iOS 17.2 Beta 1 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

I don’t think that’s a bug, I think it’s working as intended. I don’t use Standby, but I use the Sleep Focus/schedule and it works the same there. It was like that in iOS 16 too.
FYI, mine's not 100% either. Doesn't freeze as much, but still freezing. Very annoying. So you're not alone. Hoping they are still tweaking for the next beta.One of the KEY FIXES of 17.2 is WiFi speeds. That was my point, not that "this beta sucks" - it was a selling point of 17.2 was around the improvement to network speed. Which in my case was a network degradation.
iOS 17.2 fixes Wi-Fi slowdowns and connectivity issues, Apple says - 9to5Mac
Since the release of iOS 17 last month, a number of iPhone users have complained about Wi-Fi connectivity problems. Thankfully,...9to5mac.com
I’ve noticed a few messages end with “How can this stuff ship like this?”
Ask Craig Federighi

I have emailed him before about a cryptographic issue and had a response.
I don't want to be bugging people, pun intended
, but it's getting a little ridiculous.I could give you 5 examples of sloppy UI in iOS from the top of my head.
Don't they have basic unit testing?
It hasn’t shipped. It’s beta 1.

Do you maintain millions of lines of code with ridiculously fast iteration times?
File the bug. If it’s on their critical list they’ll fix it.
It started in 17.1, I just cannot believe it's still in 17.2 beta or otherwise, it's so fundamental.
Yes.
I did, this type of bug is completely unacceptable, it's fundamentally flawed rendering of text, not some esoteric workflow.
I'm cool with the WiFi speeds.
I'm not cool with WiFi calling (for other devices) completely not working.
After testing for the past 18 hours, with little sleep, across Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile - it's not a network thing, it's an iOS thing.
(the Chrome issue surfaced on my iPad as soon as I updated it, hoping that 17.2 iPhone=iPad would fix wifi calling.. which it did not)

It probably WAS working as intended before standby came along. But it should not lower the volume while in standby because if you happen to be sleeping with your eyes open a bit (more common than you think), facing your phone on your nightstand, the alarm won't go off at full volume to wake you up.
Basically an unintended consequence of the phone now being on a stand, facing you in bed, rather than laying flat on the nightstand. So yeah, maybe not a "bug", but definitely an issue.
All they have to do is make this "quieting" feature not kick in if standby is active; that would fix the problem.

How I use my iPhone 14 Pro, I don't come up against any UI glitches.
And Im a Creative working in UI, web design, Graphic etc, so quite intense with all this stuff.

Once again I need to issue the following reminder:
Yes, there are bugs in Apple’s software. However, they do not affect all users or all devices. Apple will triage those bugs based on the number of users/devices affected and/or the severity of the bug.
A minor bug that affects all users will likely get fixed quickly. A severe bug that only affects a relatively small number will also likely get fixed quickly.
What won’t get fixed as quickly (if at all) is a minor bug that doesn’t affect all that many users or devices.
A simple UI bug that does not seem (at least anecdotally) to affect a large number of users is probably not on the “fix fast” list at Apple.
I don’t not believe you. I’m just stating I don’t have any UI glitches, so it can’t be effecting all users.
It feels like a bad year for iOS unfortunately. I bet Apple have moved a load of Dev resources onto Vision Pro…some of the bugs do seem to be quite amateurish.
I’m preparing to have to wait quite a while for most things to get fixed - hope I’m wrong though. Been having very broken experiences at times when the Photos app refuses to send pics to any app via the share sheet. Just hangs on the ‘preparing’ dialog.
I think I’ve narrowed my bug down to only images that are both in ‘portrait’ and ‘live’ modes at the same time. That’s a scenario that didn’t exist before iOS 17 so it’s obvious that they’ve not implemented it properly. They’ve shipped it with show-stopping bugs.
The issues seems to work itself out after a few hours and a few restarts. I’ve replaced my iPhone 15 Pro Max with another one, tried deleting/turning off iCloud entirely, reported the bug about 5 weeks ago…no fix as of yet. Only seems to be on the new phones too, fine on my 14 Pro Max.
Ho hum eh. Software’s hard.
👍👍👍 I am always amazed at those who make blanket statements that THEIR issue is earth shattering and affects all users and all devices. I suspect that the main issue is not with the device. I’ve had a fair number of issues that I sometimes see referred to in a few rare posts, and sometimes none at all. They are usually fixed in future releases, sometimes a long time afterward. I actually got an email from AppleSeed recently stating that an issue I reported over a year ago in ios 16 should be fixed in the current beta. And it was. I guess I could have just told everyone who stated they didn’t have this issue that they were just using their device improperly, as I’ve seen some do.
The most unfortunate thing is that you had to wait for over a year for your bug report to be fixed. This does not bode well if/when the bug is a troublesome one. Oh well though, software eh.
That particular one was not mentioned anywhere on any forum and I had asked multiple times over that year. In Feedback Assistant it had always been displayed as no other reports. So I was surprised to get the email and that it had finally been fixed. Obviously it was something minor and not affecting many, if any, others. Nothing is perfect and sometimes you just have to accept it and work around it, or ignore it.
Turns out this was an Apple issue (confirmed with engineering).
Apparently there was a behind-the-scenes provisioning/activation issue on WiFi calling, that impacted multiple (but not) all versions of iOS.
After ~24 hours, WiFi calling (for other devices) activated, but it's still flaky.
