Apple’s iOS 11 is finally here, and while they showed off several of the new features it brings to your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch back at WWDC 2017, they’ve only just touched the surface of what iOS 11 has to offer. There are a lot of cool new (and sometimes secret) features to explore, so we’ve collected them all here for you.

From a new screen recorder to persistent notifications, a dark mode, and fun new annotation tools, the list goes on. Some of the stuff we wanted actually showed up, and we’ve attempted to find everything new that’s cool about iOS 11 right here.

Before diving into the full list of features, if you want to get some hands-on experience with them, make sure you have installed the new iOS 11 on your iPhone.

1. There’s a New Hidden Dark Mode Option

While it’s not the Dark Mode we wanted it to be, it’s the next best thing. Just head to your “Display Accommodations” and turn on “Smart Invert.” More info on this trick is available at the following link.

2. You Can Share Wi-Fi Passwords with Nearby Devices

No more do you have to try and type out long, complicated passwords on your iPhone. Now you can just ask someone already connected to the network to share their password with you over the air — no typing involved. As long as both devices are running iOS 11, it’ll work (and macOS High Sierra is even supported).

3. You Can Draw on Your Screenshots

Apple assumes most people who take screenshots will want to edit them right away, so they added a quick markup feature for screenshots. Just take a screenshot, then tap on the thumbnail in the bottom left, which brings up the edit page where you can draw using any number of tools. The thumbnail is invisible in other screenshots, so you can still rapid fire screenshot like you normally would. (You can swipe the thumbnail to the left to get rid of it faster if it annoys you.)

4. The Control Center Is One Page Now

Just like we hoped, Apple made the Control Center a single page again, instead of the clunky two-page version in iOS 10. Everything gets its own little section, and you can use 3D Touch to expand and interact with most of these options.

5. And It’s Customizable

This was another big item from our wish list, and it’s a good start to customizing the Control Center. In the settings, you can add, remove, and rearrange options in the pull-up menu, but you’re limited to Apple apps and services, which means no third-party app integration. Hopefully, this will come in the future, but we’re not betting on it.

Airplane Mode, Cellular Data, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, AirDrop, Personal Hotspot, Rotation Lock, Do Not Disturb, AirPlay, and the Music controls are all non-customizable, meaning they you can’t remove any of them.

6. The Flashlight Has Another Intensity Option

If you 3D Touch (or long-press) on the flashlight icon in the Control Center, you’ll notice that instead of three intensity options (low, medium, high), there’s a fourth one. The names have been removed, so you’ll just have to guess at what the fourth one is called.

7. You Can Screen Record Without Your Mac

Hidden in the Control Center’s customizable settings, there’s a new Screen Recording option. That means you no longer need QuickTime on your computer or some shitty third-party app that doesn’t work well (or at all).

Just add the option to your Control Center, then tap on the icon to start recording. If you long-press or 3D Touch on it, you can enable the microphone, too. You can turn it off the same way, or via the red status bar indicator. Then all you have to do is tap on the notification that it was recorded and begin editing out the stuff you don’t want.

8. Airplane Mode Remembers

Previously, when you toggled Airplane Mode on, off, and then on again from the Control Center, it wouldn’t remember if you had enabled Bluetooth or Wi-Fi while Airplane Mode was on. Now, in iOS 11, Airplane Mode will remember your settings so you don’t have to re-enable Bluetooth and/or Wi-Fi when turning Airplane Mode off and back on again.

9. The Music Player Square Has a Source Icon

There’s a two-arced icon (like a Wi-Fi icon without the pie slice) in the top right of the music player in the Control Center. Tapping on this icon will shoot you quickly to the list of output sources available. When you’re connected to an output source like an Apple TV, speakers, or even QuickTime on your Mac, it will change to an animated blue icon.

10. And More from the Control Center

Aside from the default iOS 10 options in the Control Center, there’s also Cellular Data, Personal Hotspot, Screen Recording, Alarm, Do Not Disturb While Driving, Notes, Accessibility Shortcuts, Apple TV Remote, Guided Access, Low Power Mode, Magnifier, Stopwatch, Text Size, and Voice Memos. There’s also the Wallet shortcut, which may or may not work better for you than the double-click option for passes.

