As always, be sure to report any and all bugs to bugreport.apple.com (a developer account is not required to do this)

Previous threads:
beta 1 beta 2 beta 3

Build: 13A4305g

Issues:
  • Continuity does not work within the App Switcher, but does on the lock screen (Confirmed by Apple).
  • Start Station in Apple Music removed from songs and albums. Can now only be found on Artists that are already in "My Library". (Now a speaker icon instead of text from the (...) menu. May be transitioning this to other sections, but the beta was released before it was implemented on the sections it was removed from?
  • Closing spotlight will cause the full proactive menu to flicker in for a split second
  • Attempting to change any tone except phone call one will crash the Settings app
  • Some apps only support landscape mode will go to portrait mode with shrink view, and app will not work properly, when the phone is in portrait mode, whether rotation lock is on or off.
  • When listening to music, as long as a new mail coming in, music will lower its volume twice or more before notification sound starts playing.
  • When using Apple music and asking to play let's say "best songs of X year" the radio/playlist is started but stays stuck at the first song. (Repeat is not On and skipping doesnt work)
  • Adding a song to a playlist still doesnt work for me. (Apply to Apple Music. local playback is fine)
  • Safari interface will become completely black when using handoff, even without status bar. This happens once only, until now.
  • Phone app always opens on Keypad before quickly fading to last selected tab.

Changes:

  • Stuttering in the App Switcher is gone
  • News App doesn't crash on opening
  • Alignment issues with the top status bar have been fixed.
  • Battery icon in Settings has restored to normal.
  • The notification icon is now red.
  • Search has redesigned icons, as well as a continue button to dismiss the prompt.
  • Handoff is shown as a bar at the bottom of the multitasking center.
  • New option for News 93.2 in the settings > News section
  • Keychain auto fill option on iPad keyboards is back.
  • Misaligned search suggestion bar has been fixed (eg when using YouTube app)
  • Delayed status bar when going to home screen has been fixed.
  • Volume button takes photos again
  • Text in Weather app is no longer cropped
  • Icons in the share sheet are now not as spread out as before on iPhone 5 and 4S
  • Ability to access iCloud Notes without upgrading, essential for those with non 10.11 Macs
  • The video play button (as seen on embedded movies on websites) is now translucent instead of white
  • Mobile data usage for music downloads and streaming can be toggled separately now, rather than having to use one setting for all iTunes and App Store downloads
  • Apple Music now can be correctly capitalised when typing using integrated keyboard, in this beta.
  • Regained ability to change description and artwork for Playlists in Music.
  • Subject lines in Mail have been aggressively enlarged on iPad. (iPhone?)
  • EE UK Wi-fi calling works again.
  • In Apple Music, the ... (More Options) on tracks shows bigger album art with options to fave and share.

still no news app in the UK ?

Has anyone tried when in low power mode & then charge up that it turns itself off when @ a certain charge point?

So, I had proactive working and all was great. I messed up something and had to reset all settings. And now proactive is gone :(

Any advice on getting it back up and running again? Seems like it's a hit or miss for me. Not really dependent on it, though.

It turns off automatically at 80% with a message saying something like "Battery has reached sufficient charge", there's no longer an option to turn it back on from that popup box

Weather app's hourly forecast now has degree symbols in public beta 2. Not sure if it was same already in previous beta, but can't see those on 8.4.

Hmm...lots of people have had problems getting it working. Make sure "Siri Suggestions" is on and "Spotlight Suggestions" are on. It may suddenly appear, mine started working with Public Beta 2.

Same thing happened to me after Reset All Settings. Now all I'm seeing is the screen below....

I'm thinking it may just take a while for that to start showing up.

I saw that last night, and about an hour later proactive worked. Then I reset my settings and lost it. Maybe it'll return. I hope. It's nice to have.

Yep, if you see that then it's only a matter of time it will all show.

The more I think about it, the more that makes sense. The OS has to learn what apps/contacts i'm using for a while before it starts showing stuff on there automagically.
