All Devices iOS 13 Beta 6 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[PeteDin206]

I seem to be stuck on B5 with no OTA showing up for B6. Anyone have thoughts? I've been submitting bugs regularly and would like to see if any of them are actually fixed on the newer release.

I've had a notification badge on the settings icon since I updated and can't figure out what it means. Anyone else?

had the same thing, I just shut down, rebooted, and it went away

 

[MrWeenus]

I don’t see that. Do you have a picture?

Look at the highlight of the Private button. Notice the padding on the right is way bigger than the one on the left.

The mail app is a desaster. And it always was. I want to switch to Outlook but it doesn’t have dark mode and no support for local calendars.

Mail is definitely worse in b6 versus b5 and b5 wasn't good either. I'm now constantly getting emails that show up blank and have to force-quit Mail most of the time now to just read plain-text type emails.

I just installed Outlook and using the stock iCal app for my calendar. Seems to work fine this way.

Public beta coming

 

[johannnn]

How are they going to release the Public Beta with this whole AW beta requirement? Seems like it’s going to cause several people to have to stay on Beta 5 or unknowingly screw up their watch connecting. It was a dumb move by Apple.

Wanna explain this for me?

Thank you for pointing out Mail on 6 is even worse. Think I’ll stay on 5 for now.

 

[Broken Hope]

Mail has been flawless on both my iPad Pro and iPhone X, not sure what the issues are but I’m not having them.

I today saw the in General/Profiles, I have to profiles installed, 1 for iOS 13 beta and another one that I never saw. Anyone?

That second profile is because you have Enhanced Beta Feedback toggled in your Analytics settings.

Public beta 5 is out OTA.

My Watch is still on beta 5 while my phone is on beta 6, working fine.

Same

Pretty what you are seeing an optical illusion. Change your wallpaper to all one color and see if things are not centered.

It’s always been white in third party apps because Apple is making the poor design decision not to make it system wide. It’s only black in stock Apple apps and white everywhere else. Totally nonsensical and distracts from the dark mode experience.

It's because apps not yet linked against the iOS 13 SDK—i.e., all App Store apps until next month—can’t change their appearance for Dark Mode. You may wish to seek out public TestFlight betas for apps where this bothers you; they may have betas available with support for iOS 13 and Dark Mode.

Boy this one refuses to die. I will post one more time: the requirement on the Watch side is to be at least at Beta 2 only. So, unless you downloaded WatchOS 6 beta 1 and have stayed there, you're fine.

If you don't believe me, I have reproduced the documentation below.

 

[AdamNC]

But what about those who are not doing the watch beta because they are not developers? Like me. And I am not going to cheat the system.

I really like the calendar section in outlook. But I miss my holidays. Have to look for something else. I hope we will get Dark Mode in Outlook soon.

What the hell are you talking about? I'm talking about the highlight of the button in the bottom left corner of the screen. The wallpaper has no white in it, it has nothing to do with the wallpaper.

 

[Chazzle]

I’m pretty sure the message is saying (not clearly) that IF you are running watchOS 6 beta, then you need to be on at least watchOS 6 beta 2 before you update your phone to iOS 13 beta 6, or your watch and phone cannot connect.

However, I believe that if you just kept your watch on watchOS 5 and you haven’t installed the beta on your watch, you are fine.

I have not personally confirmed this, so if anyone could let us know if you are running watchOS 5 (non beta) and have updated to the most recent iOS 13 beta, please share.

Yours is definitely misaligned. However, no issue on my 7.

Anyone with X not being able to activate flashlight and camera from lock screen. Anyone know a fix

 

[C DM]

One example that I've just discovered is the highlight of the "Private" button in Safari tabs. In beta 4 (and older) it was misaligned, in beta 5 it was fixed and now in beta 6 it is misaligned again.

It's an example of a minor visual inconsistency, but it doesn't seem like it demonstrates that a lot of bug fixes have been rolled back.

Agreed. There are definitely some graphical issues, but I certainly don’t consider them to indicate a regression in bug fixes.
One issue I have had for the past couple betas is the alignment on the Favorites widget. It defaults to being too far to the left, but if I tap to see more favorites, then hide them again, it aligns. See below.

Yes. Report it.

 

[deep1]

Anyone have issue with adguard pro? system wide blocking works fine on WiFi but not on mobile data, can’t even connect on mobile data. Any idea?

Poorly written by Apple but I don't think it has any impact on anything OTHER than WatchOS 6 beta 1. I was able to run it just fine before I upgraded my Watch to WatchOS 6. But you make a good point. I would be cautious until it is clarified.

EDIT: Thinking further about this: The warning is in the Release Notes for WatchOS 6 beta 6. Presumably, you would not be reading these notes unless you were (1) a developer and (2) going to install Beta 6. No one else (public beta testers on iOS) would be viewing these (again, presumably). So I think you are fine as you would not be expected to see this warning as a public iOS beta tester.

agree it's poorly written. so can i put the ios13 PB beta on my phone while leaving my watch on 5.3? that's all i want to know.
