iOS 15 Beta 4 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[Shirasaki]

😂 people as about apps working all the time, but some people decided to pick on me and hammer me, for asking about that one! 🙄

You just got unlucky.
On a more serious note I’d never pick HSBC as my bank.

I don’t understand how HSBC app is such a recurring subject on almost any beta iOS threads I’ve seen so far. It’s insane

If only HSBC devs stop using random API or implement sneaky workarounds to make their apps work.

Word spacing issues in the photo app

Safari is really rapid for me. But I do have private relay off as I can’t be bothered with how temperamental it is on beta.

Word spacing issues in the photo app

Same issue on my iPad. However, I'm only seeing it when I'm in an actual album. If I'm in the Library tab...no issue.

This is true about other banks too. The apps I’m using for a couple of banks (here in Germany) also stopped working (crashing on being launched) when I installed the beta and nothing had changed until the last beta. I’ll have to wait for the public beta to check for possible changes this time, though I do not have any expectations. The apps for some other banks have been working without any issues.

Not for me

After updating, I was notified about the "Recognize My Voice" feature. It would appear to let me use the nearest HomePod, rather than just the default one. Is this new to this beta? Definitely a feature I have been waiting for.

Getting some stutter/lag in Safari when (somewhat quickly) changing scrolling direction.

There are additional filters for Apple Fitness+ workouts. Pretty sure this is new to beta 4.

 

[Pearsey]

Could be me but I feel folder animations have slowed. Could be the reindexing going on though.

EDIT: back to normal after a hard restart

missed call badge and stuck safari address bar been fixed? 🤔

I noticed weird scrolling issues in Safari when scrolling fast up and down on iPhone XR.

Searching within the Messages app still isn’t working for me. It worked immediately after updating and now appears to be broken again.

 

[SteamedHams]

Long-pressing Safari’s ”+” button doesn’t do anything anymore. A bug or a feature?

(Edit: It seems to work but not when you’re using a track pad. Filed a bug report.)

Not showing any missed call badges in this beta so far!

Hoping we get universal control

Nope

Sure wish they’d add the google calendar widget to the iPad. Works well on the iPhone. Seems locical move to me and would be super convenient for us google calendar users. With every update I hope it’s there, but nothing yet. Lots of other google widgets but no calendar for some reason.
my G-calendar appointments don’t always transfer very well to apples calendar. Another issue.

It's ok, I am moving away from them, just got a couple things stuck tied in with that account, for now. Starling is my new bank and their app is brill. Also their app works in the iOS betas haha.

 

[gwhizkids]

It won't work until official release and the app is compiled with xcode 13, a beta won't change that. Some banking apps detect a major iOS change and will refuse to run if it thinks its on unofficial software

And here we go again. Its Groundhog Day...

universal control won't be ready for iOS 15 it will come with 15.1 or something
