iOS 17 adds a new function to the Android

With the most recent iOS 17 upgrade, taking full-page screenshots is now simple, and no third-party apps or laborious workarounds are required. Now that you are no longer limited to only PDF format, you may snap a scrolling screenshot of lengthy webpages, documents, or emails extending beyond your iPhone's screen and save it as an image.

The procedure is straightforward. Press and release the side and volume up buttons simultaneously to start a screenshot as you usually would. After taking the screenshot, tap on it in the bottom-left corner of the screen and choose "Full Page" to make the screenshot scroll. Once finished, you can save the scrolling screenshot as a PDF or a picture.

Until recently, iPhone users could only save this content as PDFs. However, Apple has now caught up to Android with this latest iOS upgrade since Google began to include scrolling screenshots on the Android platform with Android 12. This capability was previously implemented by several Android original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). Scrolling screenshots can now be easily saved as photos for iPhone users.

Another minor update is already available for Android

Siri has significantly improved to stay up with Google Assistant and Alexa. It can now talk and understand two languages simultaneously with ease. Beginning with the combination of English and many Indie languages, including Hindi, Telugu, Punjabi, Kannada, and Marathi, Apple has added the capability for bilingual questions to Siri. However, whether Siri will eventually support additional language pairings still needs improvement.

The stable release of iOS 17

The release of iOS 17's stable version is anticipated to coincide with the introduction of the iPhone 15 series. The new iPhones for 2023 are expected to be unveiled in September of this year and as is customary, come preloaded with the most recent iOS version.
