If you see “iPadOS” naming as anything other than a marketing gimmick, it’s not me that doesn’t understand what they are doing.

You just had flashlight on for 5 hours?
Anyone else having an issue using "Hey Siri" to send a text when the phone is locked? XS Max here on Beta 8 but have had the issue for the last few Betas. When the phone is locked and you say "Hey Siri, text such and such", she says you'll need to unlock your phone first and then it still only takes you to the messaging screen. You still need to type in or use voice text to send the text.
Yes, I have to. I work and live in a pretty dark area. I couldn’t find any benchmarks with torch on all the time.
Why not use an actual flash light?
I'd say your battery is doing well with the LED flash on for 5 hours. That's a pretty big battery consumer given the lumens it puts out.
I'm imagining you wearing a miner's helmet with an iPhone mounted in the front where the normal torch/flashlight would be. LOL!
I agree, I don’t find any issues with it, still trying to remind myself even whilst typing this that it exists, I love it personally.

I just tested this on my iPhone XS, worked fine.
Share ETA is still missing
+1
Used it once a few betas ago. Thought I was imagining it was there in the first place.
I took Outlook stuff off of my XS Max. My work Exchange account is pretty much fine. Usually.
My emails in Mail are now starting to get delayed receiving emails and the badge count is also delayed. As soon as I open Mail, new emails flood in and the badge count updates. If I don't open Mail, there's a long delay.
If you've got email problems, have you done a fresh install or have you been upgrading in place across the beta releases? I'm aware upgrading in place is a legitimate way of installing, just trying to narrow down what's going on.
Done the OTA.
Done the fresh install.
Done the remove Mail app and then reinstall all Mail Accounts.
Each corrected some bugs and revealed others. Some that disappeared reappeared while new ones faded after a day or two. Freakingly unstable / inconsistent function.
I've done one fresh install in b4 and have been updating via IPSW file for the rest of the beta releases. I've also deleted the Mail app and re-installed it for every other beta release.
For me, Mail is much better in b8 compared to b5, b6 and b7. If they are still working on Mail, I would guess that these last issues will be fixed in b9.
I've always used the stock Mail app, but due to these issues I installed Outlook an hour ago and set up my IMAP account.
An email has just arrived. Outlook notified me on my phone. A second later, my laptop (which can use IMAP IDLE so should get mails pretty much immediately) notified me. Apple's stock Mail app on my phone? Nothing yet. I'm going to time it. And then see whether the notification badge actually shows up on the icon.
I'm not sure I can stick with Outlook though as it doesn't seem to handle multiple "send from" addresses, which Apple's Mail can. I own a domain and often send emails from, for example: x@domain.com, y@domain.com etc and Mail smartly works out which address was used for the received email and automatically picks it for the reply (assuming the address is added in settings). Outlook doesn't support this as far as I can tell. Shame. I also don't want to use their calendar but it seems baked in.
Edit: Apple Mail notification came through. As it doesn't support IDLE and it's configured to fetch every 15 minutes, it's to be expected that it won't come immediately. Plus point to Outlook here. And on unlocking my phone ... badge on Outlook, nothing on Apple Mail. I deleted the main from Apple Mail and opened Outlook mail 10 seconds later, and it deleted it there. Apple Mail needs a refresh to work out what's going on if I delete an email from another app or device. Another plus to Outlook.

I went back to 12.4 and outlook emails and calendar seem ok (albeit slow). Just going to install iOS 13 b8 again...
That is my issue with the stock Mail app for Gmail accounts, it doesnt do aliases (without a workaround of doing a generic IMAP account which raises other issues).
In Outlook go to settings, click on the account, advanced settings and then you will see add alias if it's domain email through G Suite. What is in advanced settings will vary by account type though.
At least for my domain email through G Suite I can do aliases which the stock mail app can't
I don't use any google mail stuff, so it seems things work the other way around for me. I can create aliases in the stock Mail app but not in Outlook. We should lock Apple and MS email development teams in a room and not let them out until they release an app we're all happy with.
Or not. I guess it'll be like the car Homer Simpson designed.
I wasn’t either... up until beta 7. Beta 8 has improved but it isn’t showing new emails. New emails don’t come up unless I go into the mail app and refresh it manually.
I’m using Spark now and never going back. Spark is better than the mail app has ever been.
Really? I've always wondered about this. When my battery is critical it won't let me turn on the flashlight or take a picture with flash and yet I can edit 4K video in iMovie on iOS in the same battery state. Never understood that. Especially considering LEDs (I thought) consumed very low energy.
