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

[VSMacOne]

Cellular data shows actual information from carrier. T-Mobile iPhone 7 Plus

cool find. I can’t get it to show up for ATT. Anyone else?

 

[Chazzle]

Anyone else experiencing an issue where you can't change the start or end points of a Live Photo in Photos?

Just checked it’s working fine on my 7.

 

[Ayeyotone]

Files no longer plays flac music files

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.

When you scroll (in messages, per say) it reverts the colors back to the blue tint. Plus it's laggy as hell. Still broken. No thanks.

Shows just fine for me

Smart Invert Colors. Hopefully this sort of work is used for dark mode if there will be one.

Echo effect in Messages is broken. Has a white box behind all the echoing text bubbles.

The old style was better, the new style is blown up as if a blind person was trying to determine today's weather.

So you saw a post and someone convinced you. Now everyone who disagrees or can't see a difference is blind? Our society in a nutshell.

It's a beta though. Hold out and wait till final.

I know it is too soon to tell. But I would love to know whether the battery drain has been fixed. My 7+ would be almost dead by 3 pm on PB.

It's too soon to tell

iCloud Message Sync now includes a counter of how many items are left to sync.

 

[earthdog]

Anyone else lose all their Favorites in the phone app? There were there right before the update made a few calls. Post update they are all gone. Poof.....

 

[macintoshmac]

Thank god for this!

And the mortal iOS Team, of course.

If I click on it, it just takes me back to the Setting main page. Weird. You may be right. But how do you connect a phone to a TV?

This guy here plus an HDMI cable

iOS 11 now supports removing activation lock by entering your previous PIN.

Previous as in the one before the most recent passcode? Definitely not as secure, especially if you don't use Touch ID, much more guessable.

Files app can still share mp3 file to Music in this beta. Still a weird "New Post" popup and the file doesn't appear in Music though.

They better bring back 3D Touch Multitasking

They are not going to. Apple has already said that they removed the feature.

Beta 3 is where I'm jumping onto iOS 11 beta for the first time, but I noticed right away the Weather app didn't have location permissions, so it wasn't showing local weather. Had to turn on permission from Settings, and even then the Today view stayed on another city's weather.

Just checked it’s working fine on my 7.

Thanks, my friend. Full restore coming right up!

 

[dypeterc]

Visual voicemail completely nonfunctional and replaced with a "Call Voicemail" button in the middle of the page (AT&T carrier)

Same here. T-mobile. Trying a restart.

 

[ajiuo]

Seriously? You won’t update your software over that?

I can actually see why the removed it. It sucked and was to hard to use... especially with a case.

Echo effect in Messages is broken. Has a white box behind all the echoing text bubbles.

Works fine on my iPhone and iPad. Try a reboot
[doublepost=1499712138][/doublepost]

Anyone using AirPods/bluetooth might want to hold back, very nasty bug is cutting off bluetooth within seconds to a minute of streaming audio.

Edit: It persisted through a reboot but just toggled airplane mode and working for now.

Been listening to music on my iPad Pro for 20 mins and iPhone for 20mins to test. Neither cut out once using AirPods. Works perfectly fine.

Workflow still crashes with contact related stuff. :/

Files app can still share mp3 file to Music in this beta. Still a weird "New Post" popup and the file doesn't appear in Music though.

I’m pretty sure that the Music option in the share sheet is meant for artists and allows them to make a new post to their Apple Music Connect feed. I don’t think this has anything to do with manually adding audio files to your music library.

On another note: is it just me or is there no way to view or leave ratings for podcast in the newly redesigned Podcasts app? Not sure if I’m just missing it somehow because this could be a pretty big oversight on their part.
