[Banglazed]

Darn, no modem or carrier changes it seems, ah well.

Ah, the Amtrak app issue is with the app, not the beta. Many, many reviews indicating same issues I have.

Carrier Version for sprint is 36.0 on my XS Max

Not sure if it's a bug, maybe is, but now whenever I have played some video from safari, what I was playing is on the lock screen. I have to close out that page for it to go away or browse to another page that I didn't play a video on. Had it in beta 3 and now this one, not on 12.1.4 and below.

 

[Donga120]

AGREED! The wifi is so terrible, otherwise its a solid beta.

Mine does the exact same thing! Was beginning to think I was nuts.

Gonna jump on this beta, will report feedback if you're not on already.

 

[homohurre123]

Is the Volume bug in the Remote from Control Center Fixed?
And and changement to the Remote itself?

 

[H3LL5P4WN]

Or like the new Slack icon and Google app/Assistant

I'd rather they have it nice instead of looking out for other apps (not saying they were)

I haaaaaate the new Slack icon. lol

 

[sbailey4]

I get the sending back part, but who's to say the bugs weren't squashed? Seems to be a backward looking nomenclature scheme, not forward looking.

Not necessarily meaning it was “sent back” but more like 7 different commits. Could have been developers working on different branches and issues for this same build. It is several builds higher than B3 so probably several different areas touched.

FaceID has gone back to slower unlocking beta 3 was super fast, there's now a delay again

May just be the unlock animation. I don’t really see any difference between b3 and others other than the lock icon is certainly faster.

So, in other words, not necessarily indicative of problems. In my mind, if they released it, they deem it "good enough" to release outside the Apple sandbox.

Is this lock screen battery icon new or am I imagining it?

I’m sure it’s more rounded now than before

 

[macintoshmac]

It seems some carriers have received a good update. In India, Jio is now at 36.0 too.

 

[s2mike]

It’s always bothered me that the “Frequently Used” section of the emoji keyboard isn’t titled “Recently Used.”

The emojis that appear there are not, in fact, ones that are used frequently. It’s just the 30 most recently used ones.

Just curious...what is important about the carrier updates/what are they?

 

[Donga120]

Just curious...what is important about the carrier updates/what are they?

It's everything to do with Cellular. Connectivity, speed, phone etc

 

[19SK91]

Health app looks newer to me like the heart is bigger...

I‘ve compared them and the heart is the same size as before.

And since no one posted the new tv remote icon, here it is:

 

[cflasche]

I don't know if this is just me, but I hate how the Control Center Apple TV remote doesn't have 10 seconds ahead/behind buttons anymore. I use that all the time, and I wish they'd add those buttons back.
[doublepost=1551730636][/doublepost]There's also a new look for the notification screen content player.

 

[john991]

Fido carrier - 36.0
Bell carrier - 36.0

Looks the same to me on my old crappy work phone that isn't on beta program.


Edit...here’s the current one...

 

[Blue Hawk]

I hope the notification and WiFi problems are fixed.

But it’s got 15 seconds forward and back according to that pic right? Or is that an old pic?

 

[cflasche]

The player on the lock screen yes, but not the actual control center remote.

 

[StumpyBloke]

The player on the lock screen yes, but not the actual control center remote.

Ah right. So the old one did but this doesn’t? Report it. I would prefer them there too.

 

[Banglazed]

Public beta is out

 

[cflasche]

Ah right. So the old one did but this doesn’t? Report it. I would prefer them there too.

Yes. I reported it.

 

[Donga120]

Haptic feedback not working for me. Will try a restart. Its enabled in Settings.
