iOS 14.3 Beta 1 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[christian.terra]

Anyone else noticing search in iMessages isn’t really working anymore. It used to find messages from a while ago. Now I can only get from the last day or so. Really annoying.

I’m seeing this as well... may need to reindex?

SO... other than the Messages issues is this overall pretty good? I know a lot of times only the people with problems are posting so how is everybody else faring?

This is actually the first time since, well as long as I can remember that I haven't immediately jumped on a beta and it's mostly because I loooooove how my 12 Pro is running.

What about the WIFI drops? Fixed?

Yes, same here. It bugs me that I can’t go back to certain messages I’m fond of because they don’t pop up in the search results.

Search is working fine for me in messages on my iPad

If anyone in the thread has a controller that shipped with the Xbox Series X or Series S and/or bought one separately, can they test it out and see if it works? Currently it connects to 14.2 but doesn't seem to function beyond that.

I’m assuming this is a big? It’s same deal and same services? Anyone else have double options like this?

 

[DimaVR]

cause is iOS 14.2 I only had 3 option for subscription you know and after yesterday update now I have double subscription for 29.99 option? Strange, I’m going to hard reboot now? Maybe it will be fixed?

From what I know, it was a bug that the suggestions folder wasn't appearing for some people in 14.0. It was always there on mine.

Maybe if it offered usable suggestions?

Mine is currently showing:
Watch - why?
Testflight - haven't used in a couple of months
Calendar - frequent use
Tips - Never use

and it changes off and on .....

Was just testing that. Can't get it to pull from earlier than a day or two.

Not seeing a whole lot of fixes from 14.2
Feels "smoother?" and some things seem a bit better, some new options, but overall I am still finding the same bugs.

I’m finding this beta very smooth as others have stated. Also, 14.2 public had a bug for me where my alarm would always go off with “Radar” despite having it set to something else. That is fixed for me in 14.3. Battery seems better but still too early to tell for sure.

Does this fix the 14.2 final bug where widget stacks break?

Public beta is out

Thank you both for taking the time to respond. Seems like a safe bet considering I've likely installed much worse with reckless abandon. Here we go!

Is there anything interesting added to 14.3 at all?

Cardio Fitness notifications if you have an Apple Watch on the 7.2 beta. 😌

I don’t.

 

[cbreze]

Those who had the message notification bug is it still an issue or does it appear fixed? I’ve only received 2 messages so far today and both came in loud and clear.

One of these things worked for me:
1) turn icloud messages off then back on
2) go to settings/siri/messages and turn everything off, restart phone, turn everything back on
3) did an icloud back up


Not sure which one did the trick but all my attachments/links/search is now there.

Weird... iOS 14.3 ipsw file downloaded from the dev page. Trying to update iPhone 12 Pro Max to it and it says it's not compatible. Definitely downloaded the right one-- even redownloaded to make sure. Huh.

FWIW, the 14.2 release IPSW throws the same error when trying to update via Big Sur — and that one is actually an iPhone 12 Pro Max-specific file!

 

[rocknrolldoggy]

Interesting "bug" I encountered on my 11 Pro Max. Voicemail tab in phone app disappeared after update. I have a Verizon physical SIM and an ATT eSIM. If I turn off the ATT eSIM, then the vm tab reappears. Tried different combos and have restarted, but only way I could find to get it back.

After searching, is there a “See all” button at the top right of the search results? I’m on 14.1; if I search I have 3 results appear and then a “See all” button which will then show all of the rest.

 

[Pearsey]

Please fix the raised black levels! Please

Yeah, I’m on it now. I’ll let you know.

Also hope the horrible keyboard lag is gone in Messages.

Not seen this on the 12. Sounds rubbish though. Two steps forward, 17 back.

Ok, back to my pixel again. I’m tired of missing messages and I was hoping it was fixed in this update. First two came thru fine then the 3rd I just happened to notice when I checked the phone, came thru about 40 minutes earlier. Sitting right next to the phone doing some work on my laptop and nothing, no alert, no screen wake up, nothing. Bummed as I enjoy iOS 14.3, very smooth and no other complaints.
