Apple didn’t announce these iOS 17 features onstage

Apple’s Vision Pro headset dominated WWDC on Monday. Apple will release a major iOS update later this year. Personalized call posters, StandBy mode, live voicemail, and improved sticker experience will be added in iOS 17.

Due to time constraints, Apple didn’t mention many new iOS features onstage. The keynote omitted these:

• iOS 17’s recipe search builds on Apple’s computer vision expertise. Tap a food item in an image to find similar recipes.
• Image cutout, which lets users lift objects from photos and videos, is also expanding. Users can now “Look up” these objects to learn more.
• The Photos app now categorizes cats and dogs as people.
• Freeform will add watercolor brushes, calligraphy pens, highlighters, variable-width pens, and rulers.
• “Naked photos and videos that show the private body parts that are usually covered by underwear or bathing suits” will be filtered in iOS 17. Avoiding unsolicited nudes requires this. A pop-up asks users to view a sensitive photo. Users can also tap “ways to get help” after consenting to see the image. That option’s company resources are unclear. AirDrop, the system-wide photo picker, FaceTime, Contact Posters in the Phone app, and third-party apps will support this feature.
• Before viewing, users can blur sensitive images.
• Mail will auto-fill one-time verification codes.
• After AutoFilling verification codes, the Password section in Settings lets you automatically delete emails and messages.
