Everything you need to know about Apple’s release of iOS 17.2 beta 3 for iPhones

Apple has released the third developer beta of iOS 17.2, just a week after the rollout of iOS 17.2 beta 2. Since the launch of iOS 17 in September, the Cupertino-based company has been working to address bugs and glitches in the system, while also adding new features such as the Journal app. It is important to note that only the third developer beta has been released, and the iOS 17.2 update is not yet available to the public. However, registered developers can now access the latest beta update.

The iOS 17.2 beta 3 update introduces several improvements, including the ability to add songs to the music library in Apple Music when they are marked as favorites. Additionally, users can disable inline predictions in the keyboard settings, and FaceTime will now display a warning when joining a call with a person who is on the blocked list. The Photos app now seeks permission to access the music library and can curate songs to create memories.

To access the iOS 17.2 beta 3 update, developers can sign up for the Apple Developer program for free this year, eliminating the previous $99 annual fee. Once registered, developers can visit the Apple Developer site, log in with their Apple ID, and agree to any terms and conditions. The iOS 17 beta download should then be available for installation on the iPhone under Settings, General, and Software Update. It’s important to note that this early release may have occasional slowdowns and crashes, so proceed with caution.
