Apple releases iOS 11 developer beta 8 & public beta 7

[Update: iOS 11 public beta 7 is now available as well.]

iOS 11 will likely be ready for everyone sometime next month, and today Apple has released the eighth developer beta preview. iOS 11 brings new features like drag-and-drop and a redesigned multitasking interface for iPad, a new customizable Control Center, and much more.

iOS 11 beta 8 is currently only available to registered developers for now. Apple typically holds new public beta versions for a few days for major updates, although recent versions have launched on the same day.

Apple’s previous iOS 11 betas introduced new Maps and App Store icons and other refinements. As we approach the final release next month, we expect more stability and fewer noticeable changes.
