iOS 14 Beta 1 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

Its only me, but with widgets on homescreen, the widget page its useless now, dont you think?

There is something clunky about having to swipe from right edge on the last homepage to access the app library/ 'drawer', imo. It's Weird Craig showed the user removing all the homepages except the first two, to 'get to app library in just a few swipes'

should be a unique gesture on the first page to access app library, instead or on top of this current way to access it

It will be, once we can move other widgets around. For now, thats the only place for 3rd party widgets.

I (gently!) threw my phone down onto the sofa and all my living room lights came on!!!!

Then I remembered that I'd set up a double-tap on the back of the phone to run a shortcut that does just that.

I sent a small video yesterday to my sister and brother who both have Android and it went through. TMo to ATT.

Thx!
Going to have to play a bit.
We are all on ATT
iDevice to iDevice works for me. Add in an Android (Note 10 or Galaxy 8 are ones used) and it fails.

Not sure if its been posted...went through and didn't see any other post but i noticed on the battery widget app that sometime my apple watch shows up and other times it's missing (yes im wearing my watch the every time i check) anyone else noticing this??

Submitted feedback through the feedback app

Both are showing fine for my 11PM with the smart battery case, but I don't have any other accessories to test them.

Thanks, this worked! Need to get used to the new widgets....

Will be cool if they add different battery ones or make them resizable. With a smart battery case and no other accessories, you only need two slots so the other two are just wasted space.

How do you hide a page of apps?

Go into wiggle mode, then press the ... page indicators above the dock

I actually feel the opposite. I have all my apps set now so there isn't really room for widgets. I do like that you can put two smaller widgets on the widget screen next to each other. I may rearrange and make room for widgets on home screens once you can move third parties too.

While using Apple Pencil on Notes app on iPad, has anyone figured out a way to toggle scribble mode on and off? It seems that the only way to do that is through settings app. Would be helpful to have a toggle within notes....I'll log in a feedback, I guess.

I am sure I saw the Back Tap option once, but can’t locate it since. Anyone else?

Wow I just checked my phone. That’s more storage then I’ve allocated to my Windows VM! I’m sure it’s a bug but daaaaannng. Glad I have 256GB in my phone.

on my iPad with iPadOS 14 B1, "other" sucks up over 120GB. It's totally filled the device. Any ideas how to fix? or do we just wait...

...


They should ideally be making such improvements by the fall release, and if not, in later releases.

I hope ya‘ll report this in the feedback app early on before they go feature lock mode.

To anyone with exotic issues: did you restart your device after installing the beta? That usually helped during previous beta releases.

The Safari translation from English to Spanish is flawless, much better than Google Translate.

how did you enabled it?

 

[anticipate]

I had 500gb free....

haha omg! I wonder if it's actually taking up that much space.

EDIT: It definitely is. I tried to take some video and add a couple of apps - and the iPad filled right up and wouldn't let me do anything more. Be warned - iOS 14 will KILL your storage in this beta.

 

[iL15hts]

Enable what???

Sorry my mistake. I was talking about the translation on safari.

weird my smart battery case stays there but every now and then the watch disappears from the widget

Just posted the same thing, a whole page with excess widgets and search lacks focus and feels unnecessary. It would be better replaced with the App Library leaving the home screen pages for favourite apps and widgets.

Anyone tested on a 6S? How (slow) is it?

 

[rwilliams]

I'm happiest that the Music "Now Playing" screen is no longer white or black. It uses the album artwork to color the screen again. Please do not remove this again, Apple.

 

[OJCDEV]

Not a complaint but phone has been running warm today and battery has obviously taken a hit.

Hopefully this will settle over the next week or so before beta 2.

Ah! See, it’s a “new” German word and I have no idea how people in Germany interpret it. (I learned german from my grandparents as a child, and speak it conversationally. But they fled austria around 1940, and so all I learned was how to speak german like a Wiener did 80 years ago

In my opinion it should be „App Bibliothek“

I wouldn’t mind giving this ago, but I’m slightly concerned about someone earlier on saying their phone calls get disconnected. As it would have to be my, and I hate this saying with a passion, daily driver, as I use it for my business, I can’t risk phone calls.

Can anyone else chime in about how they’re finding phone calls, both making and receiving please?

My XR has had no issues in making or receiving calls.

Agree. Library is too far right now unless you streamline down to one page of apps and widgets and then the library.

Anyone knows where my Homescreen-bookmarks went after I disabled a page that went into the drawer?

Found out - lol - just enable the page where they are and delete them. So the all drawer is only putting apps in it.
