The iOS 17.2 beta 1 was released on October 27, and along with it came the highly anticipated Journal app, first teased at the Apple WWDC event. This is the first time Apple has introduced a dedicated first-party journaling app on the iPhone. So, people who used to scribble on third-party apps like Evernote or the Notes app finally have a place where they can write about their day, favorite memories, or a moment they want to remember. The Journal app also allows users to add photos, videos, voice recordings, locations, and much more. So, let us take a look at the Journal app and see what it is all about.
Journalling is gaining popularity these days and for the right reasons. A 2006 study found that writing in a journal can be as effective as cognitive-behavioral therapy when it comes to reducing the risk of depression in young adults.

Others, who prefer to speak instead of writing can also make entries with voice recordings that can be played back. And further, users can also add location tags to attach an entry to a specific location.
But that is just scratching the surface of everything this Journal app can do. Users will also see the option to write theme-based journal entries. These themes can be based on a location you visited, a song you listened to, or photos that you clicked at a special place.
However, even this is not the greatest strength of the Journal app. What makes it stand out among many other such apps is its personalization capabilities. The Journal app comes with personalized suggestions based on what you do on your iPhone the most. It can be a particular location you visit every week, your workout routine, the podcast you listened to last, or your current favorite show on Apple TV+. These recommendations will be generated through on-device machine learning, and you can also select the category from which you prefer the

Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon stays true to many of the franchise’s core tenants, but one area where the game feels quite Soulsian is its boss design.
