iOS 12 Beta 3 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[macintoshmac]

Like when you swipe to the left on a notification and select clear? I'm not seeing anything different there between iOS 12 b2 and b3.

3D Touch on the x in the Notification Centre, the Clear All popup has a different animation now.

A thing I noticed instant:

The homescreen/stock wallpaper is a lot brighter than on b2. I dont know what it is but my homescreen is not as dark as on b2.

I notice the same thing. I like it. My wallpaper is a pretty picture of the moon. It shows more detail and brightens things up.

I was wondering about all the achievements I got while it was not working if I lost them all. But they are all there.

Same here, but since it still tracked all the necessary data, I was positive that the achievements would be there at some point. I'm still a little relieved though! 🙂

Did anyone update this using iTunes? I downloaded the IPSW's and when I option click to update, it lets me choose the file and then nothing happens. Rebooted the Mac and that didn't fix it.
For a few reasons, I don't like updating OTA.

Edit:
It wouldn't work on my Mac running 10.14 beta 2 but it worked perfectly on my work PC using Windows 7.

Im having this exact same issue with my macbook air on 10.14 DB2 as well..

GPS, anyone? Still the light blue circle around everything, or is it locking on?

GPS (for me) is still not working. I was travelling home from about 15 miles away just after I updated. I turned off wifi and the phone had zero idea where I was. Worse than beta 2 (for me).

Edit: Now I seem to be acquiring satellite signals.

my GPS still isn't perfect 🙁

Bummer. Mine is definitely working on a 7+

Mine was not working right after I updated, but I just checked the Diagnostics app and I, too, have satellite acquisition. Maybe it was just the phone going through immediate post-update "stuff" that was causing the problem.

You can "Clear all notifications" on non-3D Touch devices now - confirmed on my 2017 iPad. Just long-press the X.

The start button for 3d touch timer control center is round again.

GPS isn't fixed on beta 3 on the X how can it still not be fixed 🙁

Try the solutions just a few posts up. Let us know if those work for you.

EE in the UK GPS isn't strong, might do a ipws restore and see if it helps
[doublepost=1530643225][/doublepost]the speed on the X feels a lot faster than beta 2 unlocking using faceID is so quick 🙂

What problem are you having with gps? In maps? GPS works fine to me,both in find my iPhone,find friends and in maps. Worked fine in beta 1&2 also.

The New Issues section seems kinda scary, lol. I may hold off on this one once it hits PB.

Those issues were present in beta 2 but Apple didn’t officially mention it in the release notes.

Can someone find any map changes say in the San Francisco Bay Area and compare from the old map? Just curious.

Yes the new maps are showing for San Fran area

Media types in photos no longer has a list.

Still can't get Wi-Fi Calling to work on my iPhone X on AT&T.

Anybody getting No Purchases under their name in the App Store? I've had this since Beta 2 (don't remember seeing it in Beta 1).

 

[zemaker]

FaceTime video work better in this beta?

 

[macintoshmac]

Seems like a good beta 3. It is 441MB on my 5s.

Just took the plunge on an iPhone X. Let's see how it goes.

Me too. So far, so snappy. No obvious snags, and GPS is indeed working for me (as are iMessages).

Watch App shows the Siri watch face as new

Fortnite does in fact crash on Beta 3. It didn’t work on Beta 1, then worked in Beta 2, but now it does not work on Beta 3.

Seems like Fortnite updates twice a week plus internal downloads, so they’ll be able to address fixes.

Btw just played Fortnite on my 12.b3 SE and placed 14th.

You can "Clear all notifications" on non-3D Touch devices now - confirmed on my 2017 iPad. Just long-press the X.

That’s a nice addition on the iPad. Between that, the new trackpad mode by holding the space bar, and the rumors that the new 6.1” iPhone won’t have 3D Touch at all, it seems pretty clear that Apple is beginning to wind down 3D Touch as a technology. Fine with me, as there was very little it brought to the table that couldn’t be accomplished with a long press (which we are seeing as Apple enables the features on older devices in iOS 12).
