The first thing you’ll probably notice after the update completes and your phone restarts is the redesigned Control Center. You can customize it to include only the controls you want or need.

Some users may want to beef up their Control Center with the remote app for an Apple TV, or access to iOS 11’s new “Do Not Disturb While Driving” mode. But if you’re content with familiar functions for the flashlight, camera controls, and so on, those are still included.

Camera updates include new filters, such as Vivid, which makes colors pop, and some new tricks for Live Photo, which was introduced with iOS 9 in 2015. As a reminder, Live Photo captures a tiny video clip when you take a still photo to create just a hint of movement. With iOS 11 you can easily convert a Live Photo into a short video loop that you can share on social media or email. 

And Siri has been updated to sound more human and, according to Apple, to be more intelligent. The information the digital assistant collects about you will be used to autofill your iMessages with what it thinks you’re going to say, according to the company. It will also fill out your Safari web searches and suggest news articles. The more you use Siri, the better it is supposed to get at anticipating what you want to do.

One of the most useful and long-awaited features of iOS 11 was supposed to be person-to-person payments through iMessage, as many people already use third-party apps such as Venmo. But this feature isn’t ready quite yet. On its website, Apple says to expect it sometime this fall.

But some other apps are now connected to iMessage in the form of a crawl of little icons below the spot where you type. Want to let someone know where you are? Embed a Google Map showing your location. And though you can’t send your friend the $20 you owe her just yet, you can send a gift card from companies such as Seamless and Starbucks. And, yes, there are more stickers and emojis, too.

Finally, Apple has launched a new design of the app store with iOS 11. It has a more curated feel than before, with separate sections for what’s new in the store, as well as Apple’s recommended apps and games.
