just got this “do more with iCloud” message.

BTW, my messages app says that I have 94.6 GB of iCloud storage used up. And when checking on it, it just states that only 17.42 GB is my Top Conversations.

When checking iPhone storage and messages app, it shows that only 3.13 GB is used up of my iPhone storage.

I’ve been having this discrepancy since beginning of beta 17.

I’ve had this issue since iOS 16, it’s never accurate for some reason

App Store- Check out the new, “UPDATE” button. It looks a lot bolder now. I like it. I like it Bold. ⚫️

Let's compare it to iOS 16 below:

13 ProMax

First thing I noticed, all my deleted Phone Recents and Phone VM from the last week have been restored.
Sigh….

Using Mint Mobile (TMobile).

I strangely had that occur as well. Verizon.

Yea, I am really not sure of what my icloud storage usage is actually correct. any advise on how to re-sync without loosing data?

Since dev beta 3... both my iPhone and iPad keeps reminding me to verify the recovery key for iCloud encryption, I type the key and the message disappears, but it keeps appearing again, in beta 3 was in matters of minutes, now in Beta 5 it is instantly, anyone else have the same issue?

Until this beta I have got it on a daily basis, now still don’t pop up but today with beta 4 it already did it.

I am seeing a few issues with iCloud on this beta. iCloud storage doesn’t show anything and when selecting manage storage it says verification failed. Also, doesn’t appear in my case that iCloud Photos are syncing changes either.

edit: never mind on the storage, it just started resolving itself. Apple might be doing some tweaks on the backend. Will keep an eye on iCloud Photos.

Re-indexing. Takes time to get all back to "normal".

Using Mint Mobile (TMobile).

While having the update download, I manually deleted all voicemails as well as half of them from “recently deleted” tab. After the update, I did see a red circle next to the voicemail, however, it dissapeared right after selecting it and nothing being in the tab. Recently deleted voicemail tab also disappeared.

Update: Just checked and is back lol. 1 voicemail is available from 1 month ago and “deleted messages” is back with the left over messages.

Gapless playback seems to be broken. Hearing slight gaps between tracks on MP3 live Albums.

That’s a constant issue for me, regardless of iOS version. Sometimes it works, sometimes not.

I go by the iCloud screen even though mine is still not accurate in other places

So far this seems fairly polished for only beta 5...... It needs a little more work to get to the end, but overall it seems good so far.

 

[upandown]

It’s very early but so far beta 5 appears to be more polished. In general iOS 17 has been very good with fewer issues than years past. IMO they are ahead this year with squashing bugs. We’re only on 5 and this feels like it could be ready for prime time.

I have had that issue since iCloud Message was introduced …

 

[gwhizkids]

I keep expecting to see the Journal, will that only appear in the very last beta?

Will not be in 17.0 at all. Look for it in 17.2 or .3 in December (like Freeform last year)

After suffering from massive frame drops/stuttering on B4 on my 14PM since that came out on the homescreen and closing apps and no amount of reinstalling fixed it, B5 has fixed the issue.

UI in B5 is now super silky smooth and not a frame drop in sight 😁

 

[nortonandreev]

With Beta 4, pretty much the only issue I had was that apps would crash randomly – not very often, but often enough for me to lose some data (this included the built-in Notes app).

Hopefully this is now resolved.

In general, I was thinking today that this year feels slightly different overall. Like betas have been quite stable and we haven’t been seeing much changes between the betas, as we have done in the past years. I guess this have made the beta testing period a bit less exciting, but it’s good to see a relatively polished release at lunch day. Similar experience with macOS.

 

[Yandawg]

The ability to use hidden photo's as wallpaper has came back on this beta. It was not available during the first 4 beta's.

 

[gwhizkids]

To be fair though, the preview page just says “later this year”, ios17 is later this year

That is not a smart reply.

 

[swarlos]

Apple seriously needs to get their crap together. Anyone else seeing this on Wi-Fi iPad? I’m freaking connected to Wi-Fi.

 

[Ansath]

That is not a smart reply.

Especially when it’s ignoring the facts provided….. It’s like why should anyone bother replying when the response to anyone providing an answer will be that.

it doesnt light up, but the "always on" screen used to put the notification on the screen pretty quickly on iOS 16

I'm experiencing the exact same thing as you! This was happening to me on b4 as well so I downgraded to b3 and it was working normally. Just updated back to b5 and the issue is back 😩 I usually see the notification pop up on the Lock Screen but it is reallllly small! Watch doesn't vibrate. If you tap the phone screen, the notification grows to normal size but still never makes it way to the watch.

 

[DNichter]

As in having it fill screen or not?

If so, optional for me.

Thanks for the update. I did a reboot and I still have to show fullscreen.

Tapping the cover art doesn’t switch it? If so, report that bug.

yea its weird. I think it just behaved normally on the last notification I got a couple minutes ago too, so Ill have to pay attention more today. I only notice it when Im sitting at my desk and the phone is on the charger, but thats when I'd rather glance at my phone over picking up my wrist to look at my watch.

AT&T carrier version changed from 54.0.1 to 55.0 on iphone 13 pro max. (wish we would know the change).

I notice it only happens with Messages notifications. Notifications from any other app seem to work fine.
