The constant preview-less links in the Messages app is really starting to make me rage.

Than

I saw this happen once within an hour after turning on dual SIM with 14.5B5. It has been stable since then for nearly a week.

Last time I had the issue happen before that was with one of the last 14.4 betas, before they had fixed the Verizon "No Service" issue and issue with 5G DSS networks causing the baseband to crash in the 14.4 RC.

I would report it in the Apple Feedback app. Make sure enhanced beta analytics is turned on in Settings, reproduce the issue, then open the Feedback issue, let it do a sysdiagnose and gather the baseband logs (takes several minutes).

Thank you, submitted a second bug report with enhanced beta analytics on, had missed that the first time.

Will keep tracking. But mostly going back to single SIM to have a functional phone.

Same thing is happening to me currently. I’ve also noticed I’ve lost about 10GB of space on my phone (and still dropping) that can’t be reclaimed.

Please report too! I reported, hopefully we can elevate.

That’s what I was most hoping for. I don’t see any, though.

Hello, I am still using 14.2, do you the following fixed:

mail - mail flagged with color other than red - some of the flagged would later change to flag red from other color;

podcast - jitter sound once a while even for downloaded episodes.

Tkyou

I have a very bad issue. When i receive notification on lock screen, im not able to go to homescreen.
I have to restart my phone to access homescreen... Anyone with same issue ?

Probably been listed in this thread, but '100% Charged' text is stuck on my Home Screen after unplugging my 12 PM from charging. Even if my battery drops to 80%, the 100% charged text still doesn't change. Have to restart my phone to get rid of it. Reported via feedback.

Possibly not a popular opinion here—and I count myself super-lucky to have nearly none of the reported bugs; widgets were frozen until this beta, iCloud tabs sync is a little glitchy—but I've just realized that I'm really happy and impressed with my current ecosystem of my iPhone XS with 14.5 and my M1 MBA with 11.3 and Safari Tech Preview 122. Things are fast, integrated, and (as folks here like to say) snappy!

You can 1) go back to the iOS 14.5 beta now and the watch will work, or 2) wait for 14.5 to be released and update to it (and WatchOS as well), until then you won’t be able to pair the watch with the device. You can also send the watch into Apple (I’ve had to do this a couple of times over the past few years) to be downgraded (AFAIK stores can’t do it, at least not the last time I had to, 1 1/2 years ago).

Yes, Apple store not able to downgrade my watch so send it to somewhere, I will get it within 7 days

Not sure if this is the right place to post it, but my I noticed my Apple Watch (Series 4) on the latest beta (of both watchOS and iOS) keeps re-adding the control center toggle for announce messages in the control center every time I restart the watch..

AirPods Pro - getting worse with Autoswitching.
Watching Youtube Video - movie using APP on IPP11.
I unlock my 12PM and the APP automatically switch to it for a moment then switch back to the IPP11. A minute or two later, does it again. Then it stops for a bit. Then it happens again. And again.
At no time am I running anything with sound on the 12PM during all of this.
Been getting worse day by day.
Hope a new beta shows soon.

I’ve been running this beta for a week now - installed it to take advantage of unlocking with watch when wearing a mask since I have a very long passcode.

Happy to report that the only bug I experienced and reported so far is the charge percentage staying on the Home Screen after unplugging the charger.

No issues otherwise, AirPods Pro switching between iPad and iPhone works perfectly, BT in my car works perfectly... those are the things I would have noticed.

One thing I was hoping to see was less overnight stdby drain, which is the same as before (about 8-10% in 7-8hrs of no activity shown).
