IOS 17.2 Release

There many updates and improvements. Here are some of the key changes.

Journal is a completely new app that helps you write your daily thoughts and musings. It is very straight forward and simple. I am sure it will evolve into something more elegant but right now simple is elegant. You can add a picture, a map of where you are/were, exercises, and so on. As you use it, the app will begin to make suggestions. You thoughts are safe and you can use a password or FaceID to unlock it. Journaling on a daily basis has many positive traits and should be tried if you haven’t done so in the past. While typing on the iPhone is not easy, hopefully Journal will be released later for iPadOS and MacOS. You can dictate is you prefer that entry method.
