ios 17.The official version of 2 has just been released, bringing many new features, such as a new native app-note app, a new translation function for action buttons, the ability to modify the default notification ringtone, etc., as well as a focus on fixing some system bugs. And immediately after that, Apple suddenly pushed iOS 17The first beta update for 3 with build number 21D5026F.
After actual experience and feedback from netizens, iOS 173 Beta 1 doesn't have many changes, but it mainly includes three aspects: stolen device protection (security), default notification ringtones, and Apple Music. Next, I would like to give you a brief introduction.
The first is the default notification ringtone, iOS 172 just supported modifying the default notification tone, returning to the classic tritoneal notification sound, and the result is in iOS 173 Beta 1 was removed again. Currently speculated to be a bug issue, as there are two ** and one cannot be selected. Hopefully it will be fixed in the next big beta update.
The second is Apple Music, which adds the ability to share lists, which allows others to edit lists together. This feature is available in iOS 172 It was in early beta and was removed in beta 4, and now it's back.
However, it should be noted that due to the removal of social features from Apple Music in China, the shared list cannot be used for Apple IDs in China. It is also worth noting that Apple Music members in the country will usher in**, of which individual and student subscriptions***1 yuan, and family subscriptions** 2 yuan.
Finally, there is the Stolen Device Protection feature, which is also this time with iOS 173 Beta 1 The most important upgrade. In the settings, click on the Face ID & Passcode option to see the new Stolen Device Protection feature.
When your iPhone is stolen in a place you don't frequent, you need to authenticate with Face ID or Touch ID if they perform sensitive operations, such as checking your keychain password, resetting your iPhone, turning off Lost Mode, and more.
If the other person performs more sensitive actions, such as changing their Apple ID password, changing their iPhone password, adding or removing Face ID or Touch ID, turning off Find My, turning off Stolen Device Protection, and more, it will take up to 1 hour after they verify their identity with Face ID or Touch ID.
To put it simply, the Stolen Device Protection feature is a useful feature designed to prevent thieves from stealing your digital information. If you have already upgraded to iOS 173 beta 1 version, it is recommended to enable this feature. Of course, I still hope that you will never need it.
As is customary, Apple usually doesn't release updates around Christmas and New Year's Day, so iOS 173 Beta 2 may take a long time to be released. So, what features would you like to see added in the next update?
