Noticed that too. Yesterday my safari (especially the tap on status bar to go up) was ultraresponsive but today its slow again

I know fonts have been mentioned quite a bit recently but more evidence that something's not quite right.

In the app, DataMan, you can choose a font and when selecting "normal" fonts they all turn bold in the app. When selecting a "light" font, it's all fine.

Settings - general - spotlight

Privacy settings broken

Hmm it seems like I'm having the same issue as you. I was downloading some updates and something must have gone wrong because two apps didn't install completely leaving them stuck. I was unable to delete the app from the home screen or by using iTunes. For one of them, I was able to delete it from the settings but the app still showed on my home screen. I tried a lot of different things but nothing worked. So long story short, I decided to do a restore and start from scratch since it's been a while. All went well until I accidentally selected an app from my purchased apps that I did not want to install so I quickly stopped it. Unfortunately now I have partially downloaded icon on my screen and I can't delete / pause / cancel it. It shows "waiting..." and is slightly grayed out. So I'm right back to where I started...lol. I even powered down the phone both normally and doing a forced restart but no luck. I'm hoping either time or the next beta will resolve this issue. As it stands, the app is in a folder called "garbage" just waiting.

Thats some bad luck, yeah i have the same thing (not only with the youtube app), in the many things i have done to see if it can be fixed i accidentally put to download another app that is bellows youtube's app, immediately stopped, and i wasn't able to delete the app or almost anything, i forced restart, tap 5 times the update tab and then search youtube, and the app that is bellow let me re download it, so i did, then i just deleted it and that seems to work (at least with that), im no able still to download youtube's app, its stuck like starting to download but with no progress and it cannot be stopped, also the app does not appear in my phone, only app store.

Starting to think there may be some sort of memory leak or something happening in beta 1.

The biggest telltale I've seen is after about 1 day the view all tabs button in Safari is very slow to respond to touch. Tap it and it will take a second or two to then respond. And same for the tap the status bar clock to go back to the top. A reboot (power+home) or a full power off and then power on usually resolves this and taps are instant again. For about 1 day.

Could be just Safari or iOS itself. Seems to bog down everywhere a little bit. I always notice when it starts from those two things in Safari though.

Has anyone else noticed the same behaviour? (For me it's on an iPhone 6)

Beta 2 "should" be this coming Monday, I'll wait and see if anything changes then.

I've definitely noticed this and I'm on a 6s. Haven't tried rebooting so not sure how long of a fix that can be.

Safari on iOS 10 seems more than a little buggy in beta 1. Memory leak, the keyboard issue, video player issues, and probably more.

Thanks for the replies. Glad to know it wasn't just me noticing this or even worse something only wrong on my device.

I'm sure it will be resolved soon.

@Knowlege Bomb the reboot or full power down and up "fix" only lasts about a day or so (not sure if it's dependent on how heavily Safari gets used, in my case it's used a lot.)

Apple News in the UK is pretty much broken on my end... Refreshing takes a long time, and when it does, sections are broken, and 2-3 days old... Is this a known bug to this beta, or only an issue on my end?

 

[Shirasaki]

Not for me. I can't find a single song with lyrics

You just need to manually add them in iTunes.
Existed for years already. Feel frustrating that Apple calls this as "innovation".

I don't think this correct. I've seen a number of others say the lyrics are there for select songs. More to come as we progress through the beta cycle.

Not sure how it's taken almost two weeks to notice, but over the last couple days I've noticed scrolling in a large email is ridiculously smooth. Like super butter.

Nope. You already can manually add lyrics to a song when editing metadata of that song in iTunes.
I have a good amount of songs with lyrics stored in my library. They are all added manually.
For Apple music however, things may be a bit different.

They know lyrics could be added since forever through iTunes and they're not misleading their customers : the section of the WWDC keynote was about innovations to "Apple Music" and not "the iOS music app" although they don't exist independently. Therefore, yes, it is an innovation to have lyrics downloaded automatically when listening to songs on Apple Music, without the user having to add them manually. And to a lesser extent, users who don't use Apple Music and have already added songs to their library only have the new design.
What I'm wondering now is whether the automatic download of lyrics will also come for songs in the library and in that case, whether it will be only for Apple Music subscribers or not.

I would like to guess this is for apple music subscribers only, given that all iTunes store songs don't have lyrics included.

 

[that be me]

Is it a bug or did they remove the volume indicator. I don't see it when I adjust volumes on certain apps, like YouTube for example

Noticed this too. Sometimes it shows up, sometimes it doesn't. May have to do with Youtube not being updated for iOS 10 yet. I'll sometimes get a bug where the "Search" icon is invisible, but tapping the area where it should be will bring up the search bar.

It's super prominent if you swipe back in Safari. It hangs then reloads the page almost 100% of the time in this builkld on my 6s+ and 12.7 ipad. Going to see if turning off java remedies or even relieves. Hopijng turning off java also stops the page from scrolling to the bottom when I type.

And lots of typos because I'm typing blind every single time I ppost here on this build ugh
[doublepost=1466956281][/doublepost]Yup, turning off java stops the scroll to bottom bug.

 

[Natya Sadella]

Nice thank you finally i can see what i write
[doublepost=1466956991][/doublepost]But macrumors is broken now.

Is this a glitch or a new thing to have videos play by themselves and sometimes open up full screen without touching it? If so I can tell you now I hate it

On iPhone?

 

[azfalcons]

Yes on the phone

I cannot read all the pages, could please anyone tell me how is the beta running on iPhone 6?

Is there any way to turn OFF the rich text message feature in messages?

Yes and no. You can but you'd have to disable iMessage altogether which would disable many of the rich text message features however I assume you would not want to do that.

 

[Crzyrio]

Be careful.

For some reason my phone decided to update 22 Apps while of WiFi, managed to use 1GB+ of data in a day.
