Apple Seeds Third Betas of iOS and iPadOS 15 to Developers
- Thread starter MacRumors
- Start date
- Sort by reaction score
Agreed, I get what they were going for, but having a dedicated button for the found link, and perhaps a list for the multiple things found would be easier to use
Maybe I’m tired but really not able to tell what’s changed.
tabs/address bar still at bottom of screen
Is it perhaps the address/search bar when the keyboard is shown that’s moved?
I like the new ui I’m used to it already.
Yes, the address bar no longer jumps to the top when opening the keyboard, which btw made no sense UI-wise.
Switching between Private and Standard tabs is now slightly easier.
Safari seems smoother (in a non-joking way). When I scroll up the floating address bar used to move the page UP and it seems that's fixed.
This is still nothing to do with iOS updates, those apps need to update their OS white list
Same thing for horizon client on macOS 12 sadly. It’s still the reason why I’m on Big Sur.
Entering URLs in Safari is vastly improved.
I tried to remove the earlier betas because that was so jacked.
Relieved that this is sorted.
I tried to remove the earlier betas because that was so jacked.
Relieved that this is sorted.
I hope this fixes the issue of Safari sometimes being non-responsive when the iPad is attached to the magic keyboard.
Maybe it’s to divide up the comment sections for MacOS, iOS, iPadOS? Not too sure but that’s my thought

After a week you’ll be okay with it. More or less for both week and ok parts.
I prefer it this way as the comment sections are more specific to each o/s.
Anyone else experiencing overheated and slow to non-existent battery charging after this update?
All HSBC bank card holders either need to transition to web portal temporarily during beta testing period or stop testing beta altogether. I hate HSBC app keeps breaking after every major release, but giving up beta testing seems to be a well winning strategy.
Was wondering that too. Thought it was 24 hours later, but I guess maybe later today or tomorrow?
