Apple Seeds Second iOS 9.1 and tvOS Betas to Developers

I can't really do that without losing all of my Health and Fitness data, including my Watch settings. Apple have sort of made it incredibly difficult to clean install iOS and start fresh... Cause whatever I do I still need to restore from iCloud.

Or do you mean simply restoring via iTunes? In which case I can't do that at least until 9.1 is released because if I downgrade to 9.0, my iCloud backup won't restore.

I had severe performance and battery issues on my iPhone 5S too, but following these three advices they are now completely gone and it's smooth as hell:

1. Search for apps that are incorrectly installed. I had 3 apps that appeared darkened (like when they are waiting to be installed). I could fix two of them just by clicking them and using an option to fix them that appeared. The third one could not be fixed, so I had to uninstall it and then install it again.

2. Turn transparency OFF in accessibility settings, play a little around, then turn it ON again.

3. Turn "reduce motion" ON in accessibility settings, play a little around, then turn it OFF again.

I hope this helps.

I don't have any hung apps but I'll definitely do those second two steps, just for the sake of it. Things seem much, much better with 9.1 beta 2 but these tips can't hurt.

I don't mind having resources to be used to add more, but it should be a low priority.

That's like Chevy saying, we need to fix the 4G/LTE to get smoother streaming of video to the rear passengers for entertainment, but the transmission problem we can work on some other time. It's not a big deal that the car can't go above 40mph without grinding and locks out of reverse.

The thing is, you have no idea what the priority is. People are assuming it's all about emoji's, because that's the only visual thing. For all you know, there could be the entire Dev team working on the update, dealing with a lot of under the hood things. Things that are not instantly obvious. Think that's the point people are trying to make.

Finally, I remember when I jailbroke my iPhone like 4 years ago, it made much more sense to display the images of my contacts in this app. Even Facebook Messenger does it.

Contact photos on messages was there in iOS 8. This update gives the option to disable that feature. Guessing you misunderstood the post.

If that were true then why aren't the critical bugs fixed that I have reported with iOS 9 while it was in beta and still not fixed? Yet Emojis are??

Because maybe the bugs you deem as critical, may not be? Because maybe they're not as high up on the list? Or maybe they'll be fixed in a later beta?

Also, are you really being obtuse enough to act like emoji's are dealt with by the same people that are working on the rest of the OS? That the devs are also designing the art for the emojis? Pull the other one mate.

90% of my bug reports during iOS 9 betas were fixed by the last beta. Just because you haven't seen any fixes for your so called "critical" bugs does not mean they are not working on fixing it or they've deemed it critical to fix right away.

Although it says it's there to disable the feature, the post doesn't mention this option is not present on models prior to the iPhone 6. Are we sure about this ?

I'm pretty sure at least 15% of the bugs I submitted were critical to functionality. The rest may have been cosmetic or not expected behavior.

For iOS 9 beta I had submitted 73 bugs looking back at the app.

I'm pretty sure having:

1) your phone reboots when an incoming call comes in when you are already on a call and you ignore it

2) application crashes (Apple and third party)

3) phone shuts down at 21% battery remaining

4) iPhone drops network when switching from 4G/LTE to E and back. Restart required to use 4G/LTE again. Staying on E loses data connectivity if the phone wants to go back to higher speeds.

Are critical issues to the operation of the phone

Maybe they're issues unique to you? I've not seen people posting about those issues on the Dev forum or here. Have you also tried troubleshooting your own device to ensure the issues are persistent? Restore, clean install, DFU restore, etc?

If you're the only one facing the issue, or a small number, then your bugs might not be considered critical, as it's not widespread.
 
I hope bugs are fixed from previous version.

Apple today seeded the second beta of iOS 9.1 to registered developers for testing purposes, two weeks after seeding the first iOS 9.1 beta following its fall "Hey Siri" event and one week after releasing the first version of iOS 9 to the public.

The new beta of iOS 9.1, build 13B5119e, is available as an over-the-air update and through the Apple Developer Center. Apple has also released a second beta of tvOS, build 13T5365h.

iOS 9.1 includes new features for the iPad Pro, adding support for accessories like the Smart Keyboard and the Apple Pencil, both of which are deeply integrated into the operating system. It also includes features that will allow the iPhone to interact with the new Apple TV.

iOS 9.1 also includes Unicode 8, adding support for some long-awaited emoji like the taco, burrito, cheese wedge, middle finger, unicorn head, and more, plus it includes a new "Hey Siri" Settings feature that lets the "Hey Siri" command be customized for an individual user's voice. On-demand voice activation for Siri using the "Hey Siri" command is a new feature in the iPhone 6s and the iPhone 6s Plus. On older devices, "Hey Siri" only activates Siri when plugged into a power source.

It is not clear when iOS 9.1 will be released to the public, but it's likely it will come in November, alongside the launch of the iPad Pro.

What's new in iOS 9.1 beta 2:

Messages - There's a new Messages option in the Settings app that allows users to disable contact photos.
