I was in my car, connected wirelessly to CarPlay (Alpine 107-ILX), wife was driving. I pulled down on the screen to search and the screen went black and the keyboard disappeared - just looking at a totally black screen with no icons or indicators. Nothing I did got me back to the home screen of allowed me to search. Had to do a hard reboot to get out of it.
Anyone else seen anything like this? This is the first issue of a serious nature running any of the iOS 13 betas... been absolutely fine ever since.

I would love to see how Apple deals with this time stamp lyrics thing, cause lyrics scrolling with song is not new, and I enjoyed that for a few years on cheap MP4 players before moving to iOS.I realised mine does that too now. Cause before it displays an unorganised lyrics.
With that being said, right now I only hope they can fix this spinning wheel thing when displaying lyrics.
Yes.

When sharing from photos, the share sheet some times closes automatically, and if you are on landscape like in youtube and switch to WP it could bring the keyboard and text up at the middle of the screen. Some times, it gets a black or white screen and you have to close de app, but it is really useable in the beta.
Question. I have an 2018 Audi Q3(no CarPlay unfortunately) and when I start the car and have Bluetooth on, it takes at least 30-45 seconds to connect. Last year I had a Toyota Prius as a rental and it connected IMMEDIATELY. As soon as I turned the car on it connected in a second. Does anyone know why it does this with my Audi? Considering it’s a new vehicle I don’t know why it takes long to connect
So with focos I can actually take a pic but within focos when I try to edit that pic I get an error message.
I can edit portrait pics that were taken in iOS 12.
Also when I use an app like slor within the photos app to edit a focos portrait pic I get a “no depth information” message.
when I darkroom I try to edit the focos pic and get another depth error.

Experiencing a strange bug from time to time, which may or may not be the aftermath of setting a still wallpaper.
When opening or jumping into an app, the animation when doing so slides the app view in from the right side of the screen. It moves in right to left, instead of expanding out of its respective icon based on its home-screen placement.

Am I the only one who can't do iCloud backup on their iPhone Xs?
My last back up WAS June 25, I believe that's when I tried the first public beta.
Had problems backing up both on WiFi and iTunes.
Tried almost anything except restore to factory - but I've already deleted by back up since one wiseass on the internet said you should try deleting your back up - hooray to that! (and I'm the gullible fool who did it!)
Anyway, I'm running without backups for about a month now. I even contacted Apple Support and they gave me a call -but still nothing!
Scrolled through known issues and there was a mention of iCloud backup not completing but it's already the third public beta and why am I the only one making a big issue out of this? Is this minor? Should I not panic?
Thanks guys in advance!
By the way, I've been here since forever - like iPod Touch gen 2 era - forever! Why am I tagged as a "Macrumors newbie"? Hurts my feelings = (
any leads welcome!

I just went out to my car to see if I could recreate this, but I never ran into the issue. I tried several scenarios with various apps running or on different home screen pages, but it always worked as expected.
I'm not hooked up wirelessly, though.
This would be a good idea.
Have you suggested it in the Beta Feedback app?

You make some excellent points, should Apple stick with their current proposition of leaving Dark Mode for News down to the Publishers.
We all know though that not all Publishers will act upon this, so can you imagine how jarring an experience it will be to keep going back and forward from Brightly Lit and Dark articles when supposedly in Dark mode?
Apple usually like to take full control of everything. I wish they’d take system-wide control of this.
Have you tried Smart Invert once you’ve accessed a particular News article?
They look great and it proves the base technology is there for a proper solution to this issue.

Happy to report that after two days, this beta has been excellent on my iPad Pro. Much fewer bugs than expected, and the standout feature for me - Desktop Safari browsing - hugely improves the usefulness of the iPad. I won’t install this on my phone just yet, but it’s definitely staying on this iPad.
Can’t seem to open Safari links in a new tab anymore despite Settings for Safari ‘open links’ being set to ‘in a new tab’. 
I have only "Add more information" and "Close feedback" there. It's interesting that the app is 50% in English and 50% in German.
Did that for me also. Eventually I gave up, was about to download Outlook, but all of a sudden there was the Mail app, downloaded to my phone.....
Unfortunately it still did not fix the issues.... Threaded emails messed up, error when syncing iCloud email, slow (shows "Connecting....") for at least 20 seconds, and sometimes have to force close the Mail app than restart to get it to sync fully.
Maybe I should just use the Outlook app for now
Same thing happened. I tried 3 other mail apps. Honestly, they were all terrible. Maybe I’m just so used to the stock app, but the others were not easy/intuitive at all. Once it redownloaded, I switched mail off and on in iCloud settings and everything was fixed. For now at least.

Yea I’m not sure. It eventually just downloaded and I toggled Mail in iCloud and I am good for now.
I'm not sure if anyone else had the same issue as me, but I had to switch off this beta because of it (I reported).
My connection to TMobile and wifi has been an ultimate disaster since this beta. My connection on both was dropping like crazy to the point that the phone was unusable at home on my wifi and outdoors while driving around town.
I know it's a beta (which is why I reported it), and thankfully rolling back to iOS 12 is a piece of cake with a backup and quick internet. I've gotta sit this one out until connection issues resolve a bit more: UI issues don't bother me, but an iffy modem does.

I am still having a problem with some, not all, Gmail messages not properly downloading from the server. All messages download fine if I use the Gmail app. I’ve reported this to Apple. Anyone have a similar issue?
My Xs is backing up fine to iCloud.
First suggestion to you is to back up using iTunes. At least then you have something. Archive that backup (Google how to do this). Archiving is a way of ensuring that this backup is not overwritten by a subsequent backup.
Then, you might downgrade to iOS 12 and then upgrade back to iOS 13 on a clean install to see if this fixes the problem. Then (and only once you’ve verified that iCloud backup is working as expected) you can restore the archived backup. You might then find that iCloud backup stops working, in which event you’ll know that the issue is some corruption in the backed up configuration. If that’s the case, you can either go through the process again and NOT reinstall the backed up data (knowing it’s still there if you need it) or simply stand pat and see if a subsequent bets fixes the issue.
Make sure to report the issue, if you haven’t already.
I have not tried Smart Invert, but will. I’m sure it is a big improvement for night time reading.
One thing to consider here is that Apple may be(and likely is) prevented contractually from altering the appearance of the publishers’ content. If you think about it, the look of well known publications (NatGeo for example) is, in some ways as distinctive as the content. These publishers will not want Apple messing with the look of their pages at all, even to change the more from light to dark. They will insist on doing this themselves.
Public Beta on my previous phone. The interesting option is that I can close the Feedbacks.
Been mentioned dozens of times. Please report it if you haven’t done so already.
