Apple Seeds Second iOS 8.1 Beta to Developers

[McPc]

I've been eagerly awaiting the 8.1 update but am glad to see they are testing it.

Probably not appropriate for this particular thread...


But last night I was streaming Netflix to my iPad (iOS8) and had my iPhone (iOS8) nearby. Some audio came out of my iPad from the Netflix stream and Siri started trying to answer a non-asked question from both my iPad and iPhone!

The Netflix audio did not include "Hey Siri". Never had this before.

Had this. Were you watching the second Huger Games by any chance?

Edit: I ask because Effie says "History" in a way which sounds like someone mumbling "Hey Siri".

Bring on Apple Pay

Guess Apple Pay is coming closer than I thought ...!

From what all the news has been lately, Apple Pay has gotten the attention of many financial houses from PayPal to Square to Amazon & the garden variety credit card companies. Bring it!

So does this work on someone without UDID

 

[clunkmess]

Apple Pay works now.

Definitely hope it fixes a few annoying bugs I had:

Home screen would get stuck upside down but all apps would be right.
Keyboard disappears and does not activate unless the app is closed.

Are these bugs you had on 8.1 beta?

 

[Hexiii]

the fact its already in beta now addresses that concern.

What? The 7.1 took 5 months from the first beta, not sure what are you talking about.

So its active in this beta?

 

[Rogifan]

yeah ive noticed this. especially on AppleInsider.com, which seems to use a lot more javascript and messes w/ my ability to select text.

8 also broke the ability to long press on an image on a website and copy the url for that image. I hope that's just a bug to be fixed and isn't a feature Apple removed.

Screenshot?

Just kidding. Nothing has changed. lol

 

[utwarreng]

Hope this fixes the banner notifications sticking at the top of the screen.

 

[MacFather]

Deleted.

What service are you talking about??

My phone service. It stopped working at the 8 update, and continued not working at 8.0.2. my phone starts searching about ever 45 seconds or so.

 

[Stuke00]

So its active in this beta?

No, hes being a troll.

Status bar still overlays images you open in the messages app.

Im so surprised you guys in the US have to SIGN for stuff when you use your cards (which I see are metal which is cool!) We have had chip and pin here (UK) for ages and now have contactless payments. I guess not signing for stuff is going to be a big deal for you guys! lol

Everything is definitely a lot more refined. Pulling down notification center feels very smooth. Touch ID is faster.

I haven't figured out how to use Apple Pay

Updated from beta 1. Phone hasn't blown up yet (5S)

 

[mattburley7]

im expecting probably one more beta after this (next week on the 14th) then public release on the 20th.

There is no Apple Pay yet. People are spreading false info.

 

[se7encrows]

Hoping this fixes the Share Sheet bug where it won't remember the order you place them in.

 

[atlchamp]

feels very smooth and polished

That's a warranty issue. Bring it in. Seriously though, your first post is about something that should be painfully obvious??

Haha okay. I figured it was like that.
