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

[TL24]

Apologies if this was already reported in previous betas or the current one but is anyone else having Bluetooth playback issues? Connecting to my Sony XB40 (speaker) works but when playing music it tends to cut out randomly and quite often. The only fix so far is to disconnect/forget and re-pair again.

Anyone having issues with Apple News? Works fine after upgrade and fresh install. Refresh of stories is quick as it used to be.

However, after a reboot of iPhone 7, refreshing of stories is taking a very long time. Beta 6 btw.

Having issues with this too. Wasn’t sure if it was server side or not though.

What are the numbers indicated against each bug listed in the release notes?

I entered a bug report with Apple on this. Glad it's not just me.

I’m getting a really annoying issue with Feedbacks Assistant whereby I submit feedback and it sends successfully, but then like a month later the feedback will only just register as having been sent. I’ve had responses from Apple saying the reported issue is for an old build, even when I sent the feedback weeks ago. Why is Feedback Assistant not sending feedback when it claims to be and instead waiting weeks before submitting it?! If I go to my submitted feedback folder, I have about 10 really old submittals which claim to have been sent TODAY?!

SOLVED: 3D Touching Control Center crashes Springboard. To fix, turn off "Speak Screen" under Accessibility>Speech. Restart phone for the setting to go into effect.

It's unbelievable, but this one option has caused various problems going back to iOS10. In iOS10, if Speak Screen was ON, it would cause only the most recent 20 or so notifications to show up in the Notification Center; then the NC would scroll endlessly but all you'd see would be a blank screen. Try it, just don't forget to restart before the thing goes into effect.

In iOS 11 beta4 it would cause the AppSwitcher to jump to the left on opening. In iOS 11 beta 5 it was finally fixed--I reported it numerous times before. In beta 6 it causes the crash of springboard on 3D touch of CC buttons.

That fixed it indeed.... thanks....

That fixed it indeed.... thanks....

Worked for me too.. I did restore my iPhone to test it and noticed on a clean iOS 11 install I didn't have this issue. But would have never guessed "Speak Screen" would be related to it.

By the way, it also solved the issue of having home screen / Notification Center all blurred !

Found a bug maybe. Try to disalbe wifi in control center, press the power button to lock your device, than open again the control center from lock screen. Wifi is activated by itself.
Does anyone have that too?
iPhone 7

Are you closing out of Feedback Assistant before it finishes collecting the data and sending? I've had this happen before also. For some bugs, it collects a ton of logs and data before sending. That seems to hang it up in the "Outbox" on occasion.

Been having an issue for multiple betas now where my bluetooth headphones constantly beep even with no input or any time a new app opens. I am using LG HBS-800's. Tried to unpair and repair but still having the issue.

Even just unlocking the screen causes a beep.

I don’t have any favorited folders but on my devices when I have email notifications in the earlier today section of Notification Center and then receive a new email, the first email notification in the earlier today section disappears and it then shows less notifications than actual emails.

I don’t seem to have the issue with the favorites folders. The badge and notifications seem to be working properly thus far.

My issue seems to occur when I’ve deleted all emails and cleared all notifications.
After that, when I get emails in any account, the notifications will show correctly until I get another email in the same account or the emails transfer to the earlier today section of the Notification Center. When either happens, the very first email notification in each email account vanishes causing less notifications showing compared to actual emails.

I never close the app completely. It’s always open in the background. A lot of the items say they were sent in the early hours of this morning. I can’t think of any logs which would delay them by weeks. Must bean app bug. I’ll keep an eye on it and I’ve submitted feedback about Feedback Assistant - which felt a bit ironic!

Having auto brightness setting buried in accessibility -> display accommodations is going to confuse the hell out of the masses/result in a notable uptick of people coming into apple stores/calling in if it’s still like this by iOS 11.0 GM, for something that is deeply engrained in their psyche,

It’s like almost not fair to employees

Sometimes I wonder if Apple just makes decisions to mess with people.

Sorta like this new App Store call-it-what-you-will icon,

I dont really care one way or another since it doesnt impact functionality, but i dont care for it at the same time if I have to lean one way or another.

Here are some odd bugs (some recurring, others sporadic) that I've experienced, which have been reported:

1) Opening Safari after clearing History and Website Data, then attempting to tap the address bar, crashes the app
2) Tapping the "Unknown Senders" toggle in Messages displays the same list of conversations, when the page should be blank
3) Sending a text - after opening a conversation with unread messages - causes the unread dot to display again. Can only be cleared by quitting out
4) Pulling up to open Control Center causes dock icons to darken as if active, when tapped accidentally.

Other than that, Wi-Fi seems to be a bit less reliable across the board in terms of speed, and battery life isn't quite there yet. Overall, very impressed with the smoothness of this beta on my 7! Has anyone else ran into these kinds of issues?

Yup I have that too. A few of the same reports will say they were submitted today when I really sent them weeks ago. And each day the date updates.

If you dont have the problem then I would like to know the solution which am not able to understand.
Before that, let me repeat the issue so that it is clear:
In iOS 10.3.3 and earlier, whenever there was a new mail received in a folder configured a favorite, it showed a banner and also displayed notification for that mail in the Lock Screen and Notification centre.
However, ever since iOS 11 Betas no notification and banner appears for new mails which are received in any mail folder other than Inbox even if it has configured as favorite folder. The notification and banner appears only when the mail is received in Inbox.
Is this the same situation for you?

Btw, I dont have the problem of less number of mails.

 

[MarkSta69]

I tested. Your error does not happen with me.
Can you test my issue and confirm.

Been getting the same for at least 6 months or so.

So a couple of things. Battery life is on par with iOS 10 on my 6s Plus. Oddly enough, I get pictures on my contacts (if I have picture setup) on my Mazda infotainment system. That didn't exist in iOS 10.

 

[SpitUK]

I'm going to put the Beta on my iPhone 7 plus. Been using it on my iPad Pro for the last couple of weeks with no issue. Does whatsapp work ok? That's the only phone app I couldn't do without.
