Has anyone heard of any changes to the Apple Music App? Possibly making it a little easier to organize personal playlists like being able to organize by date added or artists via directly on the phone app? Where it also stays updated as you continue to add songs? This is easily the most annoying feature that Apple Music is lacking. Maybe most people don't obsess over their personal playlists like me, but it seems like a super easy add and they won't do it? And didn't they allow this with the service first released?
Got a tip for us?

Calling BS on public beta being available.
Lot of people saying they don't see the public beta. One reader we know of did see it and get it installed on iPad, so not sure what's going on. We've rolled back our update on this article until we know more about what's up. Anybody else seeing it?
Me too on my iPhone 12 PM. Nothing on iPadOS side, but it shouldn’t be long
Public beta available
Apple today seeded the eighth betas of iOS and iPadOS 15 to developers for testing purposes, with the updates coming one week after Apple released the seventh betas.
Registered developers can download the profile for the iOS and iPadOS betas from the Apple Developer Center, and once the profile is installed, beta updates will be available over the air.
iOS 15 is a major update that introduces a slew of new features focused on cutting down on distractions and spending more time with friends and family.
FaceTime has a revamped interface with new SharePlay features for listening to music, watching videos, and sharing your screen with your friends and family members, though this is delayed until after the launch of iOS 15. In Messages, if something like a url, photo, news article, or song is shared with you, you can see the content in Apple's dedicated apps through a new Shared With You Feature.
Focus lets you create custom notification modes that hide irrelevant apps and notifications when you're doing things like working or spending time with your family so you can better focus on the activity at hand, and there's a new notification summary that de-prioritizes less important notifications so you're not constantly inundated with information.
Maps includes a new 3D view in select cities that lets you see 3D landmarks, there are immersive AR directions when walking, and driving directions are better than ever, especially at complex interchanges.
Safari has been redesigned with a new look that moves the Tab Bar to the bottom of the interface (though this is optional), plus it now supports Tab Groups for improved organization, and extensions can be used in Safari for iOS devices for the first time. Later this year you'll be able to add your ID card to the Wallet app in some U.S. states, and Apple is making it easier to add key cards for hotels, smart home locks, and more to the Wallet app.
Spotlight is better than ever and can bring up more tailored search results, and Photos has a "Live Text" feature that lets you take a photo of something with text like a receipt to translate it into typed text on your iPhone. Photos can also identify landmarks, books, plants, and pets, so you can snap a photo of a plant and get information on what it might be.
Apple has also added multiple privacy improvements, such as a new App Privacy report coming to the iPhone that will let you know how often apps access sensitive info like your location, a Mail feature that hides your IP address, and Siri processing that's done on device.
For a complete overview of everything that's new in iOS 15, we have a dedicated roundup that walks through all of the new features, and Apple has been adding feature refinements throughout the beta testing period. The sixth beta, for example, overhauled the design of Safari and added a toggle to disable changes introduced in earlier betas. In the seventh beta, Apple said that iCloud Private Relay will be introduced as a beta feature at launch.

Hoping this fixes screen reading (swipe down from top with 2 fingers). Has worked very inconsistently to date. Reads a random number of words/sentences, then stops. Seems to vary in the amount read each time I try.
I’m not seeing anything for WatchOS PB, even after updating my iPhone to PB8. I don’t know if I’m the only one
I was surprised that the update for my iPad mini 5 was almost twice the size of the update for my 2021 12.9” iPad Pro.
You can change it back in safari settings in the settings app.
that mini’s going to be bulging at the seams. Haha.
You are able to sort your list of playlist by date added and recently played. I’m not sure if date added means last time I you added a song or the date the playlist was created. Recently played works for me to not have to search for my favorite playlist every time.
If you do it right, you can restore your iOS 15 backup to your iOS 14.7.1 phone. Mine worked really well.
I’ve downgraded throughout the 15 betas; each time reverting to 14.x.x, etc.. Each time restore gave me many errors. DFU Mode every time. After a few it finally takes and downgrades.
im hold at 14.7.1 for now.
Incorrect, a final beta is a final beta so it would a beta with a number. The finished build of this version of iOS would be called the release candidate. Source: iOS developer
PSA - For Swedish Beta-users :
The app Freja E-ID (electronic identification) is not working in Beta 7 and 8.
I have been In contact with the company, and they confirm that they do not support (nor will they) beta versions of iOS due to security reasons.
If you rely on Freja E-ID for loggins and/or other ID situations - do not install betas of iOS 15 (or future versions).
(This was something I really would have liked for someone to have told me before I tried to use the app for identification when picking up a DHL parcel at a service center 🤣)
