Apple Seeds Seventh Beta of iOS 10 to Developers and Public Beta Testers

I filed a bug report for the removal of this feature back in beta 1 or 2 as it means that my car stereo now sees ALL my music through the USB connection and attempts to stream stuff that isn't downloaded which then chews through my data allowance. In iOS 9 the old hide music in the cloud feature meant that my car stereo only saw stuff that was downloaded but there seems to be no way to do that in iOS 10 without having to manually choose what is playing on the phone itself... not very conducive to hands free driving. I'd even be reasonably happy with a "Hey Siri, play xxxx from downloaded music" or similar as a compromise but that doesn't seem to be understood currently.

Having huge issues with this update. Its pretty much broken the phone. Can't really do anything for more than 5 minutes without the video signal breaking up, becoming unresponsive and then turning off. It even does it over the apple logo on load. Very strange indeed. Anyone else had this. Initially i thought it was when playing video content on a website but it seems to be pretty much any activity, sending a text, browsing safari, opening an app.

I know, and as another fellow poster here pointed out, this feature has been around forever.
I'm just worried about the fact that it can be used to cause trouble, that's all, and the advent of TouchID would make it easy for Apple to force the user to authenticate him/herself before taking a picture or shooting a video, therefore making it less possible to fraudulentely use the Camera.app.
The example I gave in my first comment on the subject is all too plausible: someone takes your phone without you noticing it, shoots a video of, say, two adults (hopefully...) having sex in poor lighting conditions, and leaves it on your phone.
How would you explain that to the wife/husband/boyfriend/girlfriend...?
Every smartphone has had a camera launcher shortcut since like forever, not just the iPhone. If it was that prone to abuse, we would have seen a backlash by now.
I guess my answer to you is - yes, it could potentially be used for mischief, but the odds of that happening are so low that it's probably an acceptable risk. You can't even share the photo without unlocking your phone first, so the potential for abuse is actually very low. As always, exercise caution when handling your belongings and avoid leaving them unattended.
If you are that paranoid, maybe have the habit of checking your camera roll on a regular basis to see if any unusual photos pop up? The convenience far outweighs the cons, if you ask me.
Hey, I get at least 2 hours of internet and 30 min of talk time when I use Low Power Mode!Ok, people, how's the battery life? /s
Wouldn't be as fast as they want that feature to be. This kind of thing has been around for years on all kinds of phones without much of an issue really, so it seems that the potential extremes don't appear to play a large enough of a role to warrant much consideration.
Guess no-one else is having the phone crash consistently, display signal breaks up, turns off, sits with apple logo on the screen for ages, won't turn on then needs a hard reset (power + home)
My 5s on iOS 10 is working perfectly. Everything is smooth and animations are fluid. Feels like a brand new phone all over again.
I know this is not the right place, i have ios 10 beta 7 and watch os 3 beta 6. Is anyone having problem with the notifications on the watch? Since I installed os 3 beta 6 i don't receive anything on the watch
Anyone using CarPlay with this beta? I tried it today in my Honda Accord and the music app was unresponsive and generally unusable.
Just installed the Public Beta and now it says press home to log in, but doesn't appear to be using touch ID. Anyone else with this issue?
