According to subject line of my AppleSeed email, there are new updates for everything.

However, the body lists everything except the Watch.

And the build number listed for the HomePods is 2 builds newer than what is listed in the Home app.
 
Weird -- Settings just claimed new iOS 17 Beta 3 available (even already running B3) ... same for iPadOS 17 b3

Just loading and checking build number ... seems I missed that update completely on my radar

is it me, or is the Contact Photo & Poster feature still one giant mess?
  • There is place in Settings -> [Name] where you can tab on your profile picture to adjust it. This interface is however so unintuitive. It allows you create Contact Photo's and Posters and then assign it to you'r contact card or something, it took me half an hour to figure out how it actually works.
  • There is a place Settings -> Messages -> Share Name and Photo where you can can then tab on your profile picture to adjust it.
  • Then there is the same item in Settings -> Phone -> Share Name and Photo, but when you go there, there's only a single radio button and you can't adjust your Name and photo like you can in the messages setting.
  • Then there is a tab in the phone app where you can adjust it, but that interface is totally different from the one in the settings app. The one in the phone app allows a lot more customisation.
  • There is no such tab in the Messages app. Why would they allow you customise it from the Phone app, but not from the Messages app?
  • All in all everything seems really buggy, with Contact Photos and Posters randomly being created, duplicated or deleted. Colors are randomly reset to grey. Contact photos are not always properly aligned with the round crop area.
I really don't agree with Aaron Zollo on this that it seems to work flawlessly here. There is still a very long way from being finished.

There is a tab in messages. In the top right corner click Edit and then you can click your picture and change it
 
Beta 3 worked better for me than re-released beta 3. I notice that transitions now stutter from time to time, it never happened to me before. I also have some difficulties with the communication between the phone and my AirPods Pro 2. Anyone else?

Have a look at the release notes!

Oh, wait, they didn't bother to create any. They just sneakily pushed a new version of iOS and MacOS out to every beta tester without saying why or what's in it.
