Now that iOS 17.2 is official and barring an update containing an emergency bug fix, Apple has completed the update iOS 17 for the rest of the year. This means that two features should be included with iOS 17 this year have been officially pushed back until 2024. One is the Apple Music Collaborative Playlist which would allow an Apple Music subscriber to invite others to add songs to the subscriber's playlist, edit order the list, remove songs from the list, and react to songs. in the “Now Playing” UI with emoji.
However, Apple felt compelled to delay the Apple Music Collaborative Playlist because it was concerned that some iOS users might abuse the feature or use it to spam other iOS users. The first beta versions of
iOS 17.2 contained the feature that was conspicuous by its absence in the
iOS 17.2 RC (candidate version). And today,
iOS 17.2 was also released without this feature.
Apple's list of new features available in iOS 17 now adds a footnote to the Apple Music Collaborative Playlist listing that says, “Coming in an update in 2024.”
Two iOS 17 features, including the Apple Music collaborative playlist, have been delayed until 2024.
A feature called AirPlay in Hotels is also being pushed back to 2024. Apple explains this feature by saying: “Enjoy your content securely and privately on the big screen in select hotels by simply scanning a unique QR code on the AirPlay-enabled TV of your room. » Just like the aforementioned delayed Apple Music feature, a footnote on Apple's list of what's new iOS 17 Features points out that AirPlay in hotels will arrive in an upcoming update in 2024.
As we pointed out, iOS 17.2 was released by Apple today and in this story you can learn about all the features that have only been delayed until next year. The only feature I set as soon as I finished downloading the update was adding “Translate” to the action button. Now, if I want to translate a Weibo post into Chinese or a news article posted in a foreign language, a long press on the action button will open the Translate
app.
Although you'll have to wait until next year to add the Apple Music and AirPlay collaboration playlist in hotels to your phone, you can add the rest of iOS 17the new features of .2 including “Journal” by going to Settings > General > Software update.
