"When is Anime Archivesthe iOS 17 Journal app getting released?" is a question I often get as a tech journalist.

The new feature, announced at Apple's WWDC event in early June, is one of the highly anticipated iOS 17 perks. Unfortunately, although iOS 17 officially launched in September, the Journal app has been delayed.

But now that Apple has finally rolled out the Journal app via the iOS 17.2 developer beta, I can stop getting that pesky aforementioned question. The Journal app is here folks! Well, kind of.
