Apple Releases Third Public Beta of iOS 17.6

Apple today seeded the third betas of upcoming iOS 17.6 and iPadOS 17.6 updates to public beta testers, with the betas coming a week after the second iOS and iPadOS 17.6 public betas. Apple seeded the third betas of iOS 17.6 and iPadOS 17.6 to developers earlier this week.

iOS 17
Public beta testers can get the beta by opening up the Settings app, going to the Software Update section, tapping on the "Beta Updates" option, and toggling on the iOS 17 or iPadOS 17 Public Beta. Signing up on Apple's beta testing website is required.

The new features that Apple announced for iOS 17 have all been implemented at this point, so it is not clear what will be included in iOS 17.6, and no features have been discovered in the developer betas so far.

With Apple now shifting its focus to iOS 18, it is likely that iOS 17.6 will include bug fixes and other under-the-hood improvements rather than outward-facing features.

Apple has also seeded the second public betas of upcoming watchOS 10.6 and tvOS 17.6 updates.

Installing now. Been having awful battery drain on 17.5.1 on my 12Pro, hopefully this will fix it.

I so hope this will fix the Applet Wallet bug that keeps removing my store cards for no apparent reason.

I updated 2 days ago. Yesterday I used a timer. Now my Dynamic Island is showing the timer 0:00 is now stuck on the screen and won’t go away.
Do a restart
