It did for me, yes. I get 3rd party notifications again, and for Messages, I get notified on either the phone (when unlocked) or the watch (when the phone's locked), instead of both all the time.

Apple today seeded the fifth beta of an upcoming iOS 9.3 update to developers and public beta testers for testing purposes, just over a week after seeding the fourth iOS 9.3 beta and three months after the public release of iOS 9.2, the last major update to iOS 9. iOS 9.3 has been in testing since January 11.

The fifth iOS 9.3 beta is available as an over-the-air update and through the iOS section of the Apple Developer Center (developers only).

As promised by Apple, today's update restores full navigational functionality to the Apple Pencil. In earlier betas of iOS 9.3, the Apple Pencil has been unable to be used for tasks like selecting text, scrolling, swiping between apps, accessing menus, and general editing functions in non-drawing apps. The feature removal upset many iPad Pro users, leading Apple to confirm that its absence was only temporary.

As a major .1 update to the iOS 9 operating system, iOS 9.3 introduces several new features. There's a Night Shift mode to reduce the amount of blue light iOS users are exposed to in the evening by shifting the iPad or iPhone display to a warmer (yellower) color spectrum, and there are several features designed to improve the iPad for Education program, such as multi-user login. Multi-user login, while an appealing feature, is limited to MDM customers and is not available to the general public.


Multiple apps and features are also seeing updates in iOS 9.3. Apple News includes more personalized recommendations, faster updates, a landscape view on the iPhone, and support for in-line video, while Health includes a new Apple Watch-style "Activity" view, Notes has an option to password protect individual entries, and third-party apps can add songs to Apple Music.

Apple Music for CarPlay offers "New" and "For You" sections for better music discovery, and a Nearby Feature in CarPlay Maps offers more information about what's close by. Paired with watchOS 2.2, an iPhone running iOS 9.3 is able to support multiple Apple Watches, and for iPhone 6s users, there are new Quick Actions for Weather, Settings, Compass, Health, App Store, and iTunes Store.

The second iOS 9.3 beta added a Control Center toggle for the Night Shift feature, while the third iOS 9.3 beta focused on fixing bugs and added Verizon Wi-Fi calling.

What's new in iOS 9.3 beta 5

Night Shift Control Center toggle - The Night Shift toggle in the Control Center no longer has a pop up menu with options to "Turn On For Now" or "Turn On Until Tomorrow. The button's function is now simpler, turning Night Shift on and off on demand.

[doublepost=1457005833][/doublepost]These are great changes however Apple are failing to sort some very simple things that are import, when trying to use your iPhone professionally.

1. No notifications when an invite on a calendar appointment accepts your invite.

2. With certain contacts in the notification comes up with only the number, not the name which is saved against that number.

I lost 10% overnight (10hrs standby), that's 2% less than I did on 9.3 beta 4. I think it's still terrible. Some other people spoke to say that they don't lose that much but Apple did tests on battery and said it's fine although I doubt it somehow.

Do you have any notifications during the night? I have a lot of Twitter alerts due to the NBA. It might be why I lose about 10% on average per night on this beta.

I have always lost no less than 7% each night.
 
Is this new? I noticed it when trying to set my Apple Watch password to "0000" and it's the same on iPhone.

I have been testing this with an MDM profile and a password policy. When I try and change the password on the device to a password that does not match the password policy from the MDM, after perhaps 10 attempts, it wipes the device. I replicated the issue twice. It's not that I am inputting the current password wrong, I put that in correct, it is when I try put in a new password. Anyone tried this?

No, usually none. Occasionally a couple of iMessage's but most of the time, nothing. Push mail, bluetooth, background app refresh, mobile data, location services and auto update apps all off with only full brightness (doesn't apply when locked though) and Wi-Fi is on. I have the exact same settings that I always have, even on my 5s when I had that.
