iOS 17 Beta 2 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[k.alexander]

I’m seeing in all kind of logos. For example, in the outlook app, if someone has the company logo in their signature, there are shiny white pixels around it. Quite annoying.

Im seeing this, and also it feels like the background of webpages, the mail app, etc, are somewhat gray as opposed to pure white.

Does anyone else have a ringtone selected but when someone calls it’s the default ringtone ?

Sorted after reselecting.

Wtf is MicroLocation View attachment 2221599

Pinpointing a person's placement to within a few inches or feet using various technologies. Like in a building or room.

3rd party keyboards are completely broken for me in beta 2. If I select one, it jumps back to the Apple English keyboard. Have tried to disable/enable, uninstall/reinstall but can't get them to work. I've tried Gboard, Giphy and GIF Keyboard. Anyone else has this problem?

Yes, none of my 3rd party keyboards work in Messages. They do in other places though most of the time. I'm using SwiftKey now, but it won't work in Messages.

Did you turn off beta updates for the watch then turn it on again?

Yep. Sadly didn’t help.

This build fixed the issue with new wallpapers showing blurred at the top after when added in lockscreen and homescreen. Older wallpaper sets were not affected.

When did rest areas get added to maps? Is this new? It appears to be hit or miss as the east bound one was listed but the one going west wasn’t.

This has actually been around for years...since Apple started doing their own Maps.

Most people don't know to try, but simply hold the Home button on CarPlay until Siri comes up and asks you want to go or just say, "Hey Siri, rest stops along my route"....works for most POI categories and always has.

I hate that Apple doesn't promote this more...using Siri to find stuff.

"Hey Siri, hardware stores along my route"

"Hey Siri, fast food along my route"

Works like a dream (most of the time).

I think contact posters only really works if someone else is also using IOS17.

You can set contact posters for contacts on your own. I have posters set for all my contacts, and they show up even if the contact is on iOS 16 or older, or even Android.

You can also choose to override someone’s contact poster with your own, so if a friend makes an ugly one you can fix it yourself.

Yup

I've tried with another 13 Mini and an XR, both on iOS17. Only the badge shows up

This sounds like an individual issue, unless you’re talking about NameDrop.

Contact Posters show up for me every time, including contacts who don’t even have iPhones.

I don't think we have name drop here in the UK, yet...

You need another person with an iPhone on the iOS 17 beta to test this.

That makes sense. Thanks for the info.

This might have existed before, but if it did it never showed for me:

Sending an iMessage gives a pop-up saying that a sent message can be un-sent. I think it has an expiry - probably like the newish (and customisable) unsend option in Mail.

Can anyone confirm if on iOS17 you can now use live photos as animated wallpapers?

Some sites, especially reading sites, I get a copy and quick note notice that pops up in the upper left corner.

Found a Safari bug in Beta 2. Private browsing no longer requires FaceID.

When I log in to my Synology NAS my icons on the DSM desktop all look weird with white round them.

Anyone got this issue, doing it on my 12.9 iPad Pro M1 and a iPhone 14 Pro Max
