The iOS 17.2 beta which has only just been deployed is causing problems with sending SMS messages for Free Mobile customers.
The new version iOS 17.1 was made available to the public this week. And as always, the beta of the next version, namely iOS 17.2, directly followed. As we know, a beta version suffers from bugs, which will be spotted by the beta testers, in order to allow the development of a clean final version, which can then be downloaded by everyone. But today, one of the bugs that was detected could well make the lives of freenauts difficult!
Free subscribers are not spoiled by the iOS 17.2 beta
Are you a Free Mobile subscriber? So, we warn you right away, the iOS 17.2 beta is not for you! A specialist in the Free network, the tweeter Tiino-X83, has just spotted a problem making it impossible to send SMS with an iPhone equipped with the beta in question.
The problem would be Apple’s fault, not Free’s. The American giant would in fact with this beta “ “force[é]”SMS via LTE although this is not yet active at Free “. As the Iliad subsidiary is the only one not to allow this function, other operators should not have to suffer any problems.
There is still a solution
Until the problem is resolved, there is still a way to get around the bug. If you have unfortunately already installed the beta on your brand new iPhone 15, know that by activating the Wi-Fi calling option, then connecting to a wireless network, you will still be able to send an SMS.
Note that according to the same source, Apple has already been alerted to this bug by Free itself as well as by users. The Cupertino company should quickly produce a patch that can be downloaded in the next version of the iOS 17.2 beta.
