It's still there for me.
Ok.. sorted it..

When in the "old" widget section it will display a larger widget (4 headlines) version of the Today widget. if you are adding to Home Screen, it only shows the 3 headline version

Yeah, I do have a Max. And yeah, the largest widget for news only works in the widget area, it can't be put on the Home Screen.
 
I hope they are not rushing it, Betas 1 through 3 were great, Beta 4 was so buggy it was unbelievable.

The built-in translation feature, one of the most exciting for me, has turned out to be less than good. Translations are poor and having to pick the languages beforehand is annoying. Also the off-set "window" that opens when writing in the translation app is also kind of silly and unnecessary, just translate away.

Weekly updates doesn't mean they're rushing, it just means they've limited their scopes and now only focusing on refining, optimizing and getting GM out within the next month (no new features or big merges that sometime can destabilize the OS like in b4 for you). Then they'll go back to fixing bigger bugs for 14.x.x/14.x releases.

As for translations, that's expected to be evolving over time, not something they'll have perfected in the first iteration. People will have to report issues and they'll train/update models to push to devices.

Think Maps, it'll be a few years before it'll be usable for sure.

Yes, but before it showed it to you when editing the home screen. Now, it only shows when you are editing the widget area.
 
"Lifestyle" App Library section renamed "other" I believe photo was renamed "creativity" (verify?)

Airline, loyalty and travel apps are there, and feedback app has been moved there as well

Still off that Testflight gets its own section in the App Library, but the actual TestFlight icon is in the "utilities" section

Same here. My “Lifestyle” folder was renamed “Other” as well.

It’s funny, I just checked software update to see if a new beta was out (public) as I’ve been having FaceID unlock issues for the past few days. Glad to see the update athough I’ll have to wait to update until Thursday, assuming it will hit tomorrow, as I’m traveling for work.

Me too! I thought there was something wrong with my phone because I deadass forgot that I was on beta software 😂 I’ve turned my phone off and on and everything went back to normal though.

Has anyone had issues with Apple Watch since beta 4 was released and not fixed with beta 5. I have had a issue and trying to find out if it’s the beta or a failure
 
FYI:

Not sure if nearing the iOS 14 GM or the iPhone 12 is more exciting though. :p

Not everybody having an iPhone with iOS 13 will upgrade to an iPhone 12
But everybody having an iPhone with iOS 13 will update to iOS 14!

So i'm definitely excited for Big Sur and iOS 14! To be honest, for the first time ever i'm more excited about a MacOS release than an iOS release!

Where’s the Translation app? I haven’t been able to find it to test.
 
Are pinned text conversations finally going to 'stick'? *fingers crossed*
I hope. Hasn't happened to me too much. I mostly get the messaging badge with nothing new in the app until I kill it and restart. What I think would be cool as a Messaging Feature would be that the pinned with no new would be smaller and become larger and bolded when there are new messages.
