so this watch/face id unlock only work for unlocking the phone, not faceid for authenticating in apps.. I hope they add that too.
Got a tip for us?

Sorry but that is a terrible idea. This would allow a thief to just swipe your phone off the table and immediately unlock it before they run off.
I still can’t believe that Apple is unable or unwilling to change FaceId in such a way that you don’t need to touch your phone to unlock it.
So now I need to buy a watch to be able to do that. A 1000 Dollar device that is not protecting my health and makes me touch the Surface also to unlock my phone.
Its not aceptable in pandemic times.

Disabling HTTP/3 (with all other experimental features enabled except for the four that start with Disable) resolves all of my Safari rendering issues - tested against 20 or so pages, half of which were broken with HTTP/3 enabled.

Your worried about touching your phone and you’ve just typed this how? A keyboard, how is that different from a phone?
Yep, and a number of other apps (not just the managed Microsoft ones). Most apps that are crashing appear to be doing so as soon as they attempt network access. Seeing the same thing happen with Apollo, Mint, Discord, UniFi Network and UniFi Protect, Swarm, Nextdoor, among other things.
Edit: Apparently, if you put the phone in airplane mode first, open the app, and then disable airplane mode after a bit, it works. Sometimes. Not sure what's going on here.
Edit2: Figured out the fix for most apps, in post #115. PS App still crashes.

I guess for those of us who wear our wrist on the left arm but have right hand drive vehicles, using the phone is easier than the arm!
Touched it at Home After washing my hands. Why don’t you read the Post again and if you want to
answer or comment do so about the post.
I’ll add to this… for anyone having the issue of various apps crashing on start (other than the managed Microsoft apps or similar), also make sure HTTP/3 is disabled in Settings -> Developer. If you don’t have the Developer menu enabled, you need to hook your phone up to a Mac with the new Xcode beta open and running.
I just tested it on mine. I got it to unlock several times when my face was not in frame. Also got it to unlock while I was wearing a mask and had the entire top half of my face covered with my hands. For me this seems to work just like the Android unlock with bluetooth feature.
Same here. Anything work related that is MS and secure all fail on app load.
You watch movies too much, mate. You really think that a thief (a regular thief) will hold on a few moments to think wether or not the iPhone is or is not paired with a Watch and is or is not protected by FaceID, and then make the decision to quickly steal it from your table and quickly unlock it "before it's too late" ?
Come on...
Apple previously told that yes, they could have implemented a feature to allow FaceID recognition even with the mask on, but this would lower the level of security and protection and Apple is not willing to do that. Unlocking the phone with half the face visible would reduce the accuracy of the recognition and could be a potential breach...
Now the Apple Watch paired solution is a great addition for those who own one. I'm sure Apple is thinking of something more convenient for iPhone 13, but in the meanwhile, that's what we get.
I can’t enable the unlock with apple watch feature. I get a spinning wheel and it says “unable to communicate with Apple Watch.”
I had that after the initial update, but opened Watch , saw the “watch has been updated “ message an then tried again…. It then worked fine after
An annoying issue that I and many other iPhone users had since 2014 has been resolved in this iOS Beta, it only took them 7 years 😂
After deleting some auto-saved public wifi passwords they would just reappear the next time you visited the Passwords section of the settings menu!
I can now confirm that the issue has be resolved in this Beta 🎉🎉🎉
