iOS 17.3 Beta 2 Released with Stolen Device Protection and Collaborative Playlists

The update also introduces additional Journal app settings and is expected to include important security fixes.

iOS 17.3 beta 2 introduces Stolen Device Protection, a feature designed to safeguard user data in case of device theft, requiring Face ID authentication for viewing passwords or passkeys, turning off Lost Mode, and erasing all contents.
Collaborative Playlists in Apple Music, which allow friends to add, reorder, and remove songs, are re-enabled in iOS 17.3 beta 2, now with the ability to react with an emoji to a song someone added.
Additional options are added to the Journal app settings, such as enabling media and Apple Music suggestions, and cellular data usage.
Alongside iOS 17.3 beta 2, Apple is also releasing the second beta versions of iPadOS 17.3, watchOS 10.3, macOS 14.3, and tvOS 17.3.
iOS 17.3 is expected to include important security fixes, following a series of security updates from Apple addressing flaws used in real-life attacks.
