iOS 9.3 Beta 4 Bug fixes, Changes and Performance Improvements

[SMIDG3T]

Are there any fixes for Apple Music? It has many issues. And I dont think these are because of beta and they exist in 9.2.1 as well.

Can't see any changes in this beta. What issues are you having?

I have Beta 3 and if you have the night mode on and activate energy save mode, night mode will not be deactivated.

Honestly I dont know where to start from...
- For You section sometimes fail to load
- Sometimes it takes a while to start playing a song (even when I have 25mbit wifi connection).
- Viewing search results has issues.

To name a few... I had none these issues with Spotify.

Hm. So could be a bug in beta 4. Thanks.

I just tried Night Shift and turning on LPM on Beta 3 (iPhone 5s). On my device, Night Shift stayed on.

Or a change in functionality.

Or that. I guess we won't know until the next beta/final release.

Potentially. If it stays that way when 9.3 is released (and perhaps if they might update https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT205234 although it might all just fall under "visual effects") we might have an idea.

Is the News app available in new countries—specifically Mexico? Thanks in advance.

Not likely. It's still not available in Canada.

Not likely. It's still not available in Canada.

Bummer, thanks! I remember someone mentioned that it was showing up in The Netherlands IIRC on beta 3.

Can someone please check if scrolling on the iPad Mini 4 is choppy like in 9.2.1 or smooth?

Anyone has a problem with the Apple Watch not displaying notifications on this beta? Mine is iPhone 6S Plus running iOS 9.3 beta 3 and Apple Watch running watchOS 2.1 and the notification doesn't work for me

New star icons.

I posted about this on a previous page in this thread and annotated the wiki. I kinda liked the mini popularity bars more to be honest, but I'll take this haha

New star icons.

Do albums have banner images now? I'm back on 921 and mine looks a lot different

Only a few of them.

Shame I really liked the bars :/

 

[Jsameds]

I don't know if I like this new one... but I guess it's better than the previous.
But I'll always prefer this one:

I don't know if I like Daniel Craig... but I guess he's better than Pierce Brosnan.
But I'll always prefer this one:

Anyone with broken Bluetooth car connectivity? Turn by turn spoken directions and speaker phone over Bluetooth are both broken for me.

Update: Forgetting this Device and repairing in the Bluetooth settings resolved the issue.

Does plugging in headphones still launch the Music app and cue up all your music?

That's real annoying.

 

[Yun0]

what bug with passcode?

ps: Can someone tell us if this problem explained here ( https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/ios-9-vs-ios-8-4-1-unresponsiveness.1942001/page-23) is resolved in this beta 4? This is the main problem for me in all iOS 9 versions. It drives me crazy.

in iphone 6 about half the time when u slide the screen nothing happened, all u see is ur background & no passcode keys, had to slide back, then slide again to get them to show up (incorrectly too).

Anyone has a problem with the Apple Watch not displaying notifications on this beta? Mine is iPhone 6S Plus running iOS 9.3 beta 3 and Apple Watch running watchOS 2.1 and the notification doesn't work for me

I erased and restored my iPhone last night and had that exact problem today morning. Very curiously — and I don't know why — most of my app notifications were either turned off in Settings, or 'Show in Notification Center' was turned off and Alert Style When Unlocked was set to None.

Hope that's the same with you so that it doesn't trouble you much. If not, you could try turning Bluetooth off, restarting both the iPhone and the Watch and turn Bluetooth back on. If that doesn't help, then un-pair / re-pair (which is a five letter b-word).

Are 3D Touch animations smooth now on the 6S Plus in landscape?
