Apple iOS 17.2 Beta 4 new features
Here is what awaits you with the new update!
Default Notification Sound
Now, you can change your phone’s sound when you get notifications. Go to Sounds & Haptics, find “Default Alerts,” and pick the sound you like. You can even change how your phone vibrates for these notifications.
Collaborative Apple Music Playlists
Remember making playlists with friends? Well, it seems like Apple might be changing its mind about this feature. In the fourth beta, it looks like they took it out. We’ll have to wait and see if it makes it to the final version.
AppleCare & Warranty Settings
This is a small but important change. They renamed the “Coverage” section to “AppleCare & Warranty” in your settings. It gives you all the info about AppleCare for your iPhone and other devices.
Recording to an External Device
If you have an iPhone 15 Pro, you can now record fancy videos directly to an external device. But watch out – if your USB-C cable is too slow, a pop-up message will let you know external recording won’t work well.
iTunes Evolution
Big change here – Apple is planning to stop you from buying or renting TV shows and movies in the iTunes app. In the future, you’ll do it in the TV app. They’ve put it in the code, but it’s not happening just yet.
In a nutshell, iOS 17.2 Beta 4 is bringing some cool stuff to your iPhone and iPad. Apple wants to make things better and more fun for users. Keep an eye out for the official release in December – it could set new standards for how our phones work!
