Hmm, I have 22 playlists in mine, and every single one of them has the correct artwork.

Since you're missing the "For You" and "Browse" buttons at the bottom of your music app, I'm guessing you dont have an active Apple Music subscription. Did you set up these playlists yourself using your own audio files that you transferred to your device? If so, maybe that's part of the problem?

Did you ever let iTunes scan your library and auto-add album art?
Definitely my own music. Will never support subscription music. Doesn’t provide half the audio I want.
Never been a problem until iOS 13. In my paranoia I suspect Apple may be using this to drive their subscriber base. Not with me. Have seen this posted by others.
Probably going to start flooding Apple with reports.

Have not done the auto-scan. Afraid it will just mess everything up more. I have about 1,000 playlists. To clarify, the first 10 or 20 playlist will show correct album art and text, then they get off kilter.
Some of what I have doesn’t have album art. Still, it’s an iOS13 thing. Never an issue on any older iOS phones or iPods. My 6th gen iPod Touch works fine under 12.

Is the offline finding for Find My working correctly (or is it waiting for update enabling Airtag)? Have not been able to use it when needed around house a few times or even get to work testing afterwards on any version of 13 so far (including computer with Catalina). If I turn setting off it warms me I want be able to use offline finding, but there is not much of a difference so far since it hasn’t work for us yet.

Did you try adding custom art to the playlist cover? If you open the playlist and select "Edit" in the upper right, you can assign whatever image you want for the cover.

Tracks that weren't purchased from a digital marketplace like Amazon, etc, can often have weird issues that pop up with album art depending on the application that's playing them. That's because MP3s use ID3 tags to store album art, and there are a bunch of different ID3 fields that can store artwork. Some tracks sourced from alternate sources have album art input by people who don't know what they're doing, and some of them have multiple images in multiple ID3 fields inside one MP3. Depending on which field a particular MP3 player is pulling the art from, you can end up with totally different artwork showing in different players. If the Apple Music app is automatically pulling images from the files for the Album Art cover, and the files aren't standard, that could cause issues.

I would bet that if you checked all the ID3 tags inside your files, odds are that some of them are screwed up.
 
The “Up Next” widget still slightly shifts up/down half the time when swiping to the widget page. So annoying.
 
It’s super weird, I didn’t see that multitasking bug on my 11 Pro much (definitely not disputing that it’s there, just didn’t seem to pop up much with the apps that I use, or maybe the chip is so fast it just opened those apps fast? Not sure anymore lol), but boy was it apparent on my 2019 iPad Air. With the update, my Air is back in business, being the beast that it is with iPadOS.
 
does this fix the following issues:
1. finishing the photo curation process as well as face detection (on ios 13.2 and still going)
2. when clicking on a message or email notification from the lock screen, regularly it does not bring you to the actual message or email, it just opens the app.
 
Just run into my first RAM management issue with this beta (iPad Pro 11 inches)

I was writing an email using Outlook. Switched to Safari to get an URL and when I went back to Outlook to paste it, Oultook reloaded and I had to look for the halfwritten email in the Drafts folder.

This kind of things (happening since 13.2) are really making my iPad unusable for me as a professional device.

Yes, unless purchased from iTunes I add the album art manually.
Like I said, only an iOS13 thing so the issue is there.
If I rip a cd, no album art comes in so it needs to be added manually.
Apple has pretty much flubbed iOS13 when it comes to this. so it should not be a surprise.
Am appreciating your input. I may just give the find album art thing a go.
 
How is the battery on this beta? Thinking of updating to it on my XR to fix ram management, but don't want my phone's battery to be cut in half.
 
I just closed out the mail app and safari still reloads tabs on my iPad Pro on 13.2. But then there are other times (very rarely) where hours will go by and it wont reload . Its definitely a quirky bug thats causing it.

My suspicion is that some system service or other process has a memory leak, and eventually uses up so much memory that not enough is available for more than one or two apps to run in the background. Eventually that process gets killed by the system, so now the memory is free and multitasking works great again, until once again the memory leak consumes all available memory.

This is just a THEORY of course; I have no way of proving this since Apple locks down iOS. But it would certainly explain the behavior and how unpredictable it is, along with how things work fine for a while after a reboot.

That is by design.
Notifications that appear on the watch will not appear on the phone.

Wait.. What.. Has it always been like this..??? I always get messages on my iPhone and watch.. This says depending on what device you are using is where the message will go and not sync to the other device ??

You can monitor process iOS CPU and RAM utilization in XCode, so if you cared enough you'd be able to keep an eye on this.

Good point; maybe I'll have a look later. Xcode is way out of date on my Macs because updating it always takes forever and I don't use it much.

That makes a lot of sense. Its just a shame we may have to wait at least a month for a fix until 13.3 comes out. Im weary of running betas especially this year!

Doubt it will be a month. Maybe we will get 13.2.1 or 13.2.2 yet this week with a fix.

Too soon to really tell.
Give 48-72 hours min unless something really drastic shows up.

XS Max and IPP 11 ...
Mail - still a mess on both devices. Not seeing any improvement or fixes.
RAM Management: Let's give it a day or so as I am seeing improvement however not a fix. Swapping back and forth between Word Connect and Safari/WinEveryGame, Safaris will reload the tab every 3rd or 4th swap. Will be watching ...

I am sure there will be more as 13.3 settles down and stops the background install activities.

Yeah, same here. I'm not bothering with betas on my phone, but I am putting this beta on my iPad as the background app killing has made it useless and is far worse than the few bugs reported so far.
