Indian iPhone Users Will Be Delighted By the Latest iOS 17 Features
Dual SIM phones have become a necessity in the Indian smartphone market, with major brands such as Apple, Samsung, and Google now providing dual SIM options either through physical slots or eSIMs. However, the dual SIM experience on iPhones has been inconsistent. Nevertheless, Apple aims to enhance the dual SIM experience with the introduction of various quality of life improvements in iOS 17.
First, iOS 17 allows iPhone users to view their messages sorted by primary and secondary SIM. This makes it easier for people who use one SIM card for work and one for personal use to sort personal and work messages.
In addition, Apple has allowed users to set different ringtones for each SIM card to make it easier to identify which SIM card is receiving the call. This is also useful for both personal and work use.
Finally, iOS 17 addresses a major frustration for iPhone users – the inability to answer a call from an unsaved number on another SIM. When the user does not answer the call, he can now return it from either SIM card without having to limit himself to the SIM card that received the call. This eliminates the need to manually copy and paste the number into the dial.
These quality of life features are very useful for many Apple users, especially those in India who use multiple SIM cards.
