  • Download apps via the web in the EU: One of the main new features of iOS 17.4 was the possibility of installing apps from alternative stores to the App Store. In iOS 17.5 it goes one step further, and allows the downloading of individual applications via the web so as not to have to go through the process of installing the entire alternative store.
  • Cross-platform tracking notifications: Notifications are added to alert you if a compatible Bluetooth tracking device that is not yours moves with you, regardless of the operating system to which it is linked. Come on, if someone sneaks their AirTag or similar to spy on where you are going, the iPhone will notify you.
  • Mass blocking on FaceTime: A new button is added to block all participants in a FaceTime call, and thus combat a type of mass call scam that is increasingly popular in countries like the United States.
  • New wallpapers: June will be LGTBIQ+ Pride month, and Apple celebrates it again with new wallpapers specific to the event, as well as watch faces for the Apple Watch.
  • Battery health on iPads: Although it is not yet a confirmed novelty, in the update code it is implied that the new iPads will have a battery output indicator. Of course, it does not appear in current models.
  • New Apple Podcast widget: The widget of this native application is slightly renewed, so that the color of its background adapts to the program that is being played.
  • Apple News minigame: This is a first for Apple News, an app that is only available in Australia, Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom. A minigame has been added to form words using syllables, similar to Wordle.
  • Security improvements, fixes and patches: As in all updates to all operating systems, there are also improvements to fix errors, improve security and optimize the consumption of your devices.
