Recently, Apple rolled out the official iOS 17 update and the users are enjoying the new features. The great thing about this OEM is that it doesn’t rest on its laurels, and this habit has helped it become the pinnacle of smartphone firmware.
This is evident by the fact that Apple has started out the beta testing for the next update. Apple has rolled out the iOS 17.1 Beta 2 update for Developers and it will be available to Public Beta testers soon.
The iOS 17 update came out a couple of weeks ago and it was followed by multiple subsequent updates to address security vulnerabilities and crucial bugs. Last week, testing started for iOS 17.1, which will be the first significant update after iOS 17.
Changelog for the new iOS update
The new iOS 17.1 Beta 2 update for Developers comes with the build number 21B5056e, suggesting that there are a few beta updates left before the public release. This build number is the same for iPadOS 17.1 Beta 2. As the iOS 17.1 Beta 2 update has only been released for the select regions, all the changes aren’t clear yet. Here are some of the primary changes that come along with the new iOS 17.1 Beta 2 update.
- A new modem update
- New ringtones have been added back again
- New options in Standby settings of iPhones with AOD support
- When you access Reachability, the background will now be black instead of device wallpaper for giving a distraction-free view
How to download and install the iOS 17.1 Beta 2 update?
