The iOS 17.3 Beta 1 update is already available to testers around the world, and it brings some new features. This beta version of the iPhone’s operating system is in the pipeline to become a stable update for everyday iPhone users. Apple hopes the feedback from beta testers of this new update to effect necessary changes to the system, hence making it fit for regular usage.
Beta testers are now revealing the new features that this update brings, as it’ll soon be available to regular users. Regardless of the buggy experience that these beta updates can bring, users are still trying out the new features and sharing their experiences. Two new features are available in this beta update, and here’s everything you need to know about them.
The first new feature is the stolen device protection feature, which helps protect user’s data on their device. This extra layer of protection will require Face ID to give users access to their saved password. So, in the event of a user’s iPhone being stolen, the thieves will not be able to access all saved passwords even if they breach the device lock code.
Apple Music collaborative playlists are the next new feature that the iOS 17.3 Beta 1 update brings. This feature has been available on previous beta updates but never made it to a stable release, and now it’s back again on the latest beta update. With this feature, multiple users will be able to create, edit, and control a shared playlist of songs on the Apple Music app.
Beta testers are now testing out these new features that will soon become available for regular users. Once the beta testing is over, iOS 17.3 will roll out via a stable upgrade to users all over the world. After downloading and installing the update, users will get access to these two features and other upgrades as well.
