iOS 11 Beta 3: Changes, Bug Fixes, Enhancements, etc.

[dbrose]

DND while driving (for systems not compatible with Apple CarPlay) now will not allow you to unlock screen without clicking on a dialogue button stating “I am not driving.” Previously it would allow you to unlock phone as normal.

Note that clicking this button turns off DND while driving so if you do this while in a parking lot or at a light it cuts off. We’ll see if it turns back on by itself once you start moving again.

This was the same in beta 2.

How stable/fast is beta 3 on the iPad Pro 10.5?

Someone calls... accept call... put on speaker... phone is still playing ringtone for an additional one second. Then I can hear the person. iPhone 6s+

 

[RSmith2023]

This feature was present in beta 2 as well.

Yes. The DND while driving feature was there. What I am talking about is having to click the “I’m not driving” button to unlock the phone. This behavior was NOT present for me in beta 2. As I stated, my car system is not compatible with Apple CarPlay so the functionality was inconsistent at best.

I had this happen a few times on beta 2. Once I was playing a voicemail and accepted a call but the vm kept playing while the call was active.

The change to the Lock screen/Notification Center looks like a little bit of improvement.

Hoping they put the Spotlight Search bar back in it, or at least allow opening Spotlight by swiping a little bit from the top.

I've noticed that if I try to do anything with a photo in a shared iCloud album (save, or send etc) it crashes photos. Can anybody confirm this problem on their phone?

Yes

Anyone else already noticed that the Intelligent Dark Mode thing now works. (Don’t know how it‘s really called in English )

Before it used to change the colors of all emojis and cover in the music app for example, but that works now.

Smart Invert Colors works slightly better now. In Messages, the emojis within a conversation are correctly rendered now, but in the list of all your messages, the emojis are still improperly rendered with inverted colors.

Also, unfortunately, photos in Safari or apps (Facebook, Twitter, etc) are still improperly rendered with inverted colors as well.

On iPad you can 4 finger swipe between apps again

 

[iPhonetherefore]

Since installing I have had 4 flash/class 0 sms messages pop up saying the number is too short (or something similar). I can’t imagine that is meant to happen!

 

[Broken Hope]

I did an erase and restore of my iPad Pro 9.7" and now the News Widget is missing in the list.

 

[WB2Colorado]

TomTom Go & TuneIn radio apps now working, neither have had an update only iOS updated.

TuneIn was working in beta 2.

 

[gjpgjp]

Anyone seeing this? Strange as I haven't sent an SMS message.

 

[john991]

iMessage App Store crashes for me when doing a search when within iMessage. This happened in beta 2 too.

Anyone else have this problem?

 

[thatJohann]

The low volume is easily fixed by unpairing/pairing the AirPods.

It seems to me that this beta is a nice step up from beta 2. Seems to me that the phone doesn’t get as warm as it uses to. Anyone else noticed that ?

Yeah 7+ finally running cool.

Seems quite stable and fast on my 10.5, though I’ve only been using for about 4 hours.

Hoping they put the Spotlight Search bar back in it, or at least allow opening Spotlight by swiping a little bit from the top.

Yeah that’s definitely changed. Pull down from top goes to all notifications instead of separate NEW notifications and then swipe up for OLD notifications. A swipe up from the bottom pulls the notifications screen back out of the way instead of in DB2 you had to press home button

They flagged it as intentionally, i will keep spamming them regarding this though. No iOS 11 update without it on my iPhone 7 Plus

I’m not upgrading until they incorporate Flash into OS

 

[amill9601]

Here are two things I found:
The flashlight toggle is now blue when turned on(like how it was in beta 1), and the airdrop “sheet” got a UI update.

 

[jgelin]

Yeah 7+ finally running cool.

Thank heavens, mine could almost warm my coffee when plugged in and backing up.

 

[Ossyref]

Yes. The DND while driving feature was there. What I am talking about is having to click the “I’m not driving” button to unlock the phone. This behavior was NOT present for me in beta 2. As I stated, my car system is not compatible with Apple CarPlay so the functionality was inconsistent at best.

This worked consistently for me in beta 2
