iOS 14 Beta 6 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[tigertazz]

I know this is probably old news but I just discovered it...

Why has Apple limited widgets on iPad to the today view. There is so much more screen real estate than the phone, I just can't make sense of it. Any insight?

For an actual " Apple " answer it's worth listening to the waveform podcast with Craig Federighi. I enjoyed it

German weather got weather warnings now.

Not new in beta 6, I‘ve already had this in beta 5:

Oops

strange. Never seen it for Berlin before. Now I also see it for somewhat small towns. In fact it warns from „wind“ across Germany

Yeah, I’m still on beta 4 and have been seeing this regularly.

Preparing update has become much slower in iOS 14 than iOS 13. Don’t know what’s changed.

I would assume updates are more compressed than before, so that updates are smaller, so preparing the update takes longer.

Apple's site now shows Beta 6 release notes - updated the Wiki post to reflect this.

I hope this fixes the text message delay when you start typing in iMessage

Hope it fixes me having a badge but having to kill messages to get it to appear inside

 

[compwiz1202]

Is that a rumour or a fact? xD

Rumour if it doesn't come tomorrow; otherwise, a fact

Agree but seems like the download is much faster.

Me, too.

PS Grüße aus Berlin

Spatial audio doesn’t work me when turned on... guess Airpods still need an update

 

[compwiz1202]

OK before others ask:

1. Is the clock widget still way off?
2. Pokémon GO? Guessing no since rumour was dev isn't changing anything until live 14.

That's how 5 was for me too, even with the larger size.

Yes downloads are much faster.

Calendar widgets still remove events after 15 minutes have passed since the start-time, regardless of the end-time.

This *may* be by design but I still update my Feedback after each beta to complain about it. The fact they still don't pay much attention to Feedbacks means I've no idea whether this is a deliberate choice or a bug.

Qualcomm iPhone 8 modem firmware is now at 6.02.01. This is still lesser than 6.03.00 till beta 3, if I remember it right.

Subscriptions link now available under Account in App Store app. Correct me if I am wrong and it existed before beta 6.

Maybe it’s just me and I’m being optimistic, but for the first time in forever Homekit feels like the app is responsive and not a hot slow mess. I am hoping this is a sign of good things to come......

Edit: I mean from the perspective of changing rooms and moving around the app itself.

I’ll consider giving it a listen if it’s no more than a half hour. Thanks.

Animations seems to be shortened, so things feel a bit smoother and faster. Does anyone else see that?

 

[Ansath]

That’s consistently how it has been. The day after the developer beta the public beta comes out unless there is something wrong with the beta. Not a guarantee though because Apple doesn’t have a definitive schedule for the beta releases.

Usually, when it goes weekly, the PB comes out a few hours after the DB, rather than the day after, in the past, so it's a valdid question. We will see in the next 6-24 hours 😉

Does not work

- Redesigned time picker
- there’s a haptic feedback when editing an alarm

 

[gwhizkids]

Tomorrow.

Will you stop with the definite answers to things you don't know the answer to? Really, really obnoxious.

I can't seem to make the first home page a blank anymore.

Is anyone else having issues w/ the My Places in Maps syncing across devices both running the latest beta?
Newly created "Guides" seem to sync correctly but the "My Places" guide that cannot be delete doesn't seem to sync.
