Apple released the beta version of iOS 17.2 for developers today, which features the initial version of the Journal app announced in June alongside the introduction of iOS 17.
The Apple Journal app enables iPhone and iPad users to document their daily experiences and thoughts, including photos, music, workouts, and provides prompts for writing.
Entries in the Journal app can include photos, music, and audio recordings, with the ability to emphasize significant moments. The app ensures privacy with password protection and Face ID, and all data remains on the device. Entries are encrypted from end to end.
