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

[mujtaba.mir]

Looks like the iPad finally gets the low power mode. Prepare for new iPhone is probably the way to get the temporary iCloud storage from Apple for 3 weeks.

Another good thing, when you drop an app onto another to create a folder, it does not open the folder anymore. This is nice, finally!

 

[mujtaba.mir]

There is also a new time picker UI.

Do you have Monzo too?

Monzo seems to be fine. First direct isn’t (if anyone is curious)

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.

Exactly. Can't wait to never get any of the weather features in Europe.

Splash screen for mail privacy protection.

The download is so slow

I have never felt older (32) than during this keynote because I cannot relate to those app improvements at all. Like why would I ever listen to music with someone over facetime together? That’s just weird to me. Generally I am not much of the „sharing“ type unless it is news articles #old

I can imagine some pro level listening or watch parties may happen...who knows, but not for me either...

Precisely this, maybe it's a 32 years of age thing?. All the sharing stuff is useless to me. That's not to say others won't enjoy it though! I'm just unlikely to use them myself.

Can you share from the Mail app to 3rd party app? Also anything new in the reminders app?

If First Direct is iffy, then HSBC will be too. 🙄 No B1 on my iPhone then!

If you’re complaining - it’s a literal improvement over iOS 14. No matter your disappointment, it’s still a newer and hopefully better firmware come Fall 2021. If you want to go to Android so badly, goooooo.

Most of these new features or almost all of them won’t be useful for me. Apple really disappointed this year. I was looking forward to this release and first time that I will skip over the beta

 

[Knowlege Bomb]

And all of that sharing stuff is still useless if even one member of your group refuses to use an iPhone. I was really hoping for cross-platform support for iMessage like they did with FaceTime. Possible future addition I guess.

Love the new mail widget, so far it is refreshing pretty well

 

[Dieseldk]

iPadOS can’t remove widgets from iPadOS 14 in the old sidebar, only add new and remove the new ones

 

[srbNYC]

Do you folks agree that we're unlikely to find much 3rd-party conflicts or fails because the iOS isn't that different?

 

[Aliknos]

Can someone confirm whether Zoom, WebEx and Skype work normally on the new OS?

 

[Archer1778]

Also being able to setup a wallpaper on the safari splash page is pretty cool too

 

[Rivanov]

Remove from Homescreen is bugged. Removed apps will reappear after a while.

 

[Freakonomics101]

So the fonts feature… it still exists but it’s not even useful. Is that just a failed experiment?

 

[Zcott]

Can iPadOS run the widgets in portrait orientation yet?

 

[DoctorWho36]

I bet I am the first person to have to do a system restore. Installed it on my iPad Pro 2021 11" and it didn't even get past the hello page before it begin showing my a spinning ring with the screen constantly flashing. My theory is that something broke due to it being hooked up via thunderbolt to an external monitor. Nothing seemed to fix it.

Correct, HSBC fails to open on iPadOS at least

 

[MacDevil7334]

Settings have a new UI design, very neat.

What was old is new again!
