Here is an extensive list we've collected of what's new in iOS 7 beta 5 which Apple seeded to developers.

● New Settings icons

Extensive List of What's New in iOS 7 Beta 5 [Images]

● You can now disable Control Center access within apps

● New Slide to Power Off

● Updated twitter icon

● New Yahoo! branding in Notification Center [Thanks Ghali]

● On/Off Switch for Labels in Accessibility [Thanks Ghali]

● Can access icons during animation in folders

● Updated in call buttons

● Trash moved in mail to right side, mark button on left now

● Headset controls on headphones now working again [Thanks Eyjag]

● You can download your specific language dictionary after you define a word

● Messages shows first name only now (last name initial dropped)

● Twitter and Skype now working

● Install screen and Boot screen same color as your phone now (white iPhone has black apple logo and white background) via ster1ng

● Lock screen music control functionality tweaked -- will not slide anymore when trying to access other controls (play/pause etc)

● Performance enhancements animation tweaks system wide (ie receiving notification will now darken instead of blur on lock screen). Some older device have had some animations blurs and transparencies removed to most likely help with performance.

Has anybody noticed that if we saved autofills in safari browser, those we saved can be viewed in the safari setting?? Setting>safari>passwords & autofills>saved passwords> There, we can see all the passwords saved! The characters ain't even hidden! That is totally unsafe! (Noticed it in earlier beta versions too. But they still ain't changed it!)

Since you can install without UDID registered i'd advice people to ignore this lame ad.

The animation while closing Control Centre is very quick now. Apps open and close faster than before, the loading screen of apps no more shows old state of the app.

Well guess what, it's a new style that some of us want, what apple is doing for people who just want new looks, they never said they wanted more texture or less, just new. For people who want ios 6 style, they can keep it if they want, this is what some of us came for, like the ones below, they don't care if it looks that bad, what if the real steve was here, he may have agreed since the apps are already good enough by usage and looks, he would have agreed for a newer look, think of the ios 7 chart that's over 50% of people choosing ios 7. Sure it may look ugly but whether they like it or not, it's up to them to change it, soon every ios 7 user may like it. How else would apple more texture into apps besides retina and shining and shade behind apps for updating ios?

If you go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar > Short Name you can change the display name to First Name Last Initial, First Initial Last Name, First Name Only, or Last Name Only. Also there is a Prefer Nicknames toggle.

When using the Nike+ app on the lock screen you can not pause the workout or change the song.

You can customize the vibrate method for each tone alert. It's pretty cool check it out.

I hope apple will fix this bug issue on beta 6.

has anyone else found the "level" function in the compass app when you swipe to the right? I noticed it in beta 2 or 3 but haven't seen anyone else comment on it yet

In the Mail App, when you choose to edit, the "Trash" is moved from the lower left to the lower right. "Mark All" is now on the lower left.
