Text shortcuts/replacements now work in third party keyboards.

From the release notes:

Control Center
New Features

• Tapping the Wi-Fi button in Control Center now disconnects from the current network and temporarily disables Wi-Fi networking. (32299242)​

That should make a lot of people happy.

it feels like this was present in previous betas?

This was in beta 4 too

Sure. Also, my ‘Phone’ notification count is not only incorrect, but also not within the red dot.

Thanks! Definitely a lot darker compared to iOS 10.3.3. Subtle change but looks cleaner somehow and matches the camera icon shade which it didn't on 10.3.3.

3D Touch lag is still there on iPhone 7.

Ah, good to know. Any idea what they mean by "temporarily disables Wi-Fi networking".... is it only for a set time or something? Or is it back to behaving like in iOS 10?

Seems just waiting it out works now. Same issue on mini 4 but just let it sit and finally asked to install. Interesting after the "preparing" finally finished, it went to the "checking for updates" then popped up the install button. These OTA updates have been a bit weird in these betas for sure.

Yeah, OTA has been very glitchy. Definitely unusual compared to all the past betas and even public releases. iOS 11 just doesn't like OTA.

Nationwide UK banking app works (worked in B3, crashed in B4, works again now in B5).

 

[uandme72]

Can anyone check and confirm whether notifications appearing for favorited folder mails?

 

[viettanium]

Noticed that too, it is new. Wonder what it means?

AirPlay Option

 

[Tom8]

The dots in text field for passcode unlock are now white whereas they used to be black. It’d always annoyed me that they were black on previous betas as they were hard to see against the default wallpaper.

A bug I’ve noticed is the Recent Apps bar in the dock no longer seems to be showing up

Edit: Recent apps is back after a restart

Date on the calendar icon is now bold.

temporarily disables Wi-Fi networking

I noticed this. I usually disable WiFi if I get into my car and know I'll be streaming from Apple Music, because sometimes Apple Music gets confused if it finds it switches connections and stops playing. But I noticed that whenever I got home (or somewhere I can automatically connect to WiFi) iOS switches WiFi back on for me. Didn't know if this was a feature or a glitch.

This has been the case since beta 1.

 

[LeoNatan]

Reminders app still has the bullet points on the right side of the icon for me

Actually, they are on the ... wrong side ... of the icon.
YEEEEEAAAAAHHH........

Found a bug, as soon as you lock your phone press the lock button to turn your screen back on and your background will be black. If you screenshot it your screenshot will show the background despite it not being there

Wow, okay, thnx

When is Apple going to allow us to update via cellular? Not having wi-fi when these drop is torture

Starting July 23 2019

Yeah, I went back to look and it's also in the Beta 4 release notes. (Oops).

I don't suppose you use the Shell points app for petrol? Wonder what its like in B5. Its been rubbish in all other betas and crashing. lol. I love the 'fill up and go' bit.

Maybe because it’s a beta. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Go back to the stable build and enjoy your non laggy 3D Touch!
