In Apple Music, it looks like they’ve removed “Share Lyrics” from all menus UNLESS you’re currently listening to the song whose lyrics you want to share.
Now you have to long press the song (or tap the “…”) and then select “View Credits” and then “View Lyrics” and only THEN do you get the option to “Share Lyrics”
Not a fan of this change.
EDIT: actually, I guess you can long press or tap “…” and then select “Share Song” — then there’s an option on the share sheet to share lyrics. Meh.

11:18 AEST is 6:48 IST.
tried restarting, removing widget and adding it back, changing cities…
World time gets updated when you restart, then stays there, may be would be helpful to know when the phone was restarted 😂
Wow! Amazing photo of Palm Jumeirah 😍
Really love it!
Animations have been super choppy on mine on beta 4, especially when opening and closing an app. Since nobody else seems to be having this issue, I’ll try to reinstall with the IPSW. Otherwise, the iOS 17 betas have for sure been going in the right direction. The battery life is better than what I was getting on iOS 16 and seems to be getting better with each new one. Just waiting for the update that fixes the storage bug as every year.
The animated rain droplets landing on the panels were part of the new Weather app in IOS 16. But in iOS 17 rain droplets now run down the back of each panel. It's a subtle effect but certainly a new.

I wouldn’t say “nobody else” is having the issue. Several people did report that shortly after installing beta 4. But your approach makes sense. Make sure to report it, if you haven’t already.
Oops, my apologies, I hadn't noticed similar replies. IPSW reinstall made the problems I was facing go away. Phone is no longer running hot constantly so the battery got even better. And I'm not seeing any dropped frames when jumping between apps. Apps don't have to reload as often, too (the most annoying problem I had by far) - yesterday I was reading a book and listening to some music from Apple Music so I jumped to the Apple Music app to change the song for 5 seconds and when I came back to Books, it had to reload and I had to open the book I was reading all over again.. I was like, come on, seriously it couldn't hold that in the RAM?? But glad to say it's all sorted itself out.
Love that you’ve taken the initiative and effort to reinstall the iOS.
Works wonders. Unfortunately a lot of people just think it’s a rubbish beta and wait for the next one to fix it. Which is doesn’t. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. 👍
Yup, just an update through IPSW from Beta 4 to the same Beta 4, worked perfectly. Takes no more than 10 minutes to install it and none of the data is affected - I think this is going to be the main way to install updates for me from now on
Your telling me! 😆😂
I think I’ll do the same 👍🏼
Where did you hear about this genius procedure ?
Definitely giving it a go later because while everything is working as it should and battery life is fine, the homescreen UI stuttering/dropping frames is extremely annoying in this beta, hopefully a quick reinstall over the top fixes it.
Am I doing something wrong because I had both of my ISPW reinstalls on betas 3 and 4 go wrong and had to wipe phone then restore from iCloud backup? I start the ISPW reinstall, and then it goes wrong and iPhone shows connect to computer screen.
Could be. Are you sure you're downloading the correct IPSW, as those differ by device? Also, make sure you're option-clicking on update rather than restore. But that's the only thing I can think of. Regardless, if you made a backup it never hurts to try again, apart from just losing some time.
Thank you. Yep, correct device and option-click on update. Not sure why it keeps going wrong. It’s been enough of a headache and the beta has luckily been fine for me now that I hope to not have to mess with it again, but just couldn’t figure out what was going wrong.
Isn’t there a thread dedicated to all this IPSW stuff? I thought [mention]Pearsey [/mention] created one?
