I'm going to mention this here because (A) there is no equivalent WatchOS 7 thread and (B) this only happened when I updated to iOS 14 beta 6 (and I have not updated to beta 6 of WatchOS 7 yet): When I took my Watch off the charger this morning, I got a "Good morning" type screen on the watch face. It had the time, the temp and the battery level (in percentage, not a circle). Has this been displayed on the Watch before now and I just missed it? Or is it new and somehow related to iOS 14 (as I mentioned that I did not update the Watch yesterday, so the only variable is that I updated to 14b6.

I tried to do a screen grab but mistimed the clicking of the Digital Crown and button and ended up dismissing the page instead.

I do have b6 on my watch. I have not seen this screen. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I charge my watch in the evening and wear it at night.
 
I've had a couple of repeatable "back-outs" from apps....clicked on a report that was fixed in Instagram. Backed me out to the home screen. Just tried to type in "London" on Apple Maps and when I hit search, backed me out of the app.

Wasn't happening at all on other betas. Seems like a memory thingy...gonna try a hard restart.

I had it on its charger, so no. Picked it up and took a look and there it was. I’ll try to get a screenshot (competently this time!) if I see it again.

Do you have a S5 Apple Watch? I’ve got a S4. I’ve seen a few others post about that screen in the mornings, too, and it’s been drivin me nuts lol

S4. I may wear it tonight to see if I get it that way. Glad I have my sport band...the Milanese Loop is not a great sleep band!
 
News is back to not loading stories (spins indefinitely at the bottom). May be server side as it was working fine up until tonight. Anyone on iOS 13 having issues?

Anyone notice issues with not receiving notifications on their iPhone for text messages? Might be other notifications as well, but only noticed text so far. Not wearing my watch, nothing has changed but for the last couple hours people sending me any text won't wake the phone to show or play a sound. If I'm actively using the phone, then I'll get both.

Face ID detection setting , if it doesn’t detect you looking at the phone or something like it lowers and mute some notification.

I have same issue if you turn that off you get back, it it’s not consistent.

I could be wrong

I set up sleep and only used it the first night...but it is still set up and I get that screen as soon as I put my watch on in the morning and unlock it. I really like it! At least it and the wake up screen on the phone are finally consistently showing up.

I’m not sure if this is new, but when accidentally force quit apple music and reopen the app it remembers the song and minutes you were at. Nice touch!
 
Hey while I wait for the new PB to install I noticed this bug in B5 and was wondering if anyone else had it too and whether or not it’s fixed. It’ll show a notification bag when there isn’t actually anything in the folder with any notifications.

Not sure what version you are running on your Apple Watch.

I only have one Apple Watch which is an S5 so I wouldn’t install the Beta on that as I understand you have to send it back to Apple if something is seriously wrong.

I am running the latest watchOS 6.2.8 together with this Beta on my iPhone XR and it is syncing up just fine.

I had the same experience on B5 which was the first Beta I joined this year.

I am running the latest watchOS 7 beta. It did eventually start working again and rings in the Fitness app on iPhone are now properly filled to match the rings on the watch.

Other way around. It lowers the ringtone volume (and maybe notifications too) if it thinks you're looking at the phone. Easy test, wait for phone to ring then look at it before answering and notice the volume dropping.
 
Can anyone confirm if the problem of the washed out colours of default wallpapers was resolved in iOS 14 on iPhone XS?
I'm on 13.6.1.whatever and this is still a personal hell to me.

UK is still part of Europe, even after coming out of the EU. Also, my point stands, especially when Ireland has Dark Sky functioning fully

Their reply from yesterday:

Code: 
Radar coverage is available in the US, UK, and Ireland. Unfortunately, we do not have a timeline available for if and when radar will be available for other areas of the globe. Apologies for the inconvenience.
