iOS 10.3 Beta 1

[cobbyco]

Very interesting: it seem's Apple are allowing apps to show an "alternative" app icon. They aren't dynamic like the Clock app icon, but developers can bundle in any number of alternative app icons to be shown on the homescreen. It also seems to be supported on tvOS. If you're a developer you can read up on them below:

Hm, I wonder how flexible this will be?

It would be neat, for example, for a weather app's icon to show thunderclouds when it's raining, or just a sun and blue sky when it's clear out.

Anyone else think it would be awesome if Apple would knock it off with the yearly "big" updates, and just do incremental changes throughout the year like this?

I gained 2 GB with the update as well.

Partially a side-effect of the new file system?

This is a welcome change. Sucks when you find a great wallpaper and one or two app icons clash with it.

Oh wow, the home button animation is definitely fixed on 7+. A LOT smoother than 10.2.1.

The change in icon is determined by the app, not the user. Most of the time I'd expect the icon change to be automatic and non customisable, but some developers may make it a user choice within the app which app icon is shown.

Do home videos sync to the TV app?

 

[permar]

There is no possibility to activate a third party blocker, Truecaller, in Settings/phone/ block callers (i don't know the English word...)

Has the camera shutter bug on the 7 plus been fixed in 10.3?

A likely an iOS 10.3 bug...
Locating my Apple Watch with "Find my iPhone" works fine, but on my iPhone under Settings/"person's name" (new in iOS 10.3 and at the top)/"person's" Apple Watch, the status for, "Find My Watch" is set "off."

Installed on iPad mini 4 and I happen to love the iCloud section. Its super nice place for all that to reside. Not sure how it will be on iPhone but for iPad I like it!

If you haven't turned on Siri yet and press the home button to activate Siri you will be presented with this screen

 

[campyguy]

Just noticed that the "unread" indicator in the Mail app is a number in a blue dot, instead of the number embedded in parenthesis and the name of the mailbox/folder is no longer in the header.

has the stutter/lag scrolling bug on the iphone 7+ been fixed in 10.3? like this :

 

[dadiduekappa]

I like the new multitasking animation with the apps that seems to bump from bottom to the middle of the screen. Do you notice it? I will add to first page.

 

[liledd]

Live Photos folder wasn't always there right? And you get haptic feedback when activating lock screen live photo.
