For those of you having notification issues, try resetting your watch (no need to un-pair and re-pair it). I did that and everything has been working fine. I get iMessage, email and other app notifications just fine.

Even third party app like, I don't know, Facebook, Twitter or anything? Because it is known that iMessage and Mail notifications are not affected by this bug.
What do you mean by "resetting" ? Simple restart, factory reset or what?

It might depend on what bug you're talking about. I'm getting the bug with pretty much all notifications. The Apple Watch bug that I've been getting is where both the phone and the watch are getting the same notifications. Usually only the phone gets the notification or just the watch gets the notification, but on beta 4, both the watch and the phone are getting all of the notifications.

Much improved from the other betas.
 
I'm probably just late to the party, but when did Apple remove the "last 7 days" of battery usage from the battery settings?

I now only see the last 24hrs.

Which model of iPhone? Are you always using low power mode?

Yesterday I got 7h15 of usage on my iPhone 6, with mixed usage (Tweetbot, Youtube, messages, stuff like that) over both Wi-Fi and 4G (sometimes low signal), and low power mode from 20 to 1%, which seems OK for me.

Same here, but I think it's only because the installation of the beta wiped the history. It should be back after one week of use.
 
Night Shift -- is it my eyes adjusting or did Apple tweak it so at max it's not as yellow as previous builds? I had my settings a little right of center which gave a nice yellowish tinge. When I updated that same setting seems much more blueish. I had to move the setting all the way to max to get yellow back. Just curious if anyone else has seen the same on their iPad.

iPhone 6 Plus and yesterday, to expand the battery life the most, yes I used LPM the entire time.

I hadn't noticed it, but I kept my yellow levels slightly decreased to begin with. The default yellow was simply too yellow for me.

Yeah it will return in a few days. I am now showing last 24 and past 2 days options. It had disappeared right after the update.

For those who want to downgrade to 9.3 beta 3 because the notifications on the watch are broken:

For public beta 3 here are the .ipsw download links: https://ghostbin.com/paste/77ah2

Tutorial on how to downgrade (for downgrading from ios 9 to 8.3, but workings are the same) http://www.redmondpie.com/downgrade-ios-9-beta-to-ios-8.3-8.4-heres-how-tutorial/

Just did this, restoring now.

does this work ??? tried going back to 9.2.1 via the 9.2.1 ipsw file but ended up back at 9.3 beta 4 to get data back :(

edit ...

just tried this and it works :) back to beta 3 now with watch notifications working as they should.

one odd thing i noticed however ... messages were being notified on watch all the time, even when phone was unlocked, but after a quick reboot of the phone this seems to be working ok now

Yeah Apple Watch notifications for anything that doesn't work when your iPhone is off and Watch is on wifi are mad broken.

Report it in Feedback and hopefully they'll push a new beta soon.

does this need to be done on pc/macbook the?

Yeah, needs to be done via iTunes, someone posted that internet explorer will download the file as a zip, but that might depend on your settings in Windows

I've got the missing clock bug back but I can live with that one
 
I was thinking that it might be something to do with Bluetooth. I use Bluetooth in my car and with headphones. My headphones support AAC, so they should be able to stream an Apple Music file directly. I got a reply to my ticket in the Feedback assistant that some bluetooth issues were resolved with bluetooth switching and they wanted me to confirm that it was working, so I thought that it might be related. (the issue was something else, but under the subject of Bluetooth)

The previous week I thought that the iPhone music just sounded muffled, but after the beta 4 update, a lot of music has been sounding better. Happy to hear that someone else noticed the improvement as well!


How is beta 5 sounding to you? Mine seemed to revert back to the quality prior to beta 4. All anecdotal though. All my music on beta 4 sounded better over my cars Bluetooth. For the record I'm not an audio professional, but I do love quality sound.
