iOS 15 Beta 7 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[gwhizkids]

They betas we get are usually 4-6 weeks old. Meaning this beta 7 was finished 4-6 weeks ago. That’s how software development is done. We don’t get the latest and greatest.

I don't think that's accurate. I think the builds are more like 10-14 days old generally.

I know my phone is indexing but it’s so hot I can’t even touch it and the screen is going dim to cool it down. Wow first time my phone has been this warm after an update

Force restart. Happened to me with beta 6.

every feature isn’t ready, at this rate focus is the only new feature lol what exactly is the point of iOS 15 apple need to hire a new iOS team, this isn’t the apple they used to be, safari is a joke now, it takes up so much space that isn’t needed, at this rate Android looks miles better and that’s coming from someone that loves apple, this is a sad year

It seems to fix some apps crashing upon launch like Twitter

Edit: had one crash but less frequently

Yeah...that's absolutely untrue. There would be no point in running a beta program if you were seeding out 1-2 month old builds, the feedback wouldn't be useful anymore.

Hell, if you look at the kernel build date it's from August 17th, and that tends to lag a week or so behind the actual OS build.

This build was likely built this week.

is it just me or are the animations (ex. opening/closing apps) noticeably slower?

Bitwarden is functional again.

Twiiter just crashed on opening for me...it does work sometimes, but still not "fixed" for me since it still doesn't open properly every time.

Anyone see this on 12 PM? When trying to forward a message, the More submenu isn’t tappable.

Works fine for me.

It crashes when it finishes updating. Twitter hasn't crash since restarting the device after update. You should try restarting it and test it again.

Maybe it’s my pandemic-eating fat fingers

I always do a hard restart right after updating...but, will try again...

EDIT: Seems to be fine now....maybe it's the first time using it whether you hard restart or not?

It seems to depend on how long its been closed, so I suspect its some kind of caching error.

Is that Mr. Gimper's cat?

Uh oh...I better add some substance or this post will be CatDeleted.

Its zippier and has battery life! [There...safe!]

Got a late start downloading but it took a lot longer to download and prepare. The install itself went fairly quickly though.

Yeah I didn’t have ANY of these issues with Twitter until sometime during B6 and now I had a crash in B7. Will try a hard restart too.

I've tried it a few times over the past 1/2 hour and it does seem to be working fine now.

Just finished the install and Twitter opened immediately for me. First time in quite some time.

Can’t help but feel many average users will hate the new Safari mainly bc of the learning curve. I already expect my older family members to give me call when 15 is released lol

And although I prefer Beta 5’s look, I guess Beta 6/7 is *more* functional (obviously in lieu of the original top toolbar).

Looks like 1 more beta before GM

At least.

Where are the HSBC dudes when we need their feedback?

I've stopped, as I was fed up of being abused.

You're incorrect @Arni99 . Never that old. Usually a week to 10 days between the build creation and when we get it. First beta is the exception and is more like 14 days.

What changed? I don't see any difference from Beta 6.

Exactly that. Quite a few of us were hoping for it to go back to B5 style.

There's no real learning curve. It's the same as usual, just on the bottom.

Hearing a lot about NordVPN here. Any different features compared to the other VPNs?

I just went with NordVPN from the start because some friends said it was quite nice. Very satisfied with it so far.
