New iPhone update will fix nightmare ‘problem’ when chatting to your pals – and users are calling it a ‘dream’
AN IPHONE update promises a game-changing feature that will fix some of the annoying problems that arise from phone calls and voice notes.
The update was teased at Apple’s Worldwide Developer Conference, and it’s being hailed as every introvert’s dream.
Apple executives revealed that the new iOS update will automatically transcribe voice notes and voicemails.
Every time you get a phone call and send it to voicemail, your iPhone will provide you with a transcript of the conversation.
This will inform you of the basic information that was sent to you, and whether or not you should call the person back fast.
The transcription will also occur when listening to a voice note, allowing you to respond to someone if you don’t want to listen to their message or if you don’t have a set of headphones on you.
The new update is coming to iPhones this September.
“Now, when someone calls you and leaves a message, you’ll see a live transcription in real-time as they speak,” revealed the video at WWDC.
“If it’s something you want to address right away, pick up the call and talk to them right then and there.”
Apple claims this new feature doesn’t put your private information at risk, storing the text in your device only.
“Live Voicemail is every introvert’s dream,” wrote someone on Twitter.
While reception to the new feature has been mostly positive, some claim the idea is not as revolutionary as Apple claims it is.
“Apple just announced something called live voicemail,” wrote a second person on Twitter.
“Congratulations Apple on recreating the 90s answering machine.”
Apple’s WWDC event featured the reveal of various products and features, including new laptops and updates on their operating systems.
The product that stole most of the attention though was Apple’s Vision Pro.
The new device is a VR headset that could change the future of Apple and the type of products it makes.
The device is expected to go on sale next year and is priced at $3,499.
