Hidden Features in iOS 17 you might've missed

Hidden Features in iOS 17 you might've missed
This is awesome and one of the best videos I have seen about this. Does this work for images and videos? If I am using my iPhone as camera and screen mirroring to my MacBook. Can I still use other apps on my MacBook?
It’s because they were extremely dishonest about Apple Intelligence
Also, I know that if I’m using an Apple app that it is reliable and will be around for a long time without any worries that it’s going to be discontinued. I love Apple and it’s reliability, and the flawless syncing between my iPhone, iPad, and Mac. In 10 years I’ve never had a crash or a glitch.
That is one of the best parts!
I don’t want to badmouth Microsoft because I used OneNote for many years because I liked its book, chapter, pages format, however, I want to get away from Microsoft for the simple reason that I know when they decide to stop a product, they just do, and then I’m left with 20 orphaned books that I’ve spent 10 years creating with chapters and pages. So I migrated to Apple 10 years ago and wanted an apple app for my Notes and I have watched dozens of TH-cam videos now to learn how to achieve the same goals that I had with OneNote. So thanks to Chris Cardoso in the video above for presenting about everything you can do with Notes on iPad, especially folders and subfolders. They are essentially the books and chapters from OneNote. Thanks.
Glad it helped! Thanks for watching!
thanks Chris!!

I’m on iOS 18.2 and very disappointed with what’s on offer. I was super excited for this after seeing how good go on for Gemini looked but I’ve found Apple intelligence to be pretty bad. Even with my account integrated with my gpt 4 account. Apple intelligence seems to know nothing at all and at most will just send my message to chat gpt which works out slower than just opening the chat gpt app. On top of this normal tasks I did with Siri like setting alarms are now noticeably slower. Really disappointing that everything you have said in this video still rings true for me. Very underwhelmed
Agreed! I’m not sure what’s coming next to make it better!
Appreciate the tips! The fact that they took away the total photo/video file count right there under your “all” folder is really annoying... to find it now, tap your iCloud pfp in the top right corner, there it will show your total file count.
Absolutely, thanks for watching!
Thank you! When you backup the photos library to a HD or NAS does it just backup the local smaller optimised photos in the library or the full originals from iCloud?
only the smaller local library. Chris says that also somewhere in his video. You should be aware of that. Perhaps better to export to actual folders and then make the backup. More time consuming, but in this scenario much safer. Unfortunately Apple charges insane amounts for extra storage otherwise you could just buy a machine with 4 tb SSD.
I’d recommend setting your library to hold full size images on your desktop and then moving that file to your HD or NAS. Otherwise you run the risk of having a backup without the full quality images.
IfApple keeps this, I might go to Android, this is awful
Time to buy a Google pixel!
I’ve never used a worse ai than apples, it’s a rotten apple!
Haha rotten!
Won’t it work with intel based Mac? I used open core legacy patcher.
Only M chip Mac’s unfortunately.
my macbook seems to not have the iphone mirroring app downloaded is there somewhere i can download it or not?
Are you based in the US and on the latest operating system?
@ figured it out thanks, realised i needed to software update, thanks for the help tho😁
Thanks.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for the explanation. Can you make a video explaining how to transfer pictures and videos from Iphone to an External Hard Drive? Keeping time and date and additional data.
Have been really struggling to find any info on that. At the moment using Airdrop but only sometimes files keep dates.
Will definitely look into this and see what I can do. Thanks for watching!
In EU the option is blocked:(
I know. 😢 sorry about that!
If I add a todo item on calendar and I don´t finish it is anyhow to keep repeating erveryday on calendar this until I finish the task ?
Unfortunately I don’t think this is a current feature. We can hope for it in a future update!
I am amazed you do not recommend getting rid of Apple out of our lives completely and go to some user experience that does not constantly mess( polite choice of verb) wiht our phone and our stuff. my photos are my work and THIS IS ENOUGH TO MAKE ME CHUCk this thing in the bin. I HATE APPLE even more now. I just want a phone that I am the boss of, not apple being the boss of me and my photos. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Haha time to buy a Google Pixel!
Man, you are a life saver
Glad it helped!
