Hello,
thank you very much for the info.
Sorry for a silly question, but if I decide to go and instal Beta,
should I backup my Iphone on my laptop via Itunes? Or is it sufficient
to do backup on my Iphone?
Having just one device, I am quite hesitant to instal Beta, but on the
other hand, I really want to know if they have done something with
Voiceover.
Voiceover pronunciation is so strange that I sometimes have to read
words letter by letter and it is really anoying reading texts that way.

Very easy to install it via Settings > General > Software Updates > Beta
Updates, definitely a bit more complicated to restore back to iOS 16.
Also, keep in mind that you cannot report Beta bugs to Apple Accessibility, you
have to use the regular Feedback app to report any beta feedback, if you send
an email to Apple Accessibility they will ignore it or reply that you have to
provide beta feedback through the feedback app; at least that is how it always
used to be.
I hadn't installed any major iOS beta updates in a few years also for the same
reason, I just have my iPhone and while we have an iPad, I rarely use it,
mostly for my sighted wife. This year I did install it and even now the public
beta is very stable and runs well, but of course there are a few issues. Some
of them are with respect to edit field sin apps like Messages, Whatsapp and so
on where sometimes Voiceover can be really weird; actually hard to describe,
but it just sometimes doesn't seem to let you edit properly.
Another issue I had that especially in the Canadian weather app I use, Weather
Office, I would lose Voiceover sppech when I first opened the app and swiped
past the top line with all the current conditions. It was like when you muted
Voiceover, the gesture sounds were there, but Voiceover was gone and you had to
unload Voiceover and reload it to get it back. For some reason in the last
couple of days I rarely experience this any more even though there hasn't been
a beta update nor has there been one for Weather Office. This shows how some
things may simply be resolved server-side especially when it comes to issues
with Siri, the App Store and maybe also certain Voiceover issues.

Subject: IOS 17 public beta question
Hello list,
I have been thinking about installing IOS 17 Public beta, but the thing is I
have only one Iphone device which I am using.
The reason I want to instal Public Beta is that I want to know if a particular
Voiceover bug. has been fixed and if not, I would like to report it while the
Beta version is available.
I am from Slovakia and Since IOS 16 came out last september, Voiceover reads
some Slovak words with English accent and English pronunciation which sounds
really strange and it is very difficult to read text.
I've been reporting the bug to Apple Accessibility and sent them screen
recordings, but they haven't fixed it by now.
There are Iphone users in Slovakia, but many can't speak English the way so
they are able to report the bug.
I don't know how many people have reported the bug and if it's just me, that's
why Apple accessibility doesn't listen to me and doesn't care.
I should mention that before IOS 16 everything was fine with Voiceover.
There were a few mispronounced words, but it was not as bad as it is in IOS 16.
Please, is it easy to instal IOS 17 Public Beta?
Would you please give me step--by-step instructions how to instal it?
And if it wouldn't work for me, is it possible to downgrade back to the latest
stable version?
Thank you.
Maria from Slovakia
