To simplify it like Apple Music. Obviously

Yeah same here, hated the notifications so much I turned it off. For some reason the previous “delete all friends” option didn’t do anything because I still had all my friends.

Same here. Figured I had sifted through all the junk but swear I keep getting notifications from 2 “users” who I think are just spam/junk because they’re always inviting me to something but I literally have no idea who there are smh.

It seems that T-Mobile WiFi Calling isn't working in this beta.

Apple TV now appears in the Home app, appears on when music is playing, appears off when music is paused. Also, AirPlay 2 multiroon audio is enabled. Tapping on the Apple TV AirPlay button would crash the phone and cause a respring though...

Everything else is good, buttery smooth on iPhone X and iPad Pro 9.7

How is performance for the iPad Pro 10.5 and iPhone X? Any experiences here would be great.

BUG: Books sorted in manual order is shuffled randomly, and you can’t rearrange it back.

My issue is worse. I carefully place books in collections. Sci-fi, Non-Fiction, Authors with large catalogs, by series, etc. iCloud has removed all my collections from their folders. I also used the “Books” section to place my current readings in, and that’s now all books in my library. I know it’s a beta, so I’m not super angry, but you would think those changes would be mentioned in the release notes. It’s gonna take me hours to sort this all out and fix.

I have done both my X and my 10.5 Pro and so far no issues to report apart from one on the X.

Randomly when opening the settings app the screen briefly turns black then goes back to the home screen. Opening again after that seems fine and I can’t seem to replicate it at will. But had it happen 5x so far since updating. Doesn’t happen on the 10.5 Pro.

Do you have a LTE Cellspot, the femtocell? I do and I'm not seeing wifi calling either. Perhaps it finally doing some prioritizing of when to use wifi calling.

Here ya go.

So far it’s incredibly quick and smooth on my iPhone X. This looks promising.

One improvement that has bothered me from the beginning was my iPad Pro 10.5, when trying to access control center, it would delay and just be slow to activate, it is finally instant when trying to activate it with 11.3. For everyday use, this is very welcoming.

Overall, liking it a lot, always had stutters and frame rate drops up until 11.2.5 but with 11.3, so far, running really crisp with no stutters or anything, only issue I’m having right now is the Apple TV app doesn’t work, but, I’m not too worried since it’ll be fixed in a future update

Confirmed. WiFi calling isn't activating for me either.

Edit. I do have a LTE Cellspot and WiFi Cellspot as well

As a matter of fact, I DO have one of the T-Mobile Cell Spots here @ home. INTERESTING. I'll know for sure if it's working when I leave in just a few moments.

Specific to T-Mobile as it works on my X with Orange France

On T-mobile, WiFi calling working fine here.

T-Mobile has always prioritized wifi calling regardless of carrier signal strength, unlike other carriers, which have a threshold for when wifi calling kicks in. That may have change with 11.3.

You may have to go into the iCloud settings to toggle on Messages even though it asked if you want to use iCloud Messages as a pop up screen in the app itself. I clicked yes but the toggle was still switched to off.



Cannot see WiFi Calling on my iPhone either. Using Telekom (Germany). Its supposed to prioritize cell but service is crap in my apartment so I am supposed to have WiFi Calling

Edit: reboot brought it back

Spring happened real quick this time.

Sadly, it's still Winter here...

New options available when you click on an Artist/album title. Now, you can select between going to the artist's page or the album.

Re the wiki statement that iCloud messages is enabled by default if you have 2FA and iCloud backup enabled... I have both of those enabled and I had to manually toggle on iMessages in the cloud.

 

[trikotret]

I used to have 7.2 GB data as backup on my iCloud but after i enabled iMessage on iCloud, I'm down to 465mb of data on iCloud. My message's are still syncing with iCloud. Will the iMessage count against my iCloud data?
