iOS 15 Beta 1 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[Feyl]

Settings have a new UI design, very neat.

It's just rounded now.. not a new design.

Tapping on “Learn more” in a message thread doesn’t do anything on my 11 Pro.

I successfully downloaded beta on iPad,but i can't install it on iPhone because of the issue "Unable to Install Update",do you know how to fix it?

 

[fncd]

Oh wow. They added pull down to refresh in Safari. Nice.

 

[Crownhorse]

They still didn’t fix the external monitor black sidebar resolution in IPadOS…

Is it only me who can't get the Universal Control to work?

Everything is great, the first beta works smoothly without bugs for me, the only thing that irritates me a bit is the new design of Safari. But I guess I'll get used to it in time.

Is anyone able to upgrade to iCloud+ who already has Apple One Premier with the 2tb option?

 

[aesc80]

You know, for a new Beta 1, it's not bad at all. I mean, it actually works. lol

This is pretty cool:

Ye, it would have been nice if there was actually something new. 🤡

i can't too

Installed it and to be honest doesn’t feel like any diffrent OS, I wish it felt fresh, I think iOS 14.5 was more exciting; I feeel let down by apple

The Clock widget is redesigned.

Try to reboot the device. When I did I could access its settings. (iCloud with 200Gb plan)

If there isn’t an option to remove home bar I’m honestly thinking of moving to android, I want interactive widgets, split screen and a new look homepage

Sad to see you leave!

Can confirm with Airpods Pro, Apple Music is outputting Spatial Audio, can be toggled on/off by playing a song, opening control centre, long press the audio and enable spatial stereo

Someone in one of the Apple Music threads said that on iOS 15, even things recorded in voice memos were having spatial audio.

I think iOS 15 will do a rudimentary Spatial Audio, but it's not 'True' Dolby Atmos until Apple flick the switch on the server.....

Dark Sky. Great for the USA, desaster for Europe. Even The Weather Channel is not usable in Germany. They should add more sources like DWD at least.

I'm in Europe and it's Brilliant! In the UK at least! 😁😁

So Spatial Audio isn’t working on Apple Music like we are expecting it to/what Apple told us it would do, at least on iOS 15 right now. It’s not playing in Dolby Atmos, but it is “Spatialize Stereo.” I played a movie in Dolby Atmos, and in the volume level page in Control Center, it says Multichannel, but when listening to something in Apple Music, it just says Stereo. I don’t think true Dolby Atmos Spatial Audio is out, yet.

As I say above, I think iOS 15, whether as a bug or not, can fake a spatial audio, but it's not true spatial audio unless the source is Dolby Atmos.

Anyone notice how you can pull down on lockscreen for Spotlight? Seems like something from earlier iOS versions

 

[Pearsey]

I’ve set it up with several sites and it works great. Just a quick FaceID activation and it pastes the code in automatically.

so what about existing sites using google Auth, does its transfer over or do you need to set it all up account per account?

 

[jahin17]

It’s quite annoying that places outside the USA are limited to some of the features Apple announced i.e. the ID thing in wallet. And it’s been YEARS since Apple announced Apple Pay Cash and being able to send it to people yet it still doesn’t work in England.

Oh wow. They added pull down to refresh in Safari. Nice.

yeah it’s all sounding and looking like chrome, what with the way it displays tabs now too

 

[Canyda]

Not a fan of the new Safari… but I’m talking strictly aesthetics here. Functionality is an improvement, as new iOS versions usually are (complainers and “the underwhelmed” be damned).

Having said that, I do agree with someone earlier than iOS is becoming a bit cluttered and less intuitive. I want more powerful features, but better tutorials and clearer methods for activating/deactivating certain features would do wonders for less technical users. I can see this becoming a problem for some of Apple’s user base who are more comfortable with Apple’s historically “super simple” and “it just works” philosophy.

I mean, I’m a developer and I’m not sure what the hell is going on with Notifications and Focus… 🤣

It's funny ... I said on a thread recently that my wife hates major iOS upgrades because as a non-techie she feels she has to learn how to do so many things over again, and I got the most thumbs-down votes of any post I've ever done on this forum.

So... thumbs up to this post.

About time 😆😂

 

[Ansath]

Shame they didn’t start fresh with iOS 15, basically iOS 14 with a new wallpaper

Those green tint hardware issue blues really make you a fun person.......

 

[macintoshmac]

New tab interface for Safari on iOS.
