Everything New in iOS 17.1 Beta 1

[FindingAvalon]

But how will Apple make money off that? Have you not thought about this?

It’s called “value add”.

flashlight indicator was on 17.0 on the 15

How about letting me create my own ringing tones.

Not obvious but GarageBand is one way to do that. It’s one of the options when sharing a song from the app.

 

[Darth-Kylie]

You’ve been able to create your own tones for years. Apple doesn’t provide the app to do it on the phone, that’s all.

It does. GarageBand.

When you’re creating a playlist on Apple Music it now suggest new poster covers on iOS 17.1

About time Apple Music gets a feature that Pandora had since day 1. Maybe in another 7 years, they will add the dislike feature that will automatically skip the song that was disliked.

I used that command on Apple TV a few days ago. The situation was that Silly (you can call it that way, it works) played a ridiculously bad song because it misunderstood a command.

To avoid hearing the song again, I told Silly to dislike the song, and heck... it worked!

Dunno if Silly also does so on the iPhone. I'd reckon so...

On another note: when we played around with Silly on the same Apple TV, we asked her to switch off the banana. Result was: she switched off the ceiling lamp. Then my son was like: Silly, switch off the pineapple. Oh behold, Silly as it was, it switched it off and on.

Still Silly after all those years...

Actually they do. I’ve done ringtones in GarageBand before. Granted on my desktop not on the phone.

Books App

The "Reading Now" section in the Apple Books app has been renamed to "Read Now."

Such a small change, yet the two phrases have entirely different meanings.

Finally! When I switched from Spotify to Apple Music almost 2 years ago I really did miss the playlist suggestions. Apple really is taking a cue from Spotify!

Apple Music really is comically bad to use.

A bit like AirPower I think the Journal app will be quietly forgotten

Huh? Why in the world would they face engineering problems with the Journal app and bury the project? 🧐

I agree, kind of an odd take here. iOS 17 has only been out a week and 17.1 just went into beta. Why would anyone be worrying about the journal app?

Why would anyone change love to favorites? What a complete waste of time & resources

 

[JuanArreguin]

All of the new Ringtones are GONE! 😭

 

[Jt69yupper]

It does. GarageBand.

You can not change stock notification tone
Only text,phone,etc

 

[matrix07]

How about DayOne or Stoic. Both subscription based, but both really well worth it.

You've already answered your own question.

 

[DDustiNN]

I don't want to add favorites to the library. It should have been in a different playlist. Now when I download 17.1 it sounds like I have to clean up the entire Library and start over. What was apple thinking there.

Why would your favorite songs not be in your library? 🤔

Why do they need to be. There's no rule saying they need to be.

I really wish ALL notifications would come from the island.

This was discovered by this dude on iOS 17.02.

You always have been able to

 

[Böhme417]

Yikes. An h build makes me think we'll be lucky to see this by the end of October.

 

[alexandr]

Thank god... I thought they were going to be desperate enough to make the flashlight indicator a 15 series-only feature)

Favoriting replaces the prior "Love" system and favoriting can be done from the Lock Screen's Now Playing widget.

Okay call me weird, but this is a huge deal to me. Asking Siri to "love this song" has given me the creeps every time I have had to say it while driving. It was always frustrating to me that I couldn't add a song to my library or "love" it directly from the Home Screen either. Glad to see improvement is on the way!

 

[wallaby]

I like the new tones better. The old notification is so jarring. The new tones are less obnoxious.Please bring them back Apple.

The new tones have been a welcome surprise!

 

[unobtainium]

Can’t really see how they would improve on a journaling app like Day One so I don’t see the point. I think this is one of those features best left to third party devs.
