I\u2019ve used a third-party app for years, but the document scanner that\u2019s part of Notes (see screenshot above) may \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Karelia_Watson\">Sherlock<\/a>\u201d that app for me. Add to that the fact that handwritten notes can now be searched, and the Notes app has suddenly become a lot more powerful.<\/p>\n<p><b>Instant Markup with the Apple Pencil<\/b><br \/>\nAnother feature that works very well with the iPad Pro is Instant Markup. Take a screenshot, and it appears on the bottom left side of your iOS device screen for a moment. Tap on it, pick up an Apple Pencil, and you can start marking up that image immediately.<\/p>\n<p>Even without the Apple Pencil I\u2019ve found the new screenshot feature to be a boon to tech writing. I can capture a screenshot, tap it to edit, crop it and add callouts if needed, send it to a Mac, and then delete it. That keeps me from having screenshots pile up in Photos.<\/p>\n<p><b>And A Lot More<\/b><br \/>\nLater this fall you\u2019ll be able to use your iOS 11 device to send money to another person in Messages via Apple Pay. If someone pays you, the money is kept in \u201cApple Pay Cash\u201d where you can spend it or bank it.<\/p>\n<p>Apple has added new filters to the camera, and of course your device can start saving your images and videos in the new <a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/41978-tech-101-benefits-of-hevc-heif-file-formats-in-high-sierra-and-ios-11\">HEIF and HEVC formats<\/a> for tremendous space savings.<\/p>\n<p>Siri can do translations for you now (English to Mandarin, Spanish, French, German, or Italian). Even the App Store is updated, with much better descriptions and improved ways of discovering new apps.<\/p>\n<p>The best way to find out about all of the new features of iOS 11 is to install it on your compatible iOS device and start playing.
