# The top 10 features in iOS 17, Apple's most significant upgrade for iPhones in 2023

[iOS 17](https://www.mindstick.com/news/3295/new-iphones-coming-soon-changes-in-charging-ports-and-release-dates), the latest [operating system](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/229069/operating-system-development) update for the [iPhone](https://www.mindstick.com/news/3318/iphone-15-pro-may-come-in-blue-and-grey-colour) XR, [iPhone XS](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/51513/what-are-the-major-differences-between-the-iphone-xs-iphone-xs-max-and-iphone-xr-which-is-best-for-me), and later models, has been issued by [Apple](https://www.mindstick.com/news/3285/apple-working-on-mac-mini-with-an-m3-chipset-but-the-launch-may-happen-next-year). Here are the ten best features in iOS 17, the biggest update for iPhones in 2023.

**With Standby mode, you can turn [your iPhone](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/94577/what-is-the-most-common-problem-you-have-with-your-iphone-both-hardware-and-software-related) into a smart display.**

Standby [transforms](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/33814/how-to-use-transforms-in-css) your iPhone into a smart display that displays the clock, weather, and other information. It turns on automatically when your iPhone is charging, locked, and horizontally placed. You can change the clock faces, add widgets, and do a lot more.

**Smarter autocorrect makes iPhone typing simpler.**

Autocorrect is becoming smarter, recommending better word options as you type. By tapping on the highlighted autocorrected words, you can quickly undo them. While typing, you can now see inline [predictions](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/story/1779/7-of-the-weirdest-predictions-for-the-end-of-the-world), making sentence completion easier.

**Message stickers are now being used to communicate.**

iOS 17 adds a stickers drawer to Messages, storing Live Stickers, emojis, and other stickers in one location and syncing them across all of your devices. Stickers and apps from the [App Store](https://www.mindstick.com/news/2221/apple-s-new-ad-tax-on-the-app-store-is-a-clear-jab-at-meta) can be accessed from the same pane where you can access emojis. Markup can also be used to apply stickers on photographs, documents, [screenshots](https://www.mindstick.com/news/2115/twitter-encourages-users-to-share-tweets-rather-than-copy-links-from-screenshots), and other files. You can use your Live Photos to apply various effects and even create animated Live Stickers.
