Washington: Apple announced the return of the 'end call' button to its original position on the iPhone application interface in the beta 7 version of the expected operating system iOS 17.
The company changed the position of the end phone call button on the iPhone for one of the previous beta versions of the iOS 17 system, which is currently being tested in preparation for its final release to users of this phone during the month of September.
Apple previously moved the "end call" button to the lower right corner, as opposed to centered in the bottom half of the screen, alone in the center of the screen below the other buttons and slightly away from them, before the company now backtracks and returns the button to its original location, but among the rest of the buttons that were all moved at the bottom of the screen.
Apple indicated that changing the position of the call end button displeased users who used to end the call by pressing in the middle of the lower side of the iPhone screen, which led to pressing other buttons by mistake when trying to end the call, which prompted the company to return the button to its usual place again.
It is expected that iPhone users will get some new features in the iOS 17 phone application, including the contact stickers feature that enables users to choose an appearance and image for them that appear when contacting other iPhones, in addition to the feature of converting voice mail into a text copy in real time, and the feature of quickly exchanging contacts via AirDrop, which Apple calls NameDrop.
The new beta 7 version of the iOS 17 system carried some changes and other minor additions to the various system applications in order to improve the user experience before the final launch of the system, and the beta versions of the iOS 17 system are usually issued at the present time to developers and some users who are members of the Apple Beta Software Program.