11. You Don’t Need 3D Touch for Control Center Quick Actions

If you have an iPhone that doesn’t come with 3D Touch, you’re not left out in the cold again when it comes to quick actions. You can now long press on almost any icon in the Control Center to bring up the same quick actions that 3D Touch users get. This means you can now adjust flashlight intensity, among other things. Unfortunately, this long-press feature for older iPhones is only available in this menu, not on the home screen or elsewhere.

12. There’s a One-Handed Keyboard

Realizing that many iPhone users (like myself) have flocked over to third-party keyboards, Apple finally added a significant improvement to bring everyone back — a one-handed typing mode. This simply squishes the stock keyboard over the left or right side so you can type without stretching your thumb out too far. Now they just need to add swipe typing.

13. You Can Send/Receive Apple Pay Cash (Coming in iOS 11.2)

There’s a new feature called Apple Pay Cash that lets you easily send money via your debit or credit card (or Apple Pay Cash balance) to friends and family via the Messages app. When they receive it, they can make Apply Pay purchases or transfer to their bank. People can also send you money so you can do the same, and you can even request them to send you money in Messages. This feature is currently in the iOS 11.2 beta 2, and should be released in the iOS 11.2 final version.

14. There’s ARKit for Augmented Reality

One of the most exciting things that iOS 11 is bringing to the iPhone is ARKit, a new framework for developers to build augmented reality experiences in apps and games. This framework lets developers use motion tracking, surface detection, and ambient light detection capabilities on the iPhone without any additional hardware, as long the device has an A9 processor or higher. All of this means more augmented reality madness for your iPhone in iOS 11, so you’re not just stuck playing Pokémon GO forever.

15. The iMessage App Drawer Looks Better

While we’re in the Messages app, let’s talk about the App Store for iMessage. It looks way cleaner, slimmed down to a tiny row at the bottom which is expandable when you need it.

16. There’s New Screen Effects for iMessages

If you love Balloons and Confetti in your iMessages, you’re going to love the new Echo and Spotlight screen effects that the Messages app has in iOS 11. Not much more to say here. Just seem them in action below.

17. Messages Can Be Stored in iCloud (Coming Soon)

Yep, this means that all of your messages on your iPhone can finally really be synced with your messages on your Mac. Previously, it was a big mess, and messages you deleted on your iPhone would not delete on your Mac as well. This is a huge privacy concern, obviously, so this is a nice addition. However, it probably won’t appear until at least macOS High Sierra is released, since you can’t enable the option in macOS Sierra.

18. The App Store Got a Huge Update

The iOS App Store is taking a queue from the Apple Music look with its new redesign. It’s got a “Today” view jam-packed with information on new apps and in-app purchases, stories, and even how-tos. Apps and games also get their own tabs, and ratings and reviews gained new precedence. Developers can even respond to reviews now, which may or may not be a good thing, depending on how you look at it. You can see all of the new iOS App Store features in the link below.

19. You Can Disable In-App Prompts for Ratings & Reviews

While Apple was already readying this new ratings and review system back in iOS 10.3, the system-wide toggle to disable feedback requests inside apps only appears in a few betas here and there. Now, it’s back in iOS 11 (hopefully for good).

20. You Can Disable Auto-Playing Videos in the App Store

When you open an app or game’s App Store page, if it has a trailer it will automatically start playing the video, but you can easily prevent that from happening by turning it off or changing it to “Wi-Fi Only.”

21. There’s a File Manager App

Touted as an iPad feature during WWDC, Files, Apple’s new file manager app, is also on the iPhone. If you can’t find your iCloud Drive app, it’s because it’s now a part of Files. If you have Google Drive, Dropbox, and Box installed, you’ll be able to see those in the Files app as well, and more third-party cloud storage services will be supported in the future.

