Apple Seeds Sixth Beta of iOS 11 to Developers [Update: Public Beta Too]

[shawnforever]

Is battery life improved?

I've been getting 45 minutes (48 minutes standby) on an iPhone 6. I want to downgrade so bad.

 

[dilute37]

Ok. Is anyone else still unable to access their forward facing camera or flash? I have had issues accessing in earlier betas. But now it never works.

Anyone tried Maps in CarPlay in this latest version? I just updated and won’t have a chance to use it with navigation until the morning. The last few betas Apple has been changing it up quite a bit. Curious to what I may be in for in the morning.

I knew it! Just a feeling and I bet this will be the last one until public release.

Far from it. We will continue to receive weekly or biweekly updates until golden master, which is released the same day as the announcement.

Pressing "signifcant locations" now requires touch id to see what used to be frequent locations. Interesting.

That is one seriously butt ugly App Store icon.

By pressing the 3D Touch in the control center, the phone get restarting

Actu?

That new App Store icon... like what the actual f***?

 

[HoosBruce]

Apple has fixed the two bugs I reported from the last beta. I’m sure others had those issues as well and reported feedback as well. Feels good to have those annoyances gone!

That’s been the case for a good while now. It’s not specific to this last update.

 

[csurfr]

Every time I attempt to forward a message in mail, the app crashes. Doesn’t matter if I include attachments or not.

 

[DavidReevesATL]

Ha! Love that the new maps icon reflects the new main campus location.

 

[pdaholic]

The new App Store looks so different from the other icons. The shadowing gives it a little 3D effect. Guess we’re moving away from “flat” interfaces?!?

 

[bchreng]

Skimmed through the thread and didn't see an answer to this. Has there been any improvement to the portrait mode photos on the 7+?

 

[berrymetal]

Yeah, but you're special; That doesn't count. We just need to know when regular people are installing it, like me.

PS - it is installing for me now. Woo Hoo!

I'm really so happy for you!

Auto brightness in accessibility settings now

Quite a few of the issues mentioned in this thread are discussed and fixed/worked around here:

E.g.

- Can't find auto display brightness
- Phone crashes on 3D touch on control centre
- Why is Siri so repetitive

Has anyone else noticed their Apple Music library is now suddenly empty and it's impossible to add tunes to it?

What does "actu" mean?

iOS 11.0b6 still has the UIKit controller issue, first introduced in b3, fixed in b4, re-introduced in b5, still present in b6. Not even close to GM

We can hope Apple will turn that controller thing on in GM. In beta, they can intentionally turn off certain features for bug testing purposes.

Thanks. I actually couldn't find the "Display Accommodations" menu on the previous screen.

In French, mine says "Adapter l'affichage" ..... "Non"

The "Non" threw me, because it didn't look like a sub-menu. I'm not sure what the "Non" is referring to, since there are four settings in the sub-menu.

That “Non” I think is equivalent to “off”, which means no display accomodation is applied on the display.

Maps icon: Great!
App Store icon: One of the worst I've seen in stock iOS!

A byproduct of a failed mspaint class in Apple campus.

I’ll authorise the release notes,thanks

What do the numbers in the brackets indicate?

Can you indicate what are the bugs fixed?
My bug- new mail notifications not generated for mails received in favorited folders, still continues unfixed since beta 1.

Yes, on beta 5 the battery life on my iPhone 7+ sucked and now i can definitely say that is not an issue.

 

[tobyringle69]

For the music app, still no support for streaming to multiple speakers as indicated in promotions?

 

[jhfenton]

That “Non” I think is equivalent to “off”, which means no display accomodation is applied on the display.

I understand what the word means. I just think it's odd to have a sub-menu with four settings and a "Oui/On", "Non/Off" label that represents whether any of three of the four settings is turned on. The other sub-menus with a similar label have a master toggle, possibly with some settings to fine-tune.

If I had to guess, they're being paternalistic and trying to hide the "Auto Brightness"/"Réglage Automatique" because we're "using it wrong." (I find the Auto Brightness typically sets the screen a bit dimmer than I prefer, so I keep it off most of the time.)

In older versions the Bluetooth indicator, right on top, was gray if there was no Bluetooth connection. Now in this beta and te last one, the Bluetooth sign stays white, allthough there is no connection. Anyone else? Ik have made a feedback.
