iOS 12 Beta 1 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[tdar]

thanks guys. I forgot to ask about outlook mobile and skype for business if anyone sues that. Company recently migrated to office 365 so kinda need those 2. I figure quite a few people probably have outlook installed but less likely for skype for business

Both seem to be working.

Made the install on my iPad, gonna make the giant leap to my iPhone X.

End of the road for Series 0. I must say 3 years of support is a tad less for the Watch

This should get better over time. Look at iOS 12 supporting all the way back to the 5s!

Skype for Business works fine, but as others have pointed out, the standard Skype app crashes at launch

Wow, guessing the rumors that this was just a 'bug fix release for iOS11' were not exactly correct. Several new features and a TON of bugs in the initial beta listed. Before I get flamed, I know its beta, the point being if this was just a fix to iOS 11 chaos, then I would not expect such an extensive 'whats broken' list. So clearly this is a normal iOS release.

Try swiping down from top right of screen?

Oh thank you! This will probably annoy non-X users but the inconsistency of this going from my iPhone X to iPad Pro is always annoying.

FYI: Skype is crashing on launch

This is a known issue in the release notes.

Anyone have 4 dots on the status bar next to the WiFi and battery indicator? If so, what is that?

Some from an iPhone 7 - actually seems to be pretty smooth for a first beta (so far!)

Automatic updates under software updates seems to be new too.

Ahh, so they didn't make this change on the iPhone.

This is good, as space is already limited on the screen and there's no need to take away information!

Stocks Widget got unnecessary gross huge graphics

This is apparently the cellular strength indicator, and I'm betting its presence on non-cellular iPads is a bug.

Would you expect Beta 1 of a major OS release to not have bugs? iOS 12 is clearly a housekeeping release, but it's still a Beta 1.

OH NOOO! Something isn’t working perfect on a Beta again :|

New status bar layout on iPad

EDIT: Better screenshot

I wonder how they will deal with the notch on iPad? Or will the bezels still be wide enough it won’t matter? Also if they’re bringing FaceID to iPad it needs to work when iPad is laying flat on a surface. If you have to hover over your iPad to unlock it that will suck.

WOW! Performance is incredible. Even on my 8 Plus!

Skype is broken across all devices

Bahahahaha...... Of course it is.

The question is, if I update my iPhone to iOS 12 beta 1 can I use the S0 with watchOS 4.3 with it?
I know that I can not update to watchOS 5.

I would like to know that too !

 

[f12003_ga]

Where are the list of apps not working and working? Thanks

 

[snow755]

how is the new ios 12 control center did it get a new look or is it still the same mess that it was on IOS 11? and can i may be see a screen shot

 

[axari]

Is anyone updated iOS 12 in older devices like 5s and SE? Please tell me how's the performance?

 

[macduke]

Here ya go! Had to mark it to get it small enough to upload here. Lol

That new wallpaper is hideous!

The fact Apple has listed them all and they all have bug numbers means Apple is already working on them, possibly already fixed in house but didn't deem them important enough to block the first developer beta.

Can anyone compare it to iOS 11.4/11.4.1?
Are there any performance improvements already?
