It broke my wireless connection on my iPad Mini. All my other devices log in fine. I can't even restore it from my backup because I can't turn off Find my iPad, which it tells me I need to do first, because it's on iCloud and I don't have any wireless to access it. Anyone else encountered this?
 
This beta is super smooth and runs great on my iPhone X. Also, my battery life has improved quite some, i’ve been using my iPhone since 8am and is 6:30pm and i have 52% left.
 
Beta 11.3 downloaded on SE on the 28th and caused some significant problems and a lot of time wasted. Would not accept apple password in App Store or iTunes. Kept asking for it in a loop. Changed on computer same thing with new password. 25 updates stacked up with no way to download. My CNBC app quite giving stock quotes. Apple store was stumped and said it must be the Beta and reinstalled previous IOS. Then could not download to the latest backup because it was made with 11.3 so I am missing 3 days of photos and texts not to mention another 3 hours. A real mess.

Apple today released the first public beta of an upcoming iOS 11.3 update to its public beta testing group, one day after seeding the first beta to developers and a few days after releasing the iOS 11.2.5 update.

Beta testers who are members of Apple's beta testing program will receive the iOS 11.3 beta update over-the-air after installing the proper certificate on an iOS device.

Those who want to join the beta testing program can sign up on Apple's beta testing website, which gives users access to iOS, macOS, and tvOS betas. iOS betas are not always stable and should not be installed on a primary device.


iOS 11.3 is a significant update that introduces multiple new features like Messages on iCloud for storing your iMessages in iCloud, and ARKit 1.5, a new, upgraded version of ARKit that can more accurately map irregularly shaped surfaces and recognize and place objects on vertical surfaces like walls.

Four new Animoji are available for the iPhone X, the Health app has a new Health Records feature where you can store your medical records, and AirPlay 2 features are available in both iOS 11.3 and tvOS 11.3.

Other features new to iOS 11.3 include an Apple News "For You" section that displays the top videos of the day, Advanced Mobile Location (AML) for sharing more accurate location info when placing an emergency call in a supported country, and a new Privacy icon that will show up whenever Apple asks you for info. iBooks has also had the "i" removed from its name, so it's just "Books" now.

In the future, Apple plans to introduce more detailed information about the health of a device's battery. The update should provide a lot more data about battery health, and there will also be an option to let customers turn off the power management feature entirely, though Apple does not recommend disabling it.

Business Chat, which will let you interface with businesses like Wells Fargo, Delta, Hilton and Lowe's right in the Messages app is coming when iOS 11.3 is released, and improvements to Apple Music will bring better support for music videos.

Apple says iOS 11.3 will be released to the public in the spring.

Does anyone know anything about how messages works under 11.3 and iCloud. I have an iPhone 6s that has all my text messages on it. I have bought a 7 and had to set it up as a new device as recommended by Apple as I was experiencing issues. Everything is working fine but of course I have lost all my iMessages/SMS messages. Once 11.3 is released, if I upgrade my 6s and 7 will the contents of my Messages app sync? Many Thanks Jamie
 
So I'm curious....

With the Apple TV now in the Home App...

Can I hypothetically set up a scene such as this:

When I "arrive home" within the geo fence...

My Ecobee turns on the thermostat.
My Hue Turns on the Lights.
My Wemo Turns on my Fans.
My Apple TV turns on my Smooth Jazz.

?

Or is that not the functionality? I hope it is, that would be nice!
