iPhone iOS 13 Beta 2 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[uniquexoxo]

I get the feeling the phones and ipads just keep writing logs and diag files until they fill up when on dev betas. You could sync to iTunes/Finder which will, after a successful sync, delete all those logs (ready to fill up again).

I've only got a 16GB iPhone but an even smaller 5GB iCloud and the above worked for me.

How do you live with 16GB? I’m barely living on 64GB. My photos is 8GB, my songs are 15GB

I'm sure people are getting tired of these questions... First time beta user here.

What happens, or what do we do when the official iOS 13 rolls out in Sept.? Do the beta updates stop and we get the official?

Before it comes out, the release version will be pushed to all beta phones, because the final beta is the release version. It’s the GM, as to what we call it.

Sn: Loving this low data mode when using Hotspot! iPad just notified me connected to my iPhone

Are Siri suggestions in Spotlight search new? The beta is running very smoothly.

 

[Chazzle]

Anyone running the Beta on an iPhone 7?

Yes.

Portrait mode seems to be a bit laggy.

Portrait mode seems to be a bit laggy.

It also seems to require you to be farther away from your subject than in iOS 12

I use portrait mode a lot. Other than that lag issue and the 3D Touch on the home screen being awkward... iOS 13 pb1 has been awesome.

I don't use my iPhone as a music player. I download all my photos to my laptop ("referenced" so not in the library). However, the phone can hold a few hundred if necessary with "optimise" turned on.

I'm still happily using my 6S, although when I decide to upgrade it'll obviously come with more than 16GB!

. . . I used to be able to say on the Watch, ‘Add XXXX to my Shopping List” and it would.

Since the iOS 13 PB1 update the Watch tells me I have no Shopping List.

If I add it on the iPhone though, it instantly appears on the Watch.

It looks like this may be a change to the required phrasing in iOS 13 PB1.

If I now say ‘Add XXXX to my Shopping Reminders” from the Watch, it seems to work.

Hi!

I've tried to set up a shortcut using the "Get Podcasts from library" + the "Chosse from list action" action, which should prompt me a list of my podcast. However, it does not return anything. Am I missing something? Is it working for you on this beta? Thanks in advance.

This is the one I made as a podcast picker.

One thing I’ve noticed is I cannot update apps, just continually spins but nothing happens.
BUT, I can download apps. For example, I purchased Halide on my iPad Pro (still on iOS 12something). Then I wanted to add to my phone (13 db2) and it downloaded and runs fine.

This was an issue for some folks in beta 1, the solution was to log out in the App store, force close the app, reboot, then log back in and try again... I haven't seen anyone complain about it in beta 2 though so that's odd.

Is it just me or in iOS 13 did the swipe keyboard more accurate than standard typing? I seem to have more difficulty spelling correctly in iOS 13 than in 12

Anyone else having a problem with Google Play Music? Did the upgrade, even redownloaded the app, looks like Apple put an end to that haha. Playing anything gives you the "Can't play right now. Try again later" error.

Same.

So happy I switched to Spotify.

I'm seeing this issue too. It appears to be a bug in Google Play Music in iOS 13.
The workaround is go into the app's settings and select "Reset application data"

It will start working again until the next time it happens. Repeat the step.

I've filed a bug report on it.

I’ll try that and see what happens. Thanks!

On that note, I wonder what would happen if you've upgraded reminders, then use .ipsws to revert all your devices back to 12.x/Mojave?

And no, I'm not going to try, either.
[doublepost=1561464924][/doublepost]I'm concerned. I haven't gotten an iOS popup asking about giving Facebook bluetooth access.

The reminders upgrade is a one way street.

Besides some occasional lag and graphical glitches here and there.. I'm very impressed with this beta! It's honestly running great so far.

I'm getting the Messages notification sound when a message comes into a thread I'm currently browsing rather than the subtle "whoop" sound it's supposed to be.

Experiencing weird issues with Carrot and Siri reading the forecast caption on launch. Ringer switch is always off, VoiceOver is disabled, and Voice Feedback is set to “with switch.”

Is anyone able to get new Siri accents to download? On both my iPad Pro 10.5" and my iPhone XS Max, it will say "Downloading..." and it's always at 0% and won't download a new voice/accent.

Completely bricked my iPad. Was using split browsing and system started to crash. Now top power button will trigger siri but can't force a reboot using volume and top button. Can't unlock screen for an iTunes reinstall. I guess I will wait until power drains and see if it will reboot.

I was able to download several.

Right, and it's incompatible with 12 and earlier. That's why I pondered the consequences of upgrading reminders then downgrading iOS.

Doesn't brick my iPP 9.7 but does crash to lock screen.
