I might put it on my iPad but I'm holding off on my iPhone. It's still early.
Got a tip for us?

Apple Releases First Public Betas of iOS 17 and iPadOS 17

The only issue I have had is the keyboard disappearing within apps occasionally
Based on the recent history of Apple's shoddy upgrades, not only one would be wise to refrain from using betas but also stay away first two updates (17.1.1 and 17.1.2). 17.2 is guaranteed to be a killer OS. But if you like me, you just go ahead and put your entire Apple fleet of devices in danger of bonk-bonk...
You don't usually it's the same build.
With Name Drop, can you control what types of contact information gets shared? As in phone number only, or phone + work email, etc.?
so if i have the dev beta 3 i cant get public beta is that correct? and will i be able to get piblic beta 2? and will I eventually be able to get ios 17 full release? im sorry im new to this beta and i by accident got this dev beta on my phone so i dont know what to do
Usually the dev beta build is released first, a day later that same beta build is released to PB testers.

Well you know for sure I won’t be testing any of these. I haven’t even upgraded to iOS 16 yet. 😄
oh ok. but moving forward I will be able to get next public beta and eventually the ios 17 full release in september? also im curious what this public beta build number is?
If it’s the same build number then you don’t see an update.
The dev beta gets released first. Then a week later the same gets released as a public beta. So if you don’t see an update while on dev beta then that’s the latest build. Public beta will never be ahead of dev beta.

Yes that is how it usually progresses.
- iOS 17 beta 3 (21A5277j) - July 11, 2023
- iPadOS 17 beta 3 (21A5277j) - July 11, 2023
- macOS 14 beta 3 (23A5286i) - July 11, 2023
- tvOS 17 beta 3 (21J5303h) = July 11, 2023
Now that I have a work phone, my main phone can run beta without issue.
Work phone Android though. Sigh. And not a good one. Galaxy A54. 😢

Taylor swift concert is coming up! No way I’m risking the public beta on my phone until after it ends. Cannot risk not getting in!
All I can say is mail is working for me.
About time! This is the first time I'm gonna opt into the iOS Beta, just for Live Voicemail, or by it's actual name: CALL SCREENING
This update essentially brings back the Answering Machine, a device sorely missed from a long time ago.

I wouldn’t suggest AW just yet. I heard of people having issues with watchOS 10. iOS otoh seems pretty stable for a b3 with practically no issues at all at least for me.
As always be sure to do an encrypted backup and archive before you update.
While I don’t think we need to be salty with each other, lots of beta related questions are answered by Apple themselves on the beta website. Betas are fun and unlikely to have severe issues that make your device unrecoverable but if you don’t take a look first how are you going to hop onto the forums to ask how to DFU restore if you’re phone is dead?
Yes, I have it installed. So far, all is good.
Be careful your phone may not like it and the lens may break. lol.
Even iOS 16.5 gives me heat problems when connected via USB to carplay and routing. Even if I cover the phone to ensure it isn’t in the sun, it gets pretty warm.
