iOS 11: Indispensable New Tips & Tricks

Since September 19, iOS 11 has been publicly available - both as a free download for many in-use iOS devices and preinstalled on the recently-released iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus. Furthermore, even if you haven’t yet got up and running with iOS 11, you are probably aware of many of its headline features - including the new iPad multitasking functions and support for augmented reality apps that use Apple’s ARKit framework. However, many other neat additions to iOS 11 are more concealed.

Typically, you probably wouldn’t even uncover many of those fresh functions unless you spent a lot of time looking through various screens of the Settings app or experimenting with touch gestures. However, we think it would be tragic if you spent many more months with iOS 11 without even knowing about the most exciting little tweaks that Apple has made to its phone and tablet operating system. Here are some that we reckon could dramatically change your iOS experience for the better.

GROUND CONTROL CENTER TO MAJOR... CHANGES

If you still haven’t made the move to iOS but plan to do so soon, how exactly will you be doing it? If you intend to jump on board by purchasing a new iPhone 8 or iPhone 8 Plus to replace an older model, then resist trading in that model just yet. Once your new device is with you, it will be possible to - during the setup process - hold it near the old one to quickly transfer the old settings. This can further ease the already straightforward task of transitioning from one iPhone to another.

Instagram Makes Teen Accounts Private as Pressure Mounts on the App to Protect Children- Instagram is making teen accounts private by default as it tries to make the platform safer for children amid a growing backlash against how social media affects young people's lives.

Instagram is making teen accounts private by default as it tries to make the platform safer for children amid a growing backlash against how social media affects young people's lives. The teen accounts will be private by default. Private messages are restricted so teens can only receive them from people they follow or are already connected to. Sensitive content, such as videos of people fighting or those promoting cosmetic procedures, will be limited, Meta said. Teens will also get notifications if they are on Instagram for more than 60 minutes and a sleep mode will be enabled that turns off notifications and sends auto-replies to direct messages from 10 p.m. until 7 a.m.
