long hold simulating 3d touch no longer works on lock screen notifications. did work on previous beta. iphone 8

does 3D touch still work?

yep. it's the only way to 3d touch interacting with notifications now since long hold no longer works. i turned 3d touch off in previous beta to start getting used to long hold plus hopefully save tiny bit of battery having the feature off, but now have to turn it back on to interact with notif.

Photos in the camera roll can’t be deleted by using 3D Touch and selecting “Delete.”
 
Must be just mine then. Overheats like crazy although London weather doesn’t help much. Listening to music easily drains 10% for a 30 minute commute to work straight after taking it off charge when it should be 1/2%.
Was this bug fixed? I just have the same bug
 
Is the Safari option to open links in new tabs or in the back ground missing or not working for anyone else?

I can’t wait until Apple fixes the inconsistencies with updating apps and using update all. It’s like they don’t manually update their apps at all. Such a obvious random frequent bug.

And that’s after waiting. Pressing update all again. Waiting. Pressing update individually. Took 10 extra mins to get them to finally update.

Looks like a lot of mailboxes within the Mail app don’t show the status at the bottom of the screen “Updated Just Now,” “Connecting,” etc.

I can see it just fine.

Nope. But just reboot your phone right away. Don’t wait for it to fix itself.

How do you delete an app from the home screen? Every time I try, it keeps going into 3D Touch mode instead.

Keep holding or hold and move the icon. Stop giving up so easily lol.

This and sane selection on web pages have probably been my two biggest recurring gripes from my day to day iOS usage over the past few years, where something that seems basic simply did not work well. App updating has been spotty for me even on stable production versions, then it gets fixed and I'm like, "Phew, glad that's over again" and then I have issues again. I appreciate not everyone has these issues on the stable versions but it's been a real bugbear for me. Quite horrible in the iOS 13 betas for sure but we need to report and have patience.

On selection on webpages, especially complicated ones, it had been horribly broken for years for anything but the simplest text selection (and iffy, even then). iOS 12 improved things quite a bit and the iOS 13 betas have been even better. Previously, more often than I care to admit, I'd sometimes give up even trying to select and quote and either just not bother, or actually manually type a quote out. Now I'm feeling a lot happier with it.
 
I know this isn’t on topic for beta 4, but I wonder if this website eventually will turn dark when we have dark mode on. When I have dark mode on and I’m on Twitter in safari, it turns dark also. I hope apps like YouTube etc detect that we have dark mode on and automatically turn dark

Apple have already provided a easy solution for web-developers to implement in order to offer light and dark modes on their websites;

https://webkit.org/blog/8840/dark-mode-support-in-webkit/


The problem is how slow web-development tends to be. And sadly Apple can't really do much in-terms of other browsers and rendering engines so even-though this is open-source and can be freely implemented within EdgeHTML (Microsoft Edge), Gecko (Mozilla Firefox) and Blink (Google Chrome, and various thrid-party browsers using Chromium/Blink such as Brave, new Microsoft Edge etc..) they will have to add this to the engine for it to be relevant to all browsers.

As far as I know no other than Apple with Safari/Webkit has added such a feature yet so there is very little traction going on from developers. I suspect this needs to become something pretty much every browser supports before web-developers starts to care about implementing it and even them web-development tends to be really sloooooow.

On desktop browsers you can come a long way by using "Dark Reader" as an extension. It will cause some issues with a lot of sites but it's bearable and it's the best we've got currently. But sadly there is no support for extensions on mobile browsers, at least not on iOS other than content blockers.

3D-Touch/Long-press --> Re-arrange --> Hit "X" to delete?

I REALLY DON’T GET WHY A WEBSITE HAS TO HAVE A DARK MODE VERSION. IT’S A WEB DEVELOPER’S PREROGATIVE ON HOW OR WHAT THEIR WEBSITE WILL LOOK LIKE.

Any way.... I noticed that Look Up has its own sheet now too

Tried that. Tried the find my phone from the watch. Tried airplane mode off and on. No help. It seems for me any update for the watch has problems always has since my series 0, 2, 3, and now 4

I turned off WiFi on my phone and closed the watch app after selecting software update and the badge immediately appeared on my icon, opened up the app and voila, update!

They don't have to. That's entirely the point of implementing it that way. It avoids the deficiencies of algorithmic solutions, leaves editorial decisions in the hand of site owners and things like the below (emphasis mine) need never be an issue.

If you're not happy with a particular site not being dark, leave a comment or email the webmaster because they literally have to check one property and set an appropriate stylesheet.

Odd since the option to open tabs in the background is still listed in Safari settings. Hopefully Apple puts the option back or fixes it if it’s a bug and not a design choice.

I don’t see how it’s not a a bug. Let’s hope it’s back with the next beta.

Yes. It has to be a bug, surely. If anything the only option in the menu should be in Open in Tab, since we already have a convenient mechanism for not doing so. Single tap!

I mean, as web developer, if someone sent me a Feedback how they don’t like the website because it’s not in Dark mode, when the whole design of the website is made around the idea of light mode, I will just ignore it lol

Dark Mode is now supported in all major browsers. I worked on a major site and we have supported it since before it was supported anywhere: https://www.buysearchsell.com.au.

The actual CSS to do so isn't super complicated. It's basically a smart invert with some exceptions:

HTML:
/* Dark mode support */

@media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) {
  html {
    background-color: rgb(30,30,30)!important
  }

  body, iframe {
    background-color: transparent!important;
    background: transparent!important;
    background-image: none!important;
  }

  body, iframe {
    filter: invert(1) hue-rotate(180deg) !important;
  }
 
  :not(object):not(body)>embed, img, video, figure:empty, *[data-img], *[data-thumb-url], *[style*='background:url']:not(input), *[style*='background: url']:not(input), *[style*='background-image:url']:not(input), *[style*='background-image: url']:not(input) {
    filter: invert(1) hue-rotate(180deg) !important;
  }

  [style*='background:url'] *, [style*='background-image:url'] *, [style*='background: url'] *, [style*='background-image: url'] *, input, [background] * {
    filter: none !important;
  }

  :-webkit-full-screen, :-webkit-full-screen * {
    filter: none !important;
  }

  .banner-wrapper img[href$=".svg"], .banner-wrapper img[href$=".gif"], .footer-image, .newscorp-logo {
    filter: invert(0) hue-rotate(0deg) !important;
  }
 
  .pillars .pillar-container ul.main-list li.pillar-item h2 a, .primary, .banner-centered-text {
    filter: invert(1) hue-rotate(180deg) !important;
  }
}

I agree. You, as a site owner should have full editorial control of how your site looks and feels. If there's genuinely a pressing need for a majority for dark mode on every site, the market will work itself out.
