Apple is currently beta testing iOS 17.2, the second major update to the iOS 17 operating system that came out in September 2023.

The update includes many new features and changes, including Apple's new Journal app, support for spatial video recording on iPhone 15 Pro models, and a Translate option for the Action button on iPhone 15 Pro models.

Apple is also adding several new functions to existing apps and services, such as the ability for Apple Music subscribers to collaborate on playlists, an iMessage Contact Key Verification security option for high-profile individuals, additional Weather and Clock widgets, and more.


iOS 17.2 has been in beta testing for over a month now, and it is expected to be released in mid-December. While a firm date has not been set by Apple, developers gained access to the beta release candidate on December 7, suggesting we will see the public release in the week beginning Monday, December 11.
