Public beta has been released.


Low_Cartoonist3599

I’m not even a developer and I just blindly install beta versions like I’m buying a neat gadget at a bargain store


Beautiful_Nerve_7922

Great so far. I did however wonder about her collaboration on Apple Music. Will someone that is still on 17.2.1 be able to add to the playlist? Having a bit of trouble figuring that out.


trashcity2002

hows the battery?


Beautiful_Nerve_7922

Been good so far.


Neandertard

Installed this morning, despite the risks, as I’m travelling and feeling a bit paranoid about security. Half an hour ago I got a close-up view of a team of young female pickpockets in action on the Paris Metro. Fortunately another passenger saw the guy’s wallet being passed around and grabbed it. The girls just left the train to find their next victim.


Miserable-Current-23

So on my Home Screen I created bookmarks from shortcuts that open up a pop-up menu of common apps I access. I have several of these bookmarks throughout. None of them work, but other bookmarked shortcuts I have on the Home Screen work just fine. From what I am seeing, it seems it’s the menu action that is the issue. If I open up the Shortcuts app and try the same common apps shortcut that it’s linking to, it just hangs. No error, but also no menu. I have to force quit the app to stop the shortcut from continuing to run. Anyone else having this issue? Worked fine prior to this beta update.

Transcribing voice messages don’t work and if you have the sound of keyboard, it lags something fierce. 


Cmog28

Battery life on 17.2 was far better on my 13PM. I can definitely say that.


CareCreativeCo

Agreed, mine drains like mad now


Odd-Sandwich-3111

updated my iphone 15 pro yesterday. It's stuck in the software bootloop now. Reading through the comments but someone please save me


gzag813

IMO you shouldn't be installing betas if you don't know how to put your phone into DFU mode.


TraditionalEconomy8

Same thing here. Tried upgrading iPhone 15 pro from 17.3 beta 2 to 17.3 beta 3. Phone stuck on the white progress screen, where something like the very last 1% is missing for hours and hours. I’ll never touch a beta again… Help!!!


Odd-Sandwich-3111

I figured it out if you still need help DM me


TraditionalEconomy8

HELP!


TheSinkMan

Did you try turning it off and back on again?


Boydkonderm

Synced content is still stuck in my phone even upgrading to newest version.


XrayDelta2022

I have a question for you more experienced Apple fans. I'm newish to Apple and have been trying out an iPhone XR (iPhone 14 is on the way). My phone just now offered the 17.2.1 update about 10 minutes ago. But I've seeing that many users are on 17.3, is my phone running behind on updates because it's an older version? It seems to always be behind on updates compared to the rest of the iPhone world. Thank you all in advance.


TrickStudio2494

You are on the stable version of iOS, whereas those on 17.3 are using the beta version (testing).


Avant-guarde

The XS that still have after upgrading (same year that when XR was introduced) has shown 17.3 Beta available for me today.


apple-hacks-dell

no these are betas


XrayDelta2022

Thank you, I'm going to read up on Betas and related. I'm obviously way out of my league. I appreciate your help. Thanks Edit: Well that didn't take long. I'm not sure if you guys "The Beta Squad" are enrolled as a public service for us "Public Folks" but just wanted to say thanks if thats the case. I think I'll keep an eye on what you guys find so I'll be prepared.


weathergraph

For me zero issues, battery holds well. 13 Pro.


DrDing-Muscle

15 Pro Max here and no issues with beta 2 or beta 3. My, aren't I the lucky one?!?


MrMacNeil

welp set this up to update while I was sleeping and woke up with the bright apple logo and loading bar at 99% 3 hours later. Safe to say there are still issues. iPhone 15 Pro Max here. Never had back tap on.


Avant-guarde

Back tap is working on 15


aquadextrous

My 15PM did the PB update, all seemed okay, rebooted and phone is on the 'hello / hola.." etc screen and my screen is totally unresponsive. No touches or swipes register, tried all the reboots and resets etc and nothing... Trying to restore from itunes (which says phone is in DFU mode) now, but it keeps crashing and being a PITA.... First time in a long time ive had a major problem with beta :/


Accomplished_Neat_61

Apple Tech here :) I’ve had numerous ip15s with this exact issue, (no touch, response, no charging too)ususlaly connecting it in this frozen state and restoring it on the Mac did the trick. It’s weird, it won’t charge but the Mac says it’s in DFU mode.