22. You Can Scan QR Codes in the Camera App

Say goodbye to all of your QR code apps, because you don’t need them anymore. Apple built a QR code scanner right into the Camera app, so all you have to do is point your camera at a QR code and it will prompt you with what to do next, whether it’s opening up a link in Safari, adding a number to your contacts, or joining a Wi-Fi network.

23. There’s a Hidden Camera Level

While it’s not on by default, the Camera app does have a new superpower that helps you take better overhead-view photos and even skyward pics. Crosshairs will appear to help you properly level the iPhone so you get perfect pics either straight down or straight up. To see how to unlock this feature, check out the following guide.

24. Portrait Mode Works with OIS, HDR & Flash

For some reason, Apple omitted these options with Portrait mode on the iPhone 7 Plus, but iOS 11 adds support for them. Optical image stabilization is always on now, and you can use either the high dynamic range option or flash when taking “Depth Effect” portraits.

25. And Portrait Mode Hides the Normal Photo

When you take a photo using Portrait Mode’s depth effect in iOS 10, the normal photo is saved as a separate file in your Photos app (unless you toggle that option off). Now, in iOS 11, it hides the normal photo behind the depth effect so there’s only one image showing in your Photos app. It’s very similar to how disabling the Live Photo effect works.

26. There Are New Formats for Pics & Videos

Previously, the Camera app would shoot pictures in JPEG and videos in H.264. Well, in iOS 11, Apple has bumped that up to compression formats that can save you twice as much space (up to two times better compression). The new HEIF (High Efficiency Image Format) will take the place of the old JPEG files, while videos will be using the H.265 video coding format. Of course, you can disable this in the Camera settings if you want.

27. GIFs Are Finally Supported in Photos

Previously, any GIFs you saved to your iPhone would show up as still images in the Photos app, but not anymore. They will animate now and will appear in an automatic “Animated” album.

28. You Can Drag & Drop Images into New Albums

The iPad doesn’t get all of the fun. There are a few drag-and-drop features available for iPhones in iOS 11, and one of them adds the ability to move a photo or group of photos from one album to another in the Photos app.

29. The People Album Syncs Across Devices

If you only have one device connected to iCloud, this isn’t such a big deal. However, if you do, you’ll be glad to know that the automated “People” album that Apple creates for you will sync across all devices now.

30. You Can Select a Still Image for Live Photos

Previously, the only way to select the still image you wanted to use for Live Photos was to use a third-party app like Google’s Motion Stills app. It was a big deal, since sending a Live Photo to a friend on Android wouldn’t show what you actually wanted to show. Now, Apple has fixed this. Just tap on the Edit icon at the bottom, then drag the cover photo frame on the slider to wherever you want. Tap on “Make Key Photo” to set it, then “Done” to finalize.

31. You Can Also Trim Live Photos

From the same edit menu just mentioned above, you can also trim Live Photos. Just press and hold on one of the ends of the slider, trim to your liking, and hit “Done” to finalize. You can always revert the changes later by entering the edit menu again.

32. There Are New Loop & Bounce Live Photo Effects

If the previous two Live Photos features weren’t enough, Apple also added a couple cool motion effects for Live Photos — Loop and Bounce. The former loops it like a normal GIF would, and the latter just bounces the video back and forth endlessly.

33. There Are Long Exposures!

Okay, so it’s not a long exposure feature in the Camera app, but it’s still cool. Just set up the scene you’d like to take a long exposure for, snap the pic with Live Photo enabled, then edit it just like you would for the Loop and Bounce effects, only this time select the Long Exposure option. Pretty sweet, right?

34. You Can Send Android Users Some Live Photos

While sending a regular Live Photo from an iPhone via MMS will still result in a still image for Android users, the Live Photos with Loop or Bounce effects will be sent as MP4 files. Right now, this is pretty buggy, and we had a small success rate, but it’s the start of something good.

35. And Turn Them into GIFs via Mail

Just like the above tip, if you send a Live Photo with a Loop or Bounce effect via the Mail app, it will automatically be converted to a GIF file that any recipient can see. Now we’d just love the ability to turn regular Live Photos as GIFs, since Live Photos sent via Mail will still only be a still JPEG image.

