Apple Seeds Fifth Beta of iOS 11 to Developers, Removes iCloud Messages for Now

[SerialStorm]

Got the restore screen about half way through the update on 6s+ so hopefully can repair then try the update a second time... if not will have to do a full reset.

Still waiting on my 5s to finish the update but looks like I'll have to do a reset on the 6s+. Oh well, that's why it's a beta... Always that chance.

Or when I take a picture with the volume up button, and the phone would revert to the Apple logo. Very annoying. But its a beta, so can't expect everything to work right yet.

Maybe this one I'll upgrade to. 4 didn't do it for me. Battery sucked more than a hooker.

 

[DaveOP]

Wonder if they have fixed the DONE button when you have taken a screenshot on the 7p

It's fixed! Finally aligned properly under the Carrier bars/name.

 

[csurfr]

I sure hope so!

Nope. Still underneath the signal bars.

Edit: on my first three screenshots it was underneath the signal bars as previous betas. My last two worked fine, so...

I did have to sign out and back in to Apple Music or I continued to get “this content not authorized.”

It's on the 7 as well, and god, that bug is killing me.

First screenshot and seems to have been fixed

Just finished updating, and have already found a new bug. For some reason the lock screen will not show my wallpaper, just a time and date against a black background.

Same thing here on my iPhone 7plus.

What’s build number?
Is Safari snappier?
What’s battery life?
Where’s the public beta?
Have they changed photos app icon?
Is Dark Mode there yet?
Why won’t my 32-bit apps work?
Got a link to release notes?

Give me a week to figure it out.
Wait for at least tomorrow.

No issue for me on my 7 Plus

For me it doesn’t happen when you raise to wake, only when you hit the sleep/wake button.

Just hard reset your phone and it will fix the issue with the wallpaper not showing. worked for me.

Beta 5 is buggy as hell. 4 was a lot smoother. Phone keeps refreshing.

Not experiencing this on iPhone 7

From the release notes:

The “Messages in iCloud” feature has been removed in iOS 11 beta 5 and will ship in a future software update to iOS 11. Users can continue to receive and store messages on each device, and they can continue to backup and restore messages using iCloud Backup.

Nothing for me. Try a hard reset.

​

I wonder what the problem was with that - didn't seem to work for me in the first betas but with the latest it's worked fine and I haven't seen anyone having issues with it. Maybe it's working fine and they're just disabling it while they scale the iCloud infrastructure to support it for the full release.

This is the first new iOS update I have EVER been looking forward to. Well done Apple!!!

But does it also restore the headphone jack?

Has anyone been running iOS 11 on an SE? Curious how it runs. I have it on my iPP and have been tempted to do my phone as well, but I was waiting for some of the bugs to be ironed out.

I do have a Watch if it makes any difference, I think I read the first few beta had Watch connectivity issues. But i wouldn't want to put the Beta on my watch.

Ios11 pb3 only today via delivered SE.

Very fast,no lags or probs at all.

Only been a few hours today

Still not getting it OTA yet on my 10.5" iPad Pro.

Yep. Some issues with iMessage and the app swither. But no crashes or rebooting or things like that.

To me that’s weird. I live in Europe and it’s installing as I write this.

 

[Mk2]

New icons for Settings and Camera.

 

[MarcoPohlo]

Updated settings icon.

Waiting for the task screen to stop jumping around when I first bring it up.

And it is! Sweet.

Apple today seeded the fifth beta of iOS 11 to developers for testing purposes, two weeks after releasing the fourth beta and two months after introducing the new update at the Worldwide Developers Conference.

Registered developers can download the fifth iOS 11 beta from Apple's Developer Center or over-the-air once the proper configuration profile has been installed.

According to Apple's release notes, in the fifth beta, iCloud Messages has been removed. Apple plans to reintroduce it in a future update to iOS 11. Today's beta fixes AirPlay, and tapping the AirPlay button in videos that are not full screen will no longer crash some apps. There's also a fix for a Calendar bug that could cause crashes when dragging items into the Calendar app, and FaceTime Live Photos is now an option that's enabled by default.

Favorites that were added to the Health app in iOS 11 beta 4 or earlier are no longer available, with Apple having restored Favorites that were selected prior to iOS 11.

iOS 11 introduces significant design changes, including a customizable Control Center and a new Lock screen that's been merged with the Notification Center. Peer-to-peer Apple Pay payments are coming in the Messages app, which is also gaining a new App Drawer, and there's a Do Not Disturb While Driving feature that's meant to help drivers stay focused on the road. Siri, Photos, the Camera app, and more are also gaining new features and refinements.

ARKit for developers will bring a range of new augmented reality apps and games to iOS devices, while a Core ML SDK has the potential to let developers build smarter apps. iOS 11 is also the biggest update ever for the iPad, with a new Dock that introduces much improved multitasking, a Files app for better managing files, improved Apple Pencil support, a revamped App Switcher, and a system-wide drag and drop feature.

iOS 11 is available for both registered developers and public beta testers and will see another month of testing ahead of a prospective September release date alongside new iPhones.
