iOS 11 Beta 2: Changes, Bug Fixes, Enhancements, etc.

Is 3D Touch for App Switcher working in this beta? I hope it's not been removed.

It seems all the "Personal Hotspot style" blue colored bar that appears at anytime where third party apps attempt location service is all gone for good (was a bit of a problem during Beta 1)

Anyone still sees it?

I still get it with Waze. Have Waze on screen, return to the home screen, get the blue bar saying Waze is using my location. Doesn't go away unless I kill Waze. Google maps doesn't do this, unless I'm actively navigating. Waze does it whether I'm navigating or not.

my carrier is T-Mobile, im going to try a fresh install and see if that changes anything, if that doesn't do anything, ill downgrade to iOS 10 see if that works, ill report back

I'm on Tmob as well, and cellular data is working fine here. Try reset network connections maybe?

It seems to be. I remembered to turn it back on this morning, and I haven't seen any of the brightness drops from DP1.

+1, seems to be OK now on my iPhone 7 Plus and Pro 10.5

Still there for me.

Name apps in dock don´t show in this beta still.

Pretty sure that's by design.

It's still not working. Definitely hoping it returns. I used it a lot.

Yeah but most devices don’t have 3D Touch. In my opinion they really messed up big time with NC and notifications itself. What used to be quick and simple steps is now unintuitive and requires more steps.

(The forbidden sentence: even on Android it’s now simpler and no I don’t use android)

But the good news is that the options in the new Control Center are all available for non-3DTouch devices as well. I think that's pretty cool. Hoping to see it applied to Clear All button in NC.

I think it's gone. I was surprised that it had fans. I disliked it. I found it both awkward to trigger and too easy to trigger accidentally in a few programs (mostly games, admittedly) that required presses close to the left edge.

I have a feeling we'll see a new way to trigger it on the iPhone 8 that doesn't involve double pressing the "virtual home button".

This beta has more bugs than beta 1. Killing apps is glitchy a f, talking on calls happens only on speaker, the animations are laggy, safari crashes on videos, the status bar overlaps sometimes. I feel like updating from 10.3.2 to beta 1 then 2 made things worse for me.

Try Reset All Settings. It should clear most of these.

Try Reset Network Settings as a first attempt to fix

Thanks. Just reset my network settings. Gonna try wifi when I get home tonight.

I appreciate the help.

Ok great thanks! I will install the new update this afternoon.

Oh man, it sucks if it's gone. Simply the best way to avoid wearing out the already delicate Home Button.

The app switcher on beta 2 is even worse imo then beta 1. You get rid of the apps on multitask and the damn app reappears again, sometimes it just refuses to leave. You’d think simple issues such as this would be resolved but nope.

 

[VSMacOne]

I saw it mentioned earlier but there was not screenshot. Nice changes to Search in the Music.app.

HSBC UK app now works after the latest app update today.

Ja it possible Go downgrade Go 10.3.2 without iTunes....? Also only via ota?

I've never had Home button issues on any of my iPhones, iPads, or Ipod Touches. I guess I can see how it could be. (But starting with the iPhone 7, the Home button is no longer a moving part.)

I guess we'll see what they come up with.

I think I mentioned this, but this is normal for Waze... It never showed in iOS10, but if you're not actively in a point-to-point navigation, it STILL does track you in the background unless you kill it... same for me for years. it's nice because it still alerts me to things if i go out...

iTunes required. Device has to be put in DFU mode.

Multitasking still not working on iPad Pro 9,7? I still can't seem to swipe in from the right to show the app switcher

It doesn’t work that way in iOS 11

 

[robbyrob01]

T-Mobile is having some nation wide issues right now. It’s not iOS 11.

 

[jhall8]

Hmm. I will have to try this once I get more notifications.

Warning for those considering downgrading: See https://forums.macrumors.com/thread...beta-2-to-10-3-2.2052583/page-4#post-24723262

OH, YOU'RE SMILING!

SHE CAN GO OUT IN A F******* DIAPER AND THEYD BE LIKE....

 

[Shirasaki]

So weird how I had zero App Store issues with beta 1, but beta 2, I can't install updates.

Same here. Cannot update two random apps in beta 2. Restart does not solve problem.

Ha! Thanks. I was reading through the settings and it seems they haven't updated the text accompanying the multitasking features - hence the confusion.

Found a new "feature" in the WiFi settings for networks - "Auto Join" - I didn't see this in B1. Screen shots:

View attachment 705099 View attachment 705100

This will help me keep from connecting to the wrong wifi as I re-enter the house.

Interesting to see all the different names showing up in the CC Music Widget. This showed up after playing a video in Messages.app.
