iOS 15 Beta 6 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[nortonandreev]

1) Now Reachability works when the tab bar is expanded as well (before it worked only when it was collapsed)

2) The load bar is now edge to edge (when using the tab bar option)

Does it take up more screen space or is it just an illusion because the floating bar had no panel filling the space it occupied? I barely used the old bar because I couldn't really get used to it the few times I tried. The B6 one instantly clicked with me.

I don't have screenshots to compare the before and after but feels like it does take up slightly more space on the bottom when collapsed.

For when the bar is shown, it could be an illusion because of the floating design but I considered that gap dead space anyway.

Content Blocker has been renamed (moved?) to extensions (at least in German) under Safari and it actually shows the blockers again (didn’t do it on the previous beta).

There is also a link to open the App Store to get additional extensions

Can someone please tell me how to see tabs in landscape mode (iPhone)in safari. I thought they automatically showed when you held your phone in landscape. Not working for me now. Thank you

I believe it’s different from beta 5

I have beta 5 and beta 6 right next to each other but can't tell a difference in color.

This is what I’m getting.

Wouldn't it look better with the icons aligned with the address box?

Ok thank you. I closed and opened safari a couple times and it started working. Took more than once for it to kick in. 👍

Looks good to me, an exact replica of the one used in iOS 14, just at the bottom. I guess it still shrinks down when we browse?

Yes it does . Looks like mirrored top bar when it’s expanded. Ugly.

Kinda feels like I’m using a Pixel🤦🏻‍♂️

Maybe the change went into affect in beta 5, but it’s definitely different from earlier betas.

Before and after-

Can't recall offering so many GUI design-elements as options before.

iOS7?

It’s unnecessary huge. I liked previous version only if it would be adress bar static so I don’t have to fight with it if I want to click on something what is in address bar path.

No public beta yet? In 50 minutes maybe ?

 

[Ossyref]

It is so ugly now.

Totally agree. The way it looked in previous betas was much better

Scrolling sensitivity I think they've pissed around with this again. its on steroids even with a slow thumb scroll. struggling to focus on text/content. As soon as it moves its like its bluring/jarring.

Go to settings, look at one one word and start scrolling slowly... its like the text is vibrating.

Might have tiered screen eyes. but it doesn't feel as smooth as B5 to me.

My 12 PM isn't doing that. That's odd.

They added more colors and shades to the radar in the weather app to make it easier to differentiate heavy and light precipitation.

Better but the precip “edges” are still too fuzzy.

Hope the .05 was worth it 😂

You look like this other 🍐 that contributes. Anyway, if it stops the drop from 5G to LTE just because I walked outside then it’s worth it!

Okay, the new tab bar view is growing on me.

Messages app notifications are still using the contact’s nickname by default, despite having “Prefer Nicknames” turned off.

Very annoying bug.

I prefer the floating bottom bar from Beta 5, and not liking the changes to Beta 6. as it gave so much of the web page to the whole screen.

Only thing I like about the change to Beta 6 is the option for people that like the top bar.

So, not an apologist here.

Indeed, you're not an apologist if you accept that other people have legitimate criticisms of the design. I too prefer the floating bar (if I were to go with the "bar design" over the old design). You're only an apologist if you deny the problems others are reporting and justify bad design by making excuses for obvious problems.

Same person, he's changed his username. ☺️

You don’t have much luck with the messaging app hey Mike. 😬

At this point it seems like no further change to Safari will make everyone happy, at least there’s options now. Maybe they’ll bring the floating bar of death back as an option next beta if it makes some happy.