36. GIFs & Live Photo Effects Get Thier Own Album

Like mentioned above in the section on newly added GIF support, there is a new album that’s automatically created in the Photos app called “Animated.” If you have any GIFs, loops, or bounces, they will all show up here.

37. Memories Videos Get Optimized Portrait View

You could always rotate your iPhone’s screen and watch a Memories video in either landscape or portrait mode, but the video would not be optimized for the new orientation. Now, in iOS 11, the video looks good no matter what orientation you’re watching it in.

38. And There Are More Memories

Apple uses machine learning to help create even more memories for you to enjoy in the Photos app. New additions include weddings, birthdays, pets, babies, outdoor activities, performances, and sporting events.

39. You Can Take Live Photos in FaceTime

Just like you can take pictures while shooting video in the Camera app, you can snap screenshots of video calls in the FaceTime app. Not only that, they aren’t normal screenshots — they’re Live Photos. Both users on the FaceTime video call need to be running iOS 11 for this to work.

40. FaceTime Has a New Outgoing Ringtone

The default ringtone that you would hear when calling someone on FaceTime was fairly high-pitched (and annoying) before. Now it’s more subtle and deep.

41. It’s Easier to Save & Mark Up PDFs Now

You could previously save webpages, notes, photos, and other files as PDF files and mark them up afterward, but it was kind of a pain in the ass — especially for adding markup. iOS 11 has simplified this with a “Markup as PDF” button in the share sheet, which is much faster all around.

42. You Can Make Notifications Persistent

While I’m not sure who exactly would want to enable this feature, I’m sure there are a few good use-cases for needing to have those banner notifications you get stay there until you dismiss them. If that sounds like something you want, it’s pretty easy to set up in your Notification settings for apps that support banners.

43. And Disable Notification Previews for All Apps

Previously, you could only disable notification previews on your lock screen or Cover Sheet (aka Notifications Center) for select Apple apps, but iOS 11 just opened it up to every app on your device. When enabled, you’ll still get the notification, only the body of it will simply say “Notification” and that’s it.

44. You Can Block Apps from Your Notifications History

Another cool change to the notifications system is that you can block individual apps from showing up in the “Recent Notifications” that appear on the Cover Sheet from a locked or unlocked state. You will still get notifications on your lock screen, but they won’t make it into the “Earlier Today,” “Yesterday,” etc. sections.

45. 32-Bit Apps No Longer Work

Okay, this may sound like a negative thing to you, but to me, it gives me a reason to finally get rid of all the apps that are no longer working anyway. Most of the apps that haven’t been updated to 64-bit apps just don’t function like they used to, and I never use them anyway.

46. There’s Indoor Maps for Malls & Airports

If you’ve ever had a hard time finding a public restroom in a shopping mall or airport, you’ll appreciate this. Apple Maps now has indoor maps for the floor plans of malls and airports — they even work on different levels. We haven’t seen any locations around us supported yet, but hopefully soon!

47. Navigation in Maps Now Has Lane Guidance & Speed Indicator

Apple wants to make sure you don’t miss your exit next time, or get pulled over for a speeding ticket when you missed that tricky speed limit sign way back there. Speed limit indicators are only available for certain roads, but it’s a decent start.

48. And There’s Do Not Disturb While Driving

Perhaps the biggest Maps addition in iOS 11 is the “Do Not Disturb While Driving” mode. It will automatically kick in when it senses that you’re driving or when you’re connected to your car’s Bluetooth. You can even toggle it on or off via the new Control Center icon. Anyone in your favorites list will get a message that lets them know you’re driving, and they can break through that barrier by following up with “urgent” as a text.

49. You Can Zoom Maps with Only Your Thumb

Zooming in was always pretty easy to do with one thumb only since you can just double-tap on the Maps screen to do so. But zooming out was the tricky part. There was no way to do this using only one finger, but iOS 11 has fixed that. Just double-tap and hold, then move your finger up on the screen to zoom in and down to zoom out.

