The iOS 17 Developer Beta is already out for a while now. I’ve installed it on my primary iPhone 14 Pro Max and got awed by its coolest new features.

While exploring what’s new, I’ve discovered a handful of hidden features Apple didn’t reveal.

Here are 25+ other hidden features that will probably change the way you’ll use your iPhone.

• Changes to Lock and Home Screens

#1. The Astronomy wallpaper’s got all planets

Back in iOS 16, we only had Earth, Moon, and Solar System in Astronomy wallpapers. But now, you’d find all the planets — Mercury to Neptune — all in high-detail in the section.
