At least it stays in its own post. Every once in a while I see a bug on there where someone's SS goes down through the next 2-3 posts
You are wrong. BEFORE you hit = you will only see one 0 no matter how many you enter. However, when you do hit = the calculation is correct.
Try it again and you'll see.
Not everyone has this bug as it also works as expected for me. Try rebooting your device.
Strange because I tried it on three devices and they all have this bug. All devices are rebooted. Well well ...
I just wanted to let the users, who hesitates to download and install iOS 14 Beta 7 to their iPhones, know.
I was hesitating too but i downloaded and installed it to my iPhone 11 yesterday; and trust me, it is working really really very fine and has no problem (until now - ~16 hours usage).
I was in doubt if it would damage to my iPhone and block me to use my device but nothing happened i mean it felt me like i downloaded iOS 14 Public Release.
So you can download and use it now and enjoy. You don’t have to wait for another week or more. Just download and install it.
By the way, i wish also express my thoughts about iOS 14:
* I really did not like Widgets as i think apps and widgets on a page seem like very congested all together. Just like people waiting in front of a check-in desk in a queue at an airport. But let the time fly (as you all know, Time Flies) and see if third party apps do something nice with it.
* App Library is not useful either (for me). I mean, i should have an option to be able to decide if i want to use it or not. But it seems Apple doesn’t let iPhone users to close it at all.
* Sleep in Health App. Why Apple obligates me to let them know when i go to my bed and wake up early morning? Do i have to set this? Really? No. I sometimes wake up at 6 and sometimes at 8. How will i know after 10 days what time will i wake up?
* GMail App in Privacy has now “Only Add Photo” option which was surprise for me when i saw it first and liked it. I hope, Apple will come to us with the same option for other apps too. This option means that you can allow one app only be able to add photo and not being able to access to your all album (i think).
* Game Center seems like improved but i don’t use it as i don’t play games on my iPhone, but i liked to see Apple doesn’t ignore this anymore.
* My iPhone, especially Safari, is faster now. It is really fast... Like a Porsche.
In iOS 13.7, a simple webpage was being loaded completely (with its all data) within 1 sec, but now i think it is less than 0.7 sec which is great.
* I didn’t have chance to see Siri improvements as i don’t use it. But i believe it has also been improved.
* iMessage in Message App, also improved. Group conversations, Pinning someone, new Memojis etc. are really nice.
I actually could write all my thoughts about iOS 14 B7 but the articles outlined above are enough for anyone who currently is using iOS 13 but wants to update her/his iPhone to the newer software however hesitates about it, i think.

If i face a problem, i will, thank you.Make sure you report your issue in the Feedback app.
I'm not sure how I can be wrong if I'm not experiencing what you are describing. I'm in no way saying that you aren't seeing what you are seeing, simply commenting to say that I'm not seeing that.
Just curious, but do you facing this issue with specific apps? On my SE, I only have Outlook and WhatsApp installed and notifications seems to work fine with these apps. I haven't tried the beta on my XS, I don't want to take the risk for my personal device (maybe when the GM comes out, I will try iOS 14).
Other than that:
- The storage bug is gone. This morning, I rebooted the device, and my free storage is back to 6,50 GB's and it hasn't moved since.
- Battery life is a little bit worse compared to 13.7, used to be expected since it's a beta. But I'm not saying it's bad. In fact, it's good. I unplugged it from the charger this morning (6:50 AM), it had 100%. I just came back from work (6:00 PM) and I have 76% left. Battery health is at 87% max capacity (never replaced before).
- Interacting with the widgets is a bit strange, but the widgets themselves seem to work fine. But I don't really care for the widgets, to be honest. But it's a nice feature.
- The notes app is stuttering from time to time while typing. Might be the battery what causes this, but I'm not seeing this behavior in WhatsApp. The device itself is acting very smooth for it's age.
So, I can say, it's pretty stable on my side.

I’m sorry. I meant that you tried to replicate the bug the wrong way. I thought you were looking at the end result in the calculation while I meant that the problem is when entering the lot of zeros. Sorry - all good.
Sounds like that was probably meant more for the iOS 14 beta 8 thread at https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/ios-14-beta-8-bug-fixes-changes-and-improvements.2253528/
It's confirmed. After you update to the next Beta, if you had hand off turned off, it turns back on again. After I updated to beta 8 I had to go back to settings and turn it off.
Strangely, after I updated my iPad to the latest official ios 13.7 that too had hand off turned back on again.
Odd, it didn't change for me when I updated to beta 8 (or 7), or 13.7 (on another iPhone).
