iOS 12 Beta 3 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[stoopkidblues]

iPad lock screen now has line indicating where the control center can be found like on iPhone X. Don’t remember seeing it in dev 2

It was there in beta 2 (I almost want to say the first beta as well but for sure beta 2)

I can definitely second this review on the iPhone SE with iOS 12. 12 makes my iPhone SE feel like new again. Everything loads faster and overall performance has improved, even when it’s just a beta.

even when it’s just a beta.

Just using this comment as a launch point...

Given that iOS 12’s main ‘feature’ is improved performance, it would be inconceivable to me that they wouldn’t have achieved this by the time it reached beta. It would be considered a failure, an empty promise, if they hadn’t. In other more feature packed releases, it’s reasonable to believe that the beta period might be used to refine performance after a relatively carefree period of packing in features. But in iOS 12 it just wouldn’t make sense that we wouldn’t see the improvements they announced.

Besides, has there ever been a time when a major release’s betas were slower than the previous major version and wasn’t also slower in its GM form? Really? I feel like this idea betas are just slower just cos they’re betas really needs to be examined.

P.S. it’s feeling very nice on my iPhone 8.

As far as I know, when you install a beta, a service for buglogging will be installed and logs and logs and logs. This results in negative impact on performance overall.

I could be totally wrong but I‘m sure I have read about this.

 

[GreyOS]

I’m sure it’s true but I don’t think it’s significant or has explained much in the past. For example it didn’t explain many apps opening more slowly in iOS 11 betas compared to 10.3.3 because it was also slower in GM

 

[drgreenberg]

I beg to differ...

Still shows TOM TOM maps

They didn’t change that screen because only the Bay Area uses Apple data right now, seemlessly spliced in.

 

[GreyOS]

Has anyone found that you can’t interact with web pages in the area just above the keyboard?

To give an example, if I line up the Post Reply button as shown in my attached pic, nothing happens when I tap it, but if I scroll it up a bit it’s fine.

I think it can be significant sometimes. I think that’s one of the reasons for devices overheating, worse battery performance and etc.

iOS 12 Beta 3 seems to be more unstable than Beta 2 on my iPhone X.

Exact opposite for me. My X is performing very well. No DND issues with this beta like there was on beta 2

Nice! I had already preemptively restarted once more after the update to fix the iMessage registration thing. I wonder if just the restart is enough? Or had you already tried that?

I had tried that

Anyone have this?

I'm in Italy and no icon like this. Maybe region related?

I'm in Guatemala and have the link's option there .

 

[victormorenos]

I’m having issues with WiFi connection... very inconsistent

Same problem. No more private mode

Same here, since beta 2

 

[Sid777]

No public beta 2 yet?

 

[roncron]

I guess no pb on the 4th

First PB came out nearly a week after DB2. Us PB’ers will probably have to wait a few more days.

But is that so bad? The developers get a few days to find out what works and what’s broken, so we can make a more informed choice about whether to dive in.

 

[Steve J0bs]

Yes, a number of posters have said they have this issue.

Been having this issue since beta 2. Hopefully a fix soon. A reset and restore solved the issue for a few minutes.

Screen time isn’t working for me on iPhone X.

 

[memoriess]

I finally got my screentime working, but how come after a certain time it will not fetch data? Any ideas?

How did you get your screen time worrking again, mine still crashes like hell

 

[memoriess]

i just turned it off and on... and does screen time fetch datas only when you are on WiFi?

so weird... how do screen time actually fetch datas? the last update I got was 6:02am and until now no data is available (its 2:56pm over here)

 

[juanmaasecas]

Very good battery life in this beta! Anyone else? No issues so far, working great on my X!

I am in Australia and I have that icon. What is interesting is I cannot generate link, saying unknown error.

Updates page in appstore is buggy. White page every time I try to fetch new updates, and suddendly, without a precise workflow, the page show the updates.

 

[heiskanenej]

I got my screen time working with clean iTunes install, no backup restored. Lots of work, but now it really works.

Is there any Dark Mode function on not?

There is no Dark Mode in iOS.
