iOS 12.2 Beta 1 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[gwhizkids]

Still Public beta is not released? to me, still showing 12.1.3 beta 4.

Dev beta released on Thursday. Public beta never released same day as dev beta of point release. The next day was Friday. Betas almost never released on Fridays and certainly the first public beta would not be. Today is Saturday. Tomorrow is Sunday. Not going to happen either of those days.

Monday. Maybe.

Anyone else viewing Macrumors forums having them load and post very slowly on Tapatalk? Almost unusable.

Does someone have the beta on the iPad Air 2? How is it? I’ve resorted my Air 2 to the latest iOS final and have many lags and bugs

I’m not using Tapatalk, but there are times when doing a forum search I’m getting a network connection lost message in Safari. I’m not losing my internet connection. Not sure that has to do with beta or with the issue you’re experiencing? It has happened randomly.

Yep, happens to me sometimes. Early this morning (UK time) it was barely usable at all.

Which profile? Dev or public?

Dev. It's weird. I've never not gotten one for this long.

Did Connect get moved somewhere else in AM? I don’t see it at the bottom of the For You section anymore*.

* and I’m totally okay with this lol

Now you‘ve been able to configure downtime on a daily basis, I wish this would be also possible for DND.

I believe this is related to MacRumors upgrading their forum. I've also experience it when searching for keyword and sometimes editing wiki page or posting it will take awhile. https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/macrumors-forum-upgrade-2019.2166775/#post-27034272

Has anyone been able to confirm whether the CarPlay/Bluetooth in-car signal not updating issue has been resolved with 12.2? I’ve kinda jumped off the beta bandwagon recently, but might jump back in to do some testing if it appears to be working.

Yes I have noticed this since Tapatalk was last updated. I also noticed that as I’m scrolling it’s easier to tap on the advertisements causing a second window to open in safari or in the App Store. It’s so frustrating that I’m considering to pay the premium price for Tapatalk just to get rid of the ads.

Not sure if this is new to this beta (or even 12.x) but when connecting to my Apple TV via screen mirroring, the two overlapping rectangles in CC flash back and forth until the connection has been established.

Sorry if this is old news. Just noticed this morning and thought it was pretty fancy.

Could someone please try a flyover in apple maps? On my iPad Pro 2018 when in Gyroscope mode before pressing Start City Tour, the 3D map can be all over the place including spinning uncontrollably if I move the iPad a bit. It fixes itself and starts the actual flyover fine when I press Start City Tour. For the record, this was on New York and London.

The issue is there on my iPhone XS Max but to a much lesser degree.

I will get it reported.

Any help appreciated, ta muchly.

Edit: I should add that other gyroscope enabled apps work absolutely fine so I don’t think it’s a fault with the iPad.

Could someone try this for me please? It should only take a minute.

Same issue on my iPhone XS.

 

[StumpyBloke]

Same issue on my iPhone XS.

Thanks, is it completely mental and random? It’s almost perfect on my iPhone but unusable on my iPad. I’ve reported it to Apple anyway.

 

[tosbsas]

Did you get it resolved? Seems like signing out of iCloud and signing back in clears that up.

Have heard that but loosing all the Downloaded Music and dunno What else Makes me Kind of doubting

 

[BeauGiles]

Did Connect get moved somewhere else in AM?

Apple killed Connect altogether a little while back.
[doublepost=1548549771][/doublepost]

usually there is a “Touch ID” option right under the credit card image for me since I don’t have an iPhone XS with FaceID. This beta strangely does not show it and thus I’m unable to use Apple pay

Just hold your phone near the terminal with your finger over Touch ID - that should 'open' Wallet, authenticate, and paid.

Does nothing happen when you hold your phone near a terminal?

yeah ios 12 is mega boring, all i wanted was home bar hide

iOS 12 was a boring release because they had to focus on performance as after 3 major iOS releases (I think iOS 9 was also a performance focused release?), things were starting to slow down on older devices and even newer devices. iOS 13 will be the big one now that they got the performance-focused release out of the way. But, don't expect the ability to hide the home indicator in iOS 13 either. It was there with iOS 11 and it stayed with iOS 12 as well, so I don't see iOS 13 adding the ability to hide it. At this point it's an iconic indicator and its a very good visual cue. So Apple most likely won't be doing that. Anyways iOS 13 should be major since it's going to have the features that were planned to be in iOS 12 but were later postponed, plus loads more, along with the rumored design overhaul. So you only have to wait until early June to be able to get that goodness.

Reproduced on my iPhone XS and just submitted a bug - please do the same!

Added ability to customize Downtime in Screen Time by the days of the week

Please, Apple, for the love of all that is holy, bring this to Do Not Disturb so we can have different DND schedules for weekday vs weekend! I have sent so many feedback requests for this improvement.

Thanks for checking. And already reported.

Strange it doesn’t reproduce on my iPhone but is completely on unusable on my iPad.

Homebar was introduced with ios 11 so that doesnt count. And ios 12 was a performance focused release so no visual changes were expected. I think we will get rid of the homebar in ios 13.
