I like how before to swipe away apps you had to hold the x but now you just swipe to delete

New status bar layout on iPad

That's pretty conclusive proof that a notch-bearing Face ID iPad is near.

Anyone actually test Memoji? I’m curious how realistic they are.

Works good. A little laggy but expected. Needs some more options bug theres alot. Never did the bitmoji thing.

iOS 12 allows multiple face scans for FaceID. Yea!

I'm seeing the download for my X at 1.45GB others have said 2.6GB. Any ideas on this??

Depends on what version you were upgrading from, i think

came here to share this but you beat me to it lol

Is the Measure App missing for anyone else? I can find it through spotlight but I have searched every single page of my home screen multiple times and it is not showing up there.

Mine got put in a random spot on a page. Check your folders maybe

I created one of me, it's pretty good IMO

Looks like me and I had to do minimal changes, it must see how you look and create the starting point from there.

Nice! Can’t wait until the public beta comes out.

 

[adammusic]

Same here. Also can't find an app for creating Siri shortcuts

In siri & search settings

everythingapple pro uploaded a video and said on the X it feels exactly the same no speed improvements, can anyone with an X confirm that or is he wrong

Feels faster across the board

My God, animations on my iPhone X are so more fluid compared to iOS 11.4 and iOS 11.4.1 BETA1. Even within third-party apps. There is no comparison.

And this is BETA1?!

Not sure if mentioned but Passwords now shows a warning if you’re using the same pass across multiple sites.

I would agree seems smoother but not faster at all ... hard to describe .. but its pretty solid for the 1st beta .. I upgraded through Itunes and set up as new phone ..

I don't know if anyone else mentioned this, but on the iPad at least there is no longer an activity spinner when certain apps (like Photos or Safari) are using the network.

This is a bit sad as it was nice to have that as a visual indication that something was done loading.

So can we technically easily roll back to older versions now without losing data? AFAIK messages was the last thing that required a backup, they now are stored via Messages in iCloud.
Does that mean we can set up our devices as new after a restore.
...
Could this be a breakthrough? Please correct me if I'm wrong (although I hope I'm not). A brave soul out there willing to try how much a fresh start actually pulls from iCloud?

Great guestion and worthy of a separate thread. Would also like to understand any risks of iCloud side data corruption due to running early os betas. I assume Apple has safeguards but seems tricky and there are no easy ways to validate the integrity of your main iCloud data (photos, messages, health mainly).

Good luck brave souls.

I take it you just have one iPhone?

5S. Horrible!

on old devices as ipad mini 2 perforce has been increased dramatically

 

[FunkyTang]

Omg so no more holding down before swiping apps closed on X!!! Rejoice!

You Lie!

When using reachability, an arrow now appears and the UI is different.

When editing a photo in Messages, it simply vanishes. There is no way to edit it within messages.

Portrait photos from the front camera on iPhone X are REMARKABLY better, it’s incredible.
