Good to hear 👍. Did you do anything else while updating? Did you install from IPSW or go as usual with the OTA?
Got a tip for us?

These are supposed to be representing different tab groups alongside with the "private browsing" and the "general" tab group.

Thought if you didn’t have a different tab group yet it would look cleaner without. Mines blank and just looks odd? 😁
Just created a tab group to tidy it up a bit. Looks better now, thanks 👍🏻

I agree with you. It would look cleaner without the empty tab, or with something that would suggest user to create a new tab group.
A good candidate for suggestion via the feedback app though 😉
my iPhone 12 Pro Max is getting quite hot on light usage (88% battery health). It is now 10:35 am and my battery is already at 79 % after wasting some time on Instagram Reels in bed this morning.
My iPhone 12 Pro was very hot after first install of beta 7 yesteday. I’ve gotten into the habit of doing several hard reboots after a fresh beta (probably about 5 since yesterday 😁) phone is cool to touch now. Battery isn’t as good as previous iOS release but it’s less than 24 hours after the beta install, so it’s probably still indexing.
Recently added has always (since App Library was introduced) shown ones that have had recent app updates, it’s not just newly bought/downloaded.
Maybe that’s what you’re seeing?
Really good performance improvements on this beta, but my battery life take a huge hit compared to beta 6. iPhone 14 Pro Max

Another update on this workaround. Apparently it has to be done after a reboot. I rebooted my phone this morning and the TV and Music apps were broken again. Did the language workaround and they are back functioning. Putting in a FB ticket now.

Simply updated OTA and like magic it worked the first time and every time since
I'm really hoping that beta 7 is not the final release. Battery life has been worse than 16.6
It’s so interesting how the beta is different for everyone. My battery life has been amazing!I'm really hoping that beta 7 is not the final release. Battery life has been worse than 16.6
Anyways, I think there’s probably going to be a beta 8 and then an RC after that.
I was just thinking the same thing about how everyone's experience with betas differs!
So far I haven't had any major bugs, and it is running really smooth on my 14 PM (Knock on wood) everything on my end is great besides the battery life.
Don't think so.
Had 20 updates yesterday and only two are in the Recently folder.
What I have:
- ChatGPT - new (update yesterday)
- FireFox Focus - old
- Geekbench 6 - new
- GMail - old (update yesterday)
- HP Smart - old
- iRobot - old
- Mint Mobile - new
- X - maybe old, maybe new
Yeah the battery life on this beta is trash not gonna lie.
It's not even 7PM and I'm left with 21% with 3,5h of SOT by doing nothing major - just sending texts on iMessage, using safari, checking mail and that's it. I haven't even used instagram and twitter today.
I have 13 Pro Max and I unplugged it at 6:30am so... yeah
Also I don't know what they're doing with the space that's used on my iPhone but it keeps changing all the time - yesterday I had 221GB used, today in the morning it was 203GB and right now it's 224GB and before upgrading to iOS 17 my used space was around 195GB or so

14PM running 17PB5.
On Day 2 with this beta, battery life was excellent - about 60 to 80 minutes of screen-on time per each 10% of battery drain.
On Day 3, not as good: 3 hours of screen-on time and battery drained by 1/3 (from 100% to 67%).
All first- and third-party apps I've tested are working normally, as expected, at least in the ways I use them.
No problems with performance. So far, so good.
Haven't been able to test CarPlay yet, though.

I took my phone out of my pocket today and the screen would not come on. Needless to say first reboot since installing.

Weird, mine has always been, and currently is a mix of apps I’ve recently purchased or recently updated in the last week or so, ones that I commonly use.
