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

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.

That's for Google to do, not Apple.

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

Will be lucky if they don’t delay until next Spring, as they do with some of the features every year…

There's time yet for it to come.

Was hoping for drivers license in Wallet app.. maybe a 15.1 update but I’m sure California won’t participate

The should be called the "Mortification Relief Setting". Nothing like getting that really inconvenient notification when displaying to a room full of people!

Is the left corner gesture new?

Nope! Been there since iOS 14

Safari this was well needed!

I suspect most states won't participate. Though I hope Apple has done some due dlligence and work with states here to prove me wrong.

The reload button was sorely missed. I wonder how they couldn’t have done this from the get go, and needed this long to get it right (as it is now). Even works minimized.

I’d like to see the lock work that way, too. Tap the lock and see details, like we do on macOS. That would be great.

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

LOL. So if you have 2 Macs, you can use it. Well, this is a DEVELOPER beta, so that's a possibility for some.

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.

I got 3 notices of this (just to make sure I got the message, I guess). Not sure if the feature itself is new to this beta.

All the long-press actions in Safari seem to be broken when using Magic Keyboard’s trackpad (address bar, links on web pages, etc.).

why do you need a reload button when you can just swipe down

Not sure if sarcasm… but to keep the current scroll position.

One would think apple did their homework on this feature..as everyone knows California is a different state than most others .. with Apple in California I would hope they got a buy in from the state. Fingers crossed

so you don't have to go to the top of the page every time you want to reload. 👆📱

Swipe down did not work consistently for me especially when I trying to purchase something on a drop

Colors in the Weather app appear richer.

did they fix the spotlight search?

Yes

It was mentioned in the keynote that they were starting with the TSA. Seems like a smart move, once the TSA is onboard it should be easier to get the states to join in. That said, I would be surprised to see this roll out prior to springtime.

Not every website supports tapping the top of the screen to scroll to the top. It's nice to have the pull down to reload, but in practice it makes things harder on a lot of pages. I also missed tapping and holding reload to turn off content blockers. Glad to have it back.

looks like moments are shareable now

On topic, I got a notification on my watch as soon as the phone had finished rebooting that the Home app can now recognize your voice. Couldn't catch the screenshot, unfortunately.

I got a screenshot of it if anyone’s interested

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.

This is still working fine for me on 12PM

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

Working for me…for now. But these links and photos sections look new to me for some reason.

because your not always at the top of the page. Like using this forum. 🙄
