📲 If you’re a registered developer, you can join the beta party by following these simple steps:
- Open up the Settings app on your iOS device or iPad.
- Go to the Software Update section. It’s like finding buried treasure, but instead of gold doubloons, you’ll find software updates.
- 🎉 Ta-da! There it is, the “Beta Updates” option. Tap on it with excitement coursing through your veins.
- Now, toggle on the iOS 17 or iPadOS 17 Developer Beta switch. This means you’re ready to rock and roll with the cool kids in the beta club. 🕺💃
Oh, and one small detail: make sure you have an Apple ID associated with a developer account. It’s kind of like the VIP pass that grants you access to download and install the beta updates.
Introducing Stolen Device Protection 🚨
🕵️♀️ Let’s face it, we live in a world filled with sneaky people who would love nothing more than to get their hands on your precious iPhone and your passcode. But fear not, for iOS 17.3 swoops in to save the day with its Stolen Device Protection feature! 🦸♂️
🔒 With Stolen Device Protection, your private information is safe and sound, even if a pesky thief gets their grubby hands on your iPhone and successfully unlocks it. This feature requires either Face ID or Touch ID verification to access important things like your passwords stored in iCloud Keychain, turning off Lost Mode, making online purchases through Safari with saved payment credentials, and so much more! It’s like having a superhero ride to your rescue, but instead of a cape, it’s your trusty iPhone. 🦸♀️💥
⌛️ Some features even have an extra layer of security with a one-hour delay for access. This includes changing your Apple ID password, altering your iPhone passcode, disabling Find My, and turning off Face ID. It’s all about keeping those no-good scoundrels at bay!
