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

If the contacts in question used to display normally, it means your contacts are broken somehow. Disable/re-enable whatever cloud contacts you're using.

That fixed it. Thanks!

Are App Store and iTunes still saying "Cannot Connect" if you have apps from multiple countries installed?

Someone else got an exclamation "!" mark on the messages icon, because every day I got it on mines, but when I open the messages app, there is no conversation that has one, or that say something is wrong, got it since beta 1.

Nope. Is it an iMessage or SMS message that has the "i"?

Im having brightness issues, its maxed out but somehow seems stuck at like 60%. And won’t go up to full brightness. I’m using an iPhone 7

EDIT: iPad Air 2 does not have this issue

So far this beta 3 is much much much better than beta 2 and totally usable on your daily driver.

Contacts definitely messed up for me. Tell Siri to text my wife: this morning it asked me which of 12 contacts for my wife (she is in only 1 contact card) I wanted to use.

EDIT: This seems to have been fixed in Beta 3.

No, nothing says what its supposably wrong, in the messages settings all things are ok, I don't know what it is :/.

 

[rwilliams]

Dropbox is an option in the Files app. Yes!

Its so annoying after 3 betas still app store doesnt show new apps since beta 1

But how'd you know? Didn't you downgrade to 10.x within 10 minutes of using the new beta?

 

[Simacca]

Can’t download any new apps on my 10.5. Just get the spinning circle. Fine on my 6s.

Is Touch ID broken for everyone, or just me? I lost it in beta 2, and 3 has not fixed it. Also, has anyone tried to downgrade from beta 3 to iOS 10? I've not yet tried, but am hoping that this beta version made the downgrade process easier.

Do you still have the message that has the "i"? Can you open the messsage and see if its blue or green message bubbles? I remembered seeing it in beta 2 and all i did was to turn off and on iMessage.

This is interesting.

Yeah but thats first thing i looked at

 

[ck2875]

Can anyone comment on whether there is still a lot of lag when using 3D touch quick actions from the home screen? That's the one thing that made me downgrade from Beta 2.

No, its the icon on the main page, if you do 3D Touch or open the app, no message has that mark, Im going to turn off and on iMessage, the thing is, only once a day it appears, so hope it will be gone with that.

I've had it since Developer Preview 1. Never found a workaround. Expect weird things on betas - at least this one doesn't appear to affect anything

At least im not the only one, yeah I now the weird things, for me its ok, it doesn't do anything bad, and it goes away just open the app, so its ok haha.

The fix is to turn off iCloud message syncing.

You know how you can tell you shouldn't run betas?

Really how can beta 3 be worse than 2 so i guess ill stay away from it
[doublepost=1499707737][/doublepost]Ios 11 doesn't really bring anything worth it to the table so unless its as fast and smooth as 10.3.3 is no point in using ios 11

Ita safe to say beta 3 is a let down and still makes massive problems guys just use ios 10.3.3 beta 6 which is GM no point having a laggy phone for no reason

Beta 3 is terrible stay away guys go back to ios 10.3.3 in 10min of beta 3 on one device it lagged crashed and just feels so slow nothing is fixed in speed opening closing animations are slow there is no reason to have ios 11 yet nothing new to be fair

Yeah still laggy as hell cant believe apple cant fix this quickly it toke a year to make ios 10 snappy and have a feeling same for ios 11 it will be ios 11.3.2 when it feels good lol

I have to 7 pluses and tested both side by side and 10.3.3 is amazing and 11 beta 3 is still closing opening and closing apps and it crashed with in first 10min im gonna give it for time but i guess just hoped would be better than beta 2

Terrible beta to me its worse than beta 2 shame back to 10.3.3 now

I think it has something to do with iCloud sync....

Thank you, I will try that, hopefully I don't see it tomorrow morning.

Anyone having issues with AirPlay connecting to Apple TV's? Mine will connect to Airplay speakers absolutely fine but not Apple TV's either audio only or screen mirroring.

Turn off auto brightness, there's a calibration issue with the sensor. I can replicate this on iPhone 7+ and SE.
