iOS 27: All the New iCloud Features

[TVreporter]

Android and Windows allowed to add photos to a shared album is long overdue!!

So frustrating and embarrassing when I create an album and others can’t contribute.

Then I just end up creating a Google Photos album instead.

I love the idea of a password-changing AI getting past all the "Are you a human?", "click all the squares that ..." blocks.

From the OP, the only one I'm interested in is the faster photo upload. I run the iOS and MacOS 27 betas and it's true, the photo upload is much better.

Upload Speed - iPhones will now start uploading to iCloud Photos more quickly to make images available across devices faster.

This is working well and is very welcome. Uploads are definitely faster from my iOS 27 public beta iPhone 17 Pro. Images appear noticeably quicker on my Mac despite the fact it’s still on macOS 26.

The unfortunate part is that it took so long for Apple to improve this, given how slow it was before.

I’ve got a feeling we should migrate to Proton drive in the nearest future ….

When I saw the picture and it said "The All New..." I read it in Sam Tucker's voice.

OT: These look like a set of really great features and enhancements. I had no idea there was an artificial Siri limit.

The Journal App should get more love. I really want a sharing option - like notes, calendar, reminders, photos - on selected journals for example for family journaling, journeys, home projects, hobbies etc

in the past i used the photos app a lot, but journaling would be next level for me and my family.

I think like a previous poster alluded, there needs to be an encrypted Notes section (not field).

Notes are a component of every other major password application on the market. It is kind of an industry standard, and mind-boggling that the application wasn't initially released with this feature.

Makes you wonder if all Apple really did was cannibalize existing Apple encryption container vault technology, put a GUI bow on it and call it Passwords.

(edit) To be fair, it is way better than the decades old Keychain.

Having a Notes section in the Passwords app would be awesome!

It's not out yet, how can anyone possibly know what the new features are?

We have a magic 8 ball, obviously.

Having a Notes section in the Passwords app would be awesome!

That wouldn't really make logical sense though, since it's called "Passwords". Plus, you've got secure notes in the Notes app.

It would be nice to have a section with Notes about Passwords and things, as opposed to having to lock down specific notes.

There is a notes field.

Different kind of note field. A simple field wasn't what I meant.

If you've used any other major pw manager, you'll know what I'm referring to, and what Apple Passwords is missing.
