So I gather that other than being shiny and new, there's no reason to upgrade from 8.4 on iPhone 6?
Not sure if this is an issue that's already spotted (it's not on page 1 of this thread anyway).
If you get a notification on the lock screen, swipe from right to left and tap the x to hide the notification then the notification transitions upwards. At the point the transition ends, I have a white horizontal line that appears. Even if the device goes to sleep, the line is still there when I awaken it. It goes when I unlock the device.

Anyone else worried the Keyboard Gestures on iPhone were removed purposely? Seems odd all the iPhone gestures are not there but the iPad still works fine. Sad because that was my favorite feature too.
Totally normal.
Been that way with every round of iOS betas so far.
Betas are not meant to be progressive improvements. They're meant for testing and sometimes certain sub-systems or APIs move forward while others remain unchanged or even move backward.
My iPad crashes when I get an iMessage to the lock-screen and do not respond immediately.
Going back to 8.4...
I am. That was such a sweet feature and I really hope it actually makes it to the GM. Odd that some stuff removed from iPhones are there on iPad though.
Nope, you're wrong.
You're describing how you think beta testing should work.
We are telling you how beta testing does work.
If you don't like it then you know the solution.
I went ahead and submitted a bug report. Hopefully they'll say whether or not it was meant as an iPad only feature. I sure hope they say it's just a bug.
Did you do an OTA update? And those widgets were previously already there?
I still have widgets I previously had, but when I install new apps to be used as widgets... It doesn't show the "new widgets" below in the Today's tab. I have an iPad that's on iOS 9, I wonder if that's the problem..
It was OTA from a fresh install of B2 right before the OTA came out. I hadn't installed any apps or such at that point.
Is this new? I dont remember Handoff using my own iTunes from my Mac.
Idk what the icon does, when i swipe it up it only uses Apple Music so i dont see any sense behind it.

Each beta has different areas of focus. Sometimes they get better, sometimes they get worse. What Apple is working on internally can be different than what we are given in the beta versions. That's why you'll see some builds with broken features, while others are fixed. When iOS 9 will be ready for Public Beta release we should see some significant improvement, but even then, it's still a BETA. Shift your expectations accordingly.
You know what I wish they would bring back and I don't understand why they ever got rid of it? When you are watching a video the little bar with the scrubber used to show the progress of the buffering going on so you could see in real time how much of the video was loaded. I haven't seen it since iOS 7 I think. Now it's just solid all the way across when watching videos (through safari) and you don't know how much is actually loaded!
If you hit cancel when that screen pops up (then try to download again) and it will work without you having to type in the info again. Did it for me as I was downloading some apps yesterday and the cancel trick worked really well.
Ohh boy. Apparently public beta *might* hit tomorrow so if I can get my hands on that, I'm a little anxious to see what I'm getting myself into. I was sort of hoping by beta 3 things would be better, but these comments suggest otherwise. How does Apple make a new release with "Foundation" and "Performance" in mind, but everything is still broken this late into things? Usually things are smoothing out quite a lot by now, not staying the same or going downhill...
Maybe it's because they had to work hard to incorporate News and Apple Music? So after this to the end, the real bug-squashing, performance-enhancing, stability-improving magic will happen
They're already been doing bug-squashing, performance-enhancing, etc changes. We just don't always see all of those in the betas released to us.
It IS a beta version. It says so in the splash screen when you open the app for the first time.
