A week after iOS 17 was released, Apple released the first beta version of iOS 17.1, iOS 17.1 Beta 1, followed by a series of beta versions with many interesting features. These features include:

On iOS 17.1 Beta, users can customize playlists in Apple Music with 1 of 8 art styles (including gradients and abstract shapes). At the same time, the Favorited Music feature will help users simplify the task of liking a song or artist right from the lock screen.

One of Apple's exclusive features is AirDrop, which allows users to transfer data via 3G/4G/5G and wifi. Therefore, this feature no longer depends on the AirDrop operating area, supporting users in the most effective way.

With watchOS 10.1 and iOS 17.1 Beta, Apple Watch and iPhone can now be used to exchange contact information via the NameDrop feature.

In addition, iOS 17.1 Beta also brings some notable new features such as: Flashlight indicator in Dynamic Island, support for Game controllers; expanding wallpapers,... as well as improving some errors related to maximum charging of only 80%, errors in searching for messages.
