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

[eicca]

I can say the same as well, so I’m keeping my fingers crossed. My feedback on it says that it’s now working as intended.

I also got a response of a potential fix on the way for inaccurate badge counts.

Sigh... mine was great for two days and now it’s starting to act up again.

I’ve been having an issue with one group not staying pinned. Can’t explain it.

No issues here pinned groups or messages PB5 xs max, maybe a bug on certain phone models.

Negative. I am running Dev Preview 5 on my Xs Max. Reported it via Feedback.

Maybe a carrier issue then? Always find it strange how some people, same phone, same software, some encounter certain bugs while others don’t. 🤔

Highly unlikely that any two phones out in the wild are set up and used “exactly” the same or that they are being used in exactly the same manner when the issue arises.

Didn’t look at it that way, good point.

A reboot sorted this for me on my 11 Pro 👍🏼

Same here, thankfully!

IPP 11 b5
Mail - a reverse badge issue. Did not see this variation in b1-b4

Mail has a badge showing new unread emails
Open Mail - no unread emails
Manually refresh - still no unread emails
Close Mail - badge is gone

Used to manual refresh to get mail to appear. Now I manual refresh to make a badge disappear.

The issue I’m having is that if I start with no pinned messages, I can add 5 on my iPhone 11 Pro Max and they sync to my iPad Pro 2018. The 6th one doesn’t sync. BUT, if I add it manually on my iPad it disappears on my iPhone. So weird.

I just noticed if you sent a really long message, up to 8 lines are visible and an ">" to indicate there are more. If you tap that message, it will open a window to show the entire message. Not sure when this started

Luckily I am having zero problems on PB5. I am very impressed.

I noticed this tonight, as well.

It’s always done this for REALLY long messages, but now it seems to be doing it for messages that never would’ve been shortened in the past.

I don’t care for this new behavior.

Has anyone got the ‘arrive’ and ‘leave’ shortcut automation working? I’ve setup my current location which is my home to trigger the cellular and WiFi on and off accordingly but it doesn’t trigger at all.

Since yesterday, it’s asking me to enter my passcode instead of Face ID constantly despite using it in normal conditions at home.

Starting to notice worse battery life now compared to when when on iOS13

I’ve had an “Arrive” automation that I set up in iOS 13 that works fine under iOS 14.

Same here. I restarted the iPhone and as of now it always works with FaceID

Clock widget seems rock solid now. Precisely mirroring the clock app icon.

When using Gmail and Gmail only, I have an issue with the smart folio keyboard. When I type, the cursor randomly goes back on, messing up my words. It happens every few words and is so annoying that I have to use split screen and type in notes and copy/paste it into Gmail!

This has been happening to me in a number of apps (Apple Mail, Tapatalk, etc...) using the Magic Keyboard. Seems to be a beta issue. You should report as it seems to be happening to others as well.

Started with b5.
I get a long text news feed. Good and bad imo...

Hope beta 6 can somewhat improve the “deleting playlist” issue. Better than deleting everything synced but annoying is annoying. If this is how apple forces me to use Apple Music, I’ll use other media players instead.

Getting an infrequent issue in Messages on IPP11 only in landscape.
I will open Messages and the text entry box and all associated items is missing.
If I select another person to repsond to and back to my original selection, it reappears.

Is there a way to list all disabled apps which are only in the library? Because of a bug while switching the positions of widgets some app icons are suddenly disappearing and switching to other positions.
