Same here. iPhone 8+ on DB5 and Nike+ Series 4 on watchOS 5.3, crazy battery drain, it discharged almost 50% overnight (around 7 hours, wearing it for sleep tracking with autosleep) while usually I just need to charge it every 36 hours on average depending on the workout use (and wearing it overnight). It definitely started with DB5.
When you check the battery usage of the Watch you can see that the usage and standby time are similar, meaning that the Watch is barely ever in standby and that something is in use almost constantly.
I tried to disable the background app refresh for the Watch, didn't help. I just tried to unpair and pair again the Watch (from a backup), but it was like one hour ago and it is still a bit early to say that it fixed it or not. So far still at 100% battery though.
Don't really want to restore as a new Watch or install watchOS 6 beta, so I hope it will get fixed soon. In the meantime, better have a charger close by...

Just tried the suggestion to reactivate and reinstall all the Blackberry Work apps and it worked. YMMV.
Is anyone having the issue where in all photos it’s stuck on uploading to iCloud but if you switch the phone off and on it uploads fine... it frustrating the hell out of me... very sparadic and totally not ideal?

Location Settings for Weather do not even have the Always option, just Allow Once and Allow While Using The App. Consequently, I wake up each morning to just a good morning now instead of waking up to weather info too.

Spoke too soon.
After initially working as it should, it’s now going to the Today screen rather than the Update panel when using the long press method.
I don't use the built in mail app anymore, but I thought that Google removed the ability to active sync (exchange style) gmail when you move to a new device from the device that you originally set up the account with.
Some nonsense about how the gmail app offers the best experience.
I don't find Google and their gmail team to be very iPhone friendly. I understand that doesn't help with your problem. But it's my experience that between googles hope that you'll run an android phone and Apple's not so great mail app, that I have much better results using the email providers app. For me that's Outlook because my mail is real exchange. It does support gmail as well, I recommend it highly.

Thanks, I just tried and can also confirm that deleting the app, reinstalling and reactivating with a new code fixes the crash issue.

Those with Apple Watch battery drain: Could it be watchOS 5.3 and not iOS beta? They came out close together. Not sure how to report this one.
My battery drain started with Beta 4 and after just a little bit of time on 5 it seems to be better but I will know more later today. The first test was after charging to 100% and then going to bed, I woke up and the watch was at 96% (on Beta 5), on Beta 4 it was closer to 86% doing the same test.

I was (and am again) using iOS 13 Beta 4 with WatchOS 5.3 with nowhere near the battery drain issues that began when going to iOS Beta 5. I got 30-36 hours with my watch, with Beta 5 I got about 7-8 hours (with little usage) and was close to the 10% level.

Simple: buy two iPhone XS Max and load each one with different version of iOS 13 beta.
Also, it is not that particularly difficult to unpack IPSW package and check everything within.

Yeah the issue is for iPadOS though, where those options do not exist.

It's definitely coming from an interaction between the two I think, because people running watchOS 6 beta (and iOS 13 beta of course) don't have any issues.
I just upgraded myself to watchOS 6 beta 5 and hopefully the battery life will get back to normal.
By the way there is a thread dedicated to the battery life of the Apple Watch under iOS 13:
https://forums.macrumors.com/thread...rain-apple-watch-since-ios-13-beta-5.2191790/
I've had problems with the Apple Watch battery for a couple of weeks now. It started while I was on iOS 12 + WatchOS 5.
I decided to give iOS 13 DB4 a try. No luck. I updated to WatchOS 6. Same problem. Unpaired and re-paired. Same.
Finally I disabled every sync and installed no apps (making the Apple Watch the dumbest smart watch ever) and it came back to normal. For me that's about 7-8% drop every hour. I gradually enabled different things and it seemed to be ok.
However yesterday I updated to the latest betas and I'm at 15% every hour.
I’m on beta 5 of iOS 13 and watchOS 6. Series 4 watch- No battery drain on the watch. Works as normal. 6am off the charger, watch is now 87%
Odd. I checked Notification settings this morning and the "Announce Messages with Siri" option is back.
Interesting... still not there for me. Did you do anything specific to try and trigger it back? I have seen another users here in the forums with the same issue on the Max. I did report the issue via the feedback app already.
