Is Slide Over on iPadOS not working for anyone else? I’m using an iPad Pro 10.5. Did the gesture change or is it just not working?

How are you trying to get into slideover? Right now you can't drag apps from spotlight, or from the home screen. Only apps in the dock.

I was just trying to do it like how you do it on iOS 12 where you just swipe left from the right side of the screen to bring up a mini floating window of the last app you had in Slide Over

That still works for me, provided I've actually put a window in slideover already. If it's not working perhaps try a restart and try again?
 
Apple typically does a build each business day (based on past experience with build numbers). They released 17A5492t as beta 1. The 17 represents iOS 13 (looking at iOS 12 builds, they start at 16), ‘A’ represents X.0 (‘B’ represents X.1, etc). The 5 represents a developer beta (or a build compiled with logging tools enabled, such as extra analytics and the feedback app), the next two/three numbers represent how many times it was compiled (see above, typically at the end of each business day), and any letter at the end represents a “revision” to the build, which is typically a quick hot fix but not enough to compile a new build.

This build is 17A5508m. Let’s compare that to beta 1 (17A5492t). Subtracting 5508 and 5492 yields 16. 16 builds newer (if there’s five days in a business week, then this build was the work of the past three weeks plus one business day). Looking at the letter ‘m’, it’s the 13th letter in the alphabet. It took quality assurance 13 revisions in order for this 508 build to be deemed “stable” for public use. Obviously this is much better than a ‘t’ build. Although never proven, people tend to assume a build is more stable if there’s less revisions to it (aka ends in ‘a’, ‘b’, or ‘c’) before the quality assurance team seems it ready to be released outside of the internal teams who work in development of the software.

Interesting fact to note: remember that report from early 2018 where iOS 12 features were being pushed back to iOS 13, and that both would be developed concurrently to improve quality? Looking at the build number for beta 1, they started work about 492 business days ago from when it was compiled before WWDC, confirming that rumor that they started work on 13.0 in late 2017.

Build numbers are a pretty interesting concept. I hope this clarifies any confusion!

This, is a cracking post. Thank you

Is Apple still adding lyrics to the Music app? I’ve come across a number of well known songs where it’s says there are no lyrics for the song.

Yeah I was just coming here to post the same thing. 11 inch pro here, and I can’t the SlideOver app to leave the screen. I’m forced to swipe up to the app switcher for Slideover and close the app to get it to go off the screen.

I’ll submit some feedback.
 
***Dual Sim*** I can confirm that data can now be used while on a non-primary phone call and data is set to primary only.

Good job Apple.

I think they are fixing the backend code of how lyrics are displayed. If you add a custom lyrics, it will be shown as a continuous block of lyrics with no line breaks. The new lyrics UI matches the song timeframe.
 
Disallowing Account Changes in Screen Time Restrictions means you now cannot access the Update Apps tab in the Apps store, due to the Update Apps tab being moved behind the User Profile, which (like before) can’t be accessed when Account Changes are disallowed.

In iOS12 and before, you could Disallow Account Changes and still access the Update Apps tab in the App Store. I’ve given feedback, I hope this is tweaked as Disallowing Account Changes adds an extra layer of security. Don’t want to have to allow/disallow account changes every time I want to update apps.
 
I'm sure people are getting tired of these questions... First time beta user here.

What happens, or what do we do when the official iOS 13 rolls out in Sept.? Do the beta updates stop and we get the official?
Beta tester, without uninstalling beta profile, will likely get golden master iOS 13. That version is basically the same version as the final software most of the time. It is just released 7 days earlier than offical release.
At that moment, you have two choices: delete your test profile and stop beta testing until, idk, iOS 14 beta comes out; or keep the beta profile and start testing iOS 13.1 beta shortly after official release of iOS 13.0.

That thing is ONLY available to Apple Music. Custom lyrics remain unaffected. All I hope now is Apple does not ban people from adding lyrics to their music as custom lyrics.
 
this warning message is a nice addition for the average user

Nope. If you add a custom lyrics after iOS 13 it will look like this. Previous lyrics are however unaffected.

I have b2 on a XS max which is fundamentally working really well.

However I seem to have a problem with updates -- if I go into the app store, click my photo, I can see a list of pending updates (15) up to 2 days old. I did get updates prior to this, albeit a little slow.. But now I'm struggling to have any updates processed. No errors.. they just start downloading then go back to the update label. Plenty of space, and happens on multiple wifi and 4G ...

Any ideas?

Does anyone know where to find the call audio routing setting in iOS 13? I’ve searched all the settings but I can’t find it. It used to be in accessibility. iOS 12 menu attached for reference.

Never mind, got it. It’s buried in the accessibility settings under “touch”.

Has anyone tried removing a VIP contact in mail. It will let me remove, but then it comes right back. Before reporting, I want to make sure that it isn't an issue with my otherwise wonky work account.

Just try over and over again - I had like 5 apps yesterday that I managed to update after a painful repetitive button-press :D

I had this problem with 8 apps yesterday afternoon and posted feedback on this. By 6pm, however, I was able to update the apps. Then 18 more showed up and updated fine! May have been an issue on the App Store side of things. Or not.
