Hello fellow beta users,

I've been monitoring the forums closely since the first beta release. So far the Beta's ran without major gripes on my 8+

But since Beta 4 I have a strange behaviour where my mobile connection (GSM-Provider) drops from time to time for a short amount of time and afterwards cellular is restored. I've deactivated SIM PIN, Auto Date & Time. But so far I haven't been able to pinpoint the nature of the issue. I have already sent feedback to Apple.

Maybe someone here has a tip. DFU Restore and fresh install didn't help.
Not sure if this would be the same issue but I’ve had a problem since beta 12 where I will drop in the middle of a call. I’m on Verizon. What I did was reset network settings and it seemed to fix it. But then restarted again so I started just doing a reboot each morning which seems to fix it. Forgot to reboot yesterday and I dropped another call. So may be onto something not sure. If my daily morning reboot fails me then I have no other ideas. So hoping this continues working.
 
Has anyone noticed app updates not installing or the update ring filling quickly before returning to "update".

This hasn't happened to me until last night and all day today. I've been having to uninstall and reinstall the apps.

Been running beta 6 since release day with no problem until now.

I hadn’t been having issues with the actual downloading of apps until this beta as well. For me, if I just force close the app and then click Update on each individual app it’ll download correctly.

When a person with iPhone read a message I sent, it no longer say "read" under the message, only "delivered ". Anyone else have that issue?
Could be how the recipient has his phone set. If read receipts are turned off on the reciepient’s phone you will only know it is delivered.
 
Excellent! Yeah they moved it away from Display Settings where it has always been for some kooky reason in iOS 11 I believe it was. Glad that worked.
[doublepost=1533903438][/doublepost]Open your clock and look at bedtime at the bottom then options. Its probably enabled in there.

Hey cheers, That was exactly the issue, I found it under bedtime.
So they have a switch for it in DND and Bedtime.

Pretty sure that’s how notifications are supposed to be grouped. You can change the settings to “By App” if you want all notifications from a single app grouped together.

I think this beta broke Spotify. I open the app, logo pops up, then when it goes a way to make way for the app content, there’s a blank screen with cancel in the top left corner. That all vanishes to a black screen before I can tap anything. Very frustrating. Uninstall/reinstall didn’t work, might try a reboot next. (Will post over at the app thread also)

Spotify is working perfectly on my iPhone 8+ with iOS 12 B6... no issue here.

I’ve been having issues stating today with Spotify.

It was fine playing my offline content this morning when I went for a run.

But this afternoon it kept throwing a hissy fit when playing through my Sonos system. Just kept cutting out, then Sonos was saying couldn’t connect to Spotify. I thought it might be the Sonos app but everything else worked fine. Tried resetting my WiFi and delete/reinstall Spotify. But still having issues. So I’m wondering if it’s a beta issue or a Spotify issue.

Will try again tomorrow.

No problems with Spotify on my Beta6 6s+ here in the UK tonight.

Is anyone still having issues with iMessage in iCloud using a colossal amount of iCloud storage? My iMessage uses 18.4GB of iCloud storage but when I open ‘Messages’ under the manage storage section, the conversations only show 2.26GB. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Sure I did. But when you reply to someone message you have to go this annoying way adding one by one.
Ah I see. As an alternative you could copy the content of the message and then start a new draft from the photos app with the photos selected then paste the previous message.
 
Am I the only one who get's this setting app bug? When in the settings app & you click on certain things, the screen would just go black.
No happend to me and when I went into safari in settings entire screen went blank after iOS beta 6 update that is a major problem that inconveniencd a lot of users

I had an issue with a white screen in settings right after doing the update. I rebooted my phone and all was well until this morning... I had something that looked a little like a respring, and the issue returned. I was able to get to it to work correctly again by restarting my phone...

Reported it initially, and filed an update to my bug report when it recurred this morning.
 
Hmmm, just noticed when I turn on bluetooth it won't find anything to connect to just spins and the icon never pops up up top either. Is this one of the bluetooth bugs being talked about?
 
is anyone else having the issue in settings where you can't get any search results to show? I type in the search field in settings and get a blank screen for any app or setting.

I had this exact same issue shortly after installing the beta. I fixed it with a reboot. Maybe that will work for you, if you haven’t already tried it?

Are you kidding me? I can also print them and send by snail mail.

I am not using pocket supercomputer in 21st century to do that. When every dumb chatting app can attach more messages at once.
 
Have you tried going into photos and selecting the photos you want to email and then pressing the share button? I can attach as many photos as I want this way but I don't use Apple's garbage stock mail app.

Another alternative method is going into Photos, selecting the photos you need and copying them. Then you can paste them into the reply. I agree they should really add a way to insert many from Mail. Raise a feature request if you haven’t already.
