned on automatically. Time can be specified up to minutes.
Call Allowance- here you can choose from whom audio calls and messages are allowed. IN standard application You can create a separate group of contacts that can disturb you even in Do Not Disturb mode.
Repeated calls- if enabled, then repeated calls from the same subscriber within three minutes will pass with sound. As a rule normal people They call back many times in a row if they think their call is very important. That is, you won’t miss the most important calls with this function.
Silence- here the user chooses whether he always needs silence while Do Not Disturb mode is on or only when the iPad is locked.
Some pitfalls There is no mode to use; all its capabilities and functions are obvious.
See you in the next issues.
Apple's annual conference for application developers, the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), has opened in San Jose. The event turned out to be more than eventful: the company showed updated MacBooks, and even its own AR platform, but the upcoming 11th iOS versions Didn't spend much time.
With iOS 11 it will appear on i-devices new program"Files" for organizing documents, Dock on iPad, the ability to drag and drop content from one application to another, money transfers in "Messages", redesigned store design App Store and "control room". Other, no less significant, but behind-the-scenes functions that Apple simply did not have time to talk about were collected by Vesti.Hi-tech.
Comfortable one-handed text entry
iOS 11 can significantly simplify text entry when the user holds the smartphone (especially its Plus version) with one hand. To enable “one-handed” mode, you need to hold your finger on the globe icon and select one of three keyboard positions from the list: center (default), left or right.
"Chat" with Siri
With Apple's assistant in iOS 11, you can not only talk, but also correspond. By turning on the Type to Siri setting ("General" → " Universal Access"), the user, holding down the "Home" button, will be able to give instructions to the assistant using text rather than voice.
Quickly enter numbers and symbols
The keyboard on the iPad has received quick input alternative symbols, numbers, currencies and punctuation - these are now displayed on the keys themselves light color. To avoid pressing Shift, the user will only need to “swipe” the button down and release it.
Customizable control center
The control center can be customized at your discretion, removing rarely used functions and adding the most necessary ones. For example, you can switch on the auxiliary panel energy saving mode, changing font size, screen recording and even apple remote TV, and remove the flashlight and calculator. However, the location of the buttons cannot be changed.
Hide unused apps
A feature will appear in Settings in iOS 11 that will automatically remove programs if they have not been launched for a long time. Data and documents associated with a particular application will remain in memory in case the user wants to reinstall long-forgotten software.
Easy to read fonts
Headings in "Contacts", subheadings in "Photo" and Apple Music, as well as the buttons for the “Calculator” and “Phone” are now highlighted in bold text and are easier to notice. The same changes were made to the official Apple website, where the company almost completely abandoned the thin version of the font.
FLAC audio file support
iOS 11 will be able to play music in high-quality, lossless FLAC format right out of the box. Previously, Apple completely ignored support for this format in the OS and iTunes, and users had to look for third-party media players to play FLAC files.
Dark design
On the left is a “smart” inversion, on the right is a regular one
Expected full" dark theme", which could save battery power and extend the operating time of the device by highlighting only the necessary pixels, did not appear in iOS 11. But a “smart” inversion function appeared, which changes the colors to the opposite ones, but only for some interface elements, without affecting the icons applications, images and videos. You can enable it in the settings ("General" → "Universal Access" → "Display Adaptation").
A friend with an iPhone running iOS 11 who comes to visit can be connected to home Wi-Fi in one click. The new OS feature automatically recognizes i-devices that want to connect to wireless network, and with the owner’s consent, sends them the password “over the air.”
More flexible control of AirPods
iOS 11 allows you to assign double tap to control music playback on wireless devices AirPods headphones, not calling Siri. For example, by tapping on the left ear you can pause, and on the right ear you can skip a track.
"Smart" drive cleaning
The new OS will tell you what you can sacrifice for additional disk space. By selecting the Storage and iCloud Usage option in Settings, users can free up storage by deleting old Messages conversations, email attachments, and data stored in iCloud.
The release of iOS 11 is scheduled for the fall, most likely this will happen in September-October. The new OS will only run on devices with 64-bit chips, which means the iPhone 5 and 5C, along with iPad tablets 4th generation will be left behind. Moreover, iOS 11 will “bury” almost 200 thousand applications, so the system will lose support for software written for 32-bit processors.
The abandonment of old architecture cannot be called a surprise. Earlier in this year Apple removed almost 50 thousand iOS applications from iTunes, long abandoned by developers. And the beta version of iOS 10.3, released in January, began to warn about the presence of outdated software on the iPhone. You can check whether your old but favorite games and programs will be available in the fall in the settings (“General” → “About this device” → “Programs” → “Program compatibility”).
iOS 11 brings new features and interface tweaks to your iPhone (and even more changes to your iPad). After unpacking your new iPhone or upgrading your current one, here are the settings that you want to check or change right away.
Do not disturb while driving.
Considering huge amount the drivers I see every day look not at the road, but at the screens of their smartphones, this could be the best new feature in iOS 11. It prevents you from being distracted by calls, SMS and notifications when you are driving. After iOS installations 11, one of the settings screens will ask you if you want to enable Do Not Disturb While Driving.If you ignored this question during initial setup, you can enable the mode by going to Settings > Do Not Disturb. You can set it to trigger automatically when your phone detects you're driving, when the phone connects to your car's Bluetooth, or manually. (For the last option, I suggest adding a "Do Not Disturb While Driving" button to new Center controls.) You can also edit the answering machine message that will be sent to anyone who texts you while you're driving.
Set up a new Control Center.
Control Center has received a redesign in iOS 11. All of its shortcuts now fit into one panel, and you can paste your options there and the order in which they appear. There are also hidden functions for many Control Center buttons that you can access with a long press or a hard press.Learn more about how to set up updated Center management read in.
Check internal memory.
Apple knows the pain you feel when your iPhone tells you it's low on storage and is offering some new ways to manage your storage space. Open Settings > General > iPhone storage" and you'll see a colorful chart at the top that illustrates how much free space what you have left and what takes up space in your memory.
To automatically clean up storage, set up unload unused applications. If this setting is enabled, iOS 11 will delete apps that you launched for a long time, when you have little free disk space. Don't worry, iOS 11 will save all the data and documents associated with the app you uninstall so you can pick up where you left off when you reinstall the app again.
Check the file format.
One of the most big changes happening behind the scenes in iOS 11, it can save you storage space. Apple is moving on to something new. file format photos and videos, which results in smaller file sizes. Photos use the HEIF format and videos use the HEVC format.IN iOS beta versions 11 my iPhone did not switch to new formats by default. To find out what format your iPhone saves photos and videos in, go to Settings > Camera > Formats and select High Efficiency to use the new ones. HEIF formats and HEVC, or select Most Compatible to continue using JPEG formats and H.264.
Find the Files application.
Finally, iOS has added a file management system where you can see all your files instead of searching for them in different applications. The new Files app lets you manage files that are not only stored on your own cloud storage iCloud Drive from Apple, but also allows you to add third-party cloud services, including Dropbox and Google Drive.
New location services setting.
iOS 11 takes control of how and when apps access your location away from developers and puts control of it in your hands. Developers will no longer be able to offer only "Always" or "Never" tracking options for location services. Now you will be able to choose "When using the application" whether the developer likes it or not. Go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services and configure settings for all apps that use location services.
