If four general non-critical bugs is the "worst beta you've ever used", you mustn't have used many! Lol. The iOS7 one was leaps and bounds worse.

I used the iOS 7 beta as a daily driver and although it overheated (A LOT) and resprang every time, I concur that this is worst. On iPad is unable to boot after a hard reboot (I already restored 3 times) and the springboard frizzed to the point of not even been able to use the home button to go home screen forcing me to reboot and we'll... its a ****ing loop.
[doublepost=1496989737][/doublepost]Btw I don't know if anyone had this problem yet but on iPad Pro 9,7 the screen recording feature is messed up. The recording is fine but the saved videos are turned upside down or vertically oriented

Accessing control center from the assistive touch button results in a weird blackout.

I don't know if this has been mentioned....

To get to the YouTube search:

1) Swipe down slightly on the screen from the middle (like a "refresh" gesture)
2) Swipe up slightly from the same spot
3) Swipe down again. Toolbar including search will be visible.

Doesn't fix it on the iPad for me.

Spotlight now shows deep links for specific settings inside settings.app which is very handy.

This is the buggiest beta I have ever used. Just wow.

1. The new keyboard settings option in the keyboard switcher. When I drag up to change a keyboard I often select the keyboard settings by mistake which presents a new settings window.

2. Night Shift used to be toggable from the shortcuts menu. Now only the brightness is adjustable.

3. How is it that major APIs like audio for Skype calls get broken?

4. Or returning to Home from within all apps causes a crash-like UI transition to the Home screen. All apps including system apps have a long delay in opening. This is not something that should require code updates from devs. These are OS issues.

You'd think that a beta would have at least normal functional transitions to the home page and perform normally when opening even system apps.

Time for an iTunes restore to iOS 10. Will this automatically restore my watch to WatchOS 3? I don't mind keeping WatchOS 4 because it's stable.

1. How did it work in iOS10 when you went to settings? Just click top left to return to the app you were using. As an aside, I'm using the MS Word-Flow keyboard; I love it.
2. 3D press the brightness slider and a Night Shift toggle appears
3. I just did a test Skype call to "echo123" which successfully played back my message.
4. Not had this - other posts have suggested going into the app switcher and closing all apps.
 
Other question about the "Carrier data usage" mentioned on the slides : is this a user-facing feature like some new options/stats in Settings -> Cellular Usage or do you think it's something for devs?
 
I had created a few smart playlists and today I noticed since updating to iOS 11 Beta 1 the songs were no longer on my device so I clicked the cloud icon to download them again, after a few minutes the music app crashed and now I can’t access it at all after closing the app down fully and even rebooting my device.
 
Went back to 10.3.3 on my iPad Pro, and despite having the SE on 10.3.3, I may take my 7 Plus back to it as well.

I attempted to take pictures at my friends' gig last night and after about 3 pictures, they stopped saving and the phone warmed up tremendously. Staring at your phone waiting for reboot to finish is rude.

Here’s how I get the top bar in YouTube to work at the moment on my iPad Pro 9.7”:
  1. Go to subscriptions
  2. Select a subscribed channel.
  3. Click view channel.
  4. Click videos at the top.
  5. Scroll down a bit, then back up again.
That’s how I get it to show the top bar, when I need it.

I would love to see the new 3d touch ui from the control center toggles for the homescreen.

Could give us much more space for content

Just dragged a scanned Letter sized document from Notes to the Files app and it dropped as a PDF at the scanned size. So it can be dropped. Haven’t got the spring-loading folders to work yet. I thought they mentioned ithey'd work, but I could be wrong.

Wow, that's awesome, thanks!

You can 3D-Touch the Brightness slider to get the Night Shift toggle.

I wouldn't call not being able to open system apps without a crash or a two second delay "general". At the minimum system apps i.e. the settings app should open smoothly. I remember system apps in iOS7 and above opened fine. No Home screen crashes.

Anyway I hope there is a significant beta update this week.

Don't expect a beta update for a couple weeks.

Yep, I found that out by accident already, but thanks anyway.

This is the buggiest beta I have seen in a while. While this is expected it's annoying. I have so many bugs to file I don't have the time.
- imessage truncation: messages longer than actually displayed (copy message and the whole thing is actually in the clipboard)
- safari locking up on iPad when watching video
- notifications stop being sent to watch
- can't edit many photos with extensions (likely not a bug)
- carplay is a mess (no directions but voice, constant crashes, siri locks up)
and on and on and on
