Why is every single app updating this morning? Because iOS 11 is here! Apple's latest operating system will be ready to download for normals (non-developers) later today. If you're one of the lucky few hundred thousand with early access, share with the community what you think are the best iOS 11 features.
Here's what we read on the internets:
š“ Screen Recording:Ā At long last, Apple will allow you to record your own screen, a feature Android has had for years.
š± Animoji: The greatest innovation since the invention of the internet. Available when the iPhone X ships. We'll be waiting.
š¹ Control Center:Ā Massive overhaul, with the ability to customize the toggles you really want/need. Just like Android.
š Notes App: Apples continues to improve the world's most popular default notes editor, bringing it closer to EvernoteĀ andĀ Bear.
šø Screenshots:Ā Ability to immediately edit/markup screenshots before sharing it, similar toĀ Instabug.
š Files: AĀ brand new standalone app to manage your files if Dropbox isn't working.
š¤ Text to Siri:Ā Siri is getting a massive overhaul in an attempt to find product-market fit.
šµĀ ļ£æPay in iMessage:Ā Like Venmo and Square Cash, but with the ability to include iMessage effects for urgency.
š® ARKit:Ā The coolest innovation since the invention ofĀ Animoji.
iOS and Android are copying the best things from each other as they begin to feel increasingly similar. āI donāt really think it matters what mobile OS you use these days. They are both really great.ā says Fred Wilson.Ā š

We asked 34 customers what Viktor does for them. Not one said chatbot.
They kept using words like colleague, coworker, team member. One CEO called it the glue holding their e-commerce business together, which is a lot, but alsoā¦ you see why. It lives in Slack and plugs into 3,000+ tools, so instead of jumping between tabs, you just ask for the thing. Pull Stripe against HubSpot, check Sentry alerts, spin up a campaign brief, build a landing page, send a report upstairs. It all happens there.
It has already hit top 5 on Product Hunt with 130 comments, is SOC 2 certified, and your data does not train models.One user said it was the first time AI felt like a real coworker, which is either exciting or slightly concerning depending on your week.
