iOS 17.2 beta cycle is at full speed as Apple seeds the RC version of this upcoming operating system update. Unlike iOS 17.1‚ Cupertino is readying several features to iPhone users. Here’s what’s available with this version so far: With beta 2‚ Apple added Spatial Video recording‚ an exclusive feature for iPhone 15 Pro owners who will be able to watch these videos on the Apple Vision Pro in early 2024. With beta 4‚ unfortunately‚ Apple removed the Apple Music Collaborative playlist feature‚ which we still have to discover if it has been added back with beta 5. Here’s what else we know about the iOS 17.2 beta cycle. Journal app: Apple is finally making available the Journal app. Using on-device machine learning‚ it displays personalized suggestions that can inspire a user’s journal entry. Apple says that suggestions are intelligently curated from recent activity‚ including photos‚ people‚ places‚ workouts‚ and more‚ making it easy to start a journal entry‚ and scheduled notifications can help build a journaling habit. Apple Fitness+ Audio Focus: It gives users the ability to prioritize the volume of the music or the trainers’ voices during an Apple Fitness+ workout. Turn off Listening History on Apple Music: iOS 17.2 brings a Focus Filter‚ which lets you turn off the Listening History feature. Favorite Apple Music Playlist: After iOS 17.1 added the ability to favorite songs‚ Apple created a Favorite Playlist with all your songs. iPhone 15 Pro Max Action Button Image source: Christian de Looper for BGR Action Button tweaks: Apple has added a Translate button as a new option for the iPhone 15 Pro’s Action Button. iMessage Contact Key Verification: Contact key verification allows you to manually verify who you are messaging with by comparing contact verification codes in person or over the phone. Conversations with people who have contact key verification turned on also receive automatic advanced protections to help prevent even very sophisticated attackers from impersonating anyone in a conversation. React to a message with any sticker: With iOS 17.2‚ you can react with any sticker or memoji to a message. Just long-press a text‚ select Add Sticker‚ and choose one. Catch-up arrow: A catch-up arrow is again available in the Messages app so you can easily go to the last message you saw; If we learn about new features being added to iOS 17.2 RC‚ we will make sure to update our article with all the new features of this operating system update.

With tvOS 17.2 RC‚ Apple is finally killing the iTunes Movies app. This change comes after the company started testing a revamped TV app early last month. When you open the iTunes Movies app‚ Apple TV users are greeted with a new screen that tells them‚ "iTunes Movies and Your Purchases Have Moved." With that‚ users can go to the store or see their purchases by returning to the TV app. This movement was already expected. Before tvOS 17.2 beta 1‚ Bloomberg reported Apple was planning a major overhaul to its TV app‚ which would ultimately include killing the iTunes Movies app and focusing everything on the Apple TV brand instead. On the TV app on tvOS 17.2‚ Apple has a new sidebar menu showing everything related to Apple‚ such as TV+‚ MLS Season Pass‚ Store‚ and Library‚ in addition to the user’s channels and apps. When selecting the Apple TV+ section‚ you’ll discover everything related to Apple’s own streaming service. For the Library‚ for example‚ you’ll get all the movies you have purchased and the same filters as before‚ such as “4K HDR‚” genres‚ and more. What’s interesting with this change is that you can now quickly access channels and apps. Previously‚ you could find TV shows and movies from third-party apps‚ but this is the first time Apple has made it so much easier to discover everything users are watching on other platforms. With tvOS 17.2 beta‚ you still get a similar interface for the Store section on the Apple TV app. You can find the Top Movies Chart‚ options rated by genre and purchases‚ and more. With the iTunes Movies now being phased out‚ Apple is slowly but steadily killing its once notorious iTunes brand. We'll let you know if we discover anything new in the latest Release Candidate versions.
