Before getting fully into this article, I would like to remind you what are the compatible devices of this generation. Specifically, from the iPhone XS onwards, all iPhones support iOS 17, although not all have access to all the new features of iOS. The iPhone X and iPhone 8 are left out of this update, marking the end of an era.
General characteristics of this new beta
The fifth developer beta has as its main objective refine, optimize and improve the performance of this generation with the aim of preparing this software for its official launch in September.
Said beta, has a cbuilding code 21A5303D, which replaces the fourth beta whose code is 21A5291H. The weight of the update is small, although the latter may vary depending on the device you have.
News of this beta
One of the most noticeable changes from beta 4 is the smoothness that we find between the transitions of the iOS interface. Above all, it is noticeable when we open native applications such as Apple Music.
Another notable novelty is the Spotlight animation improvement. It now looks much better visually and when you drop down from the top of the screen.
The health apphas improved considerably, carrying a stream of improvements in each beta of iOS 17. In this fifth beta, a new graphic appears at the top of the category state of mind. It is important to remember that this category is completely new for iOS 17, so it is normal that there are new features in each of the betas.
Fifth, the messaging app It comes with new features such as Check In, the new security feature that allows you to send a message to a friend or loved one so that, in the event that you do not arrive at your destination, they can receive a notification so that you can take the appropriate measures.
Finally, a minor novelty from the ISO 17 beta takes place in the cI enter remote control, where if you click on it, we can see an emergency window with the monitoring of our Siri Remote. That said, even though Apple has hinted at this new functionality, I don’t think it will be available in September.
News in Settings
In settings, you can now determine what information it is shared when you select information. You can select the full and limited options. This feature, Limited, will show the location, phone signal, and battery life of the device, among other features.
