The updated build is 21E5184k, but the build number for the initial iOS 17.4 beta 1 is 21E5184i. Although it’s unclear exactly what has changed at this moment, it’s likely that Apple has resolved a significant bug that was impacting users of iOS 17.4 beta 1 last week. Developers and public beta testers can get the latest build.

The App Store and its larger ecosystem have seen numerous significant changes in iOS 17.4 for iPhone users in the European Union. This contains much more, such as the first-ever support for third-party app stores, modifications to the policies governing default web browsers, and game streaming apps.

Along with some small tweaks to Apple Music, transcriptions for Apple Podcasts, multilingual message reading for Siri, and new emoji, the update also includes these features. According to Apple, the public will be able to download iOS 17.4 in March.
