#EARLY APPLE RINGTONES FOR ANDROID#
It even includes small things, like the ability to leave an iMessage group chat – something not currently possible for Android users, resulting in a slew of (sometimes unwanted) messages they can’t do anything about. In its simplest form, RCS offers all the kinds of features you’d expect from iMessage, including sending high-res images and videos without MMS fees, the ability to text without a live cellular connection, end-to-end encryption and much more. Apple is adamant that iMessage won’t be available for Android anytime soon, so what’s the alternative? According to Google, that’d be RCS support. IMessage is undoubtedly one of the highlights of iOS, and the debate of blue vs green bubbles (when texting an Android smartphone) has been raging for years.

We’ve all been in the scenario where we’ve heard an iOS text tone and reached for our phones, only to find it’s someone nearby, right? That wouldn’t happen as often with a larger library of tones to choose from.Īpple’s decision to not introduce new tones over the years could be a tactic to force users to head to the iTunes Store and pay for other ringtones and text tones – the problem is that it’s full of those horrendous early 00s ‘comedy’ tones and alerts that are anything but funny in 2023. The iPhone has a decent, if not slightly bland, selection of ringtones and text tones that users can choose from, but that selection hasn’t changed at all since the introduction of iOS 7 way back in 2013 (with the one exception being a new ringtone for iPhone X users in 2017). This one might not be on many people’s wishlists, but it’s certainly on mine. Hey, maybe I’ll have better luck with iOS 18 next year… New ring and notification sounds With that in mind, here are four big features I wish Apple added in iOS 17.

IOS 17 looks to be a particularly exciting update with a swathe of new features coming to iPhones later this year including Live Voicemail, Check In, Standby Mode and a new Journal app, but there are a few crucial features that would vastly improve the iOS experience that Apple didn’t announce on stage at WWDC 2023.
