Apple Releases Fifth Public Betas of iOS 13 and iPadOS

[moshmike]

I honestly don't know if someone has asked this yet but, where is Spotlight on iPad OS? I swear I can't find it! Thanks in advance.

I can't seem to get audio to go to through the usb c port with using a USB-C to audio jack cable. Anyone else able to get this to work?

Finally folder colors match background wallpaper. No more black background making dock and folder colors gray.

EDIT: it looks like the folders are no longer frosted. I don’t like that. When the color doesn’t match exactly it really stands out.

so should i not install this if im an apple watch user? (on 5.3...not beta)

Someone may have already answered, but, I installed and my Watch (OS 5.3) still connects to my phone. Hopefully, this will fix the battery drain issue that I've been experiencing since beta 5 of iOS 13. Not been long enough to tell, yet.
But, I just checked, and I'm still at 90%. I charged my Watch to 90% a little bit after updating the phone. That was a couple of hours ago. Soooo...things are looking up!

Same here - three hours since update and battery level hasn’t budged. Previously, it was just a blur as the battery ran down.

There are several reports since yesterday that this beta resolves Watch (Series 4, non-beta Watch OS) battery drain problems. So I am already downloading it.

I couldn't wait to download it...for this reason. My Watch has held it's charge at 90% for a little more than 2 hours now.
I know that's not exactly long enough to prove it's fixed, but, it's looking like it is.

 

[LaGuarpe]

Yes.
After 2h with PB5, my AW4 is still on 100%

I’m surprised we don’t have MacOS Beta 6 yet. I was hoping they’d release it today.

 

[coachgq]

How is that a solution?
It’s badly designed don’t fix it just don’t look at it?

Really?

Because when you slide it off the screen, you don’t see it. #Solution.

I have only had it for 3 hours but it seems to have fixed it.

My watch battery has dropped from about 73% to 51% after a few hours with PB 5. Doesn't look like it solved the watch battery issue, for me anyway.

 

[roncron]

Sorry for the dumb question, but how do you do delete the mail app and reinstall while preserving your accounts? I only have 2 POP accounts in Mail so will those accounts be preserved?

Not a stupid question at all.

The accounts live on a server, which is why you can access them from multiple devices. The Mail app is just a portal to the accounts on the server. Deleting the Mail app will not and can not delete the accounts.

Have you reset your watch?

 

[Tivoli_]

Any improvements to HomeKit Airplay yet?

 

[dillacom]

Have you reset your watch?

I've been off charger on my watch since 5am, 12 hours, and at 67% battery. looks good for mine

 

[Gator5000e]

Have you reset your watch?

I rebooted it. I will shut it down as well as the X and restart them both and see if that helps.

 

[GIZBUG]

it's beta.
It did.

Mr. Negative

It’s been out 4 hours.............


Can’t trust your assumption given such little testing time. Sorry

I really miss the text announce on my AirPods 2. I hope it comes back before and not something that takes till spring to make work.

Guess I should ask what you mean by reset?

 

[MacMouse808]

I did.
so far so good.
I'm on beta everything except watch.

Split screen and slide over still don't work if you're using apps in folders in the dock. I figure this is a pretty important bug, would have thought it would have been addressed by now.

Yeah, and the third party widget transparencies that don't darken with dark mode (and honestly look better when darkened in any mode).

Anyone using Microsoft Remote Desktop Client with PB on iPad? Does it work? Thx!
