I just learned that Siri can read SMS messages written in other languages, when enabled in Settings.

It’s about time! This has been a big pain point of mine for over 5 years!

I installed the new beta earlier this afternoon just before my 2 PM meeting. I’m not experiencing any issues to this point.

iMessage stickers is messed up in this build. They don't show. It's just a blank area. They work, but you have to guess where to tap. The user created stickers are not affected. You can see I chose the cow. But nothing.

Beta 1 has been re-released. I wonder why…..

 

[Annie_M]

Could this release be a release for the public? I think the release last week for a "Developer Release"?

The public beta was released but the dev beta was also re-released. I guess it was actually an update because it was less than 500 MB. I guess just tweaking a few things the stoners screwed up the first time.

It could be a very bad bug they found with the upgrade process to 17.4b2.

Or just extended the expiration date on the version because they realized they might not be able to ship a new one in time.

Only Apple knows.

The stickers I created last summer are displayed therein.

Yes, the ones we create show fine. It's all the others. The memoji don't show, as well as everything else. And the 30th update didn't fix it.

Oh okay. I understand. Thanks for the follow-up sir.

Battery life seems to be really good on the re-released version.
