Apple has announced the release of iOS and iPadOS 17.3, the latest updates to the operating systems for iPhone and iPad. This update brings new features, dynamic wallpapers, and added protection for personal data, along with the long-anticipated collaborative playlists in Apple Music.
One notable addition to iOS and iPadOS 17.3 is the enhancement to Apple ID security, providing users a welcome new layer of protection for their accounts. This feature, originally expected in the previous update, was delayed but is now available, offering users increased peace of mind and safeguarding their personal information.
Moreover, collaborative playlists are now available in Apple Music with the launch of iOS and iPadOS 17.3. This functionality allows users to create and share playlists with friends and family members, who can then contribute their favorite songs to the playlist. Participants in the collaborative playlist have substantial control, including the ability to reorder songs, share the playlist with their contacts, and leave the playlist at will. Meanwhile, the playlist owner retains additional controls, such as manually approving new collaborators and generating new invite links that expire after six days.
The inclusion of dynamic wallpapers adds a touch of personalization to the user experience, giving iPhone and iPad users the option to refresh their devices with new, visually appealing backgrounds.
These new features and enhancements reflect Apple’s ongoing commitment to providing a secure and engaging user experience across its devices. With iOS and iPadOS 17.3, users can expect improved security measures, expanded customization options, and the ability to share and collaborate on music playlists with ease.
