So the bar can be checked after disabling cellular toggles etc. It's basically a regression from version 10 and it is visible on the iPhone X. Mainly about consistency. Inconsistent UI'S are annoying.

Ah, I see you are a man of culture as well.

Serious question:

How come people like the 3D Touch multitasking so much? Isn’t it easier, faster, and smoother to just double tap the home button? Maybe I’m missing something.

Not even a tiny bit. You can press, swipe it much faster, and directly to the last app with the shortcut.

Yes.

I haven’t deleted accounts and re-added yet. Kind of a pain in the ass but doesn’t appear I have any other options.

I've also been having this problem for the past 2 days. I was really hoping that the next beta would solve this, but no, Mail continues to crash. Really frustrating.

Will try deleting and adding accounts.
 
Anybody seeing some minor (but odd) visual artifacts with the app switcher? Sometimes after summoning multitasking or swiping an app away, there’s a black flicker near the bottom of the cards. Hard to describe, but it’s almost like a momentary rounding effect at the bottom edge. This happened with beta 1 as well.
 
What about the volume box still appearing as an overlay on the middle of the screen when watching videos? Wasn’t this supposed to be changed when iOS 11 rolled out to the public? I still see it from time to time.

Anyone have any insight on this behavior?

Much smoother than Beta 1
3D Touch multitasking is somehow different than the one we used to have with iOS 10. It’s a lot faster and easier to use. It reminds me of the new gesture iPhone X is getting to switch between apps though it’s not really the same.
I took a look at the emoji panel and I found over 50 new emojis and that’s great.
There’s a small lag with the Notification Center considering it received a new animation with iOS 11.1 but it has been improved a lot between beta 1 and beta 2.
I’ve experienced a massive battery drain issue with beta 1 that made my phone last a maximum of 4 hours. I can see that the battery doesn’t really drain like it used to with Beta 1 after updating to Beta 2. I can confirm there is Battery drain but it’s not as worse as it used to be with Beta 1.
I expected beta 2 to be a larger update that includes many bug fixes considering that it took them nearly 2 weeks to release the update.

What new animation did it get?

Hm. Even with the iPhone 7, I personally find it annoying to reach over to the left side of the screen and I feel like the second 3D Touch to access the app switcher takes a lot more pressure. Way more than a normal 3D Touch.

The whole process feels extremely cumbersome and awkward to me, but I’m glad people are happy with it.

All iOS versions wait for a second press. If it didn’t it would jump to homescreen immediately and you would never have a chance to double press. That’s why the delay gets even longer when you add triple click behavior in the mix. You want a delay that’s long enough for most people to be able to double press. But not too long to be noticeable.

When the 7 arrived with it’s capacitive home button something changed. I’m not sure what so I’m only just speculating. But when going to the app switcher the app that was in foreground would bounce down a little before going up again to the app switcher row. As if the pressing the home button once would immediately close the app and then the second press would stop that animation and snap it back up.

With iOS 11 this is now fixed. It doesn’t bounce anymore. But there is now a slight delay before the app closes when pressing the home button once.

Ok I get that. Of course it has to wait. But folks are stating it such that only iOS 11 has to do that and thats why there is a lag. But seems that the reality is they just increased the wait time from previous versions.

How's this running on an iPhone 7, anyone?

I'm still on 10.3.3 but I'd like to upgrade soon, but I've heard that 11.0.2 was a major issue with the 7.
 
For those who fully charged their phone and running with assistive touch on, is it still causing battery drain?

This was one of the major problem for me in beta 1.

Did you find any way around it in beta 1?

No :(, even repairing them would only fix that for some amount of time, sometimes I had to repair them two times in a row, because it would not even work after the first one, and I notice that sometimes, you get the connected sound on the ear but if you press play it would sound in the phone instead of the AirPod.
 
Yes . Feedback works !
Now on ipad pro 10.5 no lag when opening multitasking from bottom swipe and Notification Center absolutely faster than before .
But some lag exist when scrolling in multitasking
 
Stupid question but how can I get the 3D Touch app switcher to work? Doesn’t seem to work for me like it did back on 10.3.3

-edit never mind, just didn’t wanna work on the home screen for some reason

Thanks. Well assuming mine is the same, I am gobsmacked at the fuss being made over a fraction of a second delay...it’s bordering on pathetic.

Yeah, but one someone is convinced they’re never going to change their mind. There are some really interesting studies about this

https://www.psychologytoday.com/blo...-changing-somebody-s-mind-or-yours-is-hard-do

People are allowed their opinions of course , but in the number of years I’ve seen these sorts of debates no one has ever cited any actual metrological evidence to back them up. No one bothers to consider other reasons either. For example, the so called Touch ID lag, is it slightly possible that some screen protectors could be interfering? Maybe not, but we may never know because no one bothers to compare notes.

This board needs a healthy dose of objective thinking.

The 3D Touch app switching works very smoothly with Reduced Motion turned off, but is a bit jerky with Reduced Motion on. Hopefully, Apple will fix this.
