iOS 15.5 Beta 3 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[sorgo †]

Who knew my iPad (9th generation) could ever be more functional than a 12.9 inch M1 iPad Pro! Thank you, beta 3.

I’d roll back but I have a ton of video on device that I’d have to reimport so I’ll live with it for now.

Just did a fresh backup up to an external mSD.
Just in case.

Side note - backup to an external mSD is so much faster on the iPad vs iPhone.

It did that for me last week, but was transit directions and, maybe I selected it by accident, but “avoid toll roads” was also selected for some reason.

Fixed all in Maps settings and did a hard restart….been working fine since.

Thanks. Tried changing setting and restarting, still no luck.

iPhone X modem firmware updated in this build. No change to UK Three carrier, still on v50.0

Modem update is Intel iPhone 8/8 Plus/X: 5.03.01, up from 5.03.00

iPhone 13 Pro Max / AW7 GPS
Phone

My Android is my main and didn't really notice this till the past couple of days.
My AW is no longer ringing / haptic for phone calls on the iphone. I get a lot via Teams (which is not on the watch). I have AW set (checked that) to mirror my iPhone but only use haptics.

Not working. I can see the call on the watch but that's it.

Whatever the reasons everyone experiencing is hopefully reporting it. So far, my report says zero other reports (which is obviously incorrect, given the numbers reporting issues here).

I see that, If we don‘t add our feedback nothing will be done to fix this. That said! I wanted to also ask if anyone is experiencing some sort of freezing when waking up your device. I have been able to product it when I am not on wifi and or low speed internet. The fix so far is to hard restart your device. Which for me is iPad Pro 4th gen 12.9” (MY3J2LL/A).

Mine is the same iPad as yours, but honestly, I have not had an issue with mine since I returned home from a work trip at the end of last week.

Not sure if it is the way I'm using it or if it is because of my high speed wifi at home?

Any more of you with the Apple Pencil / Magic Keyboard issue? I reported via the Feedback app yesterday. On checking it just now, says that there are zero other reports ?. (I know it usually takes a few days for them to collate and update the count).

I am as well. It’s also only showing battery on my pencil at 96%, won’t go higher.

iPad Pro 12.9” (MY3J2LL/A) I was experiencing the same issue. Apple pencil would be recognized but never connected. After I read this I took my ipad off the magic keyboard and sure and enough it pair right up. I wonder if this is only affecting this particular model?

Exact same issue. 5th gen 12.9 with Magic Keyboard (1st gen).

Battery, somethings chewing away in this build. Normally flat during when I sleep. Tried all the steps, nothing obvious in battery usage. B2 was solid for my 12.

Went back into 15.4.1 for my genius appointment, and look at the battery difference… no drop off.

B3 has something going on. Hopefully gets a fix today.

you could have reinstalled beta 2 if it worked better for you, it is still signing as I saw yesterday.

Had to go back to official build as it was going in for a genius app to get the battery replaced. ?

Just incase you didn’t know, Apple won’t touch your phone on beta builds. So the old “check for update” button + alt and the 15.4.1 IPSW file downgrade came in super handy here. 10mins to complete from finder.

HomeKit is even more delayed and unreliable than it’s ever been in this latest round of updates (specifically SOMA smart blinds and Philips hue lights). I don’t think Apple will ever sort it to be as reliable as it was under the 14 wave.

If not I'll be rolling back to 15.4.1

Ahh, if you need to go through the technical service, you do need to be in the latest stable. Although there are times that, at least due to battery change, I know people who took the cell phone with the betas and did not look at it, and after the change they always restore it. But yes, to be sure, it is normal to take it with the last stable one.

You’ve lost me here. I know why I needed to go back onto an official build. Not sure why your explaining it to me ?!? But doesn’t matter ??
