I've reported it since the first beta about the Bluetooth icon not showing in the status bar when connected but no response as yet. It could be a bug or intended behavior.
Got a tip for us?

Interesting. I am able to login with no prob.. iPhone X
[doublepost=1531939726][/doublepost]This update is an improvement over beta 3 in my opinion. Been on it since yesterday. Battery life is great. No AirPods connection issues or dropouts.. (was on a 5 hour flight today.. listened to music with no interruption). GPS worked fine.. zero crashing. No dropped calls. No resprings.. no FaceTime issues as well.. on beta 3. If I left the FaceTime app and came back, the camera wouldn’t restart and ended up having to end the call and call back to get video back..
This beta is also smoother/faster.. screen time seems to have deleted all my stats and started everything over

Apple thinks the earth is round. SAD!I think this is new, but when you’re in 3D satellite mode on the iPad, the map is a globe now
Nice to have names back on my Apple Watch instead of phone numbers!
Couple bug fixes:
Reply with text when on a phone call now works normal.
Transferring from Verizon Wifi calling to regular cell phone reception now works normally. On B1-3 the phone wouldn't switch back to regular cell service until rebooting the phone.
Remaining bug:
When taking a screen shot and then discarding it still saves the screen shot to the camera roll.

Having the same issue. I've been on the public beta program since the beginning, and never had an update take this long or seem to just stop. Progress bar made it all the way once, but very slowly, and now just stopped.It's been over an hour. Suggestions?
OK, after about 1 1/2 hours, I took a deep breath and forced the phone to reboot, and then it continued and finished the update. Whew. I will never update again without backing up first.
My iMessage issues (app itself not updating, despite seeing notifications) seems to have been fixed on my 6+. Thank Steve.
Edit: maybe not quite. It's not as bad though. FaceTime crashes upon connection, though, so I think I have to go back to iOS 11 regardless.

This was introduced in iOS 9 or so.

My 7+ locked up, too. Power + down volume > reboot > 5 minutes later everything’s fine.OK, after about 1 1/2 hours, I took a deep breath and forced the phone to reboot, and then it continued and finished the update. Whew. I will never update again without backing up first.
I waited 15 mins then rebooted mine as suggested. Once booted back up it was ok and showing the PB3 build number. It appears to be ok, however I need to see if my wifi is now back working properly. It's been dropping out like mad.Having the same issue. I've been on the public beta program since the beginning, and never had an update take this long or seem to just stop.

Ideally if you OTA update I have found it best to close all apps then reboot the device BEFORE updating. Seems to eliminate weird OTA updating issues. And yes backup 1st tooOK, after about 1 1/2 hours, I took a deep breath and forced the phone to reboot, and then it continued and finished the update. Whew.

It's quite ironic as that's what I have done before then I was so eager to get updated to test the wifi I forgot. LOLIdeally if you OTA update I have found it best to close all apps then reboot the device BEFORE updating. Seems to eliminate weird OTA updating issues. And yes backup 1st too
Anyway my wifi is still b0rked. I am not happy iOS 12, not happy
Just tried it on my X. It saved the screenshot to my photo stream but not my camera roll. Reporting now.
Can anyone with the beta who owns an Airport Express see if this still pops up - https://appleinsider.com/articles/1...sibility-for-apples-airport-express-in-ios-12
Little disheartened at how many issues seem to be persisting between betas and how many new issues and regressions seem to be cropping up. I know we still have a couple months till GM, but time’s passing quickly (we’re almost 50% of the way from Beta 1 to GM). Really hope they can make some major headway on this ‘remaining issues’ list soon.
And hopefully everyone is reporting new bugs because the interval between betas will soon be shorter
I have auto brightness and in dark room, brightness at lowest, I tried to wake up phone. Screen stayed black and did not react to lift, touch or power button. Accidentally double clicked power button and it activated apple pay and after that all was normal.
Now I have issues with taking pictures with in-app camera, like Whatsapp and Instagram. I can no longer take pictures within the app... I can do it when I reboot the phone, but after a while it stops working. I have the camera view, but the capture button is not doing anything.
