Well when I‘m done using an app I usually launch multitasking to close out of it. Though I think I’m a bit OCD about not having too many apps open. 😂
Got a tip for us?

You’re not supposed to do that
. Generally speaking, it actually increases battery drain since you need to reload the app next time, and most apps aren’t doing anything in the background.except facebook, which i kill every time
Personally, I only leave ~4 apps or so open (just the most used ones).You’re not supposed to do that
except facebook, which i kill every time
All the rest I use maybe once in a blue moon and will likely get ejected from memory anyway. Might as well force close them so my Safari tabs refresh less often.
They don’t affect your safari tabs. Their state is written to non-volatile memory, not RAM.
Except they do. I’ve often encountered sites that would crash and closing background apps would allow them to complete loading.
Background apps state only gets written to flash when iOS actually ejects the app from RAM. Personally, I find iOS RAM management completely unpredictable and doesn’t quite jive with what apps I want retained.
Does anybody agree that Apple should release the feedback app on the App Store once the public release is out? It’s an easy way for everyone to report bugs and get our thoughts across to Apple. I feel with all of us on here, we have the power to help Apple improve their products even further and get them to listen.
Well, I think it needs to be improved quite a bit, made simpler, and it can be part of the OS itself. With all that ML smarts they are building in, it could automatically determine that something’s up if you reboot your phone in certain circumstances, it can pre-suggest categories based on what you were trying to do before you triggered it, etc. The category list is very incomplete, so it either needs to be cleaned up and better organized, or it should be dumped and automated analysis can categorize the report into a bucket if Apple prefers it that way.
Anyone else having an issue where iOS 14 is forgetting wifi passwords and is re asking to have wifi passwords re-entered?
I had that yesterday for the first time. Checking keychain on my Mac, the password was in my System keychain but had been deleted from my iCloud keychain. I don't think that was the only wifi password to get trashed either, looking at keychain mismatches.
I am not able to send text messages on iPhone 7. I am in India and using reliance jio as my carrier. Anybody else with a similar problem?
That's interesting. I've never had any problem at all and I appreciate that apps remain in memory enough that they load quickly again.
The only time I manually unload is with Facebook (why don't those people behave?) or if I'm going to run Geekbench.
The only times I have trouble with Web sites loading, it is usually related to the site's badly administered Google ad insertions. It's hard to keep up with these things, and if a site is trying to make money the easy way, these things are going to continue to happen.
Problem is iOS often ejects apps I want to remain in memory (age-based?) and keeps the ones I don’t. I really don’t care if an app I only use once a month or something reloads quickly. I do care that having those rarely used apps in memory will most likely cause my favorite apps to reload.
Also, having a ton of apps open in the switcher makes it more difficult to get to my most used apps. Wish there was a way to pin apps there.
More often than not, it’s Facebook that I’m force closing.
Usually happens on JavaScript, AJAX and/or GIF heavy sites.
Sites with infinite scroll are the worst. On those ones, I get a few extra pages/scrolls before the site crashes if I force close background apps.
Some good tips and tricks listed here for getting your feedback noticed and acted upon. This is some really good stuff and provides insight as to why "your" bug just never gets fixed in the period Sept-May each year.

How to Report Bugs to Apple So They Get Fixed - TidBITS
With another WWDC behind us, that means it's beta season, with new versions of macOS, iOS, watchOS, and tvOS for developers brave enough to test them. Former Apple engineer David Shayer explains what you need to do to increase the chances that Apple will fix the bugs you report.

Interesting. It suggests opening a new feedback after each beta if your problem isn't fixed. Previously, I've just been adding a comment stating that it's not yet fixed.Some good tips and tricks listed here for getting your feedback noticed and acted upon:

I think the author's philosophy is the squeaky wheel gets the grease!
New one (bug) for Messages.
In a Message thread and I select one item in the thread, long press to bring up menu, select More and the message is flagged.
If I have selected any item for input other than text prior to doing this, the trash can line at the bottom does not show.
Below are screenshots from 14 and 13.5:

Figuring out how to file appropriate radars in order to get apple to fix them is like kremilinology. Mostly speculation.
Best way is to get your IT team involved if possible - apple seems to take corporate bugs more seriously.
I'm having the exact same issue. I tried resetting all settings and it started working again for a little bit before it stopped working again.
Mine was at @50GB but then I saw an OLD YouTube article that suggested a few things that could help. I brought the "Keep iMessages" setting down from "forever" to 30 Days and it brought that storage down to 18GB.
Seems to be a "dumpster" that iOS throws anything in it isn't quite sure what to do with.
The first public beta is usually always a week after the second dev beta, so roughly 2 weeks from now.
Usually the 1st Public Beta for a new release would go off the 2nd Dev Beta, and usually later that day or the next day after Dev Beta 2 is released. I would assume Public Beta would be on July 7th after a Dev Beta 2 release probably that same day...
Buuuut, this is all for the speculation thread.
tl;dr Enjoy another week on your mostly bug free 1st Dev Beta and look forward to more good things. IMO

I've always wished they'd incorporate the entirety of the Feedback App into the official Apple Support app.

This is the plan I'm sticking to now, too. Although, in the past it seemed you could only add any on device log files like a sysdiagnose file when submitting feedback initially. Now it looks like that option is there all the time, even for old feedback I've filed pre-iOS 14. I'm sticking with the squeaky wheel theory lol

It’s always in the Utilities folder on macOS, and isn’t there a way to launch it from Safari on iOS?
