Does anyone not from the US know where the Video-app went? I just noticed my Video-app wasn't there anymore?

I think the videos app changed to TV but This hasn’t been confirmed. There was an article posted about this happening to some people when they updated so Apple could be testing it outside the US.
 
when setting up the iPad after a reset you have the option to touch another iOS device to it to automatically setup your iCloud account. ooh.

Well, had a good blast on my 12” iPad Pro. Pretty slick but quite a few bugs, which is understandable. One thing is making me go back to 10 though, touching the top of the page in Safari doesn’t scroll you back to the top. It’s doing my nut in, so back to 10 I go.

Works fine for me on an iPad Mini 4.. though it seems the touch area is smaller, have to pretty much touch the time at the top

I have had multitasking split screen on my S7 and I can tell you it isn't very useful. Sometimes I load a video, but then there isn't enough room to really do anything. Even chrome feels crowded.

I can see it not being very useful on the S7, but still a great multi-tasking tool!

Now, on the S7 edge, all Note devices, S8/S8+ (and similar sized Android devices) split screen is extremely useful imo.

Can someone confirm if they fixed one of the most annoying things in messages, the duplication of threads when one of your contacts appears twice in your list because you are communicating with him on his mobile number and iCloud email. Thx

So do 32 bit apps work?
Click to expand...

I don't have any 32 bit apps, but the release notes don't specify that they are dead in THIS beta, but the notes do say:

Deprecations

• 32-bit apps will not run on future betas of iOS 11. (26402174)

So, for all intents... they are dead

It looks like there's some good changes and not as good changes, just like every iOS release.

Some things I've noticed on my iPhone SE:

Tweaked app opening/closing animation.

New (old) signal bars.

Home Screen doesn't show in App Switcher. Makes it easier to close apps.

Can't activate iCloud Messages yet; the switch is greyed out.

Weirdly large-lettered titles in some apps. Like in Messages the top of the page says Messages in huge letters. I know I'm in Messages, that's why I opened the Messages app 🙄. Same for the Settings app and Bookmarks in Safari.

New notification center will take getting used to. I feel like it should be blurred.

There is no volume UI.

Calculator app is redesigned with round buttons. Icon is changed also.

There's an Emergency SOS tab in Settings. It lets you toggle between auto-call or slide-to-call when you click the lock button 5 times.

The new App Store is... not amazing. The entire UI feels like it's zoomed in a bit too far, especially the Today page. Also, there is no way to search through purchased apps.

Safari now scrolls like all the other iOS apps! No more swiping through molasses yay!

There's a shutdown button below Reset in Settings. Interesting.

Control Center. ...Um wat? I kinda get what they're going for, but for goodness' sake make it more symmetrical.
I can only customize the bottom row of icons, nothing else. It's a start though. 🙂

You can long-press on Control Center buttons if you don't have 3D-touch.

Screen recording is accessible from Control Center and is super cool.

Button Shapes in Accessibility now underlines button text instead of making that big grey outline thing.

New Smart Invert colors option in Settings attempts to *not* invert colors of photos, but does turn my dock blue.

Files app is useless for me right now 'cause I have no files to file.

Music is the same as it's been. I use Cesium instead.

Nope, gone. Just a HomeKit button.

Nope, you are wrong. You will have the ability to add controls.

From Apple:
Control Center.
Make it your own.
iOS 11 lets you customize the redesigned Control Center so you can change the settings for the things you do most. Want to be ready when inspiration hits? Add a Voice Memos control. Want to dim the lights in the dining room with a tap? Add Home controls. Or use 3D Touch in Control Center to unlock even more commands.

the one thing I was hoping for in control center was to be able to 3D push on WiFi Or BT and have them list the available devices to connect to (and showing devices you are connected to, to disconnect from) I feel like I'm in Settings all the time.

Recommend it as a feature. Probably something they could do still since we're months away, and if not in the GM 11.0 release maybe 11.1 or 11.2?
