The just-released iOS 17 gives the iPhone’s call screen a makeover and includes new features like live voicemail, FaceTime messages and custom stickers. WSJ’s Joanna Stern helps you find what’s new. Photo Illustration: Jacob Reynolds/The Wall Street Journal

https://m.wsj.net/video/20230918/63b6aafa-1628-497f-a88d-f6e17acaaf23/1/hls/manifest-hd-wifi.m3u8

iOS 17: 17 Tips and Tricks for Apple’s New iPhone Software

Welcome to iOS 17 where you can leave a FaceTime video message like this and you can finally set multiple timers and even make a clone of your voice.

Phone: Joanna, are you really doing iOS tips again?

Yes, yes I am, not real Joanna voice, because iOS 17 is here and there are things that people need to know. Okay, so this year isn't really that dramatic of an overhaul, but if you look closely there are some useful tools. Though not too closely, because iOS 17 has a new feature that warns you when you hold your phone too close to your face.

Phone: I hope you'll do 17 tips for iOS 17.

You get 10 tips and that's it. Okay, fine, maybe I'll do 17. Let's do this. Number one, Contact Posters. This is my Contact Poster. It's not really video, it looks like this. This is the screen that will now appear when you call someone else or exchange contact information. You can design it however you'd like. I'll change it to a more modern font and maybe a white. You'd pick up this call, right? In the Phone app, tap Contacts, then your name at the top, then tap Edit in the upper right, then Edit again under your photo, then Customize to edit your current one. You pick a main photo or a Memoji as the background and then you can also change the size, font, and color of your name. You won't pick it up? Nobody picks up the phone anyway. Number two, NameDrop. Wanna share contact info? Stop texting your information and start bumping phones together. It's Joanna Jern and Joanna Stern. Definitely not the same people. When two phones running iOS 17 are brought near each other, you'll see this trippy effect. Tap Share and, well, that's what happens. Similar to AirDrop, NameDrop needs Bluetooth enabled. You can also use the feature to wirelessly share photos or websites. It's super cool. When it works. Nope, this keeps happening. Do something. You love each other. I just wanna give credit, Android has had this sort of feature since around 2017. Okay, I feel better now that I've said that. Let's move on. Number three, FaceTime video messages. Sometimes, when your friend or alter ego doesn't pick up, you just wanna leave a FaceTime message. After ringing for a while, you'll see the Record Video button. Press it and you'll get a countdown timer before you have to leave your, Hey, Joanna, it's Joanna. Just calling to say hi, hope you're having a good day. Call me back, bye. When you're done recording, you can hit the Retake button to rerecord or hit the green arrow to send it off. And sent. I hope she likes it. Oh. The receiver can play the message in the FaceTime app. Number four, Live Voicemail. Time for Grandma Joanna's old tech lesson. This is an answering machine. When somebody called you, you could hear the message out loud in real time. And if you wanted, you could pick up the call in the middle of the message. It was called call screening. And now it's back, kinda. When someone leaves you a voicemail now, like my mom here, you can see a live transcription of the caller's message, and you can pick up in the middle.

Mom: Can you just give me a call back when you get this?

Hello?

You called me back already?

No, this is a new feature where I can pick up in the middle of your message.

Mom: But now you're gonna screen it.

Yes, I'm going to screen your calls.

Mom: Great.

Live Voicemail is on by default in iOS 17. You can deactivate it by going to Settings, Phone, Live Voicemail. Number five, Standby Mode. Speaking of old school, Standby Mode can turn your phone into basically a fancy alarm clock. This is best if you have a nice MagSafe charging stand like this $100 Belkin Boost Charge Pro. But really you just have to make sure your iPhone is locked, horizontal, not laying on a flat surface, and charging. Swipe horizontally to choose between a widget screen, a photo screen, and a clock screen. In each of those three modes, you can swipe vertically to pick other options, and you can hold down on the screen for even more customization. There's also this cool night mode where your display auto adapts to low light with this red tin. Number six, duckin' autocorrect. Yes, in iOS 17, if you type a certain profanity that rhymes with the word duck, it will no longer autocorrect to duck. Duck yeah. Plus, when autocorrect changes a word, a bluish gray line will show underneath. Tap it and it will show the original word you typed if you wanna choose that instead. And, as you're typing, some word suggestions may pop up in gray. Tap on the space bar to insert them. Number seven, Screen Distance. Holding your phone too close to your face can be bad for your eyes. Apple suggests keeping the screen at least 12 inches away. But instead of doing this, this is how we should all be walking around, you can enable Screen Distance which warns you if your phone is too close. It won't let you use the phone until you've backed it up to the right distance. To enable it, go to Settings, Screen time, Screen Distance, and turn it on. This is a great feature for some people. On the other hand, I kept getting these. Number eight, Personal Voice. This is primarily an accessibility feature for those that are at risk of losing their ability to speak. To create a synthesized version of your voice, go to Settings, Accessibility, then Personal Voice, and you'll be asked to record your voice by reading 150 randomized text prompts. It's so nice to see you again. Are you on your way? Just letting you know, we're only at 30. Yes, 75, halfway there. "These findings led to the creation of the radio and other devices," 150. After that, the phone needs to be plugged in and locked so it can process the info, so basically it needs to happen overnight. When it's done, enable Live Speech in Settings, triple click the side button, and type in whatever you'd like to be said out loud.

Phone: This is me, Joanna, Joanna, Joanna.

It's not great, but there's some hints of me in there. Worried about someone stealing your voice? Well, Apple has built in some important privacy features here.
