Apple Rolls Out iOS 17 Beta 2 – Everything New In The Updated Version Of iOS
(CTN NEWS) – During WWDC23, iOS 17 beta 1 was made available to developers after months of rumours and conjecture.
Additionally, as our hands-on with the software demonstrates, iOS 17 is a rather minimal update, especially if you don’t frequently use iMessage and FaceTime to connect with your friends and family.
Despite this, there are still many minor upgrades spread throughout the system, and Apple is making more with each new beta release.
It’s time to dig into this build and see what modifications and new features it might contain now that iOS 17 beta 2 is accessible to those signed up for the Apple Developer Programme.
What’s New In iOS 17 Beta 2
Tap to AirDrop
On iOS 17 beta 2, when attempting to AirDrop something, the interface now indicates that you can initiate the transfer by bringing two iPhones close to one another.
The function was initially announced during WWDC, although beta 1 appeared to lack it.
Fitness section in Settings
On iOS 17 beta 2, there is a new section for the Fitness app in the Settings app. Users can check how their data is handled and control a few of the app’s permissions there.
Standby tweaks
Standby mode was initially included in iOS 17 beta 1. The Standby settings now include a new toggle in Beta 2 that gives you the option to turn off non-critical notifications.
Regular notifications won’t crowd your screen while you’re in this mode because of this.
Crossfade in Apple Music
In the Music settings of iOS 17 beta 1, a Crossfade toggle was included. However, when it was enabled, the Settings app would crash and users would be unable to access the Music area once more.
Thankfully, iOS 17 beta 2 corrects this flaw and adds a slider so you may choose the number of seconds for the crossfade feature.
