iOS 11 Beta 3 Tidbits: New TV Providers, Fixed iPad App Switcher and More

[daniesy]

You forgot a ton of new bugs that were added by this brilliant update.

 

[mrr]

Damn. I still did not see Frontier Communicaions on that list.

 

[prostetnic]

Is this new or did I miss it in the past? On T-Mobile I can see my current data, call, text usage, and billing end-date in Settings > Cellular > Usage. Don’t know about other carriers.

I don’t have the usage option in “cellular”. I’m on sunrise in Switzerland

Ugh...still a 3 second delay when drawing with Apple Pencil and resting palm on the screen...jeez I hope they spot that...or see this.

You should feed it back and not rely on them to spot it.

iCloud Messages doesn't sync your iMessages, it syncs all of your messages, iMessages, SMS and MMS alike!

Until the 3D Touch app switcher comes back I'm staying with iOS 10.

3D App Switcher is back in Beta 3

Tell them about it yourself - that is what the Feedback app is for...

The broken automated audio source/iPod controls in iOS have apparently taken a backseat to everything else. *tear*

I did, in beta 1 and 2, I filled out the feedback bug report twice..even called the call centre to let them know. Haha. She said they only deal with the current released version...fair enough...she was nice.

Beta. It's a beta.

I did, on beta 1 and 2

You can force touch on the very top X to clear notifications and you'll get a "Clear All" prompt

This is a bit confusing for ppl. After doing some more research online. What you say is true, sort of. You can pull up your old notifications it seems and from there, there is a way to get clear all prompt. On the other hand if you have multiple new notifications come in at once on your lock screen and want to dismiss them at once. There is no way to do that.

 

[hagar]

Needs a clear all for notifications and also apps to.

"A clear all" for apps? What's that? Are you force killing apps all the time? You do know Apple clearly states you don't need to do that.

This night, airplane mode in 53% at the 23h, this morning at the 6:30h 23% of battery
[doublepost=1499754627][/doublepost]

Same battery drain, this night in 7 hours 25% less

So what? That's perfectly normal with all debugging code turned on. It's a beta to hunt for bugs and report them to Apple. Battery and performance optimisations come right before the final release.
[doublepost=1499763371][/doublepost]

Yawn. Is this the best A can do?

What do you expect? iOS 12? There won't be any new features, only some fine tuning. Even that hideous new control panel is here to stay.

(And off course this fall the mandatory features exclusive for iPhone 8)

 

[Pufichek]

The third developer beta of iOS 11 seems nice on my iPad Pro 10.5.

But I don't see Dropbox added in the Files App. Am I alone in this?

 

[verpeiler]

They don't have an endgame for Notification Center, and they never have. Every single major release of iOS has changed Notification Center in one way or another. iOS is literally the worst when it comes to handling notifications.

True. If Android does one thing better than iOS it's notifications... They're awesome since marshmallow and even better with nougat.

 

[Stenar]

Does this fix the charging bug?

 

[Bacillus]

Beta. It's a beta.

No, he states it's an alpha, packaged as beta.

 

[Superhai]

But I don't see Dropbox added in the Files App. Am I alone in this?

You need to edit to add it. I also have Amazon Drive included.

 

[kaiseryeahhh]

I just installed the beta from 0 without loading copy, and when I get into appstore I do not get even a purchase made.
I downloaded an app that I bought (free with inapp purchases) and if that has let me restore purchases.
Anyone else with this problem?

I got use to the Beta 2 Notification Centre, it was definitely cleaner than what it is in Beta 3. I’m also not a fan of the Beta 3 App Switcher on iPad, you can no longer swipe down to close out of it. You can only close out by using the Home button!

 

[chrisgolds]

I can't even get my software update to recognise that there has been a new update released.

 

[rotkiv3451]

I wish apple would add a way to access spotlight without having to swipe to the widgets area in notification center.

 

[Eddystud]

Finally, double tap for Airpods is working. go to General>Bluetooth> Airpods info> and bam change the settings. double tap to change tracks instead of siri.

Xinfity single sign on coming?

I guarandamntee it's not.

This would require work by each provider that wants to integrate with Apple's proprietary SSO framework-- Apple can't simply add providers by themselves.

Apple is probably exposing the new providers in the list and delivering the error message as a way to "encourage" the providers to do the work to support Apple SSO.

I believe (but not 100% sure) that iOS 11 enables an alternative approach which enables each provider to use their own login page rather than Apple's XML template; and therefore more flexible than apple's current iOS10 requirement of username/password only.
[doublepost=1499777843][/doublepost]

It seems iOS is using some sort of workaround to support a pseudo "Single Sign On".
If this is true, it may work for other providers reported above as not working.

It's possible that if you've already previously signed in to an app using Adobe Primetime (and most of them are), Adobe may be passing that authentication token on to Apple...

Dear gawd, despite doing a clean install, the iOS11 beta is the buggiest beta I've experienced. Even the traditional features are broken. Can't wait for this OS to be repaired.

Changing subject... has anyone noticed that the icons are smaller?

Is this new or did I miss it in the past? On T-Mobile I can see my current data, call, text usage, and billing end-date in Settings > Cellular > Usage. Don’t know about other carriers.

Must be new as of the v.3 beta. I'm still on v.1 and there's no sign of a Usage menu.
