iOS17/iPadOS17 developer preview version Beta5 launched: improvements to various functions

Apple has released the iOS 17/iPadOS 17 Developer Preview Beta 5 update with version number 21A5303d. This new version mainly improves and optimizes existing functions and applications without adding new functions.

In iOS 17/iPadOS 17 Beta 5, there are some important updates to note. These updates include:

Live Wallpapers

Live photo wallpapers have returned and you can set them in settings. Once set up, supported Live Photos will start playing when your phone's screen lights up. In this way, you can enjoy different live photos every time you use your phone, giving you a more colorful visual experience. Whether it is a beautiful scenery photo, a cute animal photo or a wonderful character photo, it can become a beautiful scenery on your mobile phone screen. Not only that, live photo wallpapers can also make your phone more personalized and show your unique taste and style. Come and try it out and give your phone a new lease of life!

App Store English all-capitalization changed to uppercase and lowercase

Apple has updated the English descriptions of buttons on the App Store. Among them, button icons including "Get", "Open" and "Update" are now in uppercase and lowercase format. This change provides users with a clearer and consistent interface experience. Whether it’s getting a new app, opening an installed app, or updating an app, users can now find the corresponding button more easily. This update will further improve the convenience and comfort of users using the App Store.

Live Voicemail

By using the Live Voicemail function, callers can talk to the phone owner after a short wait.

Apple has modified the previous wording "the person you're calling may pick up" (the person you are calling may pick up the call) reminder. The latest description is:

Sorry, your call could not be connected and has been forwarded to voicemail. Please leave your message after hearing the prompt tone, and the owner will receive your message in the form of a recording. After leaving the message, you can hang up the phone.

Emotion Tracking

In order to improve user experience, Apple is constantly improving the emotion recording function in its Health app and optimizing the user interface. In the latest update, they introduced a brand new graphic for entering the emotion tracking interface. This improvement is designed to make it easier for users to record and track their emotional states. Whether by clicking on graphics or other operations, users can easily enter the emotion tracking interface and understand and manage their emotions more intuitively. This improvement further demonstrates Apple’s continued focus and investment in health and user experience.

Apple has also tweaked the details, using different graphics and colors to represent each emotion.

Fixed Private Browsing Mode

The latest version of Safari browser adds a startup screen and allows users to turn on the private browsing function. Once you have installed iOS 17, the first time you open a private browser window, a window will pop up asking you if you want to enable the setting.

Turn on Locked Private Browsing to lock the browser when you leave Safari or lock your phone, then accessing Private Browser requires authentication with Face ID, Touch ID, or a password.

Locate the Siri Remote

When the user opens the Control Center and clicks the Remote app, a new window will pop up asking the user to use the iPhone to track and control the Siri Remote for Apple TV. .

It was just tested by foreign technology media MacRumors and found that this function has not yet taken effect.

Shortcuts

Apple has revamped the icons used by Safari in the Shortcuts app to make the function of each action more obvious.

Apple previously used Safari icons to display all content, but now options like searching the web, opening URLs, and filtering articles have more specific icons.

Messages Check In

Apple has improved the appearance of the Messages Check In sample screen so you can see the difference between sharing limited data and sharing complete data. This settings screen now displays battery level and iPhone unlock information, which is sent along with the location.

Apple has also updated its wording to make it clear that information will only be shared if there is no response to Check In when prompted.

Currently, we still do not recommend upgrading the main machine to the iOS17 beta version. Although the overall stability has improved in Beta 4 compared to the first three beta versions, there are still problems with lags, signal bar disappearance and APP crashes. Therefore, we recommend that you don't risk trying this beta just yet.
