It's fair to say that Payday 3 hasn't had the smoothest of launches, but then it was never the easiest of sells. Payday 2 came out in 2013 and amassed a dedicated following, then Payday 3 came along and, on the surface at least, didn't seem to change an enormous amount about how the game worked but committed the cardinal sin of going live service and then… nothing. Since launch there have been plenty of complaints about its offering but only one minor patch, leaving players wondering what exactly was going on.
iOS 17.2 Beta 1 has been released; Know what’s coming - Journal app, iMessage sticker reaction, more

Apple sure knows how to keep people hooked. Just hours after the global release of the iOS 17.1 update, it released the iOS 17.2 Beta 1 update for developers, teasing the world with cool features that will soon come to their iPhones. While iOS 17.1 update did not add any new standalone features, iOS 17.2 is going to be a lot different. Just in the first beta, Apple has added a wide range of new features including the highly anticipated Journal app. Alongside, Apple has also introduced sticker reactions on iMessage and a new Translate feature for the Action Button, and a lot more. Let us take a closer look.
It should be noted that the iOS 17.2 Beta 1 is a developer's build and it is not out for public beta testers yet. It is expected to be released to them in a week or so. The iOS 17.2 update should be available to the public by the end of November or early December.
Journal app: Apple announced it during its WWDC (Worldwide Developers Conference) 2023, as a new app, similar to Evernote, where users can write journal entries, make notes, and use it in a bunch of other ways. To make a journal entry, just tap the "+" button in the Journal app. After that, you can either pick a suggested topic to kickstart your writing or go with "New Entry" to jot down whatever's on your mind. These entries can have photos, voice recordings as well and location tags. Entries get tagged with a date automatically to help you stay organized, but you also have the option to bookmark them.
Sticker reaction in iMessage: Another cool feature to make a debut in the iOS 17.2 Beta 1 developer build is sticker reactions. It comes as an alternative to tapback reactions, and now alongside emojis, you can also pick stickers to be added to the side of the message. Using it is pretty simple. Just long-press a message bubble and the option should pop up. Yes, you could already do this by dragging an emoji or a sticker in a conversation, however, this allows for sending much faster reactions.
Translate on Action Button: Those who own the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max can now select a new Translate feature for the Action Button. Setting the Action Button to Translate will enable you to press and hold the button to trigger a Translate window on your iPhone. This window is designed to capture spoken text and can seamlessly translate it between languages you've configured in the Translate app.
Apple Music upgrades: Apple Music gets further upgrades. First, you now have playlists where multiple people can add songs to. It's called a collaborative playlist and you can find the option for this inside the playlist within the three-dotted menu. It generates a link to the playlist, and anyone with that link can add songs to the playlist.

Apple rolls out iOS 17.1.1 for iPhones; Know what it brings
iOS 17.1.1 update: The launch of iOS 17 has been a mixed journey so far with Apple. The update rolled out on September 19, brought several new features which iPhone users can take advantage of to enhance their experience. However, it also brought a handful of problems along with it. iPhone 15 users started reporting heating issues with their new devices, which Apple fixed with a later update. Recently, users have also complained about their iPhones shutting down on their own during the night, while problems with Wi-Fi connectivity and the Weather app widget have also been reported. Bloomberg now reports that Apple has paused development of next year's software updates for the iPhone, iPad, Mac and other devices so that it could root out glitches in earlier codes.
