Apple releases iOS 17 Beta 3: Everything that is new

Here’s all changes that come with the latest developer beta of iOS 17

The iOS 17 beta 3 update makes changes in the Recently Deleted album. Instead of separate Delete and Recover buttons, the folder will now have a small three-dot icon at the bottom of the screen to bring up the recover and delete options.

In case no image is selected, options available on the right are Delete All and Recover All. Once a user selects one or more than one image in the album, an option to recover or delete specific images automatically appears on the screen. Similarly, if you are deleting or recovering images of a person, you can choose the “Feature This Person Less” option.

Apple iOS 17 beta 3 also brings design refinements to the Mental Wellbeing section of the Health app. The app now has a more streamlined look and color scheme to match mood choice. For example, very unpleasant is a lighter purple with more blue and less red, neutral is more of a blue green shade than before. Similarly, slightly pleasant is a brighter green with more yellow.

Further, the latest update also adds an option to turn on reminders to log moods on a scheduled basis. Times include in the middle of the day and at the end of the day, with a customized schedule available.

To the Apple Music app, iOS 17 beta 2 brings an option to view song credits by tapping on the three-dot icon next to a song that is playing, searched for, or in a playlist. Credits will show all of the performing artists, composition artists, and those who were involved in production and engineering. There is also a section to house the full lyrics along with information on the audio quality available such as Lossless or Dolby Atmos.

Another change coming with iOS 17 Beta 3 is the addition of a splash screen to show what’s new with the Home app. There are now pre-selected options at the bottom of the interface for lights that support multiple colors and tones. The color options also show up in the Control Center when accessing a specific light.
