iOS 14.4 Beta 1 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[Ansath]

Anyone been able to test and see if the PS5 controller is now compatible?

The stutter when closing an app is still happening on the 12 pro Max. However I have yet to see it go to app switcher rather than Home Screen, which may be temporary... will report back if it’s happening again

Never seen that issue on my 12 Pro Max from launch until 14.3.

14.3 is so good, I wonder if 14.4 builds on it or takes something back, from the iPhone 8. Ah, downloading anyway. Let's see what we get with this one.

Tim is that you?

Well duh... Apple says it right there.

That’s a standard non intrusive line one uses. It does not mean much.

12 ProMax
Playing with the camera. I doubt this is 14.4 - seeing a lot of reflection on 2.5x lens especially when any led light is in frame. Seeing it also with fireplace fire shots.... quite a bit more than I am seeing with the 2x on the 11 ProMax.

Anyway, not seeing anything different between 14.3 and 14.4 for the camera. More testing to come.

Note: I was out snapping some shots of neighbors XMas decorations.

Mine works correctly when checked on the iPad first, they sync to my phone and watch but when I check on the iPhone phone first they sync on the watch but not the iPad. I might try to DFU the iPhone. Not sure if it’s worth losing everything on it and staring over though...

FYI...I have the exact same issue with SMS sync, and my iPhone 12 was setup as new from the get go. My wife’s 12 mini has the same problem as well, and hers was restored from a backup.

Saying what I found true for my devices does not make me Tim.

When using selfi mode on camera from lock screen if you don’t touch the screen for a while then it dims and you can’t see the screen ... anyone else have this? yes I have reported it.

Does the sms notifications issues still remain in 14.4 beta 1?

Well - same holds true for almost any release information given by Apple. Especially the 2nd sentence...😈

It seems like I can't win with those who want to make me Tim. 😂

Same here on my XS. Stuttering in Safari as well.

There are / have been a few ...

Does iOS throttle the screen refresh rate?

I faced a problem 7 years ago that has not been solved yet. I use Icloud mail, and I don't get push notifications. I rebooted my phone, logged out and logged in to my Apple ID, and turned off syncing and push. Support from senior specialists does not help. They promise a callback and everything is useless. Until I log in to the mail app and pull the screen down to update, new emails won't load.

I think I have found a temporary solution to the annoying sms notification issue I have before. For me was to turn off iMessage from my Mac. I receiving now notifications to sms on my iPhone 12 Pro Max, both sound and a red badge on the message icon. This is a only temporary solution and I hope that Apple will find a good solution soon.

I guess the added emoji isn't enough to signify the tongue-in-cheek nature of my post.

I have a similar issue where using the camera from the lock screen shortcut freezes the app completely. I have to usually exit the camera, unlock the phone and open it from my home screen to get it to work. (iPhone 12 Pro iOS 14.3)

I hope this is able to fix the issue with the wireless chargers not working (specifically my Mophie Charge Stream Pad+). Has anyone else had issues with this specific charger since updating to the new beta? I'm starting to feel like it's a hardware compatibility issue and that it will never be fixed.

Two different wireless chargers working fine. Anker and Belkin.
