Apple iOS 17.4: Apple has made major changes to iOS 17.4, which might drastically impact how people use iPhones, especially in the European market. The first beta of the software has been released for iPhones that meet the requirements. With compatibility for third-party app stores, payment gateways, and more, this update takes the iPhone to new heights and ultimately lets others into the walled garden. In this article, we will tell you about all the major features that will be available with the update.
Apple iOS 17.4 features
Sideloading Apps
Although iOS 17.4 is finally opening the door for third parties to build their own iPhone app store, consumers will still not be able to download any application from the internet and install it on their devices. This will enable users in the European Union to install programmes from sources other than the official App Store. Since the iPhone’s launch, Apple has prohibited customers from sideloading or installing non-App Store apps without jailbreaking their devices.
Apple Podcasts Transcripts
Content creators will also find the iOS 17.4 update useful, as it includes the ability for them to upload their own transcripts in addition to Apple displaying automatically created transcripts in the Apple Podcast. Apple promises error-free auto-generated transcripts.
New Emojis
Emojis are a useful tool for self-expression, and Apple has added up to 100 new ones with the iOS 17.4 update. These include a phoenix, a broken chain, a mushroom, and more. With these emoticons, users should be able to text with greater information.
Updated Music App
With iOS 17.4, Apple is also making changes to the user interface of the music app. The listen now button has been replaced with the home button, which will direct you to a new menu that includes recently played music and recommendations, especially if you are a subscriber.
Third-Party Payment Gateways
App developers can now include their own payment gateways with this feature, which is again exclusive to Europe. As a result, subscription apps like Spotify may become much more affordable. Additionally, it may make it possible for platforms like Netflix to eventually allow customers to sign up for their services directly from the app. As a result of this development, some apps and games may now be more affordable because creators are no longer required to pay up to 30%. Furthermore, users in Europe should be able to make contactless purchases using alternative wireless payment services that resemble Apple Pay thanks to this update.
