Apple Seeds Sixth Beta of iOS 11.2.5 to Developers and Public Beta Testers [Updated]

GermanSuplex said:
From a software point of view it may not be a minor feature, but certainly - at least to me from a user-standpoint - it seems like one. I understand the argument, but did they really need to announce this 7 months out with no timetable for release? Not to mention that the messages app has increasingly been the largest focused-on app during keynotes, so I'm just surprised that it hasn't even popped up in any betas yet.

Next beta version, as in 11.3 or 11.2.6 although I doubt the last will.

That wouldn't really be expected in a bug fix update. That aside, it's a feature that Apple wanted to have in iOS 11 and hopefully is still working on making that happen. We don't quite know what the hold up might be about as there could be all kinds of things in relation to it. Certainly doesn't appear to be a "relatively minor feature".

11.3 would have it as that would be a feature update.
 
For some reason my beta profile disappeared but after re-adding it I then was able to make the jump from beta 4 (don't know how I missed 5) and then after a quick 1.7+ GB download I now have it. Looks like some animations when it comes to loading an app are ever so slightly faster for me now with my 8. They were pretty quick before already, but now they feel every so slightly quicker. I approve!

So that’s why I wasn’t getting the update! I would have never thought that the beta profile would disappear like that, so thanks for the heads up on that.

I hope this fixes battery drain as well as the multitasking glitches like apps appearing nearly invisible. There's another bug that shows the battery of my fully charged 7 plus at 1% before displaying 100% when I turn it on after it being off. While iOS 11 has been a nice, fresh change and has lots of features I like, the fact is that it has a lot of problems. I hope they can fix it before the release of iOS 12. I don't know what is going on at Apple. iOS 10.3.3 was a perfectly stable OS. I regret updating my 7 plus but I had no choice if I wanted to use the latest versions of some apps.

I'm confused this article says 11.2.5 "introduces" the siri news feature, but then later admits it already exists for users of 11.2.2. So this isn't semantics but rather false information. Where it should really say is 11.2.5 doesn't remove the previously added feature of siri news. I imagine since the article makes no reference to any new features, they wanted to mentioned something other than 11.2.5 beta released, but please don't make false statemens. 11.2.5 no way "introduces" this existing feature. Please correct.

Actually I believe Apple turned it on 1st for the 11.2.5 beta. Then yesterday turned it on for everyone else. So technically when this article was posted that was correct information.
 
I’ve had issues with my phone reconnecting to wifi / cellular after being in a dead zone in the last few betas, often forcing me to turn off/on the radios. Hopefully this is ironed out by release.

Hopefully this is the last one. I'm ready for some non beta stability on my iPhone.

My X has been pretty stable for months now.

Frequent updates haven't been impacting my stability, but it's good to know edge-case issues are being patched up.

Still no iCloud messages feature. Why announce a relatively minor feature seven months away... and counting.

Forget that coming out in iOS 11. It was removed from the iOS 11 page for a reason. It was scrapped for sure.

Removed from what page? I believe there was a discussion about that in one of the threads and it doesn't seem like there was ever really any mention of it anywhere other than WWDC.

No, it was definitely on the iOS 11 page right after WWDC.