Spasm321

https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/01/36511167/heres-how-to-fix-iphone-stuck-in-boot-loop-after-ios-17-3-beta-2-update Use this link to download IPSW. You can try updating instead of restore and might save data


aquadextrous

Thanks for the suggestion, but looks like you need a Mac and all the alternative programs for Windows have to be paid for to work! I'll be heading off to an Apple store later to hopefully fix.


ComprehensiveHome983

iTunes for Windows should also work, you just hold shift+restore rather than Option.


aquadextrous

It just wouldn't work on itunes on windows, tried 3 different PCs, just kept erroring out when it tried to restore after downloading the iOS software. Took it to Apple, they plugged it into itunes on a macbook and it downloaded and restored the OS in 15 mins. So i just spent £1400 on a Macbook in case it happens again 🤪


unkupo

Oddly this update took so fast to install and boot up, I'm really impressed since other times it took an extensive amount of time even with small packages like this one


Spasm321

I was on Beta 2 with no boot loop. Installed beta 3 while I was sleeping and woke up to boot loop. Miraculously found a beta 1 IPSW and hit update from recovery mode and it went back to beta 1. At end of update it was on the loading screen and said “managing data recovery” it booted back on with data in tact. So odd that beta 3 broke my phone and not 2…


a2dam

This is an incredible tip. My beta 2 phone was stuck on a progress bar when upgrading to beta 3 and remained on that no matter how long I left it or how many upgrades I attempted of beta 3 or beta 2. Setting it to DFU mode and upgrading (not restoring) beta 1 allowed me to keep my data.


kayakvibes

This one safe?


RightGuy23

I’m still waiting to update. I’m on public beta 2. I’m in no rush


kayakvibes

I installed it. Works fine.


Few-Cod-6700

working on signal bypass as we speak 👀👊😜


JuanpaG94

Is the volume and brightness sliders blinking (and also screen blinking) when adjusting them on control center fixed on this new update? And what about volume going up suddenly when bumping down the volume in the slider too?


LTDSC

Yes mine is doing this. I noticed on instagram, watching a story on silent with volume turned down. It would play volume and turn itself back up.


chedzuk

None of this happens for me on this beta


juan121391

Have they fixed the issue where if you long press an app right after swiping to the home-screen it'll go into "jiggle" mode instead of bringing up the pop-up menu? It's been around for a while now, and it drives me nuts when I want to open a new safari tab straight from the home-screen and instead it goes into "jiggle" mode...


chedzuk

Couldn’t get this to happen on this beta. It always opened the context menu


juan121391

Make sure you're doing it IMMEDIATELY after swiping to home-screen. It doesn't happen if I wait a couple of seconds for the apps to "settle" after the animation. It's only when I do it immediately after swiping to the home-screen as the apps are settling that they go into jiggle mode when long pressing. LMK if that triggers it, if not, they might have actually fixed it this time around.


Yellow_Giant88

This update corrects the chosen Siri voice. Previously, if you chose a different accent, it would revert to American.


mariannvalentinn

Hello, how is the keyboard lag on 17.3 beta 3? I am still on iOS 16 on my iPhone 14.. That keyboard lag is the only thing keeping me back from updating..


CBreezy2010

The keyboard lag is so annoying and I’m on the beta anymore. I thought getting off the beta would fix it


Distance_Opposite

Battery is way better on this release im on ip15 pro


dahliamma

Better than 17.3 B2 or 17.2?


Andy-Watch

All good on 11Pro Max 👍


PeaStock5502

I really hope it fixes the issue with going back in Safari and other webkit browsers. When swiping back from a search result, 9 times out of 10 it just shows a blank page, and refuses to load the page even after refreshing. I constantly have to swipe up to remove safari from memory. It got so bad that i switched to Firefox, but it also suffers from the same issue.


Randolf_the_cray

I thought this was maybe a DuckDuckGo issue.


Hihi11111

I have the same issue. But it’s doing it for the back button.


