What’s everyone’s thoughts on the 17 beta? It’s been super stable for me and it’s feeling polished already. For me I think the new standby mode while charging is the best new feature in a long tone. Makes this device more useful even when you’re not using it, smart stuff.

    The autocorrect/keyboard updates have been great!

    The UI changes in Messages are awesome! I love finally being able to name non-iMessage group messages. I wish the ability to tap-back with stickers was a thing at this point.

    Car Play updates are subtle, but nice overall. I wish I had another device with the beta to test out the Share Play feature because it seems pretty straightforward.

    Not too many other noticeable/memorable changes though. I’ve been using it since β1, and the current version does feel the most stable so far.

      I didn’t notice a massive difference in the keyboard yet. I usually swipe instead of type so I don’t seem to get any of those word predictions

      I also love the new iMessage! Finally can swipe to reply a message!

      I have also turned on the function to remind you that your phone is too close. Although it is quite annoying as I do hold it quite close, it serves as a good reminder that I need to pull my phone a bit away from me and my eyes do feel less tired!
