Ugh, I was really hoping they'd reverse the decision to put the URL bar on the bottom on iPhones, like they reversed the idiotic tab changes in MacOS.

I guess we're going to be stuck with it.

Did they reverse the changes in macOS? I thought they gave users the choice between the new and old views.

Apple Music “Listen Now” section still causing Music app to force close

I am not an HSBC user but we gave you a rough time with the last beta. So I have downloaded the HSBC UK app to my beta phone. I will let you know if it’s any better once my phone has restarted.

you won’t get past the holding page then if you don’t have an HSBC account to register. Not sure how this will help buddy.

Can‘t reproduce, works on B4 here.

Hoping we get universal control

According to release notes, we do on Monterey. Nothing mentioned in iOS/ iPadOS release notes, that I could find.

If the app stays open, that is enough help, considering that the app is crashing the moment it is opened.

I saw that, I can’t find any references to universal control on my 2019 MBP

Nice new addition to weather app. The maps are getting much better now especially when switching to precipitation. It defaults to next hour and zooms out. If you zoom out further it will go to a 12 hour forecast which makes much more sense than a daily radar.

did they fix the spotlight search?

On my 12 Pro Max, it is fixed. At least for now.

Apparently spotlight search is fixed, saw someone say it in another thread.

Still not working for me. Worked right after update but now its not working at all.

Odd. I suppose you would have restarted, cleared SMC, NVRAM, the usual?

It’s been happening since beta two for me. The other tabs work.

not working for me. worked after update but after 30 mins back to not working

Wrong. Please see post 17. Again, thanks for not reading my full post, requesting people don’t bother derailing the thread by saying what you just said.

How many times do I have to say that I’ve personally experienced in the past that it’s worked after a beta update?

I can also relate! Not with HSBC but with other apps in previous years. It didn’t work one beta but did the next

 

[Pearsey]

By the Powers of Grey Skull that was a fast download.

This is New in beta 4:

When network settings are reset, or, when a new device is set up, the device name will be the exact device name instead of the generic iPhone, under Settings > General > About.

My No. 1 problem with iOS 15 betas is the borked face ID algorithm. In iOS 14, it instantly used to show passcode screen if it detected a mask on face. But on iOS 15 betas, it takes forever and tests your patience. Someone tell Apple that Covid ain’t over yet.

 

[SteamedHams]

Finally iPadOS Safari has this!

 

[macintoshmac]

Also, it seems that no other apps are crashing in this beta.

I did not, but Apple removed mention of Universal Control from the release notes

MagSafe battery now fully compatible with Beta 4

I’m getting full compatibility except the animation.

Safari bar has changed. Share sheet now and reload icon next to url for speedy reloading. Like it!

FIXED: bar UI drop shadow.

IP 12 firmware change. .07 to .08
