Additionally, the 18 people and body emojis now have the option to face both directions. iOS 17.4 is also prepared for the new CarPlay set to be launched in the US in 2024. There’s a security update in iMessage addressing a vulnerability. Code hints at future features like Apple Music Classical, family sharing for Fitness+ subscriptions, and a new operating system for AR/VR.
