Apple’s iOS 17.1 just arrived yesterday and, while it added some decent features for AirDrop, Apple Music and StandBy, it wasn’t as much of a newsworthy upgrade.
Now, you may be wondering… What’s new and what’s not?
However, the first beta of Apple iOS 17.2 sent out to developers today, includes more exciting things in the feature levels. You can add details, music and audio recordings to photos, while entries may be revisited to add new insight or to check on the progress made regarding goals.
Now, your iPhone can create personalized suggestions of moments to remember and write about based on information like your photos, location, music, workouts, and more—all using on-device machine learning. The company has mentioned this as well.
However, let’s just take a few of the differences in-between the two software. Let’s start with the beta edition of 17.2 first.

Elsewhere within the iOS 17.2 beta, Apple is finally adding collaborative Apple Music playlists as well as a Favorites playlist as standard.
The beta also includes a Contact Key Verification feature for iMessage that gives users piece of mind over who they’re messaging with.
