![]() All of that is to say, my “lost” AirPods weren’t lost at all – they were within 10 feet of my iPhone, and Find My wasn’t pinging them because they “weren’t connected.” However, after going back to the bar where they were (allegedly!) located, they were nowhere to be found, and it wasn’t until a few hours later that I realized they were probably in my friend’s jacket pocket… and I was right. And, honestly, I don’t even think Find My is that helpful, as demonstrated last weekend when I thought I left my AirPods (I have an older generation) at a bar because that was the last place I had used them, or at least, that’s where Find My suggested I look. Pinging Apple Watch via Control Center in iOS 17ĪirPods can be located in Find My, but only the AirPods Pro 2 can be pinged because there is a speaker on the case. It gets a bit confusing (for me, at least) when trying to explain to people the need for Apple’s improved pinging across their devices – bear with me.įrom your Apple Watch, you can ping your iPhone, and from your iPhone, you can ( now, with iOS 17) ping your Apple Watch. WhatsApp Contact Card WhatsApp in-text Search featureĪdding the ability to search iMessage individually could be added to someone’s Contact card, just like what WhatsApp implements, which would alleviate the need for having to dig back into your memory to remember specific excerpts of conversations. ![]() WhatsApp allows for this search feature, and it works seamlessly. There are so many times when I know that I’ve discussed something specific with a particular person, and if I was able to search within that text to see what was said, I could have easy access to the conversation. What would be infinitely more helpful is if Apple allowed users to search within an individual text message rather than parse through someone’s entire text library. While the above screenshot shows my three most recent conversations that included the word “podcast,” when I tap “see all,” I get the entire text history of every time I’ve used the word “podcast” in a text, which just isn’t helpful. The search doesn’t discern between iPhone and non-iPhone texts and goes as far back in your iMessages as it is able to when pulling up relevant conversations. If you’ve ever tried to search a keyword in iMessage, you are familiar with the way in which your keyword search pulls up every single conversation that contains the keyword, no matter who you were texting with. ![]() ![]() I know it may be a bit early to be thinking about iOS 18, especially given that iOS 17 came out a few months ago, but consider these feature requests my holiday Apple wishlist. That said, there are of course additional features I’d love Apple to implement in iOS 18 that would be huge wins for iPhone users. Not only that, but with the recent announcement that RCS messaging is coming to Apple later in 2024, it’s safe to say that iPhone users are going to be seeing some massive updates in iOS 18. IOS 17 was only just released in September with some major updates that we love, including customizable contact posters, additional Tapback replies, and voice note improvements.
