Regarding "Find My", I used to be able to sign in to my kids accounts in Find My iPhone to see where their device is, but I don't see that capability now. Do they have to share their location now that Find My Friends is combined with Find My iPhone?

I don't think so. I can see where my daughter is. But when setting up a notification for leaving a defined area, the error message pops up "This location alert could not be created because of an error"

Battery life seems pretty good so far for a first beta. Last time I was at 100% was about 15 hours ago and I REALLY stressed the **** out of my xs. I‘m at 18% left now.

Day 2:

Almost the same! Its 16 hours ago until I was at 100%, I‘m down to 14% now.

I will look forward to day 3 but my Xs seems to get 18-19 hours of usage with this first beta.

For day 3 I will setup a pure black wallpaper, lets see how much I can stretch my battery

Settings -> Safari -> Downloads. Saves to a downloads folder in iCloud Drive by default but you're free to put it locally or another storage provider. I can save directly to my NAS at home from anywhere!

The 1st time it came up with a dialogue box asking “do you want to download “xyz.xyz”, I thought: “well there’s an interesting new desktop feature”; then it disappeared & I thought I had encountered a bug, so I started the d/l again. Lol, only then did I notice the new “downloads” icon on the address bar (that I obviously instantly recognized from desktop Safari!!. It had the same pause/restart, cancel, & clear features from desktop Safari .

I’m a huge fan. Lines = Blurred.

I have T-Mobile eSim and Xfinity Mobile (Verizon) physical. Yours is an interesting combination... Are you back and forth across the pond often!?

Every six weeks...

I left feedback for CarPlay requesting the option to choose Weather as a widget instead of Calendar. Although I use Calendar all the time, I don't really need it on my CarPlay screen. Weather would be awesome. Fingers crossed!

I prefer the calendar, but options are a good thing... let the user decide. It would also be nice to see the ETA on the map on the “split” view. You have to open the Map app to see the ETA

Quoting myself since this is getting a little buried. make my additions easier to see.

So update: Mail app is pretty bad off.
  • Notification badges will come back randomly and id have like 165 as my count.. yet nowhere would I actually have 165 emails. Only way to clear was to remove the whole account.
  • When deleting an email, it does not mark is as read – so if you have outlook open on your computer it would show it as deleted, but unread.
  • I swapped over to Outlook as my fallback.. So far its holding up fine. Notifications work and everything syncs.
For those curious about battery life.. its actually pretty good for me. my phone is at 88% (11:30am) and I pulled it off the charger around 5:30am.. my work email syncs all day. Along with other random apps, texts, ect. Pretty standard working persons use.

Excellent summary and same experiences! VZW as well just seems better...

My battery life has been superb so far. I’m not a huge power user but I started my day around 6AM and still have 84% left here at 5PM on my XS Max.

Granted this is only with approx an hour and a half of screen on time, but a whole days worth of work emails/messages etc.
 
Everything working good except, battery is horrendous, and Overcast wont sync to apple watch on Watch OS 6. Apple podcasts is working.
 
Didn’t notice it until today but there’s definitely some weird glitch with dark mode (especially with the Settings app) that’s not present on iPad. I’m guessing it’s the OLED smearing that has been referred to before. It’s like a faint blue’ish tone that appears before a black area when scrolling.

Is this a characteristic of OLED or a glitch?
 
The new timer shows you what time the timer will complete. Super super useful. Now if only we could set multiple timers...

Between that and the basically complete freedom Files offers to structure both local and remote resources things just got a lot more desktop-like.
 
Anybody knows how the new CarPlay with his richer homescreen will be handled by car systems without touchscreen? Mine is a 2017 Audi and the navigation trough the interface is made with the "MMI dial", which is a circular button that can be rotated and pressed.

I navigate just fine in CarPlay but does it behave the same in the new version? Rotating the dial will go from a clickable item to the next easily ?

I've noticed this system UI issue on my iphone 7

3D have a noticeable delay on the home screen
3D Touch in control center doesn’t work like half of the time
Screen recording- control center bug

Edit: apparently the 3d touch issue is related to apple switching 3d touch function to haptic touch

Has anyone tried dictation in multiple languages? That was on the screen with all of the new iOS 13 features and I’m wondering how well it works.
works very well. It will detect the first words of the language you use everytime

I'm having no terrible problems, but my incoming calls go straight to "The customer you are trying to reach..."

Didn't figure that out until tonight. Anyone else?
 
Yeah I tried restarted several times and still spinning circle when I try to update apps.

Mine seems to be working fine. Did you restart the phone?
