iOS 11.3 Beta 1 Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[cale508]

Holy ****, if you search for text in messages and click the search result, it actually opens the message thread scrolled to the right spot!

I have seen and used this feature for a while, not sure when it started.

I had to go into iCloud setting and manually switch on iMessage on both my 8+ and 10.5. Even though I got the pop up screen telling me about iMessage in the cloud.

Hasn't it always done that?

I'm so glad they lowered the font size in the app store when viewing updated/updating apps! It's like they thought we were all blind so they blew up the font size. One of my biggest complaint that I submitted to Apple and I'm glad it was addressed.

Small changes I’ve found. I’m using the iPhone X so not all changes will reflect on Touch ID models.

App Store shows more details about app version and file size

This is the one thing that has constantly annoyed me - glad to see this!

Where is the battery throttling setting? I don't see it!

iBooks remained to Books
Safari can now gain access to Camera and Michrophone

Not for me. If the text is old it will only open the thread but it's always landed at the bottom of the message thread.

Same here. Looks like everything got uploaded as Messages isn't showing up now under iPhone Storage.

 

[bashman2020]

someone should screenshot what the cpu throttling button looks like from battery settings that's like the most important feature of ios 11.3

Is the status bar visible when Control Center is open on iPhone 7? (or any iPhone other than the X ?)

Annoys me so much that it is hidden. The X has it so why not the others?

This is awesome; this bug has been around for YEARS and they finally fix it.

After a while you just lose hope, then when it's fixed it feels like Christmas.

Not installing this beta, though; gonna wait for a few beta cycles on this one. I'm enjoying my nearly bug-free 11.2.5 experience.

Dont get what you mean? Mine does this now anyway and I am not on the 11.3 beta.

how can we see if imessages got uploaded? this is really confusing

 

[jhuynh]

Not for me. If the text is old it will only open the thread but it's always landed at the bottom of the message thread.

It must have been fixed earlier and nobody noticed because it works fine in 11.2.5 as well. I stopped searching in messages a long time ago because I got frustrated with it not bringing me to the actual message when selecting the search result. Like you, it would always just open up at the bottom of the thread.

It'll be in a later beta.

iBooks remained to Books
Safari can now gain access to Camera and Michrophone

iBooks being renamed saddens me greatly. It doesn't look as good on my homescreen. I have it right next to iTunes U.
Safari's new ability is quite interesting and neat. Web apps for group chats and such could be possible now.

Not for me. If the text is old it will only open the thread but it's always landed at the bottom of the message thread.

Admitted, I have only tried it on macOS in the past

Once again, it's not coming until a later beta.

I gave up searching so long ago. I figured with iCloud Messages it was worth trying again. This is good news for me. Thanks for not making me think I was crazy.

I agree. However, check to see if Messages shows up under iPhone Storage settings. That should give you your answer.

 

[ad931]

I see that too, I'm talking being able to play the same song in multiple rooms.. this has yet to be enabled (at least as of 11.2.5 anyway).

You’re getting sound in different rooms using what devices?? Thanks

 

[HyperliteG4]

I'm a bit nervous to install and enable iMessages in the cloud just in case they decide at some point to nuke the testing server and I'd lose my messages... I remember them doing this back in the day when they enabled iTunes in the cloud.

 

[casperes1996]

First time you open up iMessages after update.

I hate that "Messages ON iCloud". In seems more natural than on

Is month 13 still there?

There's a new Privacy screen when you first open the iPhone after installing the software that explains how Apple collects data and how you can tell when an app is collecting data. I couldn't screenshot it.
