Apple Seeds First Beta of iOS 12.1.1 to Public Beta Testers With FaceTime Improvements

They should implement the Android way of flipping cameras: just shake the phone a couple times and it switches.

Lol I definitely wouldn’t want them doing that. That’s terrible.

LTE still garbage.
Places where I had full bars with my previous phone are showing 1 bar or "No Service" on my XS.

What’s your carrier version?

Hope they fix the notification red dot on settings. Even though no notification in settings.

Reminds me of the calendar app. Remember they removed the split view of days and detailed events on the one screen.

Once you get the hang of it, it’s actually not bad. It’s more of a twisting motion. Also, you can disable it if you want.

I have to say Group FaceTime....did not have the beta. It's got a few bugs that were finding as im using it quite a bit more. Interface feels little sloppy un apple final product like...or just me.

I totally agree! It's not even beta standard, feels like it's in alpha stage. I can't believe apple released it like this.
10 years ago iChat group video calls worked much better...

No LTE on Sprint in NYC

I have had no LTE on my iPhone X for the last 48 hours. Unfortunately i am not sure if the issue started the day i installed this beta as i was on WiFi that whole day. It might be Sprint issue, it might be a beta issue.

I am in New York and did report the LTE outage to Sprint.

Anyone having similar issues?

Also, very happy to hear Sprint has got VoLTE working. Finally!

That sounds insane, why would anyone think that would be a good UX for a live video feed?

Hmm, you’re right. Now I’m wondering if it actually works on a video call, but I usually use it when just taking a photo vs selfie.

Yeah, that makes a whole lot more sense

I like Samsung’s way. Just flick up on the screen to switch between cameras.

I've noticed too. I called my parents and my mom had two chat boxes - one working and one not.
