Ok cool.
Ive been downloading the new Xcode and using the MD.pkg as good practise every time anyway, so just wondered if things had got spicy all of a sudden. Thanks for letting know.
Got a tip for us?

I only update it when something isn‘t working… and this was such an occasion😅
Had to start the iPhone (15PM) update twice though as it threw me an error (10) during the process and then the phone was stuck in restore mode. Was able to update and NOT restore then fortunately at the second attempt
Without the contrast, the lock and low battery are red and yellow, I didn’t remember this on previous betas.

Frequently used emojis looks like it has been fixed.
Strange, I never updated the MobileDevice.pkg from latest Xcode beta and IPSW installed with no issues.
Resolved:
Dark mode with light icons were still showing dark icons in spotlight searches in beta 4. They are now light icons again in beta 5, matching my Home Screen and App Library.
But they are still dark in the Apps folder within Settings.
Close enough.

I actually like this a lot more! It's more consistent with how most other app icons are single colors on grayscale.
New change. The Lock Screen notification icons now show their dark mode version when phone is locked with always on display turned on. When you pick up the phone the icon switches to the light mode icon as the display turns bright. This is cool. I’m using automatic icons (light / dark).
Shortcuts: An issue where one couldn't change the voice used in the "Speak" action has been fixed. You may need to go through each one and select the voice you require, even if it looks correct.
I use one of the Siri voices as all the rest sound rubbish (British English).
This applies to MacOS and iOS latest betas - you only need to fix the shortcuts in one place (I think).

Bilingual keyboard is still not working properly (it has been flaky on all betas) - This beta breaks the selection of the layout. But clearly they're working on it.
My icons all show as dark icons when doing spotlight searches when my icons are currently set as light icons so it’s still bugged for me.
That started with 17.5. Lots of anecdotal reporting that it is still a problem.
Don't know if it's a bug or a new feature, but whenever I want to zoom my page to fit full screen in Safari, it turns it into a tab. Pinch my fingers inwards, turns it into a tab. Keep one finger stationary and slowly move my other finger, most times works. Weird.
