Apple Released iOS 11 Beta 6 To Developers, With New App Icons, Fixed Several Bugs And Tweaked More Features

Apple released the sixth beta of iOS 11 to developers for testing purposes, just one week after releasing the fifth beta and more than two months after introducing the new update at the Worldwide Developers Conference. Developers can download the sixth beta of iOS 11 OTA once the proper configuration profile has been installed from Apple Developer Center.

The previous iOS 11 beta's iCloud Messages has been removed, but plans to reintroduce it in a future update to iOS 11. It fixes AirPlay, and tapping the AirPlay button in videos that are not full screen will no longer crash some apps, as well as fixed a Calendar bug that could cause crashes when dragging items into the Calendar app, and FaceTime Live Photos is now an option that's enabled by default.

Today's beta fixes an issue that caused the DirecTV app to crash on launch, when launching the App Store no longer stops other audio that's playing, several bugs with Family Sharing features have been fixed, and all phone numbers are now displayed during a multiparty conference call.