50. And Get Light Guidance During Navigation

If you’ve ever found Maps almost nagging navigational directions annoying, you can now slim up those baby steps and “tap for light guidance,” which gives you an overview of your drive instead of the step-by-step view. You could always zoom out before, but when a new turn came up, you’d get kicked back into step-by-step mode. This new one keeps you zoomed out no matter what.

51. There Are Virtual Reality ‘Flyover’ Cities

Apple has included a “Flyover” feature in Maps ever since iOS 6, and a “City Tours” feature since iOS 8. But now, in iOS 11, you get the best of both worlds in virtual reality. With the help of ARKit, you can spin your iPhone around to navigate a city in VR, and it gets even more impressive if you have a VR headset.

52. Emergency SOS Is Now Finally on iPhones

While the Apple Watch got some Emergency SOS love already, as well as some iOS 10 betas, the iPhone feature has only been live in India so far. Now, it looks like iOS 11 is making it available to everyone in the US. This feature lets you click the sleep/wake (aka power) button 5 times fast to start a call to 911, and you have the option to set up emergency contacts that will get constant text updates as to your location.

53. And It Doubles as a ‘Cop Button’

If you’re scared of ever having to use your fingerprint to unlock your iPhone because of warrant that law enforcement could present to you, Apple has you covered. Whether intentional or not, when you initiate Emergency SOS, iOS 11 automatically disables your Touch ID, and the only way you can get it back up again is to input your passcode.

54. iPhone-to-Computer Security Is Better

When you connect an iPhone to a new computer, iTunes will ask you to click on “Continue” to allow the computer to access information on the iPhone. Once done, a prompt on your iPhone will ask you to either “Trust” or “Don’t Trust” the computer. This is how it works on iOS 11 and previous versions of iOS. However, iOS 11 added a new security feature that also requests that you input your passcode on your iPhone before continuing — even if your iPhone is already unlocked.

55. The Passcode Screen Is Slightly Different

Not a huge change, but the passcode screen on the lock screen looks a little different with buttons that stand out a little more than before.

56. The Calculator Got a New Look

Another minor visual change, but the Calculator got a new home screen icon and the app itself is now based on circular buttons rather than squares. The colors are still the same, only black covers more of the background.

57. And So Did a Bunch of App Icons

Aside from the new Calculator app icon, a few other stock Apple apps got refreshed, including Contacts, App Store, Camera, Maps, Notes, Reminders, iTunes Store, and iCloud Drive (now Files). Other stock apps got either minimal icon updates or none at all.

58. You Can Move Multiple Items at Once

It’s now easier than ever to organize your home screen. When you go into edit mode on the home screen, you can hold one app or folder, then tap others to join it in a group move. Then you just move the group to a folder, the dock, or another home screen page and let go. Pretty awesome. If you have an iPad Pro with the new drag and drop feature, you can select multiple things to drag and drop at the same time, just like with home screen icons.

59. The Apps in the Dock Have No Text

Some of the best “glitches” in older iOS versions were the ones that let you remove app and folder labels on the home screen. If the icon itself cannot visually explain what the app is, then the developer should get a better designer. That’s how I always thought of it. Even with folders, you can tell what folders there are by the apps in them. It’s just a much cleaner look overall.

So, while iOS 11 hasn’t enabled this as an actual option yet, Apple has started the process by removing the text for apps and folders in the Dock.

60. There’s No More Home Screen in the App Switcher

Why did we ever need a page for the home screen in the App Switcher anyway? Thankfully, iOS 11 removed it, so to get back to your home screen, just press the home button or tap on the background in the App Switcher.

61. The Battery Icon Looks Slightly Better

I guess this is up for debate, but the battery icon in the status bar looks a tad bit better.

62. There’s Another Way to Power Down

While you could power down your iPhone with AssistiveTouch previously, it’s not that great of an option if you don’t have another use for the Accessibility setting. Now, iOS 11 has fixed that issue, giving us a third way to power down when we need it, and it’s right in the Settings menu.

