iOS 14 Beta 5 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[batmandan6]

Pokémon Go just got an update. Any change in iOS 14 compatibility?

Since Beta 4 every time I try to edit a memory in Photos on SE 2000 or IPP 2018 11 the app crashes (immediately after taping the edit button). Anyone else?

Ditto with the Mail app. It works great now.

Ditto with the Mail app. It works great now.

Glad it is working well for you. What kind of email account(s) do you have set up in the Mail app? Genuinely curious.

 

[Aceroller]

Happy for you that it has been working.
Unfortunately others are still having issues, including me. Sometimes I can open the mail app and will see "Checking for mail..." at the bottom for up to 30 seconds. I have one Exchange/O365 (work) account and one (personal) iCloud. The Exchange/O365 works flawlessly, the iCloud is the problem child. In fact, b4 was better, usually waited up to 19 seconds for the iCloud account to refresh. Now in b5 up to 30 seconds. Go figure.....
And yes, I have tried every other email client out there, but really like the simplicity of the native Mail app, and the built in "Favorites" feature (set up to only get notification sounds when I receive an email from my favorites).
Been happening since iOS13b1.........

Yeah, I only have exchange and it was taking like 10-15 seconds (or more) to show my new emails when I opened the app, now it is already there. They must have done something to address this with exchange accounts. Who knows.

Anyone else’s iPad keyboard doing this weird highlighting thing? (iPad Pro 11”)


EDIT - appears to only affect the QWERTY keyboard, and only when “Auto-Capitalization” is toggled

Decided I need some excitement in my life so I jumped on the beta train.

Very impressed so far. My 6S feels more fluid overall than 13.6.1, minus a few stutters here and there.

Widgets are super nice and make the Home Screen feel new again.

It could be too early to celebrate, but it seems that mail FINALLY no longer takes two minutes “checking for mail.”

Battery? Can’t comment yet, but doesn’t seem unusually bad so far.

Time will tell but this is shaping up to be a solid release.

I’m still debating on my ip11 but might jump on the beta tomorrow once I read more positive stories about it.

Beta 5 is killing me. Photos app is not responding what so ever. Apps freez and go blank. Share sheet basically won’t work. Hard resting my iPhone did not help.

Anyone else having issues?

Maybe try a factory reset or is that what you mean by hard reset? In my experience a hard reset doesn’t usually do a whole lot.

My news widget doesn’t update anymore, getting tired of looking at Steve Bannons face so gonna dump it.

Apple might have listened to my feedback... Since beta 1, the colors in the music app where way off for any subtle color. Pink always turned to red, yellow turns to burnt orange. It was the first thing I checked with every beta, and now it's been fixed. Not that it was a major bug, more of a design curiosity.

Def digging the more muted colors. Only was really obvious when the album cover was one color. Looks much better.

Likewise. I've had ZERO throughout the DP process.

I’ve had maybe two springboard reboots the entire time on iOS14. None on my iPad. Mail works great for me. I’m not having Safari pages reloading. Beta 4 was “bad” for me, but still better for me than iOS 13.whatever

Home screen widgets don’t appear to be particularly well optimized. Home screen has drained just as much battery as YouTube and Marco Polo since installing.

If you need to collect exchange mail with Mfa, I would humbly recommend that you move that account to the Microsoft outlook app.

Well, It seems to work even better with iOS 14 than iOS 13.xx if you just leave it to sync one month.
Maybe Apple finally fixed the mail problem with IOS 13.

Since restoring my phone yesterday, ‘featured photos’ has disappeared meaning that the photos widget shows the same memory photo.

anyone know how to get it back?

Double or triple tap on the back no longer work for me. Same in b4, it worked for a couple og days, then nothing. Same with b5, worked one the first day, now nothing. Sent feedback. Anyone else have the issue on b5?

Mine worked on PB4 but didn't work after installed PB5. Checked, and it was turned off in settings. Back on and it's working fine.

I’m using the Find My app with a triple tap and that’s still working fine for me on beta 5.

I performed another DFU restore of iOS 14 Beta 5. No 3rd party apps other than Gmail. Reboots continue, I get a full panic error logged each time the phone reboots. Reboot takes about 10 seconds to complete, the white apple logo appears and then in a few seconds the phone is back to normal and asks for password since it had rebooted.
I've filled out feedback via the app too. Started for me at beta 4, but frequency of reboots have increased with beta 5.
Hopefully next week's beta will resolve the issue.

Instead of waiting a week, I’d suggest restoring back down to iOS 13.6.1 and test that for a day. If you still have issues at that point at least you know it’s probably a hardware issue and to reach out to Apple for a replacement. If you’ve got no issues on iOS 13.6.1 after a day (or maybe 3 or 4 after testing your needed apps), add the beta profile and update OTA and go from there. It’ll either fix your issues or you know Apple’s gotta fix whatever iOS 14 bug it is you’re having. But at least you’ll know.

Nope, and won’t until Pokémon developer updates the app.
