Apple Developer Program members already have access to the developer beta of iOS 17 using a limited list of iPhone models. If you are planning to test the update soon, you might want to pause first and read these bugs currently being experienced by testers.
The iOS 17 stable release is expected to arrive in September, but Apple has to first try the update with testers. Unfortunately, test like this usually include issues that Apple has to fix before rolling out the final version of the iOS update. Current developers from different forums confirm that many problems are now affecting iOS 17 beta, ranging from battery and keyboard issues to app crashes and more.
Here is a list of the bugs you can expect from iOS 17 if you’re planning to try it out in the coming days:
- Media not showing up (e.g., sending video or image via Discord)
- Settings app and other apps crashing or freezing
- The keyboard fails to minimize (and malfunctions) in some apps or fails to launch at all (relaunching the app reportedly resolves the issue temporarily)
- iPhone device excessively heating up, especially when charging
- Excessive battery usage
- A bug causing a huge decrease in storage

- Dual SIM iPhone models sometimes use the wrong line even when the device is using a default line for calls
