All Devices iOS 13.2 Beta 4 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[Lefteris4691]

Just delete the beta profile. When the final release of 13.2 comes out, it’ll be available for you to download.

Thanks a lot.

It looks like the Photos app is displaying a Live Photo like icon on the bottom right of photos taken with Deep Fusion. I think, because I'm not certain that is what it is. It's like the Live Photo icon but with a solid circle (broken at the top) around it. It doesn't show in the camera photo review.

edit: I take it back - icon has now vanished, so must mean something else.

That icon appears when a photo hasn’t been fully downloaded from iCloud.

I’ve already told him that!

So, I feel like ever since iOS 13, Messages QuickAction contextual menu has been slowly been losing it's effectiveness.

I used to have a couple of outdated recent contacts to Haptic Touch into, but now, it's just empty.


Does anyone else use this feature but me, and noticed that it's not picking up your most recent/frequent messages to Haptic into?

Thanks for any feedback, very frustrating as I used this all the time.

Does this fix any of the Car Bluetooth issues those of us on 13.1.3 are still having?

Yes, it does. BT is working again since the beta 3.

Yes loads of posts here about it. It doesn’t work. Please report it, or have you done so already?

Yea, at least on 13.1.3 it definitely usually contained outdated recents; hopefully 13.2 will improve it. Another thing: I never get Siri suggestions anymore...hoping this release will fix that as well.

Been using it for almost a day now.... XS Max

Mail - iCloud requires manual refresh most times
Mail - Focus is on All Unread - will shift to All inbox on most relaunches of Mail
Messages - not forwarding non-iOS messages to my iPad
Phone - Some calls have an slide to answer while others have accept / decline option
Safari - Tab reloads. Was filling out an online form flipping back and forth between Safari and Word when Safari tab reloaded losing all my data.
Safari - tab launch - When loading some links via +New Tab the new tab will launch and display down a couple of pages instead of at the top.
Photo - Share - photos sent will be received out of order
Wireless Charging - Still have the issue that when placed on the charger, even if the green battery shows, if the tone does not sound the device will not charge.

Sadly more to come I am sure 😕

Well add the GPS (Location)-Bug to the list. On the iPhone 11 Pro, the Location Arrow is showing up every few seconds / minutes.

Do you have an Apple Watch?

No I don't have an Apple Watch. The issue seems to exist since iOS 13.1.2 and continues on the Beta 4 of 13.2. And it seems to only affects iPhone 11 Pro Devices. There is a whole thread about this in this Forum as well.

Yes I’ve posted on there as it happens on mine, but, i also have an Apple Watch.

 

[deadcantdance]

Nobody seeing the volume indicator appearing and disappearing constantly while being connected to a Bluetooth handsfree?

 

[Gitica23]

Could anyone explain to me, how its possible that IOS13 act so differently on each device, because on mine its working great.

Me too...but that’s just the way it is.

And it should work that well on all. I just always assumed it’s because I’m light on apps or any other serious memory draining apps. I use the core apps and social media for the most part.

Every iOS device I have, 11 Pro Max, iPhone 7, 3rd gen iPad Pro 12” has the same behavior as far as the location arrow. Not a bug as far as I can tell. One system function or other, or 3rd party app is using location services. I see either the geofencing hollow arrow switching back and forth with a solid arrow. The behavior is exactly the same on each device. 2 are on the current general release, one is on the current beta. No battery impact that I’ve seen since 13.0 was released. You could turn off all your weather services and 3rd party weather apps, that might reduce what you see if it makes you feel better.

it’s easy to see which ones are currently or have recently used location services. For me it’s the native weather app, I have all weather apps set to always, a Find Friends type 3rd party app that is set to always with the hollow geofencing arrow. So for me if I turned off all weather apps, I have 3 including the native Apple Weather, and the Find type app that would pretty much get rid of the arrow for much of the time. There also is the Significant Locations system feature along with a few others that could be toggled off to get rid of it permanently. But since there has been no battery impact and I either use or want all those features enabled I don’t bother. What is the bug you’re talking about?

Connected to what?
I am connected to my B&O headphones an I am not seeing this behavior - XS Max

I've reported it already, on more than one occasion. Looks like it will remain broken in final release. Great.

13.2 will not improve it, in fact, it will make it worse and clear your Context Menu completely.

I get both indicators (the left one and the slide-from-the-top one) appearing and disappearing after ending FaceTime Video calls. It seems to reset the volume to some predetermined level. Nothing to do with bluetooth in my case, as I have it turned off.

It might still be happening - I've not paid close enough attention since installing yesterday's beta.

I checked on my XS Max (AT&T) as I am not seeing this.
When I look into settings, I see the following:
1. All apps are set to While Using or Never. Apps that use it frequently are Apple Watch Faces, PingID, and Today Weather.
2. Here is a SS of System Services

3. I have Location Services and Location Alerts > Show Map in Location Alerts turned on.
Maybe this will help you pinpoint the trigger.

 

[adrianlondon]

Your screenshot shows "Location Based Alerts" off, not on. If that's on, and you have the location arrow enabled for system services, you'll see a geofencing arrow (the hollow one) pretty much all the time as it's monitoring where you are for any location-based reminders and shortcuts.

You could disable the location access for Cell Network Search too but should definitely enable the Find My iPhone.

I don't have Location Activated for any iOS Services and it's just activated for Google Maps and Waze. I don't use "Find my Phone" and also no other app is allowed to use GPS. If I switch from Airplane to Data Mode, the GPS Arrow appears, as well as I enable Wifi. The GPS Arrow appears randomly, whatever I'm doing on my phone.

I assume it is a bug, because the GPS Arrow appears and disappears every 30-45 Seconds. No app is showing that GPS has been used and the System GPS Services are turned off. This doesn't happen on my iPhone 8Plus using iOS 13.1.3, but it happens on my Iphone 11 Pro.

Please report all of this to Apple, if you haven't yet. We will all thank you.

I have a Watch and see that GPS arrow. It’s definitely the weather app.
