iOS 11 Beta 4: Changes, Bug Fixes, Enhancements, etc.

[Ptitfredd]

I believe it's how it's meant to work unless they change it by the time iOS 11 is finalized. All of those hidden photos are only viewable in the Hidden album.

Yeah, but the "hidden" album doesn't exist anymore.
And you should see those "hidden" pictures on other albums, if located there.

Editing sharing extensions window no longer goes full screen.

Battery life for me on B4 has been great so far. Phone isn’t getting hot, and I’ve had 6hrs usage out of mine today (7 Plus).

my screen brightness at 100% is not as bright as it used to be (iPhone 7 Plus)

Have you checked in Accessibility in Settings under “Reduce White Point” what that is set to?
In iOS 10 it used to be 25% by default. In iOS 11 it was at 80% at my devices.
Reduce to your liking and you’re good to go.

Thanks! Mine was at 89%!!

My Apple news app 3D Touch is still an empty box. Tried deleting and re-installing but it ain’t working.

This widget is not supposed to work in the future as far as I know.

Anyone who uses Tweetbot 4, are you able to search anything? Or does it just have a line through the search bar?

I'm experiencing the same thing - I figure the dev will get it sorted by the time of the official launch.

Anyone else having general issues with resprings or the phone freezing on a very dark lock screen, not responding, etc? I suppose I could do reset all settings but I'd rather not.

It's working for me on my iP7+.

 

[Shirasaki]

It's working for me on my iP7+.

It no longer loads anything else but one source “mamina something” long time ago for me, way before iOS 11 era. I think it is like, iOS 10.0.1.

Line through the search bar here

Same issue here, until it’s fixed you can double tap the search tab icon (magnifying glass) on the tab bar to invoke keyboard.

Just saw (and reported) an issue that hasn't happened to me before: the status bar (top information bar with carrier, signal strength, time, battery, etc) disappeared when exiting an app and returning to the home screen. It was still present in apps, just not on the home screen. Reboot solved the issue.

Generally finding PB3 far, far more stable for me than PB2.

 

[digitalexplr]

Yes, mine is now showing today’s date.

Same here. It was showing June 20. Now is showing the correct day. Just started doing so today.

 

[ichii]

Did beta 4 fix the unable to downloading App from the App store issues?

It got fixed, if anyone was wondering.

That’s happened to me a lot over the past 3 betas actually. Thanks for reporting.

The new apple update: updated without my permission and changed my security preferences so that I could not longer work with my school work. There were major compatibility issues. The issue was extremely frustrating for me because a password would work on a website for one computer but not another. This cost many many hours of time and long phone call with apple technical support to get the issue resolved.

I don’t believe you are in the right forum. I also don’t believe a few other things.

Losing keyboard in messenger after clicking on a picture that is sent to me .. Have to hard reset to get it back .. anyone else running into this ??

 

[dictoresno]

I noticed mine isn't synching between my Mac running High Sierra and my 7+ running iOS11...so yeah, I guess it's a bug related to iCloud

my photo sync from iOS 11 to Sierra works, but its spotty and doesn't sync all the photos completely up to date. photos I took hours ago for example finally showed up on my Mac using Sierra, but the rest of them still haven't. I see a spinning wheel everytime I open the photo app on the phone, so I assume its trying to upload them.

but usually, with iOS 10 and Sierra, the pics show up within seconds of taking the pic.

That icon means that the app is showing in the dock because you frequently use it at that time of day. It is a Siri Suggestion. There’s another one for apps that you use at a particular location. That one has the location arrow that you see in the status bar if an app is using location services.

Wow! That’s fantastic and a truly great use of AI for the everyday things

General --> appstore --> automatic downloads: 4th bullet point: install system data files and secutity updates: was checked --> I unchecked it
the developer for the software I was using went from "identified" to "unidentified"
changes occurring with running java simultaneously
The ability to run the program required flash and Java
On my windows desktop there was no problem...and on my ipad there was no problem, but on the macbook pro... (big issue)
Safari secutity preferences: --> allow unidentified developers

You are in the WRONG forum. This is an iOS forum, you need to be in the MacOS forum.
