As this same medium recalls, the American manufacturer would not be the first to introduce this compatibility in its assistant, since Google Assistant obtained multilingual support in 2018 and Amazon launched it a year later.

Another novelty that iOS 17 introduces is the full page screenshot, which Android has been offering for years with the option ‘Screenshot with scrolling’, with which you can, for example, save a complete chat conversation or a web page. Until now, iPhone users could only save PDF files of a screenshot.

Another of the features that have been released these days for iOS 17 is Screen Distance, a function that warns the user that they are using the device too close to the screen. To do this, it uses the TrueDepth camera.
