WithWWDCjust weeks away yet moreiOS17 andiPhone 15information is leaking, this time around the Apple Maps app. According to leaker analyst941 onTwitter, the Lock Screen on alliPhoneswill benefit from the Live Activity feature to provide much better guidance when your iPhone is locked.
The new feature will deliver “seamless transitions” when you unlock, and you’ll be able to swipe up as normal in order to see the other notifications in the Notification Centre. It will, however, replace your Lock Screen widgets as you navigate.
What else to expect from the iOS 17 Maps app
This isn’t the only leak of iOS 17 to break cover before WWDC. We’ve also seen leaks ofsignificant changes to the Wallet and Health apps, also from analyst941, and multiple rumours say there aresignificant changes elsewhere too: sideloading of apps in EU countries, a seriously overhauled Control Centre, improved AirTags and a new mood tracking app.
It’s all pointing to a worthwhile set of upgrades, and we’ll no doubt see even more at WWDC. That takes place in June, and while the star of the show is expected to be theApple Reality Pro headsetthe changes to iOS are the things I’m looking forward to most: AR/VR is impressive, but iOS changes affect how I use myiPhoneevery single day.
