All options under iOS settings > Privacy > Location Services > System Settings are also toggled on.
significant locations are toggled on.
more than one month has passed.
yet optimised charging has not been triggered once.

People do not expect iOS/ iPadOS to perform up to the mark on flagship devices from the get go. At least that’s what I feel people think here. I don’t know if this sample at MR is fit enough to be extrapolated on to a larger populace, but Apple’s software performance on flagship devices on launch day seems to suggest people don’t care.

You need to look at the posters and why. Most here have an observation, have a question, answering a questions, or posting beta/new function results.

I suspect based on my limited interaction, be it Android or iOS, the common “every phone has issues” is a common acceptance.

Take a long thread and start scrolling up to view recent posts. After a few screen loads, Messages pops me right back to the latest entry instead of the area I was scrolling to.
I have seen this before in a couple of 14.x betas. Looks like it is back for 14.4 b2.

12 ProMax does not exhibit this behavior.

Is anyone having trouble adding widgets to smart stacks in this beta?

Edit: Nevermind, the issue is I had too many widgets in my stack, I had to remove one
 
When receiving messages the notification pop up show only a phone number not a contact name. Anyone else have this issue. Want to know if it’s a beta issue or not. Started happen after b2 install.

[Edit] I see someone further back was having this issue so I’ll also report it. Sorry search on Tapatalk sucks.

I don't have this issue.
Beta 2.

I found this issue to occur for a contact that was already present in Messages, and the contact was using iMessage technology, not SMS. The issue resolved for me after pinning the contact and unpinning again. This is an odd bug that might not be occurring as commonly for everyone.

If it helps, my contact has a German number.

When viewing photos in gallery, when swiping up to minimize photo the thumbnail flickers a little once minimized. Noticeable on white or light colored photos.
 
Does anyone get screens that look like this when you try to pick photos to use in an app such as Twitter or Tapatalk? Been happening since the 14.0 betas. Seems finally to be fixed on my iPad Pro (2018 - 11”) but not on my iPhone 12 Pro Max. And, yes, I do select “Select More Photos”. Sometimes I get more photos, sometimes all photos and sometimes no photos.

Reported several times.

I have a question ? Has anyone else had the problem of not getting a audio alert when they get a text message,I have had this issue for a long time, and have been hoping one of these beta's would fix it but so far still no luck.

Is there a fix for this or doesn't anyone else have this problem? thank you for any friendly answers.

I did open contacts and do a hard reset. Neither helped. Now that it’s been mentioned, I think the contacts this is happening to are my pinned ones. I will unpin and re-pin to see if that fixes it. I suspect it will.

[edit] unpinning and re-pinning worked.

Did you by chance at some point intentionally or unintentionally select this when a message came in?

I get various alerts randomly coming in silently. It's not consistent even across apps. The volumes (ringer/alert and media/speaker) are still messed up and often change to match each other, although it's better than it was.

Any update on Xbox Series X controller support? Mine pairs but is unusable in games on this beta. Am I missing a trick to make it work?

I find that Contacts that have a custom tone, sometimes I will not get an audio. Usually I get them though.
 
Not sure, But I remember reading in some apple documents that this requires to be enabled for opt charge to work.

Here: https://support.apple.com/en-hk/HT210512

Wow!
So for it to work you have to allow Apple to track you on Maps?

From the link...
“ If Optimized Battery Charging doesn't activate
Optimized charging is designed to engage only in locations where you spend the most time, such as your home and place of work. The feature doesn't engage when your usage habits are more variable, such as when you travel. Because of this, some location settings must be enabled for Optimized Battery Charging to activate. None of the location information used for this feature is sent to Apple.
Here are a list of settings that must be enabled:
Settings > Privacy > Location Services > Location Services.
Settings > Privacy > Location Services > System Services > System Customization.
Settings > Privacy > Location Services > System Services > Significant Locations > Significant Locations.”
