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

[cmaier]

Can anyone with Beta 1 check if Carplay with Waze/Google Maps apps is active in this beta or not ?

That would definitely require the app maker to create a new version of the app. Apps can't magically become CarPlay compatible without extensive coding.

Is it safe to install? Should I go for it? Is downgrading easy?

Knowing you, I'd say to hold off. Nothing is ever good enough for you.

It’s obviously VERY early days, but definitely does feel smooth. Lol.

It actually does!

I assume they will need to update their apps. It’ll be a while.

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

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.

DO let us know about the home button.

Home button really fast. Instant unlock with Touch ID on iPhone 7. Battery seams good, but to early to conclude yet.

Maybe stupid question - but how the hell do you open the control centre on an iPad now ?

Swipe all the way up from the bottom past bringing up the dock

Depends on what you mean by safe, i mean, it's not going to make your phone explode, but it's going to make a lot of things very inconvenient. Really a personal matter. Yes, but you might lose a lot of data.

I have it installed. My device seems to be working fine so far. I tested the few apps that I use on a daily basis. I haven’t really noticed any visual changes on my device.

So it's like any other beta that offers public ones: the first release is dev only. Late june is in 2 weeks, which is when beta 2 should drop and the first public beta. Nothing to see here really, Apple is just following protocol by not letting public guys jump onto a "not yet mass-tested for critical issues" beta.

Yeah, just check the Bug Report... there’s a ton of stuff that’s broken that, depending on where you are, carrier, etc., can really cause problems - this release isn’t for the public, and definitely should not be used on any of your daily devices. Patience. Public beta will be out the last week in June, likely. Then everyone can chime in on how much smoother iOS 11.4.1 was in comparison

A message to all of you who seem to desperate for a profile:

Don't install this on your main devices. You will suffer greatly. I'm using it on a test iPad and have already run into glaring issues, though I'm glad to report performance isn't one of them this time.

You able to post the home screen wallpaper by any chance?

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

 

[penajmz]

New mini player on lock screen

 

[Tmelon]

Could someone who set up their device as new post the default home screen layout for the first and second page?

I don't think that's what they meant lol

Looks like they brought iPhone X style gestures to the iPad. You need to swipe down from top right corner now for control panel, and can swipe up from the bottom to go home in addition to pressing the home button.

They also shifted the time to the left, added the date, and put wifi status, battery, etc. on the right.

Sign of iPad redesign to come?

So are control center and multitasking back to being separate screens after being unified in iOS 11? How do you enter multitasking if swiping up on the dock takes you home now? Is it drag up half way and hold like on the iPhone X?

I don’t like the sound of these changes but I’ll try to reserve judgement until I use it for myself. Is there anyway to turn these new gestures off or are we stuck with them?

We know what it looks like we want the image to set our own backgrounds as that... lol
