I have found a fix for my Apple News app 3D touch problem, could someone try this and report back please?
Its all tied into the size of text I had set in the settings/General/Accessibility/larger text
See the picures! LOL. Its laughable, make it one step larger than the middle position and news app 3d touch for a news article is broken.

Sure is
 
I also submitted a bug report.

The thing is all they have to do is add a "Show hidden photos in albums" switch, that default to "Off". This would make those of us who use hidden photos this way happy, and everyone else too.

But I doubt they will do it as Apple tends to be loathe to add options for things like this.

Maybe we'll be pleasantly surprised.

Amusingly I only discovered this upon upgrading my iPad to iOS 11 Beta 5; I would have never noticed this issue on my test iPhone I was using previously since it doesn't have my actual photo library on it.

An update on this: My bug report was marked as a duplicate. This makes me more hopeful that they'll fix this issue as at least the developers are seeing my comments. I really hope so as I've grown to love using hidden photos this way.
 
Screen is locking up quite a bit, first beta it’s happening for me on. It’s not totally unresponsive, it just doesn’t seem to close or lock. But I can still see animations (clock moving, “slide to unlock” animation still working), just can’t interact with them.

I do. Do you think that could be the drain?

Depends, but I asked because in case you had not, the ads might have been a drain. :)

Next up then, how many tabs? It could also be possible that caching is going on in the background. If possible, I'd suggest trying out a different blocker. Also, while I cannot quantify or substantiate, I feel it to be wise to have only 1 blocker installed and active. Do you have more than one? May be that is the issue.

If nothing helps, maybe a total restore would. Rather, it should. Again, this is just my feeling, not a carefully studied conclusion, that having more than 1 blocker would most likely degrade battery life as there would be too much for Safari to do.

I have always marvelled at how seemingly totally disconnected things bear connections that a normal user might never imagine. :)
 
Is this new to this beta? Don't remember seeing this on the previous. Could be wrong. :)

After running the first dev beta on my 10.5 Pro and having a boot glitch resulting in an Apple dealer having to restore it while away, I’ve run the last couple of PBs and things have been working nicely. I’m starting to get some annoying disconnects with my Logitech slim pro keyboard. When it happens, the pencil also disconnects. Anyone else suffering this? A reboot normally fixes, but it’s starting to get annoying...


Yeah. Logitech smart keyboard only works once for me per boot, then I have to reboot. I think locking the device once is all it takes to make it stop,working. Interestingly, it still hides the software keyboard when i commect it. But none of the keys do anything.
 
Anyone else experiencing a problem with duplicate alerts pushed to their Apple watches? I’m running PB4 on an iPhone 7. Every email I received on PB3 had two alerts pushed to my watch, now it’s more intermittent.

Also, re battery life, I am pretty pleased with his release. Both iPhone and iPad (especially iPad for me) are seeing huge gains in battery life. Trending back towards 10 hours for my iPad, which was down to 5-6 in all prior beta releases.
 
You got that totally wrong. Concerning my person I did that but it was before installing beta 3 and that‘s about one month ago. I used b3 and b4 since then and of course collected some new data. So, I could go back to my previous stable iOS 10 system, but anyway, this will mean loss of data.
That's always a risk if you jump on the beta train

I am having a similar issues. iPhone just stops responding to all touch and buttons. Have been able to get it back working by either letting it sit for a few minutes or rebooting. Any idea of what's causing this?

Just installed last night on my iphone 7 after considering it for a bit then doing all the necessary backups I dove in and glad I did. I like it. I could have swore it was labeled as Beta 4 but either way its really smooth so far. Glad for that although I do have a couple of backup devices just in case.
Wondering about the black screen issue being mentioned and forgive my lack of reading this entire thread but I've got other stuff going on. I will be looking for the black screen issue around the forums when I get a chance and how to see if I have it or not. Haven't run across it yet as far as I know.
EDIT: Ah, a quick google search and it seems the black screen issue is mostly fixed and was affecting older devices or so it said. Good to know.

If you’re on the public beta, it’s beta 4. This corresponds to developer beta 5. Apple generally releases 1-2 builds to developers before it begins seeding to public beta testers, so the two groups get different beta numbers. Even though public beta 4 and developer beta 5 are labeled differently, the software is identical since they have the same build number. So all the comments in these threads apply no matter which beta program you are a part of.

Anybody running into a bug where on certain forums if you post and use punctuation like an apostrophe it looks fine when you type it but when you post it the apostrophe converts into some funky looking characters?

It’s been happening to me since the first public beta on Slashdot. I rarely if ever post there so it’s no biggie but when I posted something on my fantasy football league forum on on ESPN’s web site it did the same thing. It’s annoying because you never know which sites it’ll happen on until you post something.
 
Can anyone kindly confirm that if passcode is set to required passcode other than immediately, once the screen dim off, it will crashed and requires to key in password every times to enter screen again. Is this a bug and cannot be solve at this moment or a hard reset on phone will back to normal? 7 plus user here.
Yes I am getting this bug when I set a passcode for 15 minutes. At least setting it to immediately is fixing it for now ! This bug was pissing me off and making the phone unusable so I am lucky I found your post!

Today it occurred to me whilst glancing at my SE’s lock-screen clock—the font appears more rounded, especially around the tops of the 1s. The design emphasis for iOS 11 is surprisingly thorough in its roundness.

On a somewhat unrelated side note, I’m pretty devastated that Apple (who giveth and who taketh away) has removed their signature and in my opinion brilliant collection of default gradient wallpapers (aka my all-time favorites). :oops: Hopefully I won’t ever accidentally change mine! :D

iOS 11 beta 5 i thought it was an LCD PROBLEM, but sometimes when you press the lock button it get dims or it looks like a shattered ultraviolet! Well i guess i should skip this beta
 
Haven’t seen this mentioned...

I can’t swipe across the buttons in control centre when the phone is in landscape.

Anyone else?
 
Smart Invert is not working properly for third party apps like FB, Twitter & Whatsapp etc. even in this beta.
 
Anyone using a Mcdodo lightning cable (the “smart” cable that shuts off when battery charged) and noticing any unusual battery drain with the cable remaining plugged in after it’s charged the battery and shut off? Have only noticed this behavior on my 7+ with beta 4 and 5.
