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

[magpie79]

Ok may be a silly question but the weather app / widget appears to look different to some of the YouTube video reviews. I’m in UK and don’t get the precipitation forecast which I assume is dark sky integration. Please don’t say this won’t ever come to UK as I use dark skies and would love it all on one app

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

US of A spelling

English spelling

That is how we spell it in the UK.

It’s spelt correctly; it appears that you are of the understanding that the American English spelling is somehow correct? 😉

It’s the British English spelling.

Someone’s gotta be right here.

I don't see the bug I have.

When asking Siri through my Airpods to call someone, there is no audio. Even if I take my Airpods out, there is no audio at all. I have to disconnect the call and call them back with out Airpods. Once connected, I can put my Airpods in and the audio is fine.

Anyone else having this issue?

Any update on this?

Receiving phone call with AirPods Pro connected is not possible. Specifically, receiver cant hear caller’s voice and vice versa.

I am experiencing both of these.

Already wrote this on another thread but maybe somebody here is happy about the info as well:

On the 2020 iPhone SE, Haptic Touch finally works on the lockscreen with Beta 5!

(For me personally one of the highlights of iOS 14, I really missed this feature.)

YES!!!!!!!!!!!! Was giving up hope on that ever working.

Not showing on my iPad with AirPodpro

So is this now active?
[automerge]1597788131[/automerge]

It’s buried in the build. Not public facing

Ah, so ready to go but not yet functioning?

 

[Freakonomics101]

Not yet...

Mine said public beta 5.

 

[boxermansr]

Is wireless charging working properly in this build that anyone can please test?

Still seems finicky on my Zens charger, I only had to try and place it twice, unlike other times where it's taken several more attempts, and it charged, but it rebooted itself after being on it for about 5 minutes today. I haven't tried it on either of my other two as of yet however.

Thank you for your input. If you do try your other chargers at a later time, please do provide your findings!

Will do.

Those that have the DEXCOM app and the transmitter disconnects and won’t reconnect: not one but two hard resets did the trick. Waited an hour after the first one.

 

[AZhappyjack]

What does the yellow dot next to that WinOne app mean?

It's a TestFlight version of the app.

 

[petitpiton]

That is how we spell it in the UK.

No it’s not. ‘z’ is the American spelling. In British English we use the “s”.

 

[NBKindaGirl]

No it’s not. ‘z’ is the American spelling. In British English we use the “s”.

The screenshot they’re replying to is using the UK spelling. That’s what they mean.

Really pleased that the NFC automations bug is now fixed. Hitting a tag now runs my automations perfectly. It had previously worked once, then failed to work again without a restart. And adding a second NFC automation broke both of them. B4 allowed one to work perfectly but still couldn’t add a second.

B5 has fixed it all. First post updated.

 

[gwang73]

No it’s not. ‘z’ is the American spelling. In British English we use the “s”.

This is correct. UK, New Zealand, Australia and current/former British colonies use 's'. American English uses 'z'.
I can't believe how many threads there is on this topic.

if pokemon go worked i would jump to ios 14....

It’s frustrating they ca’t just push a minor update to allow it. They’re gonna need to at some point anyway.

Niantic are crap to support iOS updates normally. No way will they do anything for the people in Beta.

It does not seem to be flushed out yet. So much wasted space on my XS Max and it literally adds nothing. It’s the same content on both for me 🤷🏽‍♂️

fine on mine....

Bug or a slight change?

View attachment 945287

Bug. I don’t have it on mine

The weather widget seems to be showing slightly richer information in b5.
Notably, the chance of rain tomorrow.

Saw that in B4 over the last week

is a public beta??

Later. Maybe tomorrow

Not showing on my iPad with AirPodpro

spatial audio will require a firmware update

Is this new? View attachment 945329

I saw that in iOS 13

Yes, it’s the Dark Sky integration. It’sUS only at launch of iOS 14. s in K will get it later.

Someone’s gotta be right here.

Optimise = British English spelling
Optimie = US spelling.

Mine said public beta 5.

Some people on the Dev Beta were getting it mislabelled as public Beta, since DB1. Seems you’re one of those

 

[petitpiton]

The screenshot they’re replying to is using the UK spelling. That’s what they mean.

Ah, yes. Thanks for explaining. The spelling in the screenshot is the correct one (for British English). That’ll teach me for replying to a post this late at night!

 

[fer_schez]

So my shortcuts will never sync between my ⌚ and my 📱 🤦🏾‍♂️

 

[sterumbelow]

I’ve had a friend test it on B4 but I wasn’t aware it was there, so...

The reply feature in Messages. You can double tap the message and hit reply, which is much quicker than holding your finger down and waiting for the popup.

 

[dk001]

Installed on my IPP 11 and Pro Max.

First impression:
Bit faster animations on both devices
The vanishing keyboard via share is fixed
The Magic Keyboard for my IPP - using the space bar to FaceID unlock is failing. Reported
Mail still has badge aqccuracy issues. Reported
For the same charging cable, charging via MK or directly into IPP there is a noticiable rate difference - MK much slower
Using AirPods Pro on my Pro Max they cut out mid call. Switching to Speakerphone and back fixed. Reported.

More to come...

Have beta 5 on my iPhone 11 Pro and my 2018 iPad Pro. I feel like on both devices I am getting prompted more for my pin code vs it accepting Face ID.

 

[s2mike]

Anyone having trouble sending photos using the Photos app in the Messages app drawer?

I can copy/paste a photo from the Photos app and then send it fine in Messages...but when I use the Photos app in the Messages app drawer, they don’t seem to send.

I'm not having any issues with FaceID on the 11Pro or Gen1 iPad Pro. I always hard-reboot my phone when it settles down after an update. Or, try resetting and adding FaceID again.

Just sent one from the photo drawer in the iMessages app and no problems here.
