Messages notifications still ding when you are in the actual messaging thread and receive a new message. Annoying. Preferred the old way I believe it just made just a little whoosh sound rather than playing the actual notification sound assigned to it.
Yup.. definitely annoying. I keep Messages app as a SlideOver as well, and I continue have to see it blank when I first open it. I'll have to open another app from SlideOver, then go back to Message app in order for it to work.
Yes was having the messages issue in the previous beta. Reported it. Installing DB 6 now.This beta didn't fix two of the most annoying bugs from Beta 5 on my 2018 12.9" iPP
1. Still cannot re-arrange or add apps to a folder that's in the dock. I have to move the folder to the home screen, make my changes and then move the folder back to the dock.
2. When sliding the Messages app over, the entire app is greyed out. I keep Messages in slideover at all times and use this all the time. This bug is the worst!!! Anyone else having this issue?

Maybe they are testing the reaction to the changes... This is beta and it is intended to be tested. You should have known that before installing the beta.
That's what I've been doing in the meantime as well and it's definitely a pain! Glad to know I'm not the only one. Please report this as well if you haven't already!
Lmao what. They can do whatever they want in beta software. It's all about experimentation and customer feedback. That's why public betas exist...
They can make iOS all pink for all I care - if they get the feedback they're looking for then it'll have been well worth it. I bet some of the best features of iOS over the years came directly from customer feedback during beta cycles.
please just stop, you're literally ruining the beta-following community with that kind of negativity. As a developer myself I'd have a negative reaction to seeing people calling me a moron because I experimented with something during a beta in the hopes of adding something that most people would enjoy/prefer. Seriously, install iOS 12, we don't need this
Aw I actually liked the more fine tuning. Maybe 24 is the magic number lol
Makes sense with rumored event in September. Gives them about a month to get everything ironed out.
I don’t understand how they still haven’t managed to fix the mail app. It’s beta 6 already.
A number of betas back I and a number of others signed out of iCloud and then back in and that seems to take care of most of the mail.app issues
For those few who were having issues with Beta 5 and WatchOS 5.3 (battery drain) this seems (at least for me, so far) to have fixed it (there's also the thread I created regarding this, but posted here as well for those who did not check there).
Dark mode on home screen is definitely broken, it worked fine for me in previous betas. If you open a folder, you can see the folder background is darker, but returning to the home screen makes it lighter. Don’t want to do a Reset Settings, but if anyone is willing to, please report back on if that fixes the issue.
Still don't quite get the point of "Updates" being basically inconveniently hidden in a sense, while there are essentially repetitive and unnecessary "Games" and "Arcade" tabs.
