iOS 12 Beta 10 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[GreyOS]

Posted previously that my Hey Siri didn’t appear to work any more.
Bit more testing and realised it was only working when on power.
I thought this requirement had gone several versions ago?
Is this a new feature again in IOS12?
It’s on my 1st gen iPad Pro 12.9

Really annoying as was anout to buy several automation devices to control with Siri!

“If you have an iPhone 6s or later, iPad (6th generation), iPad Pro 12.9-inch (2nd generation), iPad Pro (10.5-inch), or iPad Pro (9.7-inch), you can use "Hey Siri" whenever you want. You can also say your request as soon as you start holding the Home or Side button. Release the button to let Siri know when you’re done. iPad Pro 12.9-inch (1st generation) doesn't support these features. iPhone X has a Side button instead of a Home button.”

I feel some battery drain on iPhone. And sadly on watch 4.3.1. I must verify if it is not due to a new watchOS app installed recently.

Anyone else?

Laggy on keyboard is still present in some apps/moments. And CarPlay keeps being pretty slow when starts navigation, or Spotify, or doing whatever that requires a little bit more cpu than normal.

Nevertheless it is pretty better than iOS 11.

iBooks stopped syncing reading progression, bookmarks and notes between my iPad Pro 10.5 and iPhone X - started happening within the last 1 or 2 betas. Signing out of iCloud and signing back in on iPad had no effect.

Also, removing the book (“Remove download”) and re-downloading it (from both devices) resulted in restoring their respective progression - e.g. the iPad restored its own progression (bookmarks, notes, etc.), while the iPhone X restored its own separate, different progression.

I don’t think iCloud is confused about having multiple copies of the same book - for the books I tested, they only appear as a single entry in my Library.

It feels like iCloud is keeping track of reading progression and bookmarks for each book separate by device. I really hope this is not intentional.

Update: This issue (at least for me) affects both iBooks store-bought books, as well as my own manually added .epub books.

Are they both running iOS 12? It won't sync read position with iOS 11

Yes, both devices were on iOS 12. But I have good news - today's update (which I think most people assumed only fixed the annoying "Please update.." pop-up), actually fixed the iBooks sync'ing issues I was having! Keeping my fingers crossed that this fix persists into the GM.
