Apple Seeds Fourth Betas of iOS 17.6 and iPadOS 17.6 to Developers [Update: Public Beta Available]

by

Apple today seeded the fourth betas of upcoming iOS 17.6 and iPadOS 17.6 updates to developers for testing purposes, with software coming a week after the third iOS and iPadOS 17.6 betas were released.

iOS 17
Registered developers are able to opt into the betas 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 Developer Beta. An Apple ID associated with a developer account is required to download and install the beta.

The features Apple promised for iOS 17 have all been implemented, so it is not clear what will be included in iOS 17.6, and no major new additions have been discovered in the betas so far.

With Apple focusing on iOS 18, it is likely that iOS 17.6 will include bug fixes and other under-the-hood improvements.

but have you seen what the iPhone 16 is gonna do? 🤣 they're hoping you'll upgrade.
This is by far the worst ios 17 build so far. Except for the beta that bricked my iPhone. But this is terrible.

This build is not working well on my 13 Pro Max. Very laggy. Not happy.

17.6 is smooth as silk here (iPhone 15 Pro). Any showstoppers for iOS18? Like apps that don't work?
Have a look at this thread for any apps you might need to work.

As we wind up 17.6 which is almost there and 18.x is now PB now this question will be asked a lot.

I’ve already moved on to iOS 18 beta. It’s been solid thus far. Much more than iOS 17.5.1 was for me.
