Apple Seeds Fourth Beta of iOS 11.4 to Developers [Update: Public Beta Available]

[AllergyDoc]

Beta version available for my 7 Plus but not yet for my iPad 6.

Edit: 2 profiles I had on the iPad were somehow deleted. Reinstalled and downloading the beta 4 update.

 

[I7guy]

On my 6s, this beta is very, very good.

Stereo HomePods with AirPlay 2: coming in June 2019... Only on HomePod - Special AirPlay Edition.

Ugh. Why won't Apple let me buy a second one!!

 

[MrGuder]

So this means iOS 11 is now polished and complete?

 

[MrZippyUK]

Any improvement in the stuttering scroll in a 3rd party apps on the iPhone X. I’m sick to death of this, I had the last beta but was still the same. So assumed maybe an upgrade bug when I got the iPhone X, so I didn’t a factory restore and setup as a new phone, still the same! Twitter is best example, vertical scroll stutters, whereas their web app in safari is fine, so I fail to believe a hardware bug, my wife’s iPhone X is the same.

Please can someone help with this, to get some more mainstream media coverage, this phone is in theory costing me £1199 as on iPhone upgrade programme.

HomePod stereo and multi-HomePod rooms are separate features, correct? Like, can I have two HomePod’s in my living room under ‘living room’ in Home and have them both playing the same thing simoultaneously yet not in actual ‘stereo’?

Whilst they are technically separate features they'll both come under the AirPlay 2 banner.

It looks like the ability to set screen lock to never is gone...?

The word 'stereo' is a bit of a misnomer. They will work cooperatively to provide the best sound in the room possible.

Here’s to hoping notifications are fixed in this beta! After last beta, notifications on the X were totally hit or miss.

 

[briguy453]

Still no freaking Atmos/X? What the hell Apple?

 

[krusnof]

This one is hurting my phone. Battery draining very fast (no apps open in background), and doesn't recognize or even allow charing from non-Apple lightning cables (incl. Anker Powerline II). iPhone 8. Hope it's a freak case since this sucks.

Guys, how soon will public betas for iOS 12 and macOS 10.14 be released after developer betas during the Keynote?

I think it has been timed with beta 2 the last few times, so likely about 3 weeks after. I don’t remember for sure, though.

 

[Shirasaki]

It is an opt-in feature.

Not much opt-in if you are 2FA and iCloud enabled - It is turned on by default.

Nope - Still there.

 

[macking104]

Nope. Still having major issues with the screen becoming totally unresponsive.

Hard reboot help? If not stop by an Apple store for diagnostics...

1. Press down the Volume Up button and release
2. Press down the Volume Down button and release
3. Hold down the side Power / Lock button until you see the  Apple logo appear on screen, this can take about 10 seconds or so
4. Once you see the  Apple logo on the display, release the Power button and the device will boot up as usual

Can be related to having a work exchange account on the phone or something similar to that.

Possible, but the option was definitely there for me in the previous beta with no account changes

Do you have a MDM on the phone?

Searched this thread for the word, “bug“ before I posted this, so hopefully it’s not been addressed.

Has anyone been able to confirm whether this version fixes the iPhone 7 series microphone issue please?

I’m asking as my sister has one.

Unfortunately I can’t speak to this, but I do believe that Apple is repairing some iPhone 7 microphones as of this week. She could probably take it in and they would figure out the software or do a repair.

That's not stutter, that's "ugh, my scrolling got stuck in molasses".

This one hangs at random times for no apparent reason.
