iOS 11 Beta 6: Changes, Bug Fixes, Enhancements, etc.

[penajmz]

I’m very happy when I lock my 7 Plus I no longer have to wait like 10 seconds to unlock it or see the lock screen anymore.

 

[VSMacOne]

Do you need that animation?

It’s an observation not a complaint. Stay calm and find another thread to troll.

 

[ravenseb]

Took the plunge and setup as new. My 7+ is running like a champ on this beta

 

[christian.terra]

Bluetooth volume is very low on this beta.

 

[VSMacOne]

I am a Fan of detailed animations, but doesnt the new animation (lockscreen going up) combined with the new one („Fly in“ of icons) looks kind of messed up - what do you think?

Agreed. It seems inconsistent. Hopefully only one stays by the next beta.

They already apologized for their post being misconstrued:

I didn't offend the forum, I hope. Didn't mean to come across so. It was a lighthearted question.

Loving the new icons.
Still cannot save files in On this iPad/iPhone.

Same here - was never able to get the Files app to work as intended....on the iPad Pro 12.9 version 1

 

[Defender2010]

Same here. Force touching any icon in the CC, crashes springboard. Even after a restart.

Which iPhone? Mine works fine on iPhone 6s

It is now possible to change the color of ambiance hue lamps in various warm tones. Go to the appropriate lamp and you will now see 'color' On Home and 3D touch also

This has been here all along.

Auto brightness seems to be mandatory now. No option in settings anymore

Settings > General > Accessibility > Display Accommodations > Auto-Brightness

Also the clock face looks different with bolder numbers.

App Store had a Pencil and a brush as the downward edges in front of the horizontal before now

App Store, Maps and Clock icons have all changed.

When you disable bluetooth or wifi in control center, does it save batterylife? because wehn i disable it in control center it is still activated in settings

can someone explain this?

sorry for my bad english

What are you talking about? Your English is flawless.

Yeah, well... some of us can't sit on the forum reading everyone's posts/thoughts/complaints in real time. It takes a while to get through 300+ posts. Sorry to have inconvenienced you with my post.

I’m liking there general direction for the new icons since the first beta. Before it was about shape edges and a lot of lines. Now they are simpler and softer. I don’t really like the maps one though.

Control center and long press on any widget I get respring

If you look at the actual road map, it would appear that Apple is doing an homage to the new Apple Park campus ... I-280 is to the south... Wolfe Road crosses I-280 to the west of the circular spaceship building that is Apple Park...

Interesting, the old icon was also a reference to the Apple Campus.

Icon changes were on page 1 in the first post and in several replies below it. Also have to figure that 7 hours later people would've noticed icon changes by now...

And yes, i was greatly inconvenienced by your post

Im trying to add my new Philips Hue hub to the Home app with no luck...

Ive added the Homekit code manually but not having it show up..

Is this broken in iOS 11 or just this beta?

Just trying to figure out whether Im doing something wrong - im new to the Hue system ...although Ive paired to ghe Hue app successfully!

 

[Sid777]

Those who’ve used the beta for hours now, is the rapid battery drain still present while doing even the less intensive tasks? Device still heating up?

I updated to Beta 6 at about 1pm.

I was having HORRIBLE battery drain while streaming to a Bluetooth speaker (~2% per minute) on Beta 5. So bad that I flashed back to 10.3.3.

I’m seeing EXCELLENT battery life now while streaming or doing menial tasks.

 

[greg624]

Apple maps is not loading for me at all.

 

[mszilard]

Is the ringing/vibration present for a few seconds after answering the phone?
Did somebody try on iphone 6? Are the animations, opening/closing apps still sluggish?

 

[HylianKnight]

Why!? I always turn it off and prefer to manually adjust. Maybe something to do with the OLED iPhone.

I’m sure this has already been addressed, but autobrightness is buried in accessibility.

Settings>General>Accessibilty>Display Accomodations

the ringing/vibration bug seems gone on 7 plus in this beta. as far as on the 7 plus, the only issue I have so far is a minor delay when opening apps that haven't been opened before and minor stuttering here and there but nothing too bad.
