We saw the first glimpse of the iOS 17 at the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), and there were quite a few big new features that Apple promised to add to the next iterative software update for iPhones. Just a week after the event, the first beta of the update rolled out for developers, but not all of the features were added back then. Now yesterday, June 21, Apple released the iOS 17 beta 2 update which has received more new features. Let us take a look.

Before we dive into the new features, do remember that this is a developer beta, meaning that it is only available for developers to test out their apps and optimize them by using the new features. The first public beta is not likely to be released till mid-July. At this moment, there is no information available on an expected release date for it.
