Apple released a new update called iOS 17.2 this week on iPhone and iPad, which introduces a brand new tool called Journal, which Apple describes as “a way to reflect on life’s moments and preserve your memories.” The release also includes hot bug fixes and security updates for the iPhone, as We monitor it for you, according to what the British newspaper “Daily Mail” reported.
Journal tool
Journal is a brand new app where users can capture special moments and events in their lives and write about them.
Users can choose to upload written entries, as well as photos, videos, audio recordings or locations.
“We’re excited to bring the benefits of journaling to more people,” said Bob Borchers, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing.
“The Journal app makes it easy to preserve powerful memories, by intelligently organizing the user’s personal information, right from their iPhone,” Borchers added.
“We enable other everyday apps to provide the same personalized suggestions while maintaining the highest level of privacy,” Borchers explained.
