Today, Apple continues its rollout of iOS 17 Developer Beta 5 for developers. The update primarily brings subtle adjustments and minor enhancements to the new operating system, with some notable changes such as:- Buttons for downloading apps (like GET, OPEN, UPDATE…) on the App Store will now be in title case format (Get, Open, Update…) instead of all uppercase as before
- Revamped the messaging for Live Voicemail feature, making it more user-friendly. The previous default prompt, 'the person you're calling may pick up…,' led to confusion, causing some users to hold instead of leaving a voicemail. The current prompt is now 'Your call has been forwarded to voicemail…'
- Enhanced the interface of the mood tracking feature in the Health app with various graphics effects and customizable visual options
- Upon first opening the private browsing tab after updating to iOS 17, a new screen will appear, offering users the choice to enable private web browsing with Face ID or a passcode. While this feature was enabled by default in previous beta versions, it seems it will be an optional activation for users when iOS 17 stable version is released
- Opening the Remote app in the Control Center now triggers a new pop-up introducing the Siri Remote location feature via iPhone. However, it is not operational at the moment
- Safari's shortcut keys will now feature distinct icons, providing clearer and specific representations for each action instead of all being the generic Safari icon as before
- The interface for the Check-In feature demo screen in the Messages app has been refined to highlight the difference between sharing limited data and sharing full data. This interface also displays battery level and iPhone unlock information, data sent alongside location information
To update, for those on Dev Beta 4, simply check for updates. For those not yet on it, navigate to Settings > General > Software Update > Beta Updates, select iOS 17 Developer Beta, and then check for updates.
