The update –

What’s new?

Messages App

In the Messages app, you can now long press on the “+” button to bring up the photo picker rather than tapping and having to choose the Photos option from the list.

Phone App

In an earlier beta, Apple moved the red end call button in the Phone app from the bottom middle of the interface to the bottom right. Given that people are so used to tapping in the middle, this was not a popular change.

In beta 6, Apple moved the end call button back to the middle, returning it to where it is located in iOS 16 and earlier.

Mood Tracking

Apple has further tweaked the animations that are used for the moods in the mood tracking feature. The rings around each mood now animate quicker around each shape, and there are more rings.

Photos Splash Screen

There’s a new splash screen when you first open the ‌Photos‌ app, and it lets you know about the new features.

Display & Brightness

In the Display & Brightness section of the Settings app, the wallpaper icon has been updated to an ‌iOS 17‌ wallpaper.

Other changes –

• Apparently, in iOS 17 Beta 6, when you switch to silent mode the haptic is no longer present.
• There are some splash screens for photos and health

Future Software –

• iOS 17 Beta 7: Expect iOS 17 Beta 7 on August 22nd since we have shifted to a weekly release schedule
