France’s ANFR says that iOS 17.1, which will make the iPhone 12 legal in the country again, will be released by October 24th, according to a machine translation of a notice on its website. iOS 17.1 is set to add a bunch of new features as well.

According to code in the latest iOS 17.1 beta found by 9to5Mac, when your iPhone is in your pocket, it will sense that and require a longer press on the Action Button to do whatever you’ve set for the button.

The second beta of the upcoming iOS release adds options for a StandBy display to shut off automatically, after 20 seconds, or never, as reported by MacRumors. There are a handful of other additions, too, and watchOS 10.1 beta users can now try Double Tap.

Anyway, did you get in on this bit? Share a link to yours in the comments! Or don’t. I’m not your boss.
Drummer James Edge got down on Apple’s “Marimba” ringtone in this TikTok, and it’s now the soundtrack for the rest of my work day.
And as a bonus, here he is doing Toe Jam & Earl, too.
9to5Google spotted a change in the Android YouTube app that removes the “Library” tab from the bottom of the app, replacing it with a new “You” tab that takes you to the same place but with some slight differences. I see the same in the iOS app, while my colleague Victoria Song does not.
Other things have shuffled around a bit — YouTube Premium benefits are now in the You tab instead of tucked in the menu that tapping your profile picture in the top right used to show, for instance.
