ぁ Ꭷbito- Posted December 25, 2023 Posted December 25, 2023 Users can exchange contacts by holding their iPhone closer and send an automatic notification to a family member when they arrive at their destination This Monday, Apple launched the final version of its new operating system: iOS 17. Its predecessor, iOS 16, stood out for alerts to remember to take medications and tools that seek to help victims of gender violence. Now iOS 17 launches a function to share contact information between two users by simply bringing their iPhone together and also launches a service to notify a family member or friend that you have reached a destination or send them an alert if not. In addition, it incorporates a mode to turn the iPhone into a kind of smart screen, while it charges, and sends alerts to the user to prevent eye fatigue. “Raise your hand if you have promised to send a text message to someone to let them know that you have “It got home safely... and it was forgotten!” says Apple when presenting its new operating system. The arrival notification function is designed to communicate that a user has arrived at a destination and reassure anyone concerned about their safety on that journey. It is activated through the iPhone's Messages app and is only available if both people have iOS 17 installed on their mobile. After choosing a contact, you must click on the + symbol (to the left of the box to enter text), select the More option and choose the Arrival notification option. You can then set a timer (selecting how long you think it will take to get to a location) or enter an address. The iPhone knows where the user is going at all times and, if they do not approach their destination or do not arrive at the scheduled time, they will receive a notification about their own delay, to which they will have to respond within 15 minutes. If you do not do so, a notice will be sent to the chosen person and some data previously selected by the user will be shared with them; for example, the location of the device, the distance taken, the battery status and coverage. This feature will probably be useful for some people when returning home alone. “It's sad that I have to be happy because they invented the iPhone arrival notification, but I'm really happy,” comments a user on X (formerly Twitter). In the tests carried out by this newspaper, the arrival notification has worked correctly with some contacts, but it could not be activated with others. EL PAÍS has contacted Apple to ask about it and will update the information when it receives a response. https://elpais.com/tecnologia/2023-09-19/ios-17-las-10-nuevas-funciones-mas-utiles-y-como-instalar-el-nuevo-sistema-operativo-del-iphone.html
