When ready, can any one confirms if these still exists from previous build

Remaining Issues
  • Peek and Pop (3D Touch) doesn’t work on an Apple News link
  • When you set a perspective wallpaper and move your phone, it doesn't have the necessary animation. (For iPhone X, there no such behavior) Update: Happened on X, but it got fixed by itself.
  • All message threads and attachments in a message conversation is not fully restored after doing a clean install.In the Control Center, volume slider indicator delay (seen before in beta 2 #41)
  • Screen Recording doesn’t record anything from TV.app in this build, no matter it’s home video or from streaming service. Whereas Screen Recording is OK with infuse.app (third party)

Same annoying issues with iMessage. Cannot believe it ...

i am beta testing it on two iPhones and two iPads and I have the same issues on each.

If I click the „i“ in the top right corner of any iMessage conversation to delete attached images, the delete button does not actually delete any images.

If I go to general > storage > messages and delete images and videos in there I still have attachments in the actual messages app itself.

iCloud Storage of iMessage does not match on any of my devices either

Also not sure what is going on there:

Anyone else having issues downloading this beta OTA? I've been stuck at 6 minutes for the last 30 minutes..... WiFi connection on my X is just fine.

And my health jumped up 3% on this beta from beta 4.

I doubt HomePod will get AirPlay 2 until they release a beta! HomePod has been lacking betas compare to all other OS.

There is no point in having audioOS/HomePod BETA's as there are no software developing kits or any API's for developers to use for it. Apple should be fully capable of handling all the audioOS firmware testing in-house as it's a completely locked-down device, at least at this point in time.

That doesn't really mean anything. My battery health jumps between 91% and 95% all the time, even on the same release. It seems random where it'll be when I check.

I gave my mother my old iPhone 6 this past weekend, and right after updating it to iOS 11 the battery health was 89%. Once she restored her backup to it and got it going, we checked again out of curiosity and it had jumped a whole 9% to 98%! I kinda jaw-dropped and wondered how a 3.5 year old iPhone 6 can be at 98% (better than my iPhone 7 Plus!), but I won't complain as when my mom gets phone problems, I'm the one she calls. :)
 
Messages in iCloud finally started working for me in beta 3 (it hadn't worked for me in any beta, not even 11.0 betas). Back to not working in beta 5. ):

I agree, however when installing the beta software profile, I've been given the option to push it to the HomePods as well.
 
I haven't gotten on the 11.4 beta yet, worried about battery life with betas, after bad experience with 11.3 betas.

Something I don't see come up on here, has anyone noticed any improvements to Portrait Lighting mode?

The Feedback app appears when you have the beta profile installed installed regardless of build - GM or beta

I believe with the public profile the Feedback app is always there, with the developer profile it disappears on stable releases.