63. There’s Also Another Way to Restart

Speaking of AssistiveTouch, Apple has added a quick way to restart your iPhone using the AssistiveTouch menu. So if you need to restart your iPhone and don’t want to power it down then manually turn it back on, or worse yet — use the “Bold Text” trick and be stuck with bold text everywhere — then you can do so right on your screen.

64. There Are More New AssistiveTouch Options

In the new AssistiveTouch menu, you can not only restart your iPhone now, but you can access the app switcher, enable Emergency SOS, use Apple Pay, or even start Reachability mode.

65. Your iPhone Can Automatically Answer Calls

The next time you’re cooking food and have dirty hands, you won’t need to quickly rinse them off to accept a new phone call — your iPhone can automatically answer it for you and put it on speakerphone. There are just a few Accessibility settings to tweak to get this up and running.

66. You Can Finally Type to Siri

We’re not sure why this feature wasn’t built in sooner, but after changing one simple Accessibility setting, you can turn the home screen shortcut for Siri from talking to typing only. If you still want to talk to Siri, you can just use the “Hey, Siri” command, so you’ve got the best of both worlds.

67. Siri Can Translate English to Other Languages

Siri can now translate English to Chinese, German, Italian, French, and Spanish, so if you ever need to ask someone something while you’re traveling abroad, you can just have Siri ask them. You can’t have another language translated into English just yet, but hopefully that’s coming.

68. There Are Siri Suggestions

Siri can offer up personalized recommendations to you in Safari, Maps, Messages, and News, based off your usage in other apps. If someone asks you how far away you are in Messages, Siri might suggest the exact answer in miles or minutes based on your current location. To read more about how this works, check out our Siri roundup:

69. Siri Sounds More Natural

It doesn’t sound like much, but if you’ve ever used Siri before, you’ll know just how much better she (or he) sounds now in iOS 11. Siri’s new male and female voices are more natural and expressive, adjusting intonation, pitch, emphasis, and tempo as they speak.

70. Third-Party Apps Get Siri Integration

We haven’t seen this one in the works just yet, but Siri will be able to help you out in apps such as OmniFocus 2, Evernote, Citi Mobile, Things 3, and WeChat. More apps will surely be added to this list in the coming months.

71. There Are Recommendations for Saving Storage Space

In the updated storage management system, Apple now gives you recommendations on ways to free up space on your iPhone, like auto-deleting old conversations in Messages, emptying your “Recently Deleted” album in Photos, or storing your messages in iCloud.

72. You Can ‘Offload’ Apps to Save Storage Space

One of the recommendations above, as you could probably tell, is to “Offload Unused Apps.” This setting lets you delete apps that you’re not using off your iPhone while retaining the documents and data for them so you can download the apps again later when you need them — without having to start from scratch. Then, when you start running out of space, your iPhone will ditch unused apps to free up space. You can also set this for apps individually if you want.

73. You Can Delete Message Attachments Easier

Also in the new storage management system is the ability to review and delete all of the attachments in your Messages app. You can sort by photos, videos, GIFs and stickers, and everything remaining. Then just delete away as necessary.

74. The Special Facebook & Twitter Integration Are Gone

That might sound like a bad thing, but it’s actually for the best. Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, and Vimeo no longer get special treatment in the Settings app. After all, how many of you actually found this useful? Instead of the deafult login options for these four apps, they will now work just like any other third-party app in iOS — by utilizing the share sheet menu.

75. You Can Track Flights in Safari

If you need to keep track of a friend or family member’s flight, you can do so now right from Safari without a ton of work. Just type in the airline and flight number and Safari will give you some details about it right away. Tap on the details card to see more info about the flight, like its current route.

76. And Even Define Words

Some web searches in Safari will bring up Wikipedia cards or suggest websites with need-to-know info displayed right away — before you even hit the “Go” button. But if it’s just a definition you’re looking for, iOS 11’s Safari added a dictionary card if you add the word “define” to your search. It uses the New Oxford American Dictionary, so words like zyzzyva won’t show up, but the suggested website given can usually fill in those gaps. Plus, it does a decent job at predicting what you want!

