Apple has just rolled out iOS 17.5, introducing some exciting features for Apple News+ subscribers. The latest update brings a new spelling game called Quartiles and a handy Offline Mode that ensures you have access to recent and personalized News content even when you’re offline.

Here’s what you can expect with the new iOS version:

– Quartiles: A challenging word-forming game where you select tiles containing two to four letters to earn points based on the word’s length. You can also share Quartiles puzzles with other News+ subscribers.
– Puzzles Scoreboard: Keep track of your stats and solve rate with this new feature, including daily crossword and mini crossword puzzles available to US and Canadian users.
– Offline Mode: Automatically download Top Stories, Apple News Today audio briefings, full magazine issues, narrated articles, and puzzles for offline access on your iPhone and iPad. The downloaded content will refresh when you reconnect to the internet, with optimized downloads to save space.

Lauren Kern, editor-in-chief of Apple News, mentioned how Quartiles adds a fun twist to the crossword offerings, while Offline Mode makes it convenient to access a wide range of content included in a News+ subscription from anywhere.

These updates enhance the Apple News+ experience for all users, whether you enjoy word games like Quartiles or rely on Offline Mode in areas with poor internet connectivity. It’s a feature that caters to different age groups, from older individuals solving daily puzzles to younger users looking for engaging language-based games.

Overall, iOS 17.5 brings valuable additions that make Apple News+ even more appealing and user-friendly. Stay tuned for more updates and enhancements as we continue to improve your reading experience with Phones Canada!
