My data usage remains the same during all betas. If there is anything wrong, then that is my fault.
I use local library and find no problem playing music when shuffle is off.
Yes on my iPad I’m uploading about 40gb or more per month over WiFi since installing iOS 11 beta. That is with analytics off, iCloud off and no other cloud / uploading of data. There is almost constant upstream activity.
Actually, in recent Mac OS X, apple changes the way capacity is calculated to 1024MB=1GB style, resulting seemingly larger available space on your device. I bet iOS 11 is configured to stay in line with this change.
Is it a case of logging out and back in to my twitter accounts to get them to work again (for sharing)?
After a few days of running this I have to say:
- Battery life is really good compared to past betas
- Performance is really smooth
BUT
- Way more UI „deaths“: Status bar has the bluetooth headphone icon stuck, lock screen music widget regulary dies on me + CC sliders
- WAY MORE lock ups. Not a single springboard reboot yet but my phone locks up for 30s-1m randomly and apps stop functioning (I launch messages and it‘s frozen, killing it doesn‘t work or hardware buttons stop responding).
Thankfully it‘s never happened when I relied on my phone for something, I hope the next beta resolves all of these issues. I, of course, send feedback reports with log files whenever a hard lock occurs (or any other issue).

This is the first of the iOS 11 betas, I've installed, and so far, I've had these experiences (iPhone 7plus, 256gb):
- Battery life is excellent - at least on par with 10.3.3, maybe even a bit better with my use
- A few resprings has happened, mostly with apps using large files (Røde Recorder has been the cause of a respring twice when handling files that were large - 1gb+)
- I've had a single reboot happen (not a respring). This happened while using data sharing to my MacBook Pro and getting a call. I had a call more a bit later, no problem. Logged it with Apple though
- A bit of lag sometimes, most noticeable when exiting multitask and trying to swipe on the homescreen, but nothing too concerning.
- 3rd party keyboard is still a mess (as it's always been). It will frequently reset to stock keyboard, and sometimes even won't change back by just pressing the globe. But as said, I had this on iOS10 and 9 too, so...

I have had no issues with CarPlay phone calls, sending or receiving.
Well ideally now, as I understand it, you’ll want to have the app downloaded and be logged into it. From there, anything you attempt to post/message can be shared via iOS’ share sheet.
Siri disappeared. “Hey Sir” is on, both Watch and iPhone don’t respond. Any help appreciated. Yes all settings are on. I’ve rebooted. Haven’t t un-paired and re-pairs Watch yet but phone should at least work. Any ideas? Beta iOS 11 v.7 Apple Watch OS 4 latest.
I dont know about you guys, but im pretty sure my iphone 7 on this beta has problems with wifi connection. I mean when Im away from home I usually turn off wifi and working only on lte. Since beta 7, wifi can turn on again by itself. It could be only me forgetting to turn it off but as I said I was surprised a few times by now, Im a bit confused. Anyone same experience?
If you turn it off from the control center, iOS 11 only temporarily disables it or something to that effect. To turn it off fully you have to turn it off in the settings menu.
So I am encountering an issue I don't see anyone posting about in this thread. Tried a search and don't see it being an issue, but I cannot change my ringer volume. The volume buttons on the side of my phone will only change the volume. I tried adjusting with all my apps closed, after a restart, etc and nothing. Headphones work fine, my speakers play things and the volume changes for media volume, but I cannot figure out this ringer issue. Anyone else run into this or have a fix? It's not the issue where the phone thinks headphones are plugged in and the speaker doesn't output anything because I can output volume from the phone's speaker.
Odd, my battery life on this beta is worse then the previous
I've had re-springs with Google Maps, for some reason this better it doesn't like it.
Omg, that is really stupid option. I can’t even imagine when would I use that feature... anyway thanks for your help
Anyone having issue activating iMessage? I don’t use a SIM in my iPhone (basically just use it like an iPod) but never had trouble activating iMessage before.
Settings > Sounds & Haptics > Ringers & Alerts
Below the volume slider, there's a switch to allow you to change ringer volume with the volume control buttons (Change with Buttons)... make sure that is ON.
It's working really well for me. Battery life and Geek Bench scores similar to when my 10.5" IPP was running iOS 10.3.3.
YMMV, but I'd give it a shot.
Are you sure? I recently moved to Windows so I can’t check but for me all the file sizes are different because of that. The last version of OS X that I used was Sierra, so it was quite recently
how is the latest beta working along with the AirPods?
Does tapping on one of the AirPods for skipping songs smooth?

have they activated the wireless charging or do you still have to pop it in the microwave
I’m asking because Significant Locations worked perfect for awhile, but stopped updating locations earlier this week. Hasn’t worked in last five days.
