I setup verification codes for Amazon in my iCloud Keychain but every time I try to use the codes they don’t work.

Anyone else setup codes and do they work?
 
Using the apple mail app, just found one of my emails in the junk folder when it’s not meant to be there. Hmmm 🤔
 
Battery life seems to be getting better, very impressive for such a early beta.

32% left, 7h45m usage. Off the charger at 4:16am this morning, currently 9:00pm here. 👌

If my memory serves me correctly, wasn’t the safari start up page when in dark mode black on iOS 14? 🤔

This hideous grey background looks revolting. 🤮

Features for me are not the issue - Apple does a good job on providing those and embedding the B/U options. What I have issues with is reliability. I can not count on Apple's Cloud services to be there when I need the 100% of the time. I would use them more if they did. I use them for my iPhone and iPad B/U but keep a main copy on my MBP. I use the iCloud, I just plan on it failing and keep an alternative option.

Lossless? I need a headphone jack for that which Apple pushed to have removed. :rolleyes:
Wish I could default Messages to another app like .. Signal. Or Telegram.
Facetime - too many Android friends, relatives, and peers. Zoom and Teams works great. Duo isn't bad either.

btw, there are a number of great B/U options on the Android side.

Both sides have options. Good options. just wish iCloud was more dependable.
doesn't sound like you have that good of an opinion of Apple services... maybe a different platform would be better?

Finally figured out what causes the text selection on forums to go mad in this beta, it’s having the text size increased above 100%.

Setting 125% and I can’t select more than one line of text in the reply box, sometimes it causes the entire page to scroll up when trying to select. Setting the size back to 100% and it works as it should.

I should’ve taken a screenshot before I put my phone on the charger but I get pretty decent battery life myself. My usage and stuff fluctuates because Monday through Friday I’m listening to podcasts all day at work, sometimes some music toward the end of the day. I had over 10 hours screen on time yesterday since I had taken a sick day from work.

I think I’d have even better battery life if I didn’t have such a bad connection all over work. I’m going to experiment and just download enough podcast episodes and music for the day and play from that instead of streaming. And maybe turn on Airplane mode.

True Tone playing up for anyone else? Seems to work when it feels like it. 🤔

Screen just dimmed slightly, phone became unresponsive, hard reboot fixed the issue, second lock up since installing the beta.

Well this is a wonderful new development.

Using wired CarPlay under normal circumstances (it was only in the low 70s F outside, Apple Music playing from downloaded music, and Apple Maps running), now causes the phone to overheat.

Something definitely going on, my screen slightly dimmed before, phone locked up, had to do a hard reboot to get it working again.

Hang in there, beta 3 incoming, 5 hours away. 😅

Didn't you jinx us yesterday?
If it doesn’t come, I am gonna just laugh 😂
I'm gonna cry. I know, I know, beta blah blah blah. I've been beta testing for years... I think iOS 10 was my first go. Never before has a beta straight up crippled any of my devices.

I’ve been getting this too (though somewhat hotter outside, but the ambient cabin temp should be in the manageable range. Phones running betas generate a lot of heat: logging, non-optimized processes, etc… I would think. I’m sure it will get better.