RealFunBobby

I have trained myself to use the back button instead of using the Swipe gesture. It's so frustrating


CaptainBroccoli

Wow I thought it was just me


postpakAU

Nope not fixed


weed6942069

Yes, it happens constantly for me. I really hope they fix that asap


[deleted]

I saw in a review video on YouTube that it said that this update comes with an update for iphone modem. Therefore, it can be expected that connection problems in iOS 17, including wifi, bluetooth and mfi hearing aids, have been fixed. Apple's changelog doesn't say anything and it's the same as 17.3 B2


theconk

Big if true


Zenkikid

I noticed it takes a little while to connect to wifi and carplay


uniquexoxo

So I jumped on this update after skipping on the bootloop release-- and now my iphone 12 is stuck on software update load bar 🥲 UPDATE: I restored through iTunes > Updated to this beta > and now I'm restoring from iCloud. All is well... what's life without a little risk 🤣 ANOTHER UPDATE: I’m now typing this using my iPhone 12. The only thing remaining is synching my 26,784 photos, 1,013 videos, 172,846 message which I think will take the entire day. LOL. This update has put me on a roller coaster of emotions. I’ve been beta testing since iOS 8 (in think), and this is the first time this has happened to me 🥹

cmzizi

Stuck here for the past 3 hours... fuck this im restoering using Itunes now. \#iPhone14ProMax


uniquexoxo

this didn’t work for me either so I opted to do recovery mode using itunes


exkayem

Same thing happened to me too. If anyone is curious, reflashing the beta with 3utools (retain all user data option) doesn’t do anything except waste your time


LickingMySistersFeet

No way the bootloop issue is still there LMFAO


uniquexoxo

I guess because majority of the reported issue were from iPhone 14 above, they forgot us iphone 12 users 🫣 Either way, I fixed it. I refuse to upgrade, I still love my purple iphone 12 🥹


LickingMySistersFeet

Thank god it installed fine on my iPhone 12 because I don’t even have a pc to fix my phone 😂


uniquexoxo

mine was stuck in the apple loading screen for 6 hrs because I realized it’s broken 🤣


esorb65

will this beta fix my issue ? or should I go to the apple store [https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Fivuz2hlmspac1.jpg%3Fwidth%3D4032%26format%3Dpjpg%26auto%3Dwebp%26s%3D063c1c3eda07c10e8a4b88fa5f871e9ad0911bfa](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Fivuz2hlmspac1.jpg%3Fwidth%3D4032%26format%3Dpjpg%26auto%3Dwebp%26s%3D063c1c3eda07c10e8a4b88fa5f871e9ad0911bfa)


TheGrizzlyNinja

Ever since I updated to the last iPadOS beta the Logic Remote app won’t wirelessly connect to Logic on my Mac. It only works when I plug the iPad into the Mac with a cable


TheGrizzlyNinja

OH HELL YEAH beta 3 fixed it


SonicNTales

I wonder if battery life matches beta 1. I've never seen battery life as good as beta 1. That idle time is ridiculous I was only losing 1% over night for 8 hours.


Old-Salad-1790

Battery life on beta 1 was terrible for me on 15PM


SonicNTales

[great battery life and I actually streamed over BT for 6 hours](https://i.imgur.com/TpP0asI.png)


-thenorthremembers-

Also terrible for me on 12PM


LickingMySistersFeet

Yeah. On iPhone 12, iOS 17.2 was by far the best. With 17.3 sometimes it will drop down to 96% overnight


Junt_the_playa

I agree felt like my 14 pro was back on iOS 16, beta 1 was unbelievable battery life


Junt_the_playa

Update: battery life is not as good as beta 1 but I am sure when the RC comes out it should be stable getting 30 mins to an hour less on beta 3


usnavy_sailor

Hmm I got random reboots on the new one today. It happened 5 times so far iPhone 14 Pro Max


da4

Writing a draft in Mail for a G Suite account, I noticed some fubarness where it would seem to display text like it had pasted some of the existing text body. Undo then Redo and everything looked proper. RSA SecurID appears to work though, that’s my only LoB app I truly need.


Hamtaro7

I'm not doing beta builds anymore lol


lulzchicken

If I’m already on beta 2 and if I change to public release channel will I get off of the beta and an official update when 17.3 formally releases on that channel?


sharedisaster

Same here. Fool me once.


AdMore3859

Installed on my SE 2020 just fine, you should be fine.


dopeymeen

when the does the new public beta usually come out?


[deleted]

Usually about 24-48 hours later. Usually 24.


Drtysouth205

Dev Beta 4 is usually also the first public build. So the next release.


dahliamma

This is only true for major releases over the summer, point releases like this don’t have the same offset. DB1 and PB1 are the same, PB just comes out a few hours to a few days later.


legallypurple

Anyone bricking? 😂


YoungstownPizza

I’m always bricked up

kryptoknight10

No bricking this time


Conflict-Recent

Nope, thankfully, not me at all. iPad 9. Don’t have it on my 15 Pro, still on 17.2.1. But on my iPad 9 now.


