iOS 17 Said to Feature Wallet, Find My, SharePlay, and AirPlay Upgrades

[MacRumors]

Apple's upcoming iOS 17 update for the iPhone will include improvements across several apps and features, including Wallet, Find My, SharePlay, and AirPlay, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. Apple is expected to preview iOS 17 during its WWDC keynote on June 5, and the update should be released to all users in September.

In a report today, Gurman said the Wallet app in particular will have "significant changes," but he did not provide specific details. He added that Apple is planning location services enhancements for the Find My app, without elaborating further.

Apple is also working on upgrades to its SharePlay feature for watching content with family and friends over a FaceTime call, and improvements to its wireless streaming protocol AirPlay. Gurman said Apple has been in discussions with hotels and other venues in an attempt to make it easier to AirPlay content to TVs/devices they do not own.

Please dear god let “airplay upgrades” mean a Spotify connect type feature. That’s the one thing Spotify really holds over apple music. Let me control what’s playing on my iPad from my phone

 

[tripsync]

and hopefully a painful sideloading experience just to stick it to the EU

Upgrading my wallet would be awesome. I could use some couple of extra dollars.

I hope he’s right, because Wallet isn’t exactly user friendly. I hope they make it an icon on iPadOS instead of making me go to settings -> scroll down to Wallet -> and see a very slimmed down version

Has anyone ever used SharePlay? I feel like every year they add useless stuff and ignore the things that are in dire need of attention.

Gotta say Find My is an unappreciated feature!
I was at a friend's graduation ceremony a few days ago and got a phone alert that an AirPod was missing. Followed the map in Find My to the Bag Check area where it had fallen loose while my bag was being checked, and the security guard handed it over as soon as he saw me wandering around looking at the Find My map

We want new icons and new ui for home page and split screen

 

[StoneJack]

Used airplay twice in 10 years

 

[sully54]

Find my should be integrated to the Maps app.

I always see you commenting this on like every post... why don't you ever try out an android device? You would have all those options available to you and more.

I understand split screen but I personally don't see the need for a new ui and icons.

Used airplay twice in 10 years

i use it daily to stream movies from my phone to the apple tv

 

[ShaisGuy]

Maybe we’ll finally have multiple user support for AirTags in the Find My app.

 

[jakeowens]

I really hope they fix airplay with speakers going out of sync and the horrible interface when you have a lot of speakers (constantly changing the order and hiding the speakers in a folded up list is so annoying)

 

[cthompson94]

Genuinely curious... what movies are you streaming from the phone to Apple TV that Apple TV can't access already? Unless you had them in the photos app and not sync'd to iCloud.

Upgrading my wallet would be awesome. I could use some couple of extra dollars.

Wallet upgrade: everyone gets a U2 branded credit card even if you don’t want it! 😉

Airplay is very good to quick preview a video edited on mobile.

Yes! I played some music with my Nephew while he was at his house. Was a lot of fun!

 

[munpip214]

H265 airplay please

exactly, every new feature is not needed, we want interactive widgets and split screen, we get nothing we want

 

[Kylo83]

no one uses find my much and wallet, we just use Apple Pay but I never go into the app, we want exiting changes

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

I wouldn't mind something like this...

Interactive Contacts Widget concept This widget will also display missed calls (including FaceTime calls) and recently received messages.

 

[gank41]

Huh, we use FindMy & Wallet all the time.

 

[Kylo83]

Huh, we use FindMy & Wallet all the time.

why you always losing things? I have never used it, and wallet whats the need, I know what I spend and use Apple Pay

Hoping for a better Airplay experience, the actual music streaming works great, but the speaker / zone selection and volume controls in the iOS Music App are so bad. I currently use AirPlay as the backbone of my whole house audio with multiple Airport Expresses / standalone amps and ATVs. I would love to set a HomePod as the default device to send music from. I rarely stream directly from phone for battery reasons. My phone acts more or less as a remote for the HomePod. Hope they can figure it out a better solution.
