THERE ARE EVEN more fantastic features coming to iOS 17. For instance, the Health app will now enable you to log your moods and emotions, and when sufficient data has been built up, it will offer information to help you manage your wellbeing.

If you use AirTags — Apple’s Bluetooth trackers used to keep tabs on your possessions — there’s a new feature just for you. In iOS 17, an AirTag can be shared with up to five other people, a feature that also works with all other Find My network accessories. This meanscontacts can also track the location of an item protected with an AirTag using their own Find My app. They can also ping the AirTag so that it plays a sound, and when you’re close to the AirTag, use Precision Finding to determine its exact location.
