New features and changes[edit | edit source]

Stolen Device Protection[edit | edit source]

This build introduces the Stolen Device Protection feature, which provides an additional layer of security in the event someone steals the user's iPhone and knows their passcode.[3] With it enabled, certain actions such as changing the user's Apple ID password, viewing a virtual Apple Card in the Wallet app, and erasing all content and settings will require authentication via Face ID or Touch ID.

Apple Music Collaborative Playlists[edit | edit source]

The Collaborative Playlists feature in Apple Music has been re-added after being removed in iOS 17.2 Beta 4. It is a more refined version that now includes animated emoji reactions.[4]

Miscellaneous[edit | edit source]

  • Wording for the Spatial Video splash screen in the Camera app has been updated.
  • Game Center will no longer function if Lockdown Mode is enabled.
