Apple is currently testing its upcoming iOS 17.4 update, with beta 4 being released for developers, featuring new features and fixes.
iOS 17.4 introduces personalized welcome screens, improved battery and settings options, and enhancements to CarPlay, among other updates.
Stolen device protection, alternative app marketplaces, Vision Pro compatibility, browser choice, and expanded payment options are also included.
iOS 17.4 includes minor adjustments like new names for home tabs, a wider address bar in Safari, and Siri shortcuts.
Seven new emoji, expanded family emoji variations, and multilingual messaging with Siri are part of iOS 17.4.
Users should be aware of potential bugs and glitches in beta versions and should backup their data before updating.
The final release of iOS 17.4 is expected in early March, with legal requirements in the EU mandating certain modifications to comply with the Digital Markets Act.
