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

[hNicolas]

Everything seems to be running very well for me so far. Keyboard doesn’t disappear, notification to allow widget location appeared and weather app working well. Can’t comment on AirPod problem but bank apps all work. Pretty smooth so far.👍🏻 iPhone XR.

View Full HDR for the Photos app is still a broken mess. This setting is found in the Settings > Photos and it’s supposed to show the full dynamic range of your Smart HDR photos but it blows out the highlights and over sharpens photos.

When is Apple finally going to fix this!?

Clock widget seems fixed 👍🏼

Nope, seconds hand is already behind for me. It’ll probably be the last thing they fix unfortunately.

Haptics work, and wow, even messages app long press shows my recent contacts! This never worked for me before.

Funny enough I was just on my Mac running Catalina and found this option wondering why we don’t have that on iOS. Hope it always works on iPhone

Apple introduces new widget size: XL

The first widget to come in new size is News.

Very interesting.

So the clock widget is slightly better than before, but still has issues. It was starting to lag before like it has been doing, but then after a few minutes it was current again. As if it had to refresh or something.

Calendar widget has gone from black background to grey

When editing an alarm, the alarm's time gets populated now, instead of the current system time!

First time I’ve noticed this “Not Charging“ indicator
2018 iPad Pro 11

I don’t like it. I have a pure black background and I liked how the widget looked before, just the date and event on the OLED screen. I get technically it’s visually more consistent now though.

Seems like a good compromise between the new keyboard input and people who miss the scrolling.

Minor bug on the XS Max, but when 3D touching app icons and links, there’s a delay in the haptic feedback.

Finally after an hour and a half I got it on. Glad to see the SE data recovery issue is gone as well as the phantom settings badge, but not happy to see Siri still unable to play my news and unable to find any of my half dozen or so news apps. Oh well at least some things got fixed.

Pokemon Go still broken sadly.

Niantic's issue. Will not be fixed until they allow it to run on iOS14 which will be after release alas.

 

[Mac Rules]

I notice there's an "Availability Alert" under the Exposure Notifications menu that alerts you to contract tracing apps being available in your current location, don't recall seeing this before?

Beta 5 has broken my streak of my 2020 SE entering recovery mode while updating! Hallelujah!

How about them misspelling "optimize"? That's sloppy.

 

[Sendmenudes02]

public beta today ?

 

[dannyyankou]

Don’t know if this is iOS 14 specific, but TestFlight has a new icon
