Anyone know why my usage/standby times would be incorrect? I installed the new beta last night, put the phone on the charger since it was low, and let it go. It hit 100% right before I was heading to bed so I let it sit a bit then unplugged it and left it locked on the table next to my bed. Yet it’s saying it was only in standby for an hour and 13 minutes?! I did plug it in very briefly today because it said iCloud Messaging stopped downloading until I plug in/connect to WiFi. Maybe I unknowingly charged it back up to 100% in that little bit of time and didn’t realize it.

I have had the same issues ever since they introduced messages via iCloud. Have you reported it to Apple?

I notice that if you plug in your phone and it is 97%/98% or higher battery, it resets the usage and standby time as if it is fully charged.
Me too, hopefully they will fix it before releasing the final version. If they don't, i would prefer them to remove the functionality entirely
They need to remove the whole 11, cos it is time for 12 and the previous is not fixed!
I think its supposed to be this way. Slider is media volume and hardware switch controls ringer volume.. I could be wrong though.
I have issues with the Camera app and Apple Pencil on the new iPad 2018. When I take a photo and try to directly edit it, by choosing the photo gallery on the Camera app and then "Edit", Apple Pencil is irresponsive for marking up. I have to close the app and open it again. I dunno if this is present in previous builds.
I think you are hoping for too much with IOS 12. They already said it’s going to be primarily big fixes.....not much in the way of new features
I’ve actually never paid much attention to the “change with buttons” option and just tried turning it on and testing my side buttons.
What a completely asinine, confusing “feature.” If you want to change your call ringing and alert volume independently of your media/music volume, that should always be something you need to find deeper into settings. It’s way too confusing with the buttons option turned on. Who even thought of that?
Prett sure Apple never commented on anything iOS12 related.
On the topic of Messages in iCloud: was it reduced to a mere „Messages“ toggle in your iCloud Drive settings menu? I had to turn it on in there cause opening the messages app gave no popup and the messages settings also has not a single „in iCloud“ setting. That‘s a big contrast to the early versions I remember from testing the initial
iOS11 betas (sync button etc).
Have you tried to force sync on the Mac under Preference for Message app? Then, iMessage yourself or have someone iMessage you then try to delete it to see if it will sync across Mac and iPhone?
The "Change with Button" feature allows you to change the ringer volume anywhere in Home or within apps. When playing a media or video, it automatically switches to volume for playback media. In the CC, the volume slider only to control media playback volume.

11.4 BETA testing...
What are apple developers doing from 1 and a half months?

They didn't fix 11 and you are excited about 12
Maybe fixing exploits so severe that allow your phones password to be guessed in seconds amongst other things.

He’s right, iOS 12 is supposed to fix iOS 11
Thanks for the clarification!

I was initially going to agree until I remembered using Android. I thought it's separate volume sliders was annoying as hell. If I mashed the down button, it should lower the volume on everything, not just media or alerts.
