Anybody having issue with password restriction for free app without password? Ever since I update to betas I no longer have password settings under restriction.

This is what I am missing, and everytime I purchase something free on the app store it still asks me for the touch ID/password.

Go to
Settings - touch id and code

Disable touch id for iTunes and app store


Now go to
settings - iTunes and app store
Now you can see the password settings .

After setting up just re-enable Touch id for iTunes and app store
 
i don't apologize for beta softwares,but we are sure 9.2 b3 is much smoother than 9.1 release

9.1 on my iPhone 6 doesn't really seem much different than 9.2b3 running on my air 2 as far as smoothness goes. I have both devices sitting here in front of me as I type this. The usual improvements gained with the 2 gig of RAM in the air 2 are just as noticeable as they were when I had both devices running any version of iOS 8

I'm sure that 9.2 b3 is much better on both my devices here, iPhone 6+ and Air 2. On my 6+, the App Switcher and Spotlight are smoother than 9.1. Air 2 is much smoother as well. More importantly, iOS 9 is tons more stable than iOS 8 ever was.

iOS 8 was really that bad? come on, 2 months ago , that is all we apple fans had for the iPhone 6 and the air 2

AIR 2 was just fine running any version of 8, can say the same for my iPhone 6. I didnt own a 6+

8 ran just fine on last years i devices, its not like we are now years ahead in technology in a matter of months

I've had 9.1 on my phone crash more than than iOS 8.4.1 ever did and I've had 9.1 on my phone for a shorter period of time. The only thing i really notice running better is maybe Safari, that is about it.Everything else is about the same or worse than 8.4.1. Never really noticed any safari crashes with any version of iOS 8 on my iPhone 6 or my air 2 despite the RAM differences. I guess maybe I wasn't "power using" them.

It was really that bad for me, especially on my 6+. I couldn't go a day without multiple Safari crashes. It was terrible and I don't miss it in the least. I know some folks wax nostalgic over iOS 8's fluidity, but there's more to an OS than fluidity. That can eventually be tweaked.

iOS is a faded memory here. Bring on 9.2 b4 or 9.2 final.

Air 2 battery usage on 9.2 b3. Very pleased.

Seeing great battery life on my 6+ as well.

^ Got similar great results today with my normal 6s

Usage: 7 hr 08 mins
Standby: 26 hr 11 mins

2% left

Usually I get about 7.5 hours but most of my battery (62%) was watching videos on VLC

I don't think your positive 8.4.1 experiences were wrong at all, and I also don't think those who have issues with iOS 9 are wrong either. Those who ha

But compare iOS 9 at this point in time to when iOS 8 first came out, it was pretty bad. I remember how buggy iOS 8 was on my iPhone 6 at the time...I got it at launch. Portrait mode bug wasn't fixed until 8.2 or so, which was a long time, never mind the other performance issues and bugs that were present. The 5s and 6 ran fine on it initially but the other phones had lots of issues until 8.1.2 and 8.2. iOS 8 brought my favourite features to the iPhone, such as quick reply which I absolutely love, but it was also the buggiest iOS that I and many other iOS fans had ever encountered. I am not sure about iPhone OS 1-3 because I only started using iPhones with iOS 4, which had some issues at launch but iOS 8 was pretty bad when it came out and it took a very long time to improve.

iOS 8 for the longest time performed the best on the iPhone 5s until about 8.1 or so iirc. Whereas iOS 9 today, for all its faults, is a lot less (comparatively) bug ridden. The 9.2b 3 is better than anything I remember from iOS 8 being mid-Novmember of last year.

These laggy issues on the 64 bit phones aside, iOS 9 is arguably more stable than iOS 8 was

Its always good to take a trip back in time for reference; when iOS 8 came out this forum was filled with people having issues.

It took a while for apple to sort it out and stabilize it, and hopefully iOS 9 will be mostly bug free and the metal API issues will be solved so its smooth and fast across all the 64 bit devices. 8.4.1 is still the performance standard for the A7 and non-X A8 devices.

The main issue is that from the beginning iOS 9 was pegged to be a performance enhancing and optimization focused update, which thus far has not been the case as evident by the number of users who are having issues with bugs and performance. I agree with those who are having such issues, as it should have the performance enhancements as promised by Apple. Though iOS 8 was bug ridden at launch, it was never pegged by Apple to be a performance enhancing release.
 
9.1 on my iPhone 6 doesn't really seem much different than 9.2b3 running on my air 2 as far as smoothness goes. I have both devices sitting here in front of me as I type this. The usual improvements gained with the 2 gig of RAM in the air 2 are just as noticeable as they were when I had both devices running any version of iOS 8
iOS 9.2 affects the iPhone less thaṅ iPad.There was a significant difference in smoothness on my iPad Air 2 but not on my iPhone 6.ipad Air 2 is still not as fast as on 8.4.1
 
Fixed or not bugs
iOS 9.1
iPhone 5

Mobile data scrolling lag
Notifications double sound after 2minute
Status menu glitch lock screen shows one and after unlock shows another eg 4 signal bars in lock after lock open 5 or 3 and battery also
Setting bug battery leaks 6 percent from 24 to 18 or 20 to 14 after a long use and sudden standby

And animation lags in app switcher spotlight

Still unfixed or fixed some pls reply if not sent to apple

I was on beta 1 and 2 (went back to 9.1 because beta 2 was heating my phone up fast) But app switcher and spotlight was very smooth for me.

The notification double sound after 2 minutes, is that for the messages app? If so go into notifications and under messages at the bottom in should have "repeat alerts".

Status menu I am confused about so can't say sorry
 
I think iOS 9 is superior to iOS 7/8. My experience have been very good and the latest beta (beta 3) is very good. Only problem is the weird scrolling behavior in switcher, but I guess it will be fixed before release. I really like iOS 9!

I've found iOS 9.2 beta 3 to be extremely poor in terms of battery life both on my 6s Plus and my iPad Pro. I hope the next BETA fixes it. My "usage" time increases all day despite no apps actually being used. e.g. I've only used my iPad Pro about 2 hours since last night, and it's showing 9 hours of usage. Same behavior on my 6s Plus.

My 6s Plus barely makes it through the day now since upgrading from iOS 9 beta 2 to beta 3.

Here's a screenshot from my iPad Pro running iOS 9 beta 3. Frustrating, given I've no idea what's causing this issue on both my 6s Plus and iPad Pro... The battery usage tab is SO unhelpful. Clearly I've not used my iPad Pro for over 7 hours!

I have this problem on my 6s on iOS 9.1!

This is driving me crazy and seems to appear randomly!

Earlier today it drained 40% while in my pocket doing nothing!
And I have all the background stuffs turned off!

Was hoping 9.2 fixes it :confused:

I agree.

Much more stable, when compared to iOS 8. It needs to be tweaked a little more, but so did iOS 8.
 
I've had an air 2 since November last year and I do not recall any stability issues with it.

My Air 2 didnt crash ANY app nor did it lag even once on 8.4.1.iOS 9 so far has managed to do the latter
At the same time many others have had all kinds of issues with early versions of iOS 8. Perhaps some people just weren't noticing them. Or perhaps people can have different experiences with the same types of devices and software.
