All Devices iOS 13 Beta 1 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[Feenician]

Fair point Apple wants consistency across devices, however that shouldn’t mean killing off features that they designed the hardware to support. It’s a bit like disabling a headphone jack capability on older devices just because newer phones don’t come with one.

Seems like every year in the beta cycle there's some little interaction detail that Apple go back and forth on, either by accident or by design, and there ends up a raging war on the forum for as people either decry Apple's evil intentions to remove a feature that they totally paid or praise Apple's Vision of Perfect Parity*. Most of the time I think it's because either Apple haven't decided what they want it to look/work like yet, or are just messing with the code base and having regressions.

*please note I'm not insulting anyone in this thread or any other discussing this feature, it has been good intentioned debate to this point, just talking in general about my experience of the beta cycles every year here. Remember the "apple crippled the home button to make the X seem faster"/"no they didn't they added a slight delay to discern double click" debacle?

Please can someone do me a favor?! In whatsapp, just do a chat backup, mine doesnt even want to start. Just to make sure its a bug. Tnx

I had same issue on 12.3.1 last week, make sure phone is plugged into charger then try to do it. Works fine for me iOS 13 btw.

Sorry iPhone X users you won’t get this

But XR does. As well as the Other A12s with true depth cameras

I’ve never done a Beta before. Now that I have a spare iPad Pro I want to try it. How long is it usually before the first public beta comes out of iOS 13?

How’s the swipe keyboard working for everyone??? Especially those who have used gboard.

I love it!

Adding pictures to contacts is definitely broken lol. Breaks as soon as you press all photos. In Contacts it just goes black, in Messages it goes to a greyed out version of your conversation.

It works fine to me.

Can we still share a photo as an iCloud link in iOS 13 ?


Maybe I’m not not looking properly or maybe just beta issue.

Shudder...

Outstanding for me! (Typed with the quick path keyboard!)

Also, I really, really like the new way of selecting text. It is so much easier than before.

Does anyone know where the share Shortcut with iCloud link control has gone?

So far I've been on the beta for 2 days on my iPhone xs Max. I was able to install beta and keep my data. I didn't do a clean install. So far no major app crashes. App crashes happen every now and then. Would factory resetting my phone and reinstalling everything to have a clean install make any difference in better performance?

Unlikely to help much or at all. But, hey, if you have a tolerance for losing your data and would like the piece of mind of having a clean install, it certainly won't hurt.

Even better than gboard because typing out individual letters is more accurate.

Hey! Running iOS 13 beta and my phone told me that my battery was significantly degraded and I needed to get service (pretty neat how it automatically will give you the link to go make an appointment just from the settings app) so I went tonight and they did the replacement but the phone didn't pass their end of service inspection (or something like that) so they had to give me a new one.

Not sure if it was because of the beta or something else but it's pretty cool that apple will still do the service even if you run a beta. Bless iCloud backups haha.

I don't remember reading about this in the thread or anywhere else, but if you're using Apple Music and looking at the new scrolling lyrics, you can touch on the words to skip forward to that spot in the song. Kinda slick.

New look around feature works picture in picture

That is dope!!!

 

[adrianlondon]

Maybe I've forgotten how to use it (quite possible, it's not something I use regularly) but I used "bedtime" as an alarm last night and it didn't go off this morning.

Checking the phone, all the settings looked correct but bedtime simply didn't turn off. When I went into it and altered the wake time, it seemed to work - activating itself and de-activating itself (moon in status bar) as I slid the wake-up time around, but a second quick check and it seems the scheduling just doesn't work.

Anyone else used bedtime mode and got it to work?

June end / early July.

Some places mention late June on Apple's website.

There are so many features and changes that I kept updating the wiki!

iOS 13 is a good iteration with many niceties. They may or may not be major or ridiculously huge, but all of them have a positive impact on our daily use of our devices and that is all that really matters.

There’s a ‘copy iCloud link’ option in the new share sheet

 

[csurfr]

Ah bummer. Books in my iCloud library won’t download on my iPad mini 5.

Known bug in the release notes. It is not just download, it may fail to upload too.
