iOS 11.3 Beta 3 Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[Knowlege Bomb]

Anyone else having a problem with no blue dots !!!

I updated 2 apps on my iPhone 7 Plus tonight and noticed no blue dots ( signals app has been updated )

But I have blue dots on updated apps on my iPad Air 2 both iPhone and iPad running iOS 11.3 beta 3 !

Updated two apps this morning and unfortunately still there on my X.

No. It’s not working in the Beta. Although alarms normally work. This morning it didn’t for me. Much to my wife’s annoyance (I get up at 0400 daily. )

One of my inactive alarms went off on my phone (11.2.5) at 6am, much to my wife's annoyance.

This is way more buggy than beta 2. Outlook app keeps asking me to log in.

Is that the only issue?

I have the same issue with Outlook, but it's only with one particular work acct (I have 6 total) and it seems to be a problem with the email server side and not the app or iOS. I get them issues with Mail too.

Also phone calls sometimes just static noise.

If open app in dock and pinch to close the last time animation icon get horrible stutter!

Just tried. I’m not seeing any stutter.

Is anyone getting sms texts late? Particularly group texts? I’m on an iPhone X on AT&T. Been happening since the day I updated to beta 3 Weather has been bad in my area though, not sure if that’s related.

When playing music from my computer, half the time it doesn’t continue playing through my AirPods when I put the AirPods in. The AirPods still connect, but the music continues to play from the computer until I manually change the source.

This started with iOS 11.3 beta 2. iPhone X.

I don't know if this was posted, because I didn't read all the pages, but a few times I had troubles with the favourites widged. Once it showed like this (4 of them without contact name, just number), and once I was not able to call somebody from that list, I pushed on the icon many times but without success. I went to the home screen and tried again, and it worked

If you have photos edited before 11.3, hit the "edit" button and the colors of the photo will be distorted. This doesn't apply to all edited photos, sometime the photo jiggles a little bit.

Editing wouldn't cause that random shadow on the grass to appear. I think something else is going on.

This only happens to previously edited photos (<11.3), I can tell, because "revert" option appears. They probably changes the auto-contrast algorithm, or something like that. This is why this happens to only some of the edited photos.

Not sure if this is new for beta 3, but suddenly my calendar is populated with a ton of non-U.S. holidays.

Battery active/standby time is broken, again.

Running into few issues revolving around the music app.

1. When using AirPods & Beats Studio 3, music will sporadically stop while the seek bar operates like the song is still playing. Issue isn’t resolved until the music app is reset. This also happened in b2 but in b3 it’s becoming more common.

2. Music mini player in Control Centre will just stop updating the song currently playing and even if the audio source changes, it doesn’t update. Pressing the play/pause or next/previous track yields no result. A restart of the whole OS is required and even then the issue eventually comes back.

Sucks when the music app is one of my most frequented apps on my phone.

I think this is a new option for 11.3. Google search option in the share sheet that isn’t present on 11.2.5/11.2.6

I have been having an issue with the music for a while now where the local (not streamed) randomly decides to pause and skip very shortly after pressing the power button to switch the power off.

For me the audio (Music and other apps as well) don't pause but since the first beta it sometimes has a slight 'hiccup' a few seconds after locking the phone... I think it got slightly better with this beta.

Seeing two main issues here:

1. Assigning a lock screen wallpaper lowers the quality very noticeably after being set, compared to its rendering within the Photos app

2. Swiping from notifications to the camera, and then back, replaces the lock screen wallpaper with a black screen every time.

These problems persist even after rebooting.

EDIT: Both were reported immediately after discovery.

On iPhone X, the lock screen now-playing audio widget shows the wrong media title and artwork, and the pause/play neither works nor reflects the correct playback state.