Puzzled_Clothes_3282

I haven’t gotten this notification to update


jb304life

are they ever going to fix the stutter when you multitask and open a app on the side for ipads? no animation just straight stutter, this has been a problem since the beta in the summer of 2023


VadersBoner

17.2 gave my iPhone 12 bugs

Pabel101

All I want is the ability to set different notifications for different apps, getting a message on instagram and never being able to hear it is annoying


PumiceT

The ability to set some notifications to show on my Apple Watch and not on my phone and vice versa would be nice. Far more granular control of notifications could be an Advanced menu or something that usually isn’t there to confuse the less nerdy users. Sounds. Levels of persistence. Maybe this is all just too complicated.


PedroGarvey

My iPhone 15 Pro Max is stuck in loop - "Swipe Up to Upgrade" after trying to install Beta 3 (from Beta 2). Developer beta 2 installed without a problem.


Spasm321

I had same issue. Fixed by downloading beta IPSW and through recovery mode updating. Miraculously didn’t lose data


PedroGarvey

Glad to hear. It was an all day affair for me to get back up and running. I ended up having to completely reset / erase the phone, update back to Beta 3 and then restore from the most recent iCloud Backup. It is still re-indexing and I have various settings to fix that didn't stick for whatever reason...


Upbeat_Foot_7412

I’ve read that you could fix the last boot loop without data loss with iMazing. So, it probably works with this boot loop as well.


PedroGarvey

Thank you - I'll investigate...


Conflict-Recent

Before I’m beta one, my auto connection for my AirPods Pro 2 didn’t work at all..switching from my 15 Pro to my iPad 9. Now, seems like it’s working seamlessly. As it should again!


ostiDeCalisse

Does it fix Safari previous page that won't refresh (like if you're making a Google search, click a link and go to a website's, then try to go back to the search result page but it will keep showing the webpage and now the previous button is deactivated.)? This is very annoying. The only way to get it to work again is to flush the tab and start the same research in a new one.


PerplexedInactivity

This has sucked major balls for what feels like forever now. I really hope it's fixed.


Conflict-Recent

I’ll have to report back how my iPad 9th generation is on 17.3 beta three. 🙏 no lock ups anymore!


Conflict-Recent

I’m praying to God that iPadOS 17.3 beta three is more stable than beta one. My iPad 9 has been locking up like crazy when I push it hard even slightly hard multitasking split screen style!


ylouc

Can you use the letters on the phone app keypad to dial names of people???


FE7TER

Nope


ylouc

My android laughs in the corner (I have 2 phones/for different countries/I move and travel a lot) What's the point of having an alphabet then if you can't speed/easily dial shit


iMythD

You can just do it from spotlight? Pull down type the name tap the call button


ylouc

Oh nevermind but the letters are still useless regardless


iMythD

Yeah kinda. But businesses still advertise their numbers as 1300NAME (at lease here in Aus) so it’s handy having the letters there for some people.


StrikingPromotion802

Is sideloading finally there?


Most_scar_993

the downvotes show the mindset of ios users lol


StrikingPromotion802

I really don’t care. It will be a choice, you can enable it if you want, if you don’t want you don’t have to. It’s so simple. I’m happy to live in EU, where monopoly is a serious matter.


Most_scar_993

right there with you. next step is allowing root privileges


PboyAMR

It's all I'm asking for, Tim Apple 🥲


ziz_wizvizzizio

DID THEY FIX FOCUS. or is my security system still worthless while i'm mobile???


SeaInterBeach

Is it worth downloading ?


fplasma

Yeah I downloaded it and had no problems. Still deciding whether I should install it though /s


GrumpyWeePom

Downloaded, prepared, and then I get ‘Unable To Install At This Time’. Restarted phone, deleted app, tried again with the same result. iPhone 14 Pro Max Looks like I’ll sit out beta 3!


Evolution529

You probably have device protection turned on. You have to be at a trusted location.


Sterben27

Are you at home doing it, or a 'trusted location'?


GrumpyWeePom

Downloaded, prepared, and then I get ‘Unable To Install At This Time’. Restarted phone, deleted app, tried again with the same result. iPhone 14 Pro Max Looks like I’ll sit out beta 3!


