Can confirm! Such an annoying bug

Battery Health function is also, NOT in Beta anymore!

So it looks like Software Updates are finally available OTA thru cellular. I just started mine on WiFi and was going really slow, so I switched to cellular and it just kept downloading. Can anyone else try? Is it just a bug?

Still says I need to connect to Wi-Fi on my iPhone X, ATT.

Same situation here.

Screentime has reset once more and does now guide you through setting it up (your iPhone or the iPhone of a child etc). There is also a toggle for sharing screentime betweem your devices.

Seems to me it might be a bug.

Media types in photos now have icons next to the different types.

Never had this issue on my X but glad it's fixed for those of you that were having the issue.

Weird thing: My battery health percentage has jumped from previous 98% back to 100% on Beta 5. Seems to me, some major changes happened to that function.

P.S. iPhone X

It might also be that it reset the dataset Apple uses to calculate that. I'd keep an eye on it...

Please test for the following:

• Field Test mode crashes to home screen if you try for 2nd time (iPhone X Qualcomm Modem) Try dialing *3001#12345#*
• Video thumbnails in Photos app may take some time to re-index.
• At dimmest setting, display may not wake, requiring hard reset
• Music control on lock screen/cover sheet/Notification Center is gone, even when music is playing.
• When pressing shuffle to shuffle a playlist, playlist may "shuffle for a few songs, but will start at beginning of playlist and then play in alphabetical order. Has only been observed in the "My Top Rated" playlist.

• Video thumbnails in Photos app may take some time to re-index - Seems fine for me this time. All appeared immediately after updating
  
• Music control on lock screen/cover sheet/Notification Center is gone, even when music is playing. - Seems to be working as expected now. *tested Apples player and Amazon music app.

Transparency in control centre seems to be a bit "darker" comparing it to Beta 4.

Screen time settings no longer list family members who are not children (at least for me). That's good.

I tried same and found it to be true.

What about performance in beta 5 ? Is better ?

 

[IGWT15]

mine just says 12.0 is up to date. How come I cannot update to beta 5? I keep refreshing and nothing

Are you on the public beta or developer beta?

I don’t know if this is a bug or not, but I’m getting a new haptic feedback when swiping up on the home screen when no apps are in the app switcher. iPhone X
