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

[RSmith2023]

Anyone else seen a report of this? I have a Logitech keyboard case w/smart connector on my 9.7” iPad Pro. I get this prompt to “update” every time I connect it regardless of if I choose update or cancel. It’s been present since beta 1

Switching off the Bluetooth and WiFi in Control Centre shows them as switched off in the Control Centre, but they remain switched on the Settings.
Anyone can clarify.

This is intended behaviour as per the release notes.

Stupid question:

I see that you can now drag and drop things (pictures, web links, etc).

Is this something that can only be used on the iPad? I see that I can drag pictures around in iMessage, but have no clue why that functionality exists on the iPhone.

On the phone you can drag and drop within an app. So, move some text and images between one note and another for example. Your drag selection disappears if your try to switch apps however.

I feel like this should be posted on every page: RESET ALL SETTINGS! Everybody who is having issues beyond those listed in the first post, needs to try Reset All Settings. It will in most cases fix any strange bugs that are not part of the known beta bugs.

That doesn’t always help. I’ve never had luck with it in the past... that’s why I didn’t try it. It’s a pain to set everything up again.

Ah, ok. I was only playing around with it in iMessage and couldn’t figure out what in the world the point of that was.

"Not much" is the answer, in my opinion. Perhaps a little easier to move some types of content in some apps.

I’m going mad. iMessage insists on capitalising the word ‘out’ if it comes before ‘of’. So if I type ‘out of’ it becomes ‘Out of’ every time. I’ve reset dictionary multiple times and it remains. I have no idea what’s caused it to think that’s correct punctuation. Any clue?? Issue has been present in PB1 & 2.

When you have Bluetooth headphones connected, the headphones icon now properly displays the battery level of the headphones next to it, as opposed to before, where it would just show the headphones icon.

Hmm. Wonder why mine doesn’t do that when AirPods are in use.

I’m seeing the same behavior with a Logitech Base. Present since b1 on 2017 12.9 IPP.

Can’t enable dictation within the messages app.

Now inside the cellular settings section scrolling is smooth. Scrolling has been laggy there since iOS 9.

Is this temporary, as in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth will eventually disable completely?

If not, this defeats the purpose of Control Center for those switches. Now to turn off those radios permanently, you have to go into Settings. Please tell me this isn't the case.

Does anyone get an error when deactivating and reactivating iMessage?

 

[ATalkingRock]

Actually, before you go and record the screen can you check the setting in Settings->Touch ID & Passcode-> Reply With Message?

Edit: @Type4O and @ATalkingRock. What device are you both using?

I’m using an iPhone 6 and reply with message is turned on in the Touch ID settings!

Seems to be an issue on non 3D touch devices in the phone form factor. Someone in another thread seeing it on iPod touch too. Bummer Best if you report it.

It shows the battery level even in iOS10 for other Bluetooth headphones. The (likely) reason for not showing AirPods there is because it's available in Notification Centre.

Do any other IPhone 6 or 5S users have the problem of not being able to quick reply to messages on the lock screen

Hi, planning to install the public beta on my 7+. I dont want to install the WatchOs beta on my Apple Watch where my 7+ is connected. Would there be any issues of having the beta on my 7+ but not on my watch? Thanks!

 

[Rogifan]

Not sure if anyone has pointed this out yet...keyboard is messed up in this beta.

 

[Sid777]

In Apple Music, now tapping on the artist name in Now Playing screen takes you to the playlist where the song is instead of the album.

For album, long press/3D touch the song in playlist and tap the top section with song title.

Not seeing any keyboard issue on iPP 9.7 or 6s.

Works fine for the most part. I’ve had one incident where the phone “lost” the watch and I stopped receiving notifications and activity data stopped syncing. Had to reset and restore the watch from backup to restore functionality and subsequently lost two days worth of activity data. No issues since.

Have you tried to turning “Auto-Capitalization” in the keyboard setting or turning off all and test if any is the cause?

Yeah whenever I do this from the lock screen (not the notification panel when you'r eunlocked) the notification bubble just shakes around horizontally and doesn't give an option to quick reply on both the message app and a third party one which usually allows it. I have the option enabled in the settings too. hmmm

Try turning off 3D Touch in Settings, hold power till you see option to turn off then release it and press home till it disappear, restart phone and turn on 3D Touch again.

 

[CaptainGomez]

Can someone try disabling and re enabling iMessage and see if it says there was an error? (Although it still appears to activate and function properly)
