So what’s with the long delay loading old messages when scrolling back in my history?
Got a tip for us?

You will have to excuse me for having heard that before.
I think to elaborate, and explain everyone's frustration with Apple lately, is the policy of underpromising and over delivering.
Apple used to do that, but nowadays it feels the opposite. We get overpromised and delayed/broken deliveries. As much as I love Apple, it's definitely a noticeable and disappointing shift since Steve left in this regard
Artificial delay to set expectations for iCloud fetching? They anticipated releasing this a lot sooner. I don’t recall when they added that scroll back loading. It definitely seems longer than necessary if loading from a local store.
I'm not a registered developer so I won' be getting this until the Public Beta is out.
Is that you, Captain Obvious?
Beta 1 had strange slowdowns everywhere (camera, message effects) on iPhone X. Hopefully they'll get addressed early in the beta process.
There's also support for AirPlay 2 features
Where have a heard this before? Oh yeah, 11.3 beta! I would not be surprised if I have to wait for ios 12 to actually get this feature.
Improve bugs? It has squished/Eliminated 1000's of bugs since IOS 6, which was released in 2012, a year after you joined this forum. 6 years ago, a lot of bugs have been eliminated....
BTW - How did you get IOS 6 on your Iphone 8+?
haha was sarcastic man, just mimicking how some members post on here
I was thinking they should rewrite iOS using Swift as well, practice what they preach and all that. I believe Apollo and Telegram were made using Swift and they are two of the smoothest apps on the App Store. If Apple can make the entirety of iOS run as smooth as those two apps (yes, it still isn’t completely ‘smooth’, there are still stutters and frame drops littered around the OS), then that would be much welcomed because iOS hasn’t been truly smooth since iOS 6. Along with UI improvements, bug fixes and just generally fixing the mess of iOS 11 that’s all I want out of iOS 12.

My thoughts exactly. Tested Airplay 2 with iPhone 8 running 11.4 béts 2 yesterday and still doesn’t work.
Its funny that you think its gone downhill "since Steve left" but others say "iOS 10 was the best ever...". Just curious if you think iOS 10 was pretty good compared to the iOS releases from say Scott (Steve was just the guy pushing everyone).

You should read up on the announcement of the OG iPhone and all the crap they had to do to make it work on stage. They weren't even 50% sure it was even going to work and from what I read, they were pretty close to not having that event until Steve said something along the lines of lets just do it. So sometimes things work and sometimes things dont... this is one of those things that didnt work out.. Apple may have had to pull some people working on this feature to put it towards a bug fix or something else that would have been delayed had they not moved people, who knows.
In your settings, you have the option to turn it off and on. So if you want to keep your messages on just your phones SSD, you can. But if you want them in the cloud, you have that option as well
It was your post which had the answer/solution to what I thought before, people thought I was wrong but it seems to me I was right after all after reading your post, so thanks for that if that wasn't clear.
I have read up on the how much of a tight rope it was for the original iPhone demo. So you’d prefer just announce everything they’re working on and we get it when we get it?
