Yesterday Apple released the first beta of iOS 17.1.

Just a few days after the release of iOS 17, people in Cupertino are already back at the coding computers and working on a new version. And it even brings some new features.

Favorites in Apple Music

In Apple Music It is possible to set favorites. These are then used by the algorithm to make better suggestions for broadcasters in the future. And also AirDrop was improved.

From now on, AirDrop transfers can also be carried out via mobile phone providers. And that too NameDrop-Feature that allows contact information to be shared between devices is now available.

No sign of the journal app

Interestingly, the new ringtones that Apple released in iOS 17 have disappeared in iOS 17.1. They will probably appear again in the next beta. What is still not there is the new one journal-Digital diary app. iOS 17.1 supports the N64 Switch controller for games and has a new dynamic Flashlightsicon received.

Finally, there are other little things:

  • Wallpapers can now be expanded to fit the screen width if they don’t fit
  • The Wallet app now supports bank accounts with balances in the UK
