The new operating system of the Cupertino company, iOS 11, is taking over our news, and it could not be for less. What is clear is that the entire mountain was not going to be oregano for this long-awaited launch. We are testing the betas without rhyme or reason, so that not a single detail escapes you, we want you to be as prepared as we are to update to this new version of Apple's mobile operating system.
As great new features arrive like screen recording or the new screen engraving system, There are also some functionalities that many users have become accustomed to, these are the most important.
If by some chance you had lost yourself among so many news of what comes and leaves us in iOS 11, I am going to summarize the seven functionalities that leave iOS 11 in the most efficient way possible, let's go there.
No more integration with Twitter and Facebook
As many users know, Facebook and Twitter have their own section in the iOS settings section. Loading our user accounts in the settings section allows us to share and make many things compatible, an example is being able to automatically add real names and Facebook accounts to our contact list, on occasion even the photograph is synchronized if we do it properly . However, it is the synchronization With the calendar its main function, we will be up to date with birthdays and events that we have committed to attending. Goodbye to this section in iOS 11, Apple directly disassociates itself from Facebook and Twitter, although the accounts and passwords section of providers such as Google or Microsoft is still present.
The 32-bit era is behind us
Apple has been struggling to improve the operating system for quite some time, and much of this is up to the developers. In 2013 Apple innovated strongly by presenting us with an operating system and a processor that ran at 64bits, this opened a wide range of possibilities to users and developers. However, there are not a few lazy people who decide not to adapt their applications, leaving them in the open with 32 bits, hindering the normal functioning of the operating system. Never again, since 32bit apps will not work on iOS 11.
ICloud Drive app becomes Files
Apple has created a file manager to rule them all. Something that many users have been demanding for years, since many have not been entirely comfortable with the way iCloud Drive works, especially on operating systems outside of Apple's environment. The Files application will be compatible with the main cloud services and network storage, despite the fact that in iOS 11 Beta 1 we have not been able to make it work with more than iCloud.
The second tab of the Control Center has been eradicated
One of the most controversial decisions of the Cupertino company was to add a second tab to the Control Center, where we will have "Now Playing", the main multimedia control tab. How little use it had, now this tab will have the main buttons in the normal tab of the Control Center and we can see the face and the rest of the functions only by pressing and executing the 3D Touch function.
No gesture controls on the iPad
The iPad had certain gestural controls that allowed us to execute actions such as opening the application switcher in multitasking. Goodbye, now we will not be able to use these gestures with three or five fingers, everything will be subject to the capabilities of the new Dock and Control Center that Apple has been proud to present with iOS 11. The truth is that these shortcuts have been implemented on the keyboard, but in the previous Apple Podcast of Actualidad iPhone We talked at length about this great loss.
You will not be able to open multitasking with the 3D Touch function
As you well know, if you press hard on the left side of the screen of an iPhone with 3D Touch capabilities, the application switcher will open. Another functionality that goes away and never comes back. At least during the first beta of iOS 11 we have not been able to execute this shortcut, and it's a real shame. While it is true that models without a physical button will not be too affected, on the iPhone 6s with a mechanical button it can be a trauma for those who were used to using this shortcut (like me).
Other new features of iOS 11
- We won't be able to see the name under the logo of the applications present in the Dock
- We say goodbye to point coverage system, return to the classic bars that indicate the intensity from less to more.
- El shortcut to quickly enable or disable AirDrop in Control Center It has totally changed, it is not so fast anymore.
The only thing I will miss will be multitasking with the 3D touch, on the other hand, I can control multitasking with gestures on my 9.7-inch iPad Pro ...
The first thing on my iPad Air 1 if I can use the gestures of the 3 and 5 fingers, and I am in beta 1 of iOS 11
The second we are facing a beta and it is normal for Jaén it is the first, they may have removed it or hidden it, but it may be that it will be put back, although well personally almost all the people I know and unknown had no idea of that XD
But I don't miss everything you've said, because I like the music in the control center better like this, all in one
I have an i6 and an Air 1 with iOS 11 and I love this new operating system
regards
I add a feature that disappeared in iOS 11 and that I used a lot. By double tapping the home button, the screen is lowered halfway so you can easily reach the buttons at the top. In iOS 10 when activating this accessibility functionality it was possible to lower the notification center from the middle of the screen, now with iOS 11 it is no longer possible. The only way to download the notification center is from the status bar at the top of the screen.
