iOS 9.0 Beta 1 Bug Fixes and Changes

[Shirasaki]

Is Persian language available in language and keyboard list or not?
thanks
It's the most important feature to me

Sorry, but it is not available, at least, now.

The only thing I see when I swipe right is a search bar and Siri Suggestions. What happened to "Nearby" and "News"?

The battery life usually takes a couple days to stabilize, especially when iOS 9 now has an expanded index to build for Siri/Spotlight. It takes several hours to finish the index from what I've seen.

Who says this? I wonder, please.
And, since I have updated notes to the latest version, I cannot revert back to iOS 8 again...or I will need to copy those notes to other places.

 

[Shirasaki]

Sorry to call you out on this, but this is pre-release software, a beta, and a beta 1 to top it all off. There is no way one can make this conclusion and be confident about it while saying it.

Now, if we come to September/October and the performance is still similarly lackluster...feel free to flame me back. But this is totally unwarranted IMHO.

Can I tell you iPhone 6 Plus is also laggy?
Of course this is just a beta software. If Apple choose to optimise software in this upgrade cycle, we may see incremental improvements in the future.
Crossing fingers.

Does Weather app in iPhone still drop frames?

 

[AZhappyjack]

I have this on my 4S too. That's wrong news.

If you just go to Settings > Passcode, then go to Change Passcode and then select Passcode options, you see this screen which included the 6-digit passcode.

And I have iOS 9 beta 1 installed on an iPhone 5.

When you tap on a new notification that comes in, when it takes you to the app in the top left corner where the signal dots usually are, it now says 'back to (whatever app you were in). Pretty cool!

Oh I know its prerelease. However the rumours were that Apple had already created an improved version of iOS for A5 devices, and it would thus start at a point where performance was at least as good as iOS 8.

Performance rarely improves that much by the end of the beta period.

Yes. This is the ability to go back to the immediate previous app you are using. It is really useful when you just want to check something on another app, and move back to the app you are still working on.

Really bad news.
I suggest anyone holding old A5 and A6 devices users do not expect significant performance optimisation from iOS 9. Beta 1 nearly destroys iPad mini. I am afraid it might destroy all non air iPad as well.

I thought that it was reasonably ok?

Traffic conditions appearing twice in widget section. If I try to enable either iPhone resprings.

iOS 9 runs reasonably well on my 16gb iPhone 5 (A6 processor). It's not as fast as my iPhone 6 Plus, but it's totally usable for testing the new iOS. I would have no issue using it as my driver while testing. Of course, I'd have my 6 Plus with me for the instances when beta 1 flakes out, as it will from time to time.

My iPhone has only one, but iPad mini has two. And then, everything is as what you say.

Top bar bug .. Frame missing in weather app

What are the "Content Blockers" for?

This is a new Safari extension points.
I have no clue about Safari extension points, but I hope that this will allow as an Ad-Block Extension for Safari

Currently this is still a beta, and of you remember, iOS 8.4 beta 2 music app is much more stable than in beta 1. So, let's wait two weeks and see what next beta would be.

For current beta, A5 has been destroyed. Ironically, my iPad mini battery is much much better than my iPhone 6 Plus, although iPad mini iOS 9 performance is much lower than iPhone 6 Plus.

I had this too. To fix it, I just asked Siri to show me photos from the weekend, and then after that, the search window contained all the info

Did you do a clean install?

It seems it's only popular where messaging is or has historically been expensive. It's pretty non-existent in Australia as well. There's no point in having a separate messaging app with iMessages and its fallback SMSs being free.

What.

I don't know where in Australia you live, but WhatsApp is the de facto messaging app on Android and practically everyone I know on iOS has it too because iMessage is Apple device only.

But iOS 9 beta 1 destroys my iPad mini perfectly. I cannot take it for even slightly heavy duty.
And current beta version drains battery crazily. I had never seen such quick battery drainage before I upgrade to this beta.

Wait... I think I got it wrong... What I think the article is saying is those iDevices who have touchID must have a 6 digit password, no less than 6 digits.

 

[Shirasaki]

Did you do a clean install?

I didn't. I don't have a developer account and I don't want to register udid. So I just update from iOS 8.4 beta 3 to iOS 9 beta 1.

 

[mitchsaunders]

Does everyones Apple Watches (still on 1.0.1) sync notifications with iPhone?
Phones on iOS 9 beta 1 & watch is on 1.0.1.

 

[dereknas]

I didn't. I don't have a developer account and I don't want to register udid. So I just update from iOS 8.4 beta 3 to iOS 9 beta 1.

So it is possible to directly upgrade from 8.4 beta 3 to 9.0 beta 1. I was searching high and low for this answer. Maybe can do a full wipe?

 

[J.gerbes]

hey are you guys Proactive Assistant working. when i wipe left all i see is a search bar nothing else. i dont see any recent contact or anything. is there a way to activate it?

It started showing up for me after half an hour or so. I didn't do anything. I imagine that it had to finish indexing first.
