IOS 11 may add new official applications like Workflow
[abstract] Apple will build a new official app based on the acquired automation app Workflow, named Automater, and Workflow has now stopped updating and is available for free download.
Michael (Tencent) Apple's annual WWDC developer conference is due to open next month. According to Apple's style in recent years, there should be no blockbuster hardware products on the WWDC. IOS and macOS and a range of software services are the highlight, and that is what developers are concerned about. After Apple acquired the automation app Workflow two months ago, the latest news is that Apple will build a new app based on it, which is likely to be officially unveiled on WWDC. As for Workflow, it told users last month that it would stop updating, which confirmed Apple's development plan from another point of view.
To put it simply, Workflow can mainly help users complete a series of automated operations, involving all aspects of daily use, such as converting photos to GIF format, downloading web images in batches, translating text, etc., which can really save a lot of trouble if used well.
It is understood that Apple's new automation app based on Workflow will be called Automater (yes, just like Automater in macOS), which will be deeply integrated with iOS and iCloud, while replacing the Home app that is now used to control HomeKit devices. And given Apple's strength in software development, there should be more new features. In addition, although Workflow has stopped updating, it is already a free application, so users who need it might as well download it first.
