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

[krishnajha]

This may have been mentioned, but I don’t see it on the front page. If you 3D Touch an icon and then slide your finger on the menu it will activate wiggle mode on my 7 plus. I’ve rebooted several times with no difference. Any others?

Thats on my 7Plus too.

Truncated widgets are definitely NOT fixed.

yup, I got those too, and a half music widget too sometimes.

 

[lucasrant]

Yes. I hoped beta 3 would fix this. My AirPods stay connected for a while, then go through a period of constantly disconnecting. I haven't had the patience to see if they finally stay connected after their fit as yet.

This is odd, I haven’t experienced this and I’ve been using my AirPods for hours today and yesterday with the new beta installed.

I've been on the beta wagon since 2011 but this is the first time that I m seeing a regression. To me, beta 1 was smooth and stable, a little slow. Beta 2 and 3 just got worse.

Music EQ settings are now properly working in Beta 3. I don’t believe they did anything in the first two betas.

In my experience, Beta 1 was slow but nothing really annoyed me. Beta 2 had only one noticeable bug (excluding the downgrade bug) on my 7+. Performance was great (both devices). None on my iPad. Beta 3, several... and the worst beta of the 3. The bug that comes up when you lock your phone, that’s a bug that will actually get on my nerves.

My fiancé is getting a lot of freezes on his 6s+ but I thankfully haven’t had any... yet.

Interesting. For me beta 2, with the broken app switcher, was comfortably worst of all. Three is fine, save for battery consumption.

Agree, 1 was best IMO. Only experienced a couple minor glitches on 1, 2 crashed all the time. 3 huge battery drain and taking screenshots is horrible.

Anyone else still have a super hot phone on beta 3? I need to take my Apple leather cover off continuously cuz it’s gets so hot it shuts off

 

[CaptainGomez]

Hi All,

Does Beta 3 support iPhone 7 smart battery case.

Thanks
Sal

It works as intended.

What is this bug?

So when my phone is on, I press the lock button and the screen just dims. It stays dim for about 3 to 5 seconds then shuts off and makes the lock sound. Phone has been hard reset. Not experiencing this on my iPad.

iPhone 7+ and iPP 9.7 Verizon

Very odd. I have an i7+ too and haven’t seen that. Haven’t seen anyone else report it either.

Just set out to reproduce it too but can’t. Does it happen every time?

 

[kmichalec]

The bug where it autocapitalizes every word when you dictate a text message or note is now fixed.

Also not experiencing the iPad not charging bug when I plug it in on B3.

At least these two bugs were fixed!

I'm getting the weird delay when locking my device as well.

iPhone 7+ on tmo

Great can’t AirPlay anything to my Apple TV anymore on this lovely beta.

Sometimes it’ll work fine but most of the time, it happens. My phone is now charging which somehow makes the bug less severe. Now it’ll be dim for probably half of a second then lock.

Lock sound also sounds like it’s being cut off majority of the time. I’ve been having that issue with all 3 betas.

Crazy stuff. I’d try a reset of content and settings and if that doesn’t work revert to 10.3.3 and then decide whether you want to go back up to the beta or not. These symptoms are not normal, even for the betas.

 

[demure84]

Anyone else having trouble downloading apps from the App Store? What a shame, this beta is absolute bollocks.

And since 2011 why haven’t you realized that betas don’t have quality standards, they’re meant for only testing purposes, they’re meant to be terrible.

Well I can deal with all of it as long as I can do what a traditional phone is supposed to do. But with beta 2, I did a fresh install just for the heck of it. Lock sound issue was still there but didn’t hear it cut off that often. With beta 3, it’s happening more often.

I’ll have to try the reset all settings option and see if that works.

 

[jfiggy77]

Yes, I’m unable to update apps or download new ones. I’ve tried all the fixes suggested online so far and nothing has fixed the issue. It was working fine this morning though and then all of a sudden this afternoon I was unable to update apps or download new ones. Resetting network settings gets the updates to download but then it regreses after a while and I have to reset network settings. One suggestion I found was to reset all settings which is the next thing I’m going to try. I have this issue on both my iPhone 6S Plus and my iPad Air 2.

Worth a try anyway. Good luck.

Has happened with me on iPhone 7 too. My father has not yet complained about anything, so it seems that 5s at least does not have it.

 

[fabianvs]

iCloud shared photos load again in beta 3 on my iPad pro 12.9!

 

[clefpac]

Weird bug where the app opening animation changes to one where the app slides in from the right side of the screen. Only way to fix it is to reboot.

Had this once with 10.x.x.

Had this on b1 and b2. On this beta it works for me. If nothing helps Update with iTunes.
