Siri shortcuts seem to finally let me delete them permanently.

for some reason the past few betas on my old iPhone 7 have completely killed my battery. like I could be at 75% one minute, look over a few minutes later and be at like 54%.
on a side note, ive been using this beta and others on my iPhone X with no big issues. the mail issue and the instagram messaging bug seems to be rectified.
Edit, on my iPhone 7 which has been sitting at idle and unused since fully charged, looks like Siri is draining the battery. And I literally haven’t used Siri on this phone in months.

Having the same issues so I went back to Gmail for now. I know 3rd party app, but surprisingly it works very well on my iPhone 7. I'll revisit the email issues with each new beta release to see if it's been fixed.
Yet people on here claim the iPhone 6s and Plus are too old to use and they feel people need to upgrade cause it’s too old. In a roundabout way they’re calling it a piece of junk. The iPhone 6s was a major upgrade from the 6 and Plus. The A9 is still a powerful chip and was way ahead of its time back in 2015. The two models having 2GB of RAM was something Apple needed to do, and they did cause they learned their lesson from how bad the 6 was with only two iOS versions later.
Walmart has the 32GB iPhone 6s Plus on sale for $199 and convinced my friend to upgrade from his 6. He kept complaining that the battery life on that is horrible and heats up easily. That phone would be a lot better overall if they would’ve put an extra gig of RAM in it. But instead they wanted to cut down on the cost. Such a mistake. I’m glad they learned their lesson from that.
I have to say the 6s and Plus has been improving in performance since the very first beta of iOS 12.0. Worked better than the final version of iOS 11. How sad is that? Lol. But I’d hold onto your phone if you like it and don’t feel the need to upgrade. I have a feeling it’ll make it to iOS 14. 6 years of support like the 5s did.
They did an awesome job with what hardware is in them with the 6s as well as the iPad Air 2. Those two devices are bad*** and no phone/tablet beats it in terms of long term reliability, at least for now until another iPad ages well even more. They are aging extremely well.
Not here. Most significant issue I’m having is the distinct lag between the time I get a notification (which can appear both in Notification Center and my Watch) and when the Mail item becomes available to interact with in the mailbox. I assume some sort of preview header is sent out ahead of the full download and the timing seems more “off” lately.
Hi guys,
Strange bug since dev beta 7 for me on iPhone X:
The 1st app icon located at the upper left corner of the 1st homescreen doesn’t open at 1st touch.
I tried to change the app (which is iMessage for me) with an other, and the other app react as the previous one.
I tried to reproduce that behavior on an other screen of the homescreen, and it never happen...
I can see the icon blinking, so I presume that the touchscreen is ok, but the app doesn’t launch until I touch it another time.
Any idea ?
Thanks.
Franck
EDIT 1:
Ok, I did more tests:
I can now reproduce the bug. Here is the way to reproduce:
- swipe to one of your homescreen page.
- swipe up from the bottom of the screen to go directly to 1st page of the homescreen.
- try to launch any app.
- the 1st touch you do on the app doesn’t launch it. It only blinks one time and doesn’t launch.
- if you touch it a 2nd time, it launches.
EDIT 2: I tried on an iPhone XR with dev beta 8 and it doesn’t happen. Specific to iPhone X.
Can someone confirm ?
Thanks.

You will
you will not have badge if you’re with automatic updates. When you have an app or more to update, try to disable automatic updates and you will see the badge.
You just REALLY don’t understand what they are doing, do you? That’s what makes your objections so amusing.
Lost all of my old mail and can't get them back as of yet. It's still on my iMac though. Is anybody else seeing this problem?
Thanks
Thanks

My Air 2 still feels like new after these recent betas (and since iOS 12). Apple really put their foot into the hardware on those and agree if it had more RAM it’d last even longer. Upgraded my Plus to the X on launch and loved the vast differences, but mainly a personal change than “needed” if that makes sense. Gonna probably rock the Air 2 for another year and see what the next Pro will have
Can confirm. iPX and followed your steps. Make sure to report
Thanks for confirmation !
Reported
‘they must read them considering some people occasionally hear back from them.
They live only for that
They actually do. I’ve gotten replies from Apple via Feedback asking if its been resolved with the latest release, or asking for more details, diagnosis etc. This is both on my iPhone and Mac.
It has some word comprehension issues, particularly with double letters. I tried to type “carry” this morning on the iPad OS version (please, please Apple, bring this to the full sized keyboard. Pretty please!). I got “Cary”, “Casey” and a couple of other variants. Never “carry”. Of course, I just tried this on my iPhone XS and it worked perfectly. But it should also have worked perfectly on my IPP.
My hope is that they are just fine tuning the algorithms for this and that the final result will be polished. I keep telling myself that I can’t expect it to be perfect during the betas, as I don’t know what they’re doing in the background to see what works and what doesn’t. It may be that they want it to fail on something like “carry” so that they can log what the user corrects it to, so they can fine tune things based on that manual input. They’ve done that for years with dictation input (ambiguous words with blue underlining that you can correct).
Cheers. I don’t know what the hell is going on with mine. But I’ve now lost a years worth of health/activity data after setting my phone up from new. Still with the same email and calendar problems. Meanwhile the iPad running the same beta and checking the same accounts is absolutely fine. I’m now restoring my phone again but it seems to be taking hours. I’m losing the will to live with this load of crap.
XS Max here, works for me too but I'm hesitant in calling this a bug, the animation when swiping up is quite slow and apps don't launch until it is 100% complete. Technically ,you don't have to click on the app twice, you just need to wait a second or so until the animation is fully over. It's not limited to the leftmost app in the top row either.
EDIT: On an unrelated note, I found a bug that triggers my OCD on the iPad Pro 11, latest beta: in portrait mode when swiping left very slowly to reveal the widgets you can see the blur animation is glitchy, as if it's blurring a lower-res version of the home screen. Can't unsee it.