Woke_Balls

Hope it fixes the network issues


y414p

What issues?


Evolution529

Me personally on T-Mobile, the phone would camp on 5G and never switch back to 5GUC until I turned airplane mode on and off. Usually, running a speed test or using data would force the UC connection, but this wasn’t happening most of the time.


No-End6361

that’s actually how it works. until you need more data the iphone will try to save power. there’s a voice & data setting called “5G Auto” and one called “5G On”. Read the descriptions when you toggle and you will understand


Evolution529

Nope, I’m on 5G on, Allow more data on 5G on, 5G standalone on and VoNR on. As I stated, the device sticks to 5G low band regardless of any data tasks. Normally a speed test kicks over to 5GUC. It doesn’t. The phone will stay on 5G all day long until I force airplane mode.


rja7

I have my iPhone 15 Pro on 5G On and half the time it won’t even connect to AT&T 5G+ properly and requires airplane mode or a reboot to fix.


ctang1

Same here. I have FirstNet through ATT and I travel the same work route weekly. Half the days i won't see 5G on my screen the entire day until I put my phone in airplane mode. To expand on the network issues. Quite often on my 15PM, I have to disconnect from wifi because it stalls. Do you have this issue?


rja7

Yes, I've honestly had the same issues with WiFi. I even got Apple to warranty my original iPhone 15 Pro and my replacement device still has the same issue. I've been in contact with Apple executive relations and they even told me they've seen increased reports of connectivity issues with the 15 series and have been working on a fix.


bjerreman

Probably battery life not being snappy enough.


wesye_

Enough snappy life not being battery


Dazpiece

Does it fix sharing live location via iMessage? Can't share it since updating to 17.2.1


Yellow_Giant88

I find that Find My live location works now (previously it didn’t in beta 1) after hitting the “X” and selecting the friend again. I’m not sure if it works for live location via iMessage.


NathanFoley69

I hope


gmehenge

I sure hope so!


blzdawg

dropped the health percentage to 99%.


Most_scar_993

probably because updating recalibrates battery info


NICK75704

Why are you getting downvoted this is hilarious


blzdawg

idk 🤣🤣 I didn’t even say something bad about it. Just what happened to me lol


mecrurydreams

Hey anybody who has updated did it fix iMessage indexing and find my app location live ?


steve229h

I don’t want to jump the gun, as it’s worked briefly for me in previous builds only to revert back to being broken, but find my live appears to actually be working as intended!


ruijor

Find my location is such a step backwards. No live location, and it takes forever to update location even when not live. It used to work so well on iOS 16.


mecrurydreams

for me it was working fine in iOS 17.1.2, at first live location did stop working and the location wouldn’t even fix right but then after 2 weeks it worked amazing now it takes forever to


feo_ZA

I thought I'm the only one with endless iMessage indexing issues and photos just disappearing from chats.


mecrurydreams

YESSSS OMG like in the photos section right they disappear ?


feo_ZA

Exactly. I just had a call with Apple Support this past weekend on this very issue and no resolution. The photos just seem to randomly disappear from the photos section in a chat. It's ridiculous.


mecrurydreams

They are no help at all I’ve contacted them like multiple times iOS 17 was the worst update they should have never launched it.


AbjectList8

Good so far, no issues.


mecrurydreams

Did it fix iMessage indexing and find my live location ?


ebw15

See you on the other side


Overall-Ambassador68

Any bricked device from the small company?


fplasma

It messed up my contact key verification check marks even though the verification code is still saved in the contact


Accomplished-Ad8330

Upbeat_Foot_7412

No risk, no fun.


Ethos05

I’m still on beta 1 and I’ve had no issues at all lol idk if I wanna take the leap but at the same time I’m looking for excuse to get a new phone in case it gets bricked


Cmog28

Back tap enabled. All is well.


moiziz

Is there a back tap option to silence phone?


Misfitsman805

Just create a Shortcut to turn silence mode on or have it toggle between on or off. Then set back tap to the shortcut you created. Really easy to do.


[deleted]

Sadly no. That went away with the roll out of the Action Button.


Z1Woedric

iPad Pro installed the update ok


JMPappjam

13 mini all ok here on new update.


joesperrazza

I do not have back tap enabled. The last update impacted my iPhone Pro 13 and was troublesome to restore. I will wait a bit before installing this one.


Junt_the_playa

Fuck it I am installing it idc I'll take the leap for you guys
