Latest iOS 17 Beta Includes 'Save to Photos' Option in Full-Page Screenshot Interface, Better Dual-SIM Support

[MacRumors]

Apple in the latest iOS 17 public and developer betas has added support for saving full-page screenshots as image files in apps where the system supports the feature.

In iOS 16, users can already opt to take a screenshot in apps like Safari, Notes, and Maps, and save the full-page content, or scrolling content, as a PDF document. But in the updated iOS 17 developer beta 3 and the new public beta, Apple has now added a "Save to Photos" option to the Full Page screenshot interface for added flexibility.

The new option also appears in the latest beta versions of iPadOS 17 and macOS Sonoma. The ability to save "scrolling screenshots" as images has been available on Android devices for a while now, but iPhone users have had to use third-party apps like Tailor to achieve the same thing.

In another notable addition spotted by TechCrunch, users are also getting better dual-SIM support, with the ability to sort messages based on SIM, separate ringtones for each SIM, and the ability to choose a SIM when calling back an unknown number.

Public beta testers who have signed up for Apple's beta testing program can download the iOS 17, iPadOS 17, and macOS Sonoma updates now. Apple is expected to release final stable versions of iOS 17, iPadOS 17, and macOS Sonoma later in the fall.

"save the full-page content, or scrolling content, as a PDF document." How? I can't find it

I've added a link to our how-to covering this.

The separate ringtone per line is a godsend and long overdue.

Does anyone know the full list of features for dual sim?


Things like can I see and control SIM card usage on every entry separately in the address book? Can I see what SIM is going to be used when calling/texting and can I override it?
I assume both sims are independant and parallel (ie call via one sim and data via a second sim concurrently). Is there a failover, if connection is poor or broken on the data sim, it will failover to the call sim?

I'm using oneplus because they've had excellent dual sim support since a long time. It has not evolved in a long time though, and even feels worse is latest OS, so a good dual sim solution would be attractive to me

Also, is there a solution to bypass preferred sim? For example, when travelling abroad I would get a local sim for calls and data. During the trip I'd like to keep my normal sim open for incoming calls, but would prefer to switch all outgoing calls to the second local sim. So I would temporarily change settings from e.g. "use preferred sim from address book" to "all calls and texts use sim2" during the trip, and when home change back. Can it be done on IOS?

Good dual SIM features although I would like to see the ability to keep the contacts list separate based on SIM number.

I hope it fixes the random bug of website screenshots automatically saving as PDFs on iCloud’s download folder…

Great news, well done! 👍

Just got back from vacation using a second SIM. I turned off my US due to roaming charges but had difficulty with my phone numbers in my address book being valid in Europe. How do set up your phone numbers so they work both in the US and abroad? Do I need to include the country code for all entries?

 

[lazyrighteye]

Wow. In one article, I learned we have been able to save/share full page PDFs and will soon be able to save those to directly to Photos.

This article is approved.

Do I need to include the country code for all entries?

Yes, this is how you do it, Sir. +1, +44 and so on.

 

[Oberhorst]

Using both private and work SIM in one phone I always wanted a feature to automatically switch off the work line after work, like a focus schedule. I hope this will be possible in iOS 17 as well.

 

[Dormammu]

I just want and option for thephotos I take in iMessage to stop being saved to my camera roll.

 

[macvicta]

I had no idea about the full page PDF stuff. Jesus, iOS does so much now that it’s impossible to keep track.

 

[applegoogle]

How about ability to set "Silence Unknown Callers" separately for each sim. I sent apple feedback about this a few months ago. Hope someone at Apple reads and takes it up seriously, I know wishful thinking but still.

I still find it impressive how horrid it is to take screenshots on mobile devices, Android included, and there seems to be no intention to fix it. I wish there was a Snipping Tool equivalent to Windows to capture specific sections of the screen without cropping a full-size screenshot, which takes much longer.

iOS used to have a jailbreak tweak called Snapper that did just that, and was a pleasure to use.

 

[cocky jeremy]

Weird that this wasn't always there.

 

[GtrDude]

Something that's been available with Android since Samsung Note 3.
It was released September 2013.
Apple as usual about 10 years behind.

Apple still doesn't even have a clipboard for multiple copies and paste.
Matter of fact with Apple if you paste too late, what they deem too late, you will have nothing to paste.
Empty cache.

ability to choose a SIM when calling back an unknown number

This is welcome! One time I had to call an airline in a rush in Mexico and it was using my German line instead of the Mexican one without realising and I ended up with like a 20 EUR charge for 2 minutes!

Something my BlackBerry had 15 years ago.

DAMN THIS WAS MUCH NEEDED

I still use it, it’s very useful for example when someone sends you their phone in a message full of text and you can just select the phone and with OCR get the number in the clipboard. Also allows you to read QRs. And another useful feature for me is that I can screenshot something, keep it on screen and switch to another app.

Perhaps the ability to use Focus for that. After work hours go to Do not Disturb for that line only would be something I would like
