I've been having an issue for weeks now where, in the Mail app, if I went to move a message to a folder, the usual suggested folder wouldn't show (ie, Mail should suggest an email from Wells Fargo be moved to my Wells Fargo folder, but didn’t)... but that issue's FINALLY been resolved 🎉🎉🎉

It's amazing how there can be a new video for each update, where there really isn't anything new or interesting to say!
He has it’s basic style for all of the videos. Basic capturing of these updates.
To say that there isn’t anything new is not true. There is this new feature for Airdrop and some significant bugfixes. If it’s necessary to watch a 13 min video about it, it’s up to everyone’s own opinion.
You are a free person, no one treats you to watch all of his videos.
It's having long videos for x.x.x. releases and such that seem kinda redundant. I like his style and he's very engaging, but most of his videos are full of filler and repetitive content. As you said, I choose to watch the videos of his that are worth watching.
Plugged my phone in my car and opened the Music app and it shows nothing! No music or anything playing or anything. I tried grabbing a couple screenshots but driving. Got this one, though-
At some point everything populated after maybe 4-5 minutes, but initially there was nothing. Artists were still listed but wasn’t able to select any of them. The Albums section was blank. Songs was blank. I messaged my wife (still on 17.0.something) and she said everything was fine. That’s when I noticed things were “fine” on my end. Very scary!

How was battery life on your watch beofre 10.1? I'm iphone 15 pro and watch and i've gone from getting well past midnight on watch battery to completely flat by 8-830pm. Its crazy. I've unpaired watch twice but still terrible.
New ringtones are there and they seem to be at least a little bit louder than before.
When will collaborative playlists be available?
Apple today seeded the release candidate versions of iOS 17.1 and iPadOS 17.1 to developers and public beta testers for testing purposes, with the betas coming one week after Apple released the third betas of iOS 17.1 and iPadOS 17.1.
Registered developers are able to opt into the betas by opening up the Settings app, going to the Software Update section, tapping on the "Beta Updates" option, and toggling on the iOS 17 or iPadOS 17 Developer Beta. An Apple ID associated with a developer account is required to download and install the beta. Public beta testers will need to follow the same steps after opting in to the beta through Apple's public beta testing website.
iOS 17.1 adds the option to favorite songs, albums, playlists, artists, and more, with favorited content added to the Library and used for suggestions. Favoriting can be done from the Lock Screen using the Now Playing widget, plus when starting a playlist, you'll now see Song Suggestions.
AirDrop transfers can be finished over the internet so close proximity does not need to be maintained, and an Apple Watch running watchOS 10.1 can now use NameDrop with an iPhone running iOS 17.1. On the iPhone 15 Pro, iOS 17.1 ensures you won't activate the Camera or Flashlight in your pocket.
Other new features include a flashlight indicator in the Dynamic Island for non iPhone 15 Pro models, and a Wallet feature that lets U.S. Discover card users and those in the UK connect their banks to see balances and transactions. Apple's release notes for the update are below:
On the iPad, the update also adds support for the new USB-C Apple Pencil.
More information on some of the unmentioned features in iOS 17.1 can be found in our available in our iOS 17.1 features article.

You need to nuke your home setup and start from scratch unfortunately. It's been the case for many.
The whole iOS 17.0 / macOS 14.0 / watchOS 10.0 experience has been very buggy for me. Apple continues to let down by focusing on insignificant features instead of improvements and stability. By the time the bugs are fixed the new wave of OS's in beta will be released to the public.
What actually worked, or worked 99%, just to update:
So, the new OS made no difference. I decided then to reset the wemos from the mains. Then was able to add them to my existing home setup. It's not as stable or fast as before tho. So gonna wait see what happens after the HomePods update. If that doesn't get everything back to standard, I will reset the home setup.
