Hi guys.

How many of you are running the iOS17 betas? :)

Just curious, as we are a rather 'uncommon' group of people who are probably more interested in Apple than the average consumer.

It'd be interesting to see it represented as a % as such.

Thanks :)
 
When i install iOS 17 public beta the only issue i faced was with Hotspot on Boost Mobile. Everything i tried hotspot still didn't work.
I reverted back from iOS 17 public beta to iOS 16.5.x now since i use hotspot very often.
opened bug feedback to apple i may try to install a future version of iOS 17 public beta once it is confirmed hotspot is working on Boost mobile.

That's an annoying bug. Good on you for reporting it - hopefully they address it soon
 
Like many of us, I’m running it on some devices & not others. So I’m not voting as it’d skew the percentage.
 
Been running the new betas across 14P, iPP and Mac Mini M2 Pro since dev beta 1. So far the only issue I’ve had is with the iPhone keyboard covering messages since beta 3
 
I was tempted to install it on my iPad only, but then I realized the issues I have had in the past. Its just not worth any potential headaches.
 
I come here to see the updates and how the new iOS is progressing, but won't run any beta software on my own devices.
 
Currently I am not. But I am strongly considering installing it on my 14 Pro. I’m sure I’ll eventually do it… at some point.
 
I was all-in, but the broken SMS syncing had me backtrack on the Mac.. however my mobile, tablet and watch are all still on the beta

Roughest go at a beta I've ever seen, but it isn't all that bad. The broken iMessage/SMS sync is what cripples me the most. Hope that gets addressed soon (going back on the Mac didn't fix it entirely, but the situation does seem improved somewhat with beta 3)
 
I’m using it on my 14 pro max which I regret but think I may pick up a SE going forward for all Betas
 
I would’ve loved to try it out on my 14 Pro Max, but I’m not upgrading to the 15 Pro Max this year, and want my 14 Pro Max to feel like a brand new phone in September with the new update and a new case. That should tide me over until the upgrade itch is over for me in November.

Is this just an issue with Mac syncing or Does the normal iMessage SMS work with the phone regularly
