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.

My original point was that it was available on their app outside of the US, which is factually correct, and that it won't start coming to other countries until 14.1 at the earliest. Between that and the comment in the above quote, it's obvious that Dark Sky are looking to expand to other countries (with Apple now owning them, that will have a positive impact on speeding that up), and that Apple will no doubt apply the integration into the native weather app, in later releases. Not sure why you seem so keen to dispute that.
 
Anyone else still having their „Frequency Visited Sites“ disappearing in Safari all the time? Has been happening to me since beta 1 like I am on MR a lot and often it only shows me the forum icon as frequently visited sites, other times just the homepage and most of the time none at all. Also my frequently visited news sites keep disappearing from frequently visited

And my original point was that the reason why minute by minute forecasts are/will be only available in the US (and probably later in UK and Ireland as well) is that the radar data for that type of forecast is unavailable for other places (talking about EU excluding UK and Ireland).
Maybe DarkSky being owned by Apple increases the chances of getting EU’s radar data commercially available for them but nobody knows. It’s not something that can be just integrated with iOS updates if the data to provide such forecasts is not available.
 
An annoying but non critical bug for me on 11PM is that on the sleep and wakeup screens the dismiss button is going off the bottom of the screen instead of lining up with the flashlight and camera buttons.
 
Do you have attention-aware turned on, or whatever the setting is called?
There are two. First is for unlocking and authentication. Second is Attention Aware Features which are the alarms and dimming etc...Turning the first off again fixed my FaceID issues. But still seems weird why would it always work on a retry. Is there some bug or feature that it doesn't check for attention on the second try?
 
I had deleted and reinstall news and it started working. But it has stopped again. I get all my links but the Today screen just spins.

I joined this thread just to to see if I was the only one having issues with News. Now I will roll back to 13.6.1. News app is a big deal for me.
 
I'm unable to join in the fun apparently. My iPad isn't taking the Public Beta 6 update. I've had all the Public Beta 14 builds to date. But this one? Not so much.

EDIT: I should note... iPad 6th Gen, 128GB, WiFi only model.

I have the proper Beta Software profile is installed. When I open up the software update section, I tap the "download and install" prompt, enter in my passcode, click agree on the Terms & Conditions, then click agree again... and then it just sits. The Terms & Condition window stays up. Can't click Disagree or Agree anymore.

I left it sitting for 3 hours. Still on that same screen. I force closed the Settings, opened it again, and went through it all again...and this time I let it sit for an hour.

Still nothing. I did a factory reset on the device, tried both from a back-up and as a fresh install.

Any further suggestions? I'm drawing a blank here on what to do.

Oh, and first post!

Not a joke - try to keep it into power source. Last time I had something similar was that battery level was low to proceed...
 
annoying new bug. My FaceID does not recognize my face randomly and I need to re-start my iPhone. Ironically it works when I am wearing my mask.
 
I wanted to give it a few days to make sure, but a few of my reported issues seem to have been resolved in this beta. I closed 5-6 radars last night lol..

1) Maps App: If you’re like me and you go into settings, i in the top right, and change the view from “Maps” to Satellite“ each time you use the app, rejoice? I keep reporting that as a new issue for each beta, and so far each time I’ve opened the app regardless of whether I’ve not had the app open for a day and have done a few reboots, it stays on Satellite view whenever I open it now.

2) Battery Life on both my iPhone 11 Por Max, iPad Pro 2018 11in, and S4 Apple Watch have been amazing. This is always going to be one of those YMMV things, but still. It’s been great for me.

3) I’m able to easily do all of my iMazing backups at home now across all of our iDevices. The last two betas have been iffy per backup, and now everything’s been working like it should. That was also partially due to an iMazing update that came out to address it... Not related to iOS specifically, but still something to cross off my list. I can’t be the only one to use iMazing, can I? :)

4) “Settings/General/Storage/Other” has been at zero on my iPad, but on my iPhone fluctuating way more than I‘ve seen before.. Going from like 36GB up to 48GB and then back down to 31GB, etc.. Not all sporadic and fast like, just every maybe 30-60 secs it changes.. Weird.. Something else I’m pretty sure won’t be an issue after I do a clean setup when iOS 14 is official.

5) The Music App is finally usable to me.. I’ve had some gripes about their new view where you have to press the little icon in the bottom of the player view in iOS 13 to get to what’s Up Next. And even then, scrolling thru that section wasn’t very intuitive. It’d be really easy to scroll past whatever was currently playing and get to a point in your list where you get lost.. I play a lot of music and it was always messy for me. So now on both my iPhone and iPad, when you scroll hard/fast to that currently playing track, it slows to a stop like closing a nice kitchen drawer without the slam.. Good stuff. Also a little haptic feedback. And also also adding the infinity style playing.. Not being worried about accidentally clearing my play history.. etc..


Anyway, all good stuff for me. Hopefully everyone else’s issues are addressed Soon, too...

Since downloading beta 6, my AirPods show this message when they connect...

Okay, yet another full blown factory rest set up as new device, and Beta 6 is finally installing.
 
ProMax db6
Phone

When answering a call, if I select speakerphone I get a dropdown of all my current active iDevices hooked in via wifi and I have to select my device from the list. If I have my AirPods in, they are included in the list.
Have not had this issue until 6 and it is a pain.

Better yet, anyway to not have this list?

Lemme know of rolling back fixes it please.

News works just fine on my iPhone 11 Pro with 13.6.1. My iPad Pro is where I had the beta installed and after updating to beta 6 it went sideways. It's about 50% done with the DFU restore now. I'll let you know when complete.
