Apple has already added the majority of the iOS 17 features that were unveiled during the WWDC event earlier this year. With just a few betas remaining before the official iOS 17 release, it’s unlikely that any new features will be introduced in remaining betas. Apple’s primary objective now is to ensure that iOS 17 is a seamless, bug-free update. And the strategy is reflecting in the latest beta.

The iOS 17 Beta 6 comes with tons of bug fixes in 79 different categories. So if you have been experiencing any issues on the iOS 17 beta, the new beta might fix it. However the long notification bug is still there. All resolved issue mentioned here.

Along with so many resolved issues Apple also tweaked some UI in different apps. The main change is the replacement of End button in phone call, the End Call button has been moved back to the middle.
