iOS 14.5 Beta 1 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[MLVC]

Just making sure - "Reuters News". I realize this looks exactly like the Apple demo pics, but it's legit

EDIT: Oh look, I found a bug!!! The screen capture shows the my phone's background around the edges! 😛

That's the one I got, but nothing is showing for me.

So weird ... did you open the app? I'm starting to think the feature is a wee bit half baked.

Just a heads up for other users of MS Teams, it is crashing upon launch for me after updating to 14.5.

It’s loading fine for me on 12 PM

I don't have an Apple Watch so was a bit jealous that you'll all be able to unlock the phone while wearing a mask, but I've just read that Apple Pay stuff still needs full FaceID unlock. As that's the main time I'm wearing a mask and needing to unlock the phone (paying at the till), I still need to enter my PIN. Phew. Not quite so jealous 🙂

You just use your watch to pay and no need for faceid or pin 🙄

You can use the Apple Watch to pay with Apple Pay, I never use my phone for that anyway. The watch is way faster.

I don't have one. Can I use yours? 🙂

Also restarted the phone, nothing. I remember it working fine in the first 14 beta (or at least I think it worked fine back then, before it was pulled). Yeah, maybe it needs a bit or maybe I'm the only one for who it's not working lol

Is anyone seeing Safari issues after updating? iPhone 11 Pro Max is saying Safari has an internal webkit error when trying to load most pages.

Outlook as well.

Also, appears that the bluetooth device category is missing as well.

Where do you turn that Apple Watch unlock feature on? Anybody know?

Edit: found it, in Settings - Face ID & Passcode on the phone.

Do you need the latest watchOS in order for this to work?

Do you need the latest watchOS in order for this to work?

Yes you do.

 

[BadMelonFarmer]

Do you need the latest watchOS in order for this to work?

Yes, it says you need to update WatchOS to enable it. You can’t switch it on without updating.

Installing command line tools does not help in installing via IPSW.

 

[gwhizkids]

Do you need the latest watchOS in order for this to work?

Yes, as I just found out

Not if you have an Apple Watch. Just use Apple Pay from the watch.

Outlook as well.

Do you use “comp portal”?
Looks like the device compliance it messed up which will prevent managed apps from launching

 

[DeadKlau5]

Scrolling Song titles on lock screen are back in this beta

 

[Channelsurfer63]

Just seeing this on Reddit. No clue if true.

That feature of unlocking when wearing your Watch and a mask works wonderfully.

Yes

It does. It's almost instant. There's no lag. Didn't expect it to be so fast.

Why would you bother with all the rigmarole of paying with your iPhone if you were wearing a Watch?

Allowing ApplePay on the iPhone when you have it on the Watch is like making extra work for yourself.

This is not new tech, as it’s been available on the Mac for 3-4 years now. So it probably was a fairly simple port. Great feature. Can’t say how many times I’ve cursed at the phone for locking up when I’m grocery shopping and have to enter the passcode to get it to reopen.

Cue the naysayers who will decry this as a nefarious way for Apple to sell more Watches.

The apps are protected since they tie into my employer. I am not using the inTune Comp Portal though. iPad mini 4 seems to work just fine.

Exactly.

Ever use a drive thru and had the worried feeling of holding your phone outside your car and maybe dropping it when you hold fit near the reader that they keep away from you at a distance that is more comfortable for them and not you?

The watch is vastly better and much safer as it stays on your wrist.

Just to confirm, if you can't update via IPSW, you need to download Xcode, unzip, open it and install the components, you can then throw Xcode in the bin and update your phone normally.

could you specify it? i dont get what xcode and what to unzip

thanks

So is Microsoft outlook.
Edit: confirmed that it’s a problem with azure information protection. If your account is protected all enterprise authorized apps crash on launch.
