Apple Seeds Sixth Betas of iOS and iPadOS 15 to Developers

[Vasilisxd]

Live text in photos is still unavailable since beta 5. Anyone else ?

Yuck. What a mess. Apple used to have more balls to implement design changes that in the long run, worked out once people got used to them. While this is a Beta and they needed to polish things up a bit, I really did love the floating bottom address bar. It was getting better at intelligently getting out of the way when appropriate and I liked the swipe gestures it came with. Hopefully it’s still an option.

Yeah, I think it's actually on be default still. You have to go into the settings to turn on the older top address bar. So it seems they are just giving people the option to go with the new bottom floating bar or the top.

Been working fine for me from day 1. Just tried it on beta 6 and still no problems.

Works for me in iPadOS beta 5. Just tried it on a screenshot now.

Doesnt look that way. The floating bar is dead. It’s now just an old version of the UI with an address bar bolted on.
Having a fixed UI on the bottom isn’t the reason why the floating bar was great.

How are people using the betas finding the stability at this stage? I normally put the public beta on at least one device in the weeks leading up to release.

Beta 5 fixed a lot of battery and stability issues for me, but broke safari video. High hopes for beta 6!

Apple could’ve just copy the slide over code on iPad and apply it on iPhone and there’d be far fewer complaints. Now there are feature disparities between iPadOS and iOS and macOS. Apple surely is the biggest violator of their OWN STRICT UI design guidelines.

Interesting as live text doesn't work whatsoever in iPadOS Beta 5 on my 12.9 iPad Pro 2021 model. Works great on my 12 Pro Max though with beta 5.

Hopefully beta 6 fixes that for me. Stability wise though my iPad, iPhone and Watch it's been rock solid. The OS hasn't given me any issues, my apps have been great and battery life has been absolutely fine.

For a daily driver I'm loving 15 and WatchOS 8. Focus mode alone is worth it. Plus on the watch notifications are much snappier as it shows the content far faster.

I hope they fixed Podcasts downloading. All previous betas of iOS 15 would not complete the podcasts download.
I had to download a couple of times in order to complete the download.

It’s been incredibly stable even compared to older iOS 13/14 betas. Running it on my 12 Pro and it’s mostly solid.

It seems they did fix the download bug in Podcasts. Finally! After many reports.

 

[chakraj]

I wonder why I still can’t download these betas on 5G? I have allow more data enabled and it’s only like a 850MB file but it still requires Wi-Fi?

Since beta 5 it works when I set English as system language. But when I set it to my native it doesn’t

 

[brilliantthings]

Universal Control?

Ah it’s ok now , I got into Language change settings and there is a toggle there that allows me on my native language to enable live text.

iPadOS15Beta5 has crashed my M1 12.9 three times this week. Not advised.

 

[Wildkraut]

Moving development priorities to things that matters could have helped here, instead of CSAM.

 

[PBG4 Dude]

Universal Control?

That’s comes with the CSAM update.

 

[ralphyman]

Do you also have an empty media player playing nothing in the Lock Screen? (All apps are closed)

 

[brilliantthings]

Universal Control?

The silence sounds like "not yet"

 

[PBG4 Dude]

They removed features that were in beta 5 (SharePlay) so it doesn’t seem they are ready to add new features yet. Maybe they’re all focused “on the children” right now.

Did anyone else's iMessages all disappear after this update? one minute there, i rebooted my phone for something else, and upon returning to iMessages, it was almost empty. save 4 favorites.
