When using GPS and then receiving a call, the two blend together. Was still able to answer but couldn’t really see a call was being received.
Got a tip for us?

Were you using maps? Which map apps? Google? Apple? Waze?
Do Audiobooks sync the last location between devices? As it is now in iOS 10 i can't pick up where I left off in an iBooks audiobook when I switch between my iPad and iPhone. That's one thing about iOS 11 I haven't been able to find so far.
I can't see the Siri app suggestion that appeared in bottom left corner of lock screen in ios10. Missing feature in ios 11? Another thing I don't like is that app suggestion in the multitasking view are very slow to came out from the bottom compared to previous ios but this can be surely a bug.
Ooh! Good find.

Welcome to beta 1.
[doublepost=1497423738][/doublepost]
Are you installing the beta profile from the developer site, or from beta.apple.com? The public beta isn’t out yet.
You think the missing app suggestion on bottom left lockscreen it's because a beta or they removed completely due to the lockscreen redesign?
On my iPad, I now get that in bottom right. I know it’s a suggestion because it will have a little clock icon superimposed.
I can't see that it did. I had to go into each account and make the downgrade after "accepting" the Family plan.
I have the same thing, i watched it for a while and it said “tile is using your location” I’ve not seen any other app do this. (Using the tile beta as well)
If Apple decides to put their engineers on this they can fix it. fingers crossed.I've been on an automation kick recently and I've found HomeKit frustrating and fragile; both HomeKit itself and 3rd party support for it.
I have a Liftmaster MyQ garage door and they've been promising homekit support for 2 years but never delivered it. In the end I built a Homebridge server on a Raspberry Pi to support it. It works but it is incredibly fragile - If I add/remove functionality about 50% of the time HomeKit becomes corrupted and I have to delete my house and start over (thankfully Phillips Hue App retains its own view and my 20-something lightbulbs can at least be restored quickly)
I bought EcoBee instead of Nest for this house specifically because of its HomeKit support (I half think I should have stuck with Nest and just used the homebridge-nest plugin sometimes though). Its HomeKit support is shambolic though. EcoBee is built around "Comfort Profiles" but these are not exposed to HomeKit. Instead, to add EcoBee in HomeKit you can either set temperatures manually (though unreliably) which then override your schedules or use the app to generate, which it does completely unreliably, often corrupting Scenes or failing to add anything to them.
I have a bunch of Elgato Eve door and window sensors. So, I can use these to get a notification when I'm away, right? No, not really. In iOS 10 notifications are either on or off (which means I get a notification every time I open the patio door etc) or in 11 they can currently be restricted to a time period and when TV OS is updated to a geofence.
Which brings me to Geofencing. In iOS 10 it simply does not work correctly for a household with multiple people. Rules trigger when one person leaves and there is not a concept of "everyone". I'm using another Homebridge plugin called homebridge-people, with this plus an iOS app called locativity, I've set up a web server that receives a ping from our phones when we leave the area and I've added 4 extra states "Me Home", "My GF Home", "Anyone Home" and "No-one Home". This is all a tremendous hack and I had to buy and set up DynDNS on my router to get it to work. Even then HomeKit inexplicably sometimes (maybe 1 time out of 10) fails to trigger - all the conditions are met but the rule simply does not trigger. Even with this hack in place there's still no provision for tying notifications to it (other than another home bridge hack and my patience for those is running thing). Supposedly iOS 11 will fix multi-person geolocation but I'm not holding my breath.
Hue. Well, Hue is OK. Sometimes the app and/or the bridge get confused but they're not difficult to reset.
It's decidedly not the home of the future I envisioned when I started out on this!
Edit: Hmm. This post didn't really belong in this thread. Apologies for the rant
I get this with Waze, regardless of whether the app is navigating or not. I expected this if I was having Waze navigate, and I clicked back to the homescreen to do something else (as I've seen Google Maps do many times in iOS10), but even if I've completed my trip, and I go back tot he home screen after using Waze, I get the blue bar at the top that says Waze is using my location, and it never goes away. I have to force kill the Waze app to get it to stop.
One of my biggest complaints about this beta is maps app. So very unreliable, and lock screen behavior while it’s running is abhorrent. Was really hoping for a beta update yesterday
New feature: If you hold the camera up to a QR code containing a wifi network SSID and password, a notification pops up allowing you to insta-join it.
Another new thing:
When you first login with your apple id on a device that isnt trusted on your apple id, there is a new cool popup. It shows a little square with the information from maps, from where the request comes. I would show you a screen but toooo much information about me.

I don't know if this is intended or just a bug, but reseting network settings on the iPhone no longer erases my saved WiFi list on MacOS Sierra!
Just a bug. It’s not that annoying. I find it very intermitttent. It doesn’t always happen for me.

That’s not new. It’s two-factor authentication. I believe it’s present in iOS 10.
The 2 Factor Authentication (2FA) is NOT new... but with iOS 11, if you don't have it, it will push you in that direction. It looks like the previous security scheme (2 step verification) is being phased out in favor of 2FA... and the map popup is a part of the 2FA confirmation that will appear on a trusted device... clicking through that map popup will give you a 6 digit numeric code to be used on the NEW device to authenticate the login.

On iOS 11 for iPad, when you're in the "multitasking/Mission Control-like" screen, can you drag one of the "full screen" app tiles onto another full screen app tile and join them as a "split screen" tile? [Does that even make sense?] You can do this with two full screen apps in macOS's Mission Control.
On a side note, I think "Mission Control" is a horrible name.

- Timer now allows user to set seconds in addition to hours & minutes.
Well, I reset the network settings on my iPhone around October 2016 (iOS 10) and my Mac still has all the saved Wi-Fi networks (and passwords) from travels in the years before. Are you sure this is new?
The equivalent of that are the apps that appear in the Dock on iPad. On iPhone.... not sure yet. I know if you have continuity enabled, those will appear in the App Switcher. Maybe it has been removed?

They showed that in the Keynote. Nice feature for those insanely long passwords!
