Apple Seeds Seventh Beta of iOS 10 to Developers and Public Beta Testers

[larryak]

On Monday, shortly after I installed Developer Beta 6 on my iPhone SE, I was locked out of my phone. It would not unlock using the passcode I entered. I ended up doing a full restore using iTunes, which installed IOS 9.3.4. At that point I decided to take a break from Beta's. Maybe this addresses that? Or not...

Sincerely hope this puts all my artwork back. As much as I love staring at a semi-transparent Apple Music Icon for songs that seem to be fully artworked in the search results before I add them to my library...

I know when iOS 10 was first announced one feature they promoted was the ability to remove the stock Apple apps. If I remove the Mail app, can I use the Gmail app as my mail client?

Yes, you can do that on iOS9.

Just move GMAIL to the top on your Share Sheet.

This happens sometimes. This is why you don't run beta updates (or hell, even software updates in general) unless you're going to be home and around your computer.

It even happened to my girlfriend once on a REGULAR iOS 9 update.

I'm sorry, but this is still a poor design.

You're telling me a 12.9" iPad Pro doesn't have enough screen real estate and requires scrolling text??

Also, the date isn't centered below the clock.

Agree notifications screen on the iPad is horrible looking. Love the iPhone version, but very little thought was given to iPad's IMO.

I'll find out once it's installed, but has that silly feature of sending messages (where you hold on the send button) reappeared yet? It was there in like beta 1, but I haven't been able to get it to work in the later ones.

Turn Reduce Motion off in Accessibility. Unfortunately they tied the messages effects to that setting a few betas ago.

If using a 6S then it's now become a 3D Touch feature if your on an older device I am unable to comment but it should be there

They probably found a Universe breaking bug. Universe breaking bugs are actually worse than system breaking bugs, because they result in the entire universe being destroyed.

This has happened a few times already in the past couple of years, which is why 2016 is so messed up. Apple has a lot to atone for.

lol

He was being sarcastic. Wow.

I think he's trying to be sarcastic.

Honestly, it's getting really hard to tell these days.

The posts on this forum are getting more moronic by the day.

What he said.

You can use it but if you click on an email link to send an email anywhere and don't have the default mail app installed, it will prompt you to download it in order to send the mail.

Even after iOS 10 beta 7 is the status bar bug still not fixed

See the image: Spotlight search results

 

[Jimmy Bubbles]

Idk about any other developers here, but I just submitted feedback on seeing glitches in Notification Center.

Have you reported it?

 

[Jungo]

odd it's public beta 6 that is coming up for me ... must I do 6 before 7 ?

 

[themick4u]

I've submitted a few bugs from dev beta 6 to Apple's feedback.... Let's hope they are fixed here

Public beta numbering is one lower than developer beta (since public betas started with developer beta 2 for iOS 10), so the latest public beta would be 6 while it would be 7 for developer beta (with the same build for both).

that happened to me too. it was because in accessibility settings i'd disabled zoom and effects. That disables the imessage special affects too

You can use it but if you click on an email link to send an email anywhere and don't have the default mail app installed, it will prompt you to download it in order to send the mail.

It would be really nice if the user could choose what app to use for email. I was hoping one of the later betas would make this happen.

 

[shanson27]

Have you reported it?

Yeah, many times

 

[LordQ]

Yeah, many times

I'll report it too

 

[macintoshmac]

It is the new "safari feels snappier"

Indeed!

 

[gaximus]

The new OS doesn't break apps. Those apps just haven't been updated for the new OS. That's on the app developer, not Apple.

I agree, but that is why Microsoft skipped Windows 9, because it would have broke old legacy software that would check on the windows version by checking if the string starts with "Windows 9" for 95 and 98

wow thanks - I never would have guessed that.

 

[applepuree]

Strange, I havent been offered the update.

 

[GIZBUG]

Haven't noticed anything new with this beta
