Yeah, if you don’t do that you’re going to have a world of hurt setting up your new phone if you’re getting one
I've updated the phone and TV. Hope the remote updates soon as losing the remote is an almost daily occurrence with my 8 year olds!
After updating HomePods, Siri no longer works on them at all. She tries, and gives up. Some other users are reporting this in another thread as well. Super lame
I think it might be a server issue. I’ve been running the beta versions and so didn’t update today and they were fine until this morning. Now Siri is failing for me too. I reported it in the feedback app.
Anyone here having problems with Siri follow up? I’m on XSMAX. Whenever I ask Siri for weather and then ask a follow up question it doesn’t do anything.
Well those contact posters are a load of garbage, they don't bloody work!
Mine has been setup for a while as I hopped on to iOS 17 with Beta 7, the wife and child have now updated to 17 public release so we are all running the same software and they set up all their posters and yup they don't transfer over.
The daughters one came to me and is working and mine has gone to hers but it only shows up in the contacts app on hers and reverts back to a manual photo she set of me from before on the lock and dialler screen even though in the contacts app it is set to auto update from me, however this could be because she is a child with screen time restrictions.
The wife was excited to call me after settings hers up and nope mine doesn't show on hers and hers doesn't show on mine, I've even gone into my contacts app and I only have the old previous shared contact photo option for her.
This could all be server related due to it being new and shiny and everyone setting them up at the same time, but so far yeah not impressed and this is probably quite easy to miss in beta testing unless you have friends and family running betas too.

Make sure Incoming calls is set to Fullscreen
Settings > Phone
Also reboot all your families devices.
I had something similar when I put my wife's phone onto the RC.
Also in iMessage settings…
Share name and contacts
> contacts only
Show contact photos
> On

Yeah the wifes one isn't saving for some reason, although mine did work on hers in the end. I told her to reboot but both her and my daughter have a thing about rebooting their devices like its a massive chore. Although you cant beat the old power and home buttons together to reboot so much easier than the secret code entering we have today.
Sounds like they could really do with a good old reboot.
I’ve edit my original post. Few other things to check 👍🏼
CHECK THIS OUT....
So on my iPhone 14 Plus on IOS 16.6.1 I did an Speedometer 2.1 run with an score of 354 points.
On IOS 17 after giving the phone a while to rest after the update I got a score of 395.
To me that's more exciting than most of the features that i won't use.
I can't wait for Sonoma now!

Requires iPhone 11 or later.. I guess? There seems to be an inconsistency between the main iOS 17 page and this document: https://www.apple.com/ios/ios-17/pdf/iOS_All_New_Features.pdf
Having used iOS 17 for a while I don’t even feel like I have a new ios installed, honestly feels the same as iOS 16
Around 7-9 years this would’ve been a .2-3 release, but know the times are different ☹️
