Is anyone experiencing the reopening of apps after you close them out and press the home button or tap the screen to get to the home screen? It's extremely annoying!!!
Got a tip for us?

Well, I can tell you this: Apps don't close with any regularity, you try to close them and they just open right back up.
I attempted to restore my iPhone 7 Plus to 10.3.2 and now it's stuck in recovery mode. . . even a restore with DFU won't fix it. Bricked as far as I can tell. Time to go to Apple before they close.
Cars have had wheels forever, where's the innovation?!?!?
I think it’s a great idea. Maybe you should let Apple know instead of just wait and hope Apple will think of it.

Apple this afternoon seeded the second beta of iOS 11 to developers, with the update coming as something of a surprise because betas normally come on Monday or Tuesday mornings.
iOS 11 beta 2 introduces a very long list of bug fixes to address issues that were discovered in the first beta of iOS 11, and registered developers should read over the extensive release notes to get an idea of what's been fixed.
The update also introduces many new bugs and highlights many known issues, such as an unexpected pop when restarting an iPhone 7/7 Plus or an SOS notification that goes out even when an alert is cancelled, so this is still not a stable beta and it should only be installed on secondary devices.
Along with fixing bugs and introducing new ones, there are some small feature tweaks and changes that are included in iOS 11, which we've outlined in the video below.
- Dock - Show Recents - There's a new option under General --> Multitasking that allows you to change the Dock settings on the iPad to disable the "Show Recents" option that displays your most recently used apps on the dock. With this disabled, only apps that you have added to the dock will show up.Subscribe to the MacRumors YouTube channel for more videos.
- Do Not Disturb While Driving - There are now new Do Not Disturb While Driving options available in the Settings app and Do Not Disturb While Driving is enabled in this beta.
- Dictation - Support for Hindi Dictation has been added in beta 2 according to Apple's beta release notes.
- Control Center - There's a new option to disable Control Center within apps, preventing it from coming up when you swipe upwards. This option leaves Control center accessible from the Home screen. Bluetooth in Control Center works like the Wi-Fi option, disconnecting from whatever's connected rather than toggling it off.
- Safari - In the Settings app in the Safari section under Advanced, there's a new option to turn on experimental features like Constant Properties, CSS Spring Animations, WebGPU, Web Animations, and more.
- Files app - There's a new "Save to Files" Share Sheet option for saving photos, documents, and other files to the Files app. When using "Save to Files" a menu pops up that allows you to choose a location. Save to Files replaces Add to iCloud Drive.
Legacy document providers like OneDrive, Box, PDF Expert, and other apps are also now showing up as Locations in the Files app, but aren't using the new iOS 11 file extensions yet.
- Lock Screen - There's a new blur animation when pulling down from the top of the device to bring up the Lock Screen/Notification Center or when pulling up to access the Home screen again.
iOS 11 is currently only available to developers, but Apple has said it will make a version of the update available to public beta testers at the end of June, which is next week. We're expecting several more betas, and will likely see additional feature tweaks and changes ahead of the software's public release in the fall.

Safari on the 4.7 inch now has tabs like the 7plus also news is now set up with a plus like landscape mode.
Does the new Save to Files share sheet still bring up an expanded view of all your folders, like the Save to iCloud Drive option does now?
Not sure if Facebook update or beta 2, but hitting Like on a post now fires the taptic engine so hard it has an audible metallic click (even on mute).
Edit: It also does the same loud click with on/off toggles in the OS. Anyone else get this?

Exactly same thing happening to me,every time i try to close apps it reopens. it's annoying
Then you come up with a better design and sell it. I like the most used apps on my screen when I unlock my phone thank you.
My 7 plus is officially dead after running the beta today. They took it in and have to send it to the repair depot to verify the serial number. Apple's serial number reader won't even get a response from it.
I'm typing this on a gold iPhone 6 loaner. The horror. I can't even setup iCloud until I get home because of two factor authentication.

You're right. It was there on mine as well, though playing a video full screen looked damn good. The UI was very nice.
No, it’s hierarchical and drill down now. One of my biggest gripes is coming to a close!
Favorites and 3rd party storage doesn’t show yet, but it will.
I wouldn’t bother arguing with a post like that, it’s just asking for attention. If anyone actually believed the only thing that had changed was the wallpaper, they haven’t used it from the beginning.
I’m with you though, I like how the home screen is laid out, I don’t want that messing with. It’s one of those simplicity and consistency things I like about iOS. Add new features, maintain the core experience, or don’t fix what isn’t broken if you prefer

I’ve been studiously trying to ignore several “This developer preview bricked* my phone! Doesn’t Apple test this!? This wouldn’t happen if Steve were alive!” Type posts. There are no
large enough.*They’re probably not even bricked.
Why change a working design? Are you saying the same thing about Android that has had the same desktop+app drawer metaphor for basically the entire time it has existed?
