iOS 11 Developer beta 8 — Changes, Issues, and so on

[onepoint]

I'm so silly, the only reason why I'm not putting iOS 11 beta on my 7 Plus is because YouTube red stops playing in the background when I use Tapatalk. It doesn't do that in 10.3.3. I sent a bug report but it's probably so niche, it may not get fixed.

Google wants you to continue paying for YouTube Red (or start paying if you're on a trial) - they'll get it fixed

Or just use Siri... works just fine

Are you kidding me? I’m gonna use 1000 procedures to turn off wifi whenever I want?

Ok I’ve really had it with Apple this time.. it’s the last beta and they didn’t listen to us.

WHY THE F*CK did they not change the WiFi toggle in the control center to turn the whole chip off, not just disconnect from the network!!?!?!?!? WHY? what’s the f*cking point of having it there if it doesn’t do SH*T? Should we make a petition topic on that??? C’mon now!

Or a couple taps to go into settings? I quite like it this way. If I disconnect from one I don’t have to remember to reenable when I go somewhere else.

Mostly personal preference.

I find the new behavior useful, myself. I guess Apple is making clear they want users to keep the wifi radio enabled.

edit: although I can see a case for 3D Touch providing a choice (along with 3D Touch on display brightness allowing access to auto-brightness toggle, next to the night shift toggle they already included)

No, I have it. It's called Siri and Search now.

I’m “General“ settings?

Agree on the edited part of your post. That’s exactly how it should be.. or a choice in the settings.. Common sense Apple!

True. If anything once the GM comes out, if it still has problems I can contact YouTube and Tapatalk developers.

Worse case is I'll stay on 10.3.3 until it gets fixed. That little reminder of an update would drive me crazy but everyone has priorities.

Mine is playing music from YouTube red while forum surfing!

Hope they fixed the lockscreen bug from beta 7

 

[mkrizan4]

But did you know that chip turned on = battery drain, pooof

 

[pudge104]

Still no grey bar at the top of control center.

 

[jamiebrown6]

I still have the bug when you unlock to the home screen a blue bar at the top comes down and flashes very quickly before moving up again as the animation completes. Anyone else?

 

[d245770q]

Please roll back to 10.3.3 before you have a stroke or something.

Seems to be ok for me whether on the lock screen or at home/in app.

Sounds like something is grabbing location just as you unlock. Can you kill off all your apps, perhaps restart the device and see if its still doing it?

Buddy, chill a little bit. Here is a post I’ve made a while ago. To sum it up: Apple is absolutely right to hamper users from toggling WiFi off. Give it a read...
“Nah, it’s much better now. In regards to Airplane Mode, it is meant to prepare your phone to take off and be used inside an airplane. The only thing you shouldn’t use on airplanes is cellular connection, the whole idea that WiFi or Bluetooth (lol, such a tiny, tiny, drop-in-the-ocean of a connection) can interfere with airplanes is a proven myth. Why should Airplane Mode disable Bluetooth and WiFi?
Also, in regards to keeping Bluetooth and WiFi on while just disconnecting them from their current WiFi and Bluetooth connections, newer versions of Bluetooth use very little energy, the energy savings shouldn’t be more than 1% to 2% out of the total battery life. WiFi also uses very little energy nowadays.
On the other hand, if you turn off your Bluetooth and WiFi you won’t be able to use continuity, to connect your headphones to Apple’s W1 chips, you won’t be able to use AirPlay, you won’t be able to send files through AirDrop, you won’t be prompted to use your iPhone or iPad as a remote control for the Apple TV, and so forth.
Do you know how annoying it was when I turned airplane mode on and off to search for cellular connection (or inside a plane) only to find that my AirPods stopped playing? Now THAT’S bad design.
Apple is just teaching us how to use things correctly, and taking us away from the myths of the past (such as WiFi and Bluetooth influencing airplanes lol, or that Bluetooth draaaaains your battery life).”
Also, if you keep WiFi off your location is much less precise. We should thank Apple for encouraging the right use of their devices.

Absolutely nailed it.

Beta 8 dont fox any of my current bugs. Sad.

 

[Enygmatic]

Nope. Probably GM but could also be 11.1

That iMessage Apple Pay/Cash will go through its beta phase, no doubt. I’d say 11.1 is the safest bet. 11.0.x build may reinstate the iMessage Cloud Syncing, though.

Why turn it off when its not connected it does not use any battery just like bluetooth

Because if you disconnect from lets say your home network.. the chip is still on.. you head to a different location such as a store.. like Target.. you've previously connected to their network and because the chip is on it will automatically connect to that network. Now that's a public network, one you probably didn't want to connect to automatically, now you just did without knowing because your phone is in your pocket as you walk around the store. Can you change the settings in your wifi history to say don't automatically connect to that network? Yes.. but how many know about that? For simplicity it would be easier to just 3D Touch on the Wifi button, disconnect from network, disconnect all wifi. Those are the 2 options that should be added. Unfortunately Apple has not added that as an option. I definitely can see why people would be upset. This isn't a how much battery power is being used as it is what networks am I connecting to and how to prevent it.

 

[strategicthinke]

I am so thankful for this feature. Why are you trying to turn off the whole thing?

It is SO much better now. I’m also thankful.

 

[s2mike]

I love the way the WiFi Control Center toggle works.

Literally all you have to do is press the button twice. Once to disconnect, once again to turn wifi off lol

That doesn't turn it off, it only disconnects from the wifi connection you are connected to.

 

[mariusignorello]

I may be wayyyy off but I think they updated the charts in Apple Health. These look different to me (but I’m not always the most observant)

Yep they did. Not sure which beta provoked the change. I like the new ones.

 

[Just There]

Or just use Siri... works just fine

I don’t use Siri, but this intrigued me, so I tried it. Works great to turn Wi-Fi off. Problem is it doesn’t work to turn it on because....no Wi-Fi. Made me giggle.

iMessage Cloud Syncing should have some beta testing as well so we might see it in 11.1 or 11.2 update. If there is 11.0.1 it'll include only bugfixes.

 

[BrettApple]

Didn't know a WiFi toggle could ever be such a big deal... Anyway I'm just hoping the battery life improves, last beta I had the notes app suck down 45% of my battery over a few hour period while locked in my pocket. Kinda random.

I did want to post just one thing because it happened once and I've never seen it since or seen it anywhere else. When I unlocked my phone the icons weren't arranged like normal and in fact had blank space between them and were scattered all over the place in no particular order. Anyone ever see this before? Almost looks like I jailbroke it and used some springboard tweaks, haha.

Animations can be choppy on my iPad Pro 9.7 when opening Safari, only seems to occur if I open then close a folder first, then open Safari. The opening animation is choppy.

Animations mostly seem fine on my iPhone 7.