77. Safari’s Video Player Looks Better

While the video controls in iOS 10’s Safari weren’t horrible, they look much better now, taking up less space over the video. The new volume slider for full-screen videos is a big plus, which shows only as a speaker icon until you use the hardware volume buttons or long-press on the icon, which brings up the slider.

78. Safari Prevents Cross-Site Tracking

If you’re worried about advertisers tracking you in Safari, iOS 11 has you covered. With Apple’s machine learning, Safari can intelligently prevent websites from tracking you using data gathered from other sites. This feature is enabled by default in Safari’s settings.

79. Safari Simplifies Cookie Blocking

As you can also see in the screenshot above, there’s a new option for “Block New Cookies and Data” in Safari. In previous iOS versions, it was labeled as a menu for “Block Cookies” which included options like Always Block, Allow from Current Websites Only,Allow from Websites I Visit, and Always Allow. If you never knew which option to choose, well, now you only have one.

80. Scrolling Works Better in Safari

For some reason, unlike in other stock apps, when you swiped to scroll on a webpage in previous versions of Safari, one swipe or flick wouldn’t get you very far. Now, in iOS 11, that swipe or flick has actual inertia, so you can control how fast or slow you scroll on a page.

81. You Can Add Tables in Notes

One cool new addition to the Notes app is tables, something that wasn’t possible before. The tables themselves are pretty simple looking, but that’s all they need to be. Plus, there’s lots you can do in them, like edit entire rows and columns at the same time, format text, delete info, etc.

82. Locking Notes Is Easier

When you swipe left on a note in your folder of notes, there’s an extra option to “Lock Note.” Previously, you would have to lock the note via the share sheet icon, but now it’s as easy as swiping and tapping.

83. You Can Pin Notes to the Top

While on the subject of swiping notes, if you swipe right there is an option to pin a note to the top of your folder. This is great for something you’re always accessing, like a grocery shopping list or a weekly/monthly budget.

84. You Can Add Inline Drawings in Notes

You could always jot down little drawings in a note, but now you can do it without opening a new sketch window. That means you can make your sketches right inside the note while being able to look at the rest of your note in the process.

85. And Scan Documents into Notes Using Your Camera

Another big Notes feature is the ability to scan documents directly into notes using the camera. It even helps you make sure the document is straight so you get a clean scan every time.

86. There Are Also More Formatting Options in Notes

iOS 11 makes it easier to access the formatting tools inside notes with a cleaner, more intuitive interface. There are even a few new options available such as strikethrough and monospaced text.

87. The Mail App Has a New Look

Okay, it’s not that huge of a difference, but the new Search bar definitely looks better. From the people I’ve talked to, there seems to be varying opinions on the new mailbox label being larger when you tap through from the main Mailboxes homepage. But at least we can all agree the Search bar looks better, right?

88. You Can Add Drawings to Emails

While it’s not like Notes’ inline drawings, it’s the next best thing. Just select “Insert Drawing” from the contextual menu and you’ll see the sketch screen pop up.

89. Read Threads Auto-Collapse Now

Previously, all the emails in a thread would be open, which made it easy to get lost in all the messages. Now, in iOS 11, the read ones auto-collapse, so you can pay attention to what’s most important right off the bat. You can, of course, un-collapse the other messages by tapping on them.

90. You Can Drag & Drop Lots of Things

Aside from the drag and drop capabilities in the Photos app and home screen mentioned above, you can also drag and drop lots of other things inside the new Screenshots tool, as well as in Notes, Reminders, Mail, and the new Files app.

91. There Are New Wallpapers

Since the start of the iOS 11 beta, there was only one new wallpaper available for iOS 11. Now there’s over 20 total, and you can download them for any smartphone or tablet — not just an iOS 11 device.

All of these changes are great and make iOS even better than before. However, some tweaks are odd, even downright frustrating, like Auto-Brightness moving out of the “Display & Brightness” setting. We’re not sure what Apple was thinking here, but we are sure this change will bring a lot of confusion.
