How’s eye tracking for you? Some users here reported eye tracking issues with Beta 3.
Eye tracking is so much better. I can now make youtube videos full screen without skipping to the end of the video. This feels like an RC version although we won't get that until later. But yes, much more polished than bug-ridden Beta 3.

Yup this has been happening to me and it's pissing me off! I should have stayed on beta 3.

edit: can confirm that the putting the cover on the front and activating the low light prompt is working as a temp fix.
I am seeing this myself in the Beta4. Interesting solution - thanks.

>> As Beta testers, I hope, we report this to Apple in the Feedback App.

I don't experience this issue. Try to Reset All Settings (it will not delete your data).
This is what I have randomly experienced while in the dark:
• I always put the cover on the AVP before removing it from my face, even if temporarily.
• When I'm in the dark, I have put on the AVP and the environment is all rotated about 25º clockwise. If I repeat it (Covering and removing the AVP, then putting it back on), it will continue to rotate.
I have tried everything, but the only solution is to restart the AVP. This doesn't happen all the time, and I think the problem starts when I put on the AVP and don't remove the cover immediately.

An interesting error - I just did the opposite several times - now no cover any time: Removed the AVP - let it sleep - put it on - working flawlessly twice now. Forgot to have a look at the visible apps - no Safari in any case.

I may have figured it out:
• What’s happening is that the AVP loses track of its location, so when you put it on, you will be outside the area of the Environment.
There are two solutions to the problem:
• Remove the AVP, go back to the place where you left it when taking a break and put it on there, or
• While wearing your AVP, walk back to the place you left it, or just walk around until you enter the Environment.

If after doing any of the above solutions the windows start moving with you, turn ON Travel Mode and the turn it OFF.

Some possibilities you could try to avoid this problem from happening may be:
• When you take it off, don’t place it far from where you were using it.
• Put on the cover before removing the AVP (although you already tried sucessfully without it).
• And finally, when you remove the AVP, don’t let it sit upside-down. That could be confusing the location sensors.

Beta 5 running here. That thingie for the setup up in the sky, if you look at it has returned as default. I like that.

Beta 4 annoyed me with the blue location icon that appeared on every move of myself and disturbed everywhere appears to be intercepted now.

The biggest problem that I have noticed, is that spatial photos that have been processed through a third-party means ( SpatialCamera app, kandao ego camera) no longer show as spatial in the Photos app. The photo just stays blurred out, and the little spatial icon is also grayed out.

Have you figured out a fix for this? it's happening to me also

InnBeta 6 (haven’t tried in previous betas), it’s impossible to change the Author’s name in Pages.The field loses selection and I’m not able to type.
I had to do it with my iPhone.
