iOS 17.2 beta 4 new features

In mid-September, we told you that Apple dropped new ringtones and text tones when it introduced iOS 17, but this change also came with a new default notification sound. However, some didn't dig the new sound; a few complained that it was too quiet.

Listening to users' feedback, Apple launched a new feature iOS 17.2 beta 4 feature that will quell those complaints.

1. You can now change notification sounds

You can change the default sound to whatever you want. According to 9to5Mac, this is the first time that iOS has allowed users to do this. This is aside from mail, text, and calendar alerts, which already offer user-configurable options.

Under the "Sound & Haptics" section, you'll find a new "Default Alerts" option.

Does this mean that it won't be present in iOS 17.2? We can't say for sure. It may be temporarily disabled — or perhaps it's being pushed back to a later version of iOS 17.

3. Coverage section renamed

In this minor change, Apple swapped the word "Coverage" under Settings > General for "AppleCare & Warranty."

Everything else appears to be the same, save for a new "Warranty" section that offers coverage info about your iPhone.

4. Record directly to an external device

If you have an iPhone 15 Pro or iPhone 15 Pro Max, ProRes video can be "recorded directly to an external device," MacRumors said.

5. No more purchasing content via iTunes

A spotted iOS 17.2 code says, "You can buy or rent TV shows and find your purchases in the Apple TV," revealing that Apple may no longer allow users to purchase films and TV shows via the iTunes app.

We expect to see the official release of iOS 17.2 some time in December, which should come with the highly anticipated Journal app.
