Hmm, I don't seem to have this on my iPhone 6. Is this limited to certain phones?
I want to update but what does "removes iCloud messages" mean? If I update will all my messages be gone? I only have this phone and nothing else.
Yes but you still had to 3d-touch/long-press the widget for it to expand before you could tap on this icon. Now this icon has changed, and you can now access the sound output directing with a single tap on this icon, even when the widget is not expanded.
Just unpaired and repaired the watch, no fix. Activity seems to be gone for now.
I saw it on a video on YouTube.

That didn’t go for me. iPad Air2.And iPhone SE neither. I know no 3D touch. But the other ones work well.

A feature that would backup messages to the iCloud was introduced in the an earlier iOS 11 Beta version. Unfortunately, it didn't work properly, so they've decided to delay it. Your messages won't be deleted.
Nope. The lines (top and bottom of camera body) are gone in the camera icon. Settings icon is darker/bolder.

iOS 11 will have a feature whereby iMessages will be stored in the cloud for use across devices. That feature has been turned off for this particular beta.
No, this is a new animated one that is available from the control center main screen. You don't have to long tap into now playing and then tap again to get into audio sources on the iPad now, which took longer since iPad doesn't have 3D touch. It's a new icon that looks like a quarter rotated WiFi icon with only two "waves" and it animates continuously in the top right corner.
Is Dark Mode there yet?
Their dark mode is:
Settings
General
Accessibility
Display Accomodations
Invert Colors
Smart invert = On
BUT IT’s NOT THE BEST RIGHT NOW!

I think as it gets closer to the GM they will do that... i could be wrong of course.
Right. I'm trying to understand if this means a future software update during the beta process, or if it would be part of an iOS 11.x update. That's the part I was unclear about.
I upgraded my wife's iPhone 6S to public beta 3 two weeks ago just for the cloud messages. She's got a 16GB phone and is short on storage so this feature was a godsend.
Do you think she can stay in that beta until it's back in a future version of ios? Or will apple stop syncing her messages?

So in order to compensate for the lack of a home button to double press on one device, they are instead going to require some sort of screen interaction to display the app switcher.
Wouldn’t then the 3D Touch feature that’s not present in the beta, but we’ve already had for years to get accustomed to, be such a solution? Might that not possibly be why it was introduced in the first place, baby steps in adding new features to acclimatise us to future changes.
I get what you’re saying, I’m sure Apple will have something great in store for the iPhone 8 and it’s new screen layout.
But the iPhone 8 is not the only iPhone, nor even the only new iPhone it would seem. So why punish the millions of people who have been using and enjoying 3D Touch for years.
Before switching to the beta I never used the home button to bring up the switcher, it was always pressing the left of the screen. It just seemed easier as my thumb would usually be closer to that than the home button.
Though I am entirely certain there will be as many, if not more, people who still stuck to the old way of using the home button. So I’m hoping Apple have a happy medium to suit all kinds.
Weather...temp...now playing. All are missing in the last 2-3 PB’s. Sent feedback, look forward to it being resolved.
Battery life seems to be restored on my 10.5" iPad and iPhone 7. Was draining pretty quickly with beta 4 even in standby it seemed.
I don’t know for sure why they disabled the iCloud messages. But for me I think a reason is the battery life situation. For me when I had iCloud message sync on my battery deleted very fast. And I notice it deleted faster the more I used iMessage. I was dropping almost 1 percent every couple mins with imessage usage. But when I used other applications much less noticeable battery drain.
This one is a dud. Now, after a couple screen lock/unlock cycles, the touchscreen stops receiving input. The home and side buttons work, but a hard restart is required to get the screen back to a touchable state.
Quick update; it seems that Apple has fixed the problems with Apps not downloading. I tried activity again tonight and it worked as advertised.
