iOS 17 Beta 1 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[Dave.Inwood1988]

OFF Topic, my bad...

Anyone got tvOS 17 running?
Do all the main cant live without apps like, Netflix, Disney, YouTube work ok ?

My life wont be worth living if
1. My 1 and half year old cant watch Cars on Disney.
2. My wife cant watch her documentaries on Netflix.

Yeah got it running on 2 3rd gen 4K and a 4th gen 4K all apps work fine

FaceTime on Apple TV with both betas has been a trip lol. I played with center stage way too long today. Felt like a kid with a new toy lol. It was also a Group FaceTime call. Switching the call back to phone doesn’t work as noted in the release notes.

Otherwise smooth long install. Phone stopped getting warm after a few hours and a reboot later. Minor glitches here and there and little caesars app fails to do anything.

I did the same. Moving around the living room getting my other half to step in and out

how's battery life 😂🤣

Honestly, not bad… Not noticing much difference after updating

I had my girlfriend call me to check the Live Voice Mail functionality. Worked great. 👍

I don't see many threads on iPad OS 17. Is it also as fairly stable and usable as iPhone iOS is right now?

The only beta I am staying away from is Sonoma as there's usually a lot of third-party software that has to be upgraded to work under it.

 

[Broken Hope]

Sonoma is working fine for me, but I don't use a ton of third-party software and nothing like little snitch which I know always gets broken.

Other than not being able to select a specific device In the battery widget I've not noticed anything too bad on my iPhone.

The only other bug I think I'm seeing is I don't seem to have iCloud tabs in Safari at the moment, is anyone else seeing them?

Thanks. Little Snitch is the biggie for me. However, they are pretty quick at getting an overnight update put together. I wonder if this will be the year they demand a charge to upgrade. They tend to do that every few operating systems.

Sensitive Content Warning! This is something new!

Challenge: Who wants to test this feature out? I'm afraid!

Nice! You can't just post that and not let us hear the actual Live Voice Mail. LOL, Just kidding! . Glad it works great! One of the most anticipated features in iOS 17! Wish it was introduced before.

Yeah I spent like 20 minutes messing with it before giving up and just using my finger to draw the square. I mean, that works, but I really hope they bring back the simpler way to add shapes.

I just had a go, had never added shape before, I worked it out quickly, as per the attached.

 

[Pearsey]

I’ve no issue with those apps

Ahh thanks man. Appreciate that. And on that note… Install 🔘 🥳

 

[Pearsey]

Just tried to “mark up” a screenshot…woof.

Assuming that section will be tweaked over the course of the beta life, but can anyone figure out how to simply put a red square or rectangle around something?

Draw your shape and hold your finger on the screen and it neatens up to a perfect shape.

Is that what you mean?

So my camera stopped working, it only showed black screen and then i restarted my phone and then it gave me error of non genuine part where as my phone has never been opened and is under AppleCare+. Anyone else seeing this?

Did you go to settings? 🤭

I do know about that little trick, but I was referring to the adding of shapes — we got it sorted out a few posts back. I’ve got the hang out of now, but it’s definitely a more involved process than it was in previous versions of iOS.

 

[Pearsey]

Dang! A year and a half already! Wow. Seems like only a few iOS betas ago LOL.

Elton Jude. 😆😂

Time flys. He loved his first WWDC. All the colours and animations.

(He’s called Jude btw. Just Jude.
Jude Pearlet 😆)

Yeah the screenshot i shared is from settings.

Lmaooo haha me too. I was up down sliding around the room and playing peek a boo. Omg. It was fun. It’s really thought out I’m impressed.

 

[arovik]

A little off topic, but is there a way to install airpods pro beta without having a mac?

I wonder if it’s possible to set it just for certain people??

 

[Pearsey]

Different that’s for sure. Tap the + to choose a shape. Tap on the dot all the way to the left and choose the color you want the tap the circle 2nd from the right and set opacity to zero.

Always thought that + button was for more brushes, I rarely need to edit screen grabs, so I’ve learnt something today. Thanks Man 👍🏼

Just noticed, you can see your contact location if they are sharing their location in Message

I noticed this last evening when texting my daughter

 

[Pearsey]

so i purchased an developer account for no reason? lol

30 days to get a refund, no? Apple are pretty understanding with that kind of thing. Just explain you only wanted it for iOS Dev build testing/personal use.

OI, you know there’s a thread for that 😆😂