This is was so helpful! I really appreciate how chill and calm you explain things.
I appreciate it. Thank you!
How do you edit / crop a photo. Edit is gone
The edit button is the 3 horizontal lines next to the i button.
Hi Chris. I have a really special problem. Some photos are moved to pinned collection - Map. And I´m only able to see them there, not in main gallery, just in map collection, and try to find them by location. It was always photos with some kind of numbers, or qr code or something like that. I can´t find answer anywhere... and a googled a lot ...
Hmm that is very strange. I wish I had a better answer. But if you are positive that photos are in the maps section but not in your library that sounds like a bug you should report to Apple.
You assume I know what a pinned collection is. I don’t, don’t have any. Another Apple lover who has little talent for teaching. Especially, a difficult app.
You are so kind. Thank you for the encouragement.
Is it possible to allow reminders to sync from Apple Calendar? It would be extremely helpful to have my Apple Calendar automatically update with my schoolwork from Schoology (which it does already) to then create reminders with the same name and due dates from the calendar. Any help would be appreciated!
Hmm. So you have a calendar that comes in from Schoology with all of your schoolwork? I bet you could make some type of shortcut or automation that converts calendar events with due dates to reminders but it’s hard to say for sure without seeing it.
@@chriscardoso Could I message you somewhere so I can share screenshots---i'd really like help with this.
I think you kind of jumped the gun here - iOS 18.2 has ChatGPT integration, as does macOS 15.2. But I forgive you. ;)
Haha I appreciate it. I’ll have to do some more digging into 18.2 now that it is out.
😂

Hi ! Thank you for the video Sorry I wasn’t clear w my question that I had asked earlier ; when you had showed us how to make the iOS 18 photos app “closer” to the iOS 17 version, you checked the boxes of the sections you wanted to remove to “simplify “ the new version ,,so by revert back I meant can you put back those sections that you removed (on the iOS 18. ) in other words can you add those sections back even after you removed them ,,Can you do that? Thanks! (I haven’t updated yet and it sounds terrible! )
Yes you can! You can revert any section back!
Hi thank you for the video, after you customize, could you always revert back ? I have not updated yet , I’m reading how bad the update is and I already agree , I like the photo app like it always was .. so simple to use and less complicated, this sounds like a disaster … I’m hoping apple will go back to the original app before I update ugh 😕
When you are on iOS 18 you can customize the photos app at anytime. Reverting back to iOS 17 is a more complex process.
@ hi thank you for your reply ! Sorry I wasn’t clear w my question; when you had showed us how to make the iOS 18 photos app “closer” to the iOS 17 version, you checked the boxes of the sections you wanted to remove to “simplify “ the new version ,,so by revert back I meant can you put back those sections that you removed (on the iOS 18. ) in other words can you get those sections back even after you removed them ,,Can you do that?

I can't get excited about Apple Intelligence. It's just not useful to me. Period. WRITING TOOLS Rewrite robs me of my "voice," my unique style of expression. People who know me know how I sound. I don't sound like an AI. NOTIFICATION SUMMARIES As you said, it can often get things wrong. The only thing worse than not having an AI assistant is having one you can't trust. PHOTO CLEANUP Pure gimmickry. Total dishonesty. Doctoring photos is not my idea of showing what actually transpired during a photo shoot. If you're going to add or remove elements in a photo, why not go all away and create false photos in Photoshop? Add in a background of Tibet where you've never been and you can tell everyone about your adventures in Tibet. IMAGE PLAYGROUND Generated images often get things wrong, too. This is too gimmicky. GENMOJI I won't even bother repeating myself here. CHATGPT I can already run this on my iPhone 15. So what?
The extreme vocal fry seriously makes watching this painful. Great video otherwise.
📣!
It does suck now but I feel like you’re jumping the gun a bit it’s not even fully released yet
18.2 is out today! 👀
Yeah. Good point. If only we had some kind of benchmark or something to compare to. Like for example; EVERYTHING
You know why it's bad, coz they don't enough data to train their AI. Apple doesn't keep user data that much.
Haha true!
