  • Springboard: create Folder behaviour changed. Now it stays on the screen and does not open into the folder just created.
  • You can now save files from Safari to the “on My iPad” section via the share sheet. When you tap over “On my iPad”, the folder will expand, allowing you to select a subfolder to save your file. Until this beta, nothing happened.

  • Maps now allows deletion of Favorite locations without crashing

Bugs
  • Visual Voicemail still broken on EE (UK)
  • 'On this iPhone' location removed from Files app (bug or intentional?) EDIT: Not removed. This Post explains how to bring it back.
  • Widgets are truncated again. (It may load full widgets after recalling Notification Center a few times)
  • From release notes: Recents list in Phone app will fail to update, so tapping the first entry to re-dial results in dialing the second entry.
  • Third party keyboards do not pick up text shortcuts. This bug is continuing from beta 3.
  • Bluetooth icon still stays lit up as if connected to something.
  • deleting/removing apps from the “recents” side of the dock (iPad) doesn’t work anymore (NEW)
  • Editing the alarm label doesn’t show the (x) to delete text but it’s there.
  • Toolbar for PDF files in Safari Browser not showing up with "Open In <App>" and "More..." buttons
  • Mail app randomly freezes and does not respond to any action. Hard reset is currently the only option to restore its functionality.
  • Text entered into Calendar search bar is white.
  • Music still shuffles automatically with no indication that shuffle mode is either on or off
  • Maps: the lockscreen is still confusing as to whether it's locked or unlocked.
  • Maps: the phone will not always turn the screen on when a new direction is spoken. It also does not turn it back off.
  • Lockscreen: if you are viewing a photo in landscape and lock your phone, when you power the screen on, the lockscreen is half landscape, half portrait. (iPhone 7 Plus)
  • Mail App: Notifications dont show for new mails received in the favorited folders. Notifications only appear for mails received in Inbox folder.

Weird, not showing up for me, and still shows beta 3 as the latest on the Developer site
 
Mines is nearly done. I am almost to the home screen. Just a little bit left in the progress bar.
 
I'm too early :/ will come back in an hour or so to see all the interesting changes. Not making the mistake of updating to beta software again but I'm always interested to see all the nips and tucks.
 
It took a phone restart to even get the update to show up. Installing now and can't wait!!
 
Open notification from Notification Center with swipe to the right, then tap open. Left swipe to clear
[doublepost=1500916558][/doublepost]New contacts icon too. Has the two silhouettes in a circle in the middle of the grey address book
