Bad news for Apple users: iOS 11 won't allow Facebook, Twitter sync in

Over the years Facebook has made it easier for its users to log into the third-party apps through its platform but not anymore as Apple has introduced a technology in iOS 11 that will prevent them to log into third-party apps using a social media account.

Apple announced this subtle change to the system settings at its Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in San Jose on Monday.

Without system-level integration, iOS may fall back on the mobile web, The Verge reported.

"Log into Facebook once in mobile Safari and when you go to log in to a third-party app using a social network, it should be able to remember you. But that approach lacks the certainty and ease of setup, that system-level integrations afforded," the website noted.

Apple might replace its system-level social account feature with a password autofill feature.

Software engineer at Apple, Ricky Mondello tweeted: "I'm thrilled to introduce Password AutoFill for Apps. If your app has a login screen, I have information for you."

Apple CEO Tim Cook launched iOS 11 with over 10 new features.

He said that iOS 10 had nearly 96 per cent satisfaction with 86 per cent iPhone users installing the update as compared to only seven per cent Android users who installed Android Nougat -- the latest version of Google's operating system.

Apple also unveiled a bunch of refinements in its other platforms -- tvOS, watchOS and macOS -- with watchOS 4 and updates to its Mac line of desktops and notebooks.

Apple on Monday showcased a preview of the iOS 11, the company’s next major update to bring new experience and features to iPhone and iPad devices, at Worldwide Developers Conference 2017. The next iteration of the operating system makes a complete shift from the previous versions and now utilises latest technologies like artificial intelligence and virtual reality to power the OS. The iOS 11 is currently available as a developer preview and will be a free software update for iPhone and iPad starting this fall.

"With the iOS 11, we’re delivering the biggest AR platform in the world, and it’s available today for developers to begin building AR experiences using ARKit for hundreds of millions of iPhone and iPad users," said Craig Federighi, Apple’s senior vice president of Software Engineering.

"The iOS 11 gives iPad users the powerful app functionality they need to take advantage of everything iPad is capable of, and brings hundreds of new features and incredible updates to the iOS apps iPhone and iPad users enjoy every day.", added Craig Federighi.
