After a testing period that lasted several weeks for developers and some users, Apple has begun the trial version of iOS 17, months before its official release.

This move means that you can install iOS 17 on your iPhone even today and try all the new features it offers. However, as is always the case, there may be some bugs, and for this reason, it is not recommended for all users. To download it, just visit the official Apple website and connect with your Apple ID. Follow the steps that appear on the screen to complete the process. Once you’re done, open your phone, go to Settings, then to the category General and then to Software Update. There you will find the option for the trial version.

As for the new features of iOS 17, Apple focused on improving some of the key applications like the Phone, FaceTime, and iMessage. Now, every contact in your list can have its poster with unique graphics and a photo. Check-in is an easy way to see your favorite contacts in iMessage, while the app itself has an updated user interface. The stickers of iOS 17 upgrade for iMessage, as all the emojis can now be turned into stickers. Live stickers transform your every photo into a sticker that you can send as a GIF. In FaceTime, you can now leave a video message in case the other person does not answer the video call.

AirDrop changes and improves on iOS 17 to make it easier to share files through iPhone. The “NameDrop” allows you to easily exchange contacts like phone numbers and emails between two iPhones placed side-by-side. You can send files with full resolution even when you move away from the person to whom you want to send them. However, iOS 17 is not available for all iPhone models. You can check if your phone supports it on the official Apple website.

In addition, the trial version of IOS 17 is also available for iPadOS 17.
