Of all the iOS 17 features Apple announced at WWDC this week, one, in particular, made me very happy. It's called Check-in, and if you're a parent, a woman or a member of other marginalized groups then I think you'll like it a lot.
Check-in is a way of telling a friend or a family member that you've arrived somewhere. I laughed when someone described it as a feature made for Dads, because it's true that on Facebook in particular many dads do like to announce that they've arrived at a particular location. But the name does it a disservice, because it's much more than an "I'm here!" announcement.
