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

[dannyyankou]

Same here, was at 100% since October, b1 dropped it to 99% and has been dropping every reboot since. At 96% now on b2.

I’m actually a little glad because I want a fresh battery, I’m close lol

This looks new in iOS 17.
Now we can create 3 aliases for your iCloud email. A few more disposable addresses that are actually customizable unlike Hide My Email.

Oh awesome. I've wanted to change my email address, but I don't want to start completely from scratch. This would solve that problem.

Weather.
When you edit your location list, you can only add one location as it reverts to standard display after that one add. You have to go back into edit mode to add another.

Didn’t check if this was the case in B1. I used to add >1 at a time.

Reachability is acting up today. 🤨

Had a weird ‘bug’ (?) pop up for me today after no issues previously. I always use a long press to get the shortcuts to pop up for the App Store. This is how I get to the Update section of the App Store.

Starting today, there are no shortcut options for the App Store. They still work for other apps (Music, Instagram, Reddit, etc), but not the App Store. I’ve tried restarting but no change.

Phone: iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 17 DB2

Assuming I understand the functionality you are describing, this still works for me. 14 pro max on b2. Screenshot attached.

I noticed this when I first updated. After a few days, the options came back for me.

Got it. I was a bit late to respond. 😄

Interesting, I just did a hard reboot and the options went away again. 🧐

Edit: they came back once I actually opened the App Store.

Just tried and have the same. Once I opened the AS the menu was available.

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.

Do they work when people call you? Or just when you arrange them in settings? Mine work in the case of the latter but not the former.

Any one who is on iOS 17 facing the problem with phone calls. If someone is calling you the call is rejected. After second attempt the phone is ringing.

That just happened to me today. Two calls went straight to voicemail. But a call several hours prior came through just fine. Weird.

Is anyone facing weird color issues on websites and some apps? For example, some sites have a grey background and the images are with a white background. This was not there on ios16.

Anyone else having Significant Locations turn itself on at random?

Can’t figure out what would cause it but annoying a user set preference toggles itself

I have the same issue on both iPhone and iPad and it’s so annoying

It's a bug that started in iOS17 B2, B1 never had it. Hopefully B3 fixes.

Hi guys, just a little question, beta and non beta, for the iPhone 14 pro, (mine is 256gb) when recording screen and ending the record, does it saves the recording almost instantly or does it take like 5 minutos spinning in the dynamic island to be saved, because in mine happens on the last two official updates, the phone is new, so I was wondering if in the beta doesn’t happen, or if you got one in the public version, does it happen to you?, mine is like that since I bought it, my 13PM it’s instant, but the 14 pro not, also, I don’t know if it’s a hardware problem and I should go to Apple and get it replaced.
Thanks for the answers
Pd. Google doesn’t show any results like that, for that specific problem.

Significant Locations turns itself on after every reboot for me. I know it's a minor bug but it's driving me crazy!

Any feedback from Apple regarding this after you posted your bug report?

Yup, it’s a b2 issue. Check it out, this green background is not supposed to be there, it’s supposed to be white:

Even Apple’s own images are messed up:

Seems like videos sent via iMessage don’t have sound (and no way to get sound from them). Not sure if this is a Beta 2 thing, or an issue on my end.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Beta 3 better be coming tomorrow....

Beta 3 better be coming tomorrow....

Unlikely, as it’s holiday weekend.

Probably Thursday, but could be Wednesday or Friday.

You want this thread though, Where discussion of when next beta is coming:

iOS 17 Speculation Thread

I know its early, but we are just over 3 months until iOS 17 betas start, lets use this thread to speak about things we would like and wish in the upcoming update. For me its Split screen, New home page with new UI including 3d icons with shadows, interactive widgets.

iPhone is running hot today. Not sure why… going to restart the device. It could be the weather. 🥵

Is there a way to re-install Beta 2? Other than a clean install, I don't want to backup/restore again which takes 4+8 hours.
I want to get rid of wallpaper problem because my Lock Screen is the second battery drainer app in the list. God know when Beta 3 is due. Re-install might solve the problem.
