Newly updated to this beta today and my weather complication on my Watch is blank. Stocks will not work either (not that I use that one) Sigh

I'm now seeing a "Shuffle All" button above the "Recently Added" section in My Music when on the Library tab. You may have to pull down to see it. I don't believe that was there before. Now if they just give an easy option to download all music rather than adding to a Smart Playlist...

Also in Music, when I updated it started redownloading some of my music. It's done this before in the past but through an entire download of around four hundred songs, I didn't get a single alert or error pop-up which I was previously receiving many of.

Search finally seems to be working in the Podcasts app again and I also believe that they tweaked the Top Charts design. It's now a vertical list and I think it was two horizontal lists before.

Not terribly impressed with it on my plus although the wallpaper scroll stutter is improved once again, still not perfect though!

No, I have never seen that in any other iOS version nor the betas. Never.
Settings are Mexico, language spanish.

Sorry, but they've been there. Not sure what you want me to say. I don't have any devices on iOS 6 or later, but I can tell you the Regulatory menu is on my iPad Air 2 running iOS 8.4.

I am pretty disappointed with this beta. I did a clean install on 5s with no backup, I gave it time to do his "indexing" BS and: multitasking is still not buttery smooth, control center still lags, scrolling is a bit laggy and the animation when you rotate the keyboard is again, LAGGY. It is an improvement over beta 4 but is not as good as 8.4 or better as some say. Also, when I try to sync my music with my pc, it makes itunes crash.

Battery iPhone 6 beta 5 unplugged from charge long to 100% seem to be loosing 1% every few minutes currently down to 83% with 26mins usage. Not looking good this one. Photo was taken before and photo taken now within 20mins of each other

The News app seems to have a few welcome changes. Now, when I hold down on an article it gives three option in a pop up at the bottom of the screen: "Share Story," "Save," and "Like." I like that this is an option although it would be nice if there was a quicker way to do it like a gesture swipe.

Stories that you have read now appear to have a greyed out title text when you go back to the list of articles, indicating which articles you've already viewed.

Also, it appears so far that it is remembering my location in the timeline better. This will take time to tell if it is actually better but before I would randomly get taken all the way to the top when opening the app and it would only sometimes remember where I was. Even if it had only been a few hours. I'm hoping that it now remembers it consistently. A visual marker showing where you left off would have also been a good addition but I'm glad to see they're still making improvements.

Sorry. I'll let Tim know.

Give it some time. I have had this happen a few times in the past. Fixed with up-pair and pair again but this cleared some of my activity data. I have turned location services off and on with little success. (suggested) I have opened the weather app on my phone and set a default location with limited success. Yesterday when I didn't have the temperature I restarted everything, turned location services off and on and made sure weather would show on my phone. Nothing helped so I ignored it. A few hours later it was back and has been fine. I have only lost the temperature view a few times but I don't know why nor do I have a solid fix other than to pair again.

That's not the iCloud backup problem which is fixed and I think was fixed in B4, that's the iCloud phantom storage problem that was a result of the iCloud backup problem :)- That one is not fixed and may never be fixed.
I have this problem too. I wonder what I'm going to have to do? Just wait and see if it gives me the space back eventually. I have 2.9 available out of 5gb with absolutely nothing saved on iCloud. So I know it has to have been an iOS 9 backup.

Of course Regulatory menu has always been in the Settings app. What changed with this beta is its location; Settings > General, not Settings > General > About > Legal

I was gonna say, indexing can take a while. If it still hasn't improved, do a hard reset, it's surprising what that can do.
