iOS 17 Beta 4 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

Personally, I much prefer the Beta 3 icons, particularly the preview stack of the photos that looks like the photo stack that shows up in iMessage threads.
- In settings, Enable Live Voice Mail
- In the Phone app, go to Voicemail, Greeting, then select Custom.
It should then be using the greeting you recorded, instead of the Apple Marketing-like message. It isnt' intuitive seeting the Custom Greeting option. Once I selected Custom, I expected for the Save button to change color. I ended up slecting Custom, then hit the Cancel button. When I when into the Greeting screen again, Custom was selected, and when my wife called she heard my voice, not the Apple default greeting.
The app launches, but doesn’t work properly. Cant load its lists into Safari and also throws other errors. On all my iOS devices running Beta 3 and 4. Multiple bug reports on Adguards support website have been made where they acknowledge that Apple changed some things and they’re waiting for Apple to fix them in a new beta.
Another user on this forum also listed Wipr as having issue and the FAQ on the Wipr devs site says the app is broken since Beta 3 and they’re working with Apple on a fix.
I assumed this is not a “some users” bug but rather the underlying system used by these blockers has been broken by Apple for all users. So maybe check again if it really is working for you.
Adguard (non pro) worked fine on Beta 1 and 2 for me but broke on all my iOS devices from Beta 3 onwards.
Turning on Live Voicemail for me does nothing. It no longer transcribes live or even answers to transcribe. My normal carrier voicemail message (which was previously recorded in the 'custom greeting' section you referenced) answers the call and I receive my voicemail the old fashioned way with the usual transcription.
Edit: restarted my phone and Live Voicemail works again, however it’s the same greeting it was before. I’m guessing your wife just got your regular voicemail. If she didn’t leave a voicemail where you could see what she was saying live on the screen, then that wasn’t Live Voicemail, unfortunately.
Edit 2: this now works! Sorry for doubting!

My wipr app broken too from beta 3 and 4. (Blocks ads)
Me too, the last photo taken shown was nice, now we have the horrible ios7 playskool photo icon back in messages. Was hoping they were getting away from that monstrosity.

No, it works for Live VM. I had to record it twice as the first time didn't save. But tested it from one of my VoIP phone apps and worked perfectly with custom greeting.
Time for me to test the beta!
According to users seems pretty good ☺️

Damn! Just tried again and it worked that time. I was even expecting to have to re-record my greeting for it to take.
Closing apps by swiping up in B4 now has a small stutter on the 14 Pro Max, first time that bug has appeared as the other betas were fine.
Nice to see the low frame rate in Apple Maps is now smooth again in B4.

Weird. Purify (ad-blocker that hasn’t been updated in 4 years) is working for me perfectly.
Edit: to add picture of app

Beta 4 seems much smoother and stable that beta 3! Loving it so far
Everytime I update or restart my iPhone, I have to go in my widget stacks and reset which widget I'm using. For example, if my Top Widgets has 5 in the list, it reverts to showing nothing. Then I have to press and choose the one I'm using.
Agreed. I was just about to hop off the beta train, but wanted to wait and see how beta 4 was going to perform. Very pleased so far, and haven’t noticed any big issues. Working on updating my watches now.
Agreed! It’s only been hours, but a number of semi-long standing issues I’ve had are now resolved.
It’s one of my most hated iOS icons, it never made sense to me anyways as what does that thing have to do with photos? The original icon looked great, it would take Apple like 5 minutes to come up with something better. Flat, lifeless icons never have looked good nor will they ever. The find my and shortcuts icons both look very good, so Apple can do it, all it takes is something other than a white background and a little bit of shading/gradients/detail to make a good icon.
Some examples:
Shortcuts, awesome icon, below it one of my favorite from Tide Guide, simple and good looking, above them Hygro, looks great.
Now look at this, everything under the creativity folder in the App Library. The worst looking are all Apple icons, Photos, Clips (ewww), and Freeform, just bland psych ward clip art.
Edit: Now that I think about it would be really neat if they made the Photos icon on the homescreen show the last image taken like they did in messages until today.

Having issues with cellular after installing the update. It shows an error in the Cellular in settings. Says an update is required to use cellular data on this iPhone. Basically it's constantly searching for signal and normally have 5 bars of service. I know service works as wife's phone is working. This is on 14pro Max
Yes that is the first thing I did. Bring to avoid reinstalling from a clean slate
