How-to Update to iOS 17
The beta update process is quite simple after iOS 16.4. Users are no longer required to download a beta configuration profile and install it on their iPhones. To update your iPhone to a beta version, simply go to Settings - General - Software Update and select iOS 17 Developer Beta if you are a registered developer or iOS 17 Public Beta if you have been enrolled as a public beta tester. You can always select “Off” to opt-out of beta updates which is advised.