Samsung came out in the beginning of 2024 with AI features on the S24-series (all available at launch), and Apple couldn't even catch-up towards the end of the year. Galaxy S25 series next month will absolutely annihilate Apple's software lol.
I’m excited to see what they show off!
why do americans talk like a frog?
I agree that apple intelligence leaves a lot to be desired, however comparing it to chat bots is like comparing apples to oranges.
With the upcoming improvements to Siri and Apple Intelligence, I personally think they want Apple Intelligence to become your chatbot of choice where you ask questions, get writing advice, and use it for content creation. That’s just my opinion though. Thanks for watching!
What else would you compare it to? Gemini on Android, which is LIGHTYEARS AHEAD of Apple's AI?
Bro for a sec i thought you were pewdiepie 😅 Good video tho. Keep it up 👍
Hahah, that is awesome. Thanks for watching!
good video! also curious about your MacBook Pro's battery life? how long can it use for light work? 8hrs?
The battery life is incredible. If I’m doing light work or research in safari I can last 8+ hours. If I’m editing photos or videos I can get maybe 3-5 hours.
How can I UNLINK it. I don’t like that the most smallest reminders are all over my calendar
On iOS, go to the calendar app, select calendars, and uncheck “scheduled reminders” under other.
I agree with your analysis of Apple Intelligence as it is today, however, we are only 2-5 days away from iOS 18.2 and there are a lot of improvements with AI. Plus, we will have a peak at 18.3 beta likely around the same time.
True, I’m just not entirely convinced 18.2 will give me useful features that I’ll use on a regular basis.
90% of it doesn't work and just gives an error in my experience
Yeah I like Chat GPT too! Maybe Apple Intelligence will progress like the iPhones…? 🤷♂️ Maybe it’s Apple Intelligence 1 right now but what about when the Apple Intelligence 16 Pro Max is released?! 😂
I can’t wait for Apple Intelligence 16 pro max! 😂
The repeating tasks on iOS is a little more clunky compared to others. I always get drawn back to THings though as its just so darn beautiful. This is coming from a Windows a Linux user using an iPhone!
I agree, it’s such a good looking app!
Hi Chris, great video! I saw the 3 watches you included, but which watch is on your wrist?
It’s a custom built watch! Most of the parts came from Namoki Mods. It’s a pretty fun experience if you’ve never tried it.
no, this is the best. In the Calendar app, you can create a reminder by tapping the plus (+) button or touching and holding the date or time of day. Then, tap the Reminder tab.
I am sick of Apple deciding how the software works I want the right to go back to how the photos were organized before… no dates on the photos? Really because the image data is there??? WTF? I HATE this UPGRADE. It is the worst ever!
It’s such a strange deviation from the old photos app! 😢
WHERE ARE DATES ON THE PHOTOS? I relied on this to find photos… help. 😖
I’m seeing dates on the photos in the top left corner when using the photo library
hi mac book doesn't show the application iphone mirroring. what should i do?
Are you based in the US and on the latest Mac OS?
@ thanks for reaching out. Its all good now.😊
Woohoo! Thanks for watching!
Have you tried combining todoist with reclaim? What do you think of that combo?
I’ve never used reclaim. Are you currently using it?
@@chriscardoso I've been using Motion for over an year and have not been able to like it. Currently transitioning back to Todoist but curious ab complementing it with Reclaim to have a similar concept.
Omg i'm sorry I don't even understand what you're saying. I'm even actually more confused now.😫😫
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for this. I just want the old photo system back. I can understand, now- why a lot of people never own their products. What a mess, I never asked for. My new phone will not be Apple.
Yea, it’s manageable, but far from perfect.
Thx... I had a Portagese friend named Cardosa -- your cousin... I am using mirroing to make a video on how loud my aircon is than then testing a Sony mic with a LC (low cut filter)
That’s awesome. Thanks for watching!
@@chriscardoso FYI: I failed. mirroring does not use the iPhone camera or mic so I had to fall back on classic screen mirroring
Would be nice to allow to create a calendar event with reminder actions instead of having to create them individually. For example party on Saturday is event reminder to pick up supplies for party is a reminder-would be nice to create both at once and also linked together.
That would definitely be cool!
