Apple launched IOS 17.4 update New to its iPhone phones during the past week. Contrary to what is said, the changes were not limited to iPhone users in European Union countries only. Rather, the iOS 17.4 update contains many features and usability improvements for all iPhone and iPad users around the world. Here are all the details about the new iOS 17.4 update in this article, God willing.

 Apple launches iOS 17.4 update for iPhone users

As usual, Apple is not without surprises. The surprise this time is the many features and usability improvements it offers in its new system update. Initially, Apple introduced new features in its podcast application, improvements in the battery section and a new update to the stolen device protection feature. In the same context, Apple has introduced major changes in the App Store (Apple Store) for users in European Union countries.

New features in the Podcasts app

Apple has added a new feature to the Podcasts application, which is the ability to transcribe podcast episodes. This will provide you with a summary of any podcast episode as a transcript. It is worth noting that this feature is not linked to a specific episode, but rather you can use the written version of any podcast program present within the application.

If you want to try the new feature, tap the icon in the lower left corner. You will be shown a written version of the episode you are watching simultaneously. This will help you a lot if you want to learn a new language such as English, German, etc.

This did not end there, as Apple developed the search process within the podcast application, as you can search for any word in the episode that you are following by simply copying it by clicking on the search button located at the bottom.

Changes in the battery section

Apple has made some Changes in the battery section Through the latest update to iPhone 15 phones. You will notice the changes if you go to the Settings application, choose Battery, and the battery status will appear in front of you, either Normal or Unknown. In addition, it will not show you the percentage that used to express the health of your phone's battery. But in the opposite direction, you will see some useful data such as battery capacity and the number of completed charging cycles in the Battery Health section.

Update to the stolen device protection feature

In the scope of improving the user experience, Apple has made some updates to the Stolen Device Diet feature. After these changes, you can request a security delay even when you are in a familiar place. Simply put, you will have two options. The first is the permanent option, which is to delay security no matter where you are. The second option is only when moving away from familiar locations, and here the security delay will only be requested when moving away from places that you will specify as familiar.

This will save you more time to find your iPhone if it is stolen. It will also make it difficult for a thief to erase phone data or perform a factory reset.

Add new emojis

Apple has added a new set of emojis with the iOS 17.4 update. It also has 118 symbols. It is worth noting that the new emojis are either derived from existing symbols, or new symbols, especially for users of the new operating system.

Unlocking restrictions on the Apple Store for users in European Union countries

Finally, Apple has resolved the dispute over the App Store restrictions for its users in European Union countries. This is because, after downloading the new Apple update, iPhone users can download any application from any source. Whether from the official application store, or from any alternative stores. Not only that, but you can also try multiple new web browsers and select any of them as the default choice instead of the usual Safari browser. With all this, it has become possible for EU users to use alternative payment methods via app stores normally.

finally

These are not all of the features that Apple added in the new update, but part of them. We will present the second part to you as soon as possible, God willing.
