iOS 14.6 Beta 1 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[AppleFanboy1984]

It absolutely blows my mind this is still around. It’s almost comical not like it hurts anything but come on…. Visually just crazy to think it has not been fixed yet. Here’s to IOS15 and a fix… maybe!

What is the blank bar bug?

What is the blank bar bug?

When you open a text thread in messages, especially when a photo was sent last… the keyboard/app tray will flash and be blank b4 something pops up. Just weird. Pretty annoying but nothing game changing.

Haven’t seen a ton of differences yet, but this beta feels pretty smooth and snappy.

Totally agree. I’ll report on a geekbench after 24hrs, see if that shows any improvement on the RC.

P.s R.I.P Blank iMessage bar. 🖤

Screw it - I’ll say it…

The blank bar bug in the Messages app is still present.

Been waiting for that all day.

Been waiting for that all day.

Somehow I became “the blank bar guy” during the iOS 14.5 beta cycle.

I was happy to let someone else report it for 14.6, but nobody said anything.

Guess I’ll take on that role again for another cycle, but I’m not gonna do it for iOS 15.

Gotta love it when old bugs resurface…

The widget screen (“Today View”) sometimes appears blank. This has happened to me twice so far, although I can’t replicate it the same way that I could with older iOS 14 betas (this used to happen when you would swipe from the Home Screen to the App Library, then immediately swipe over to the Today View).

tvOS 14.6 breaks HBO max for those on that.

Don’t remember seeing this before.
You can download via cellular.

Maybe due to it being a 5G connection?

Care to elaborate? Errors? Content freezing? Nothing plays? Audio sync issues?

HBO max app says you’re offline

you get either connection error or “oops something went wrong“ and there’s no way to get past that.

I have never seen this

 

[srbNYC]

Same here re HBO Max

 

[gwang73]

I read that the same thing happens to the HBO Max app on ATV running TVOS 14.6 beta so be careful.

14.6 changes video 👇

 

[lordhamster]

Well, that should put an end to the "do I need to remove the profile to get the final release" posts!


Naaaaaaahhhh!!! Who am I kidding?!? 😆

Now I'll ask just for spite.

Had that in 14.5. Don’t remember checking for that in 14.4.

Thanks for reporting! I was just about to update to the beta to see if this was fixed and now I can relax and keep off the betas for a little while.

Anyone have any guesses on whether or not the iOS 15 betas will come out before this beta cycle ends? Debating if I want to jump onto this one or if I want to hop off the beta train until the summer...

At my opinion you still can install this one, and then after wwdc, install the iOS 15 beta without problem (at your own risk, depending the use of the device) I have done it with previous betas, without issues.

Highly unlikely, but I could be wrong.

Sounds good, thanks!

That was my thought at first, but then I started thinking back on this year’s betas and the unpredictability 😂

What’s the modem firmware for a 12? Maybe they’ve finally made my provider better. I’m sick and tired of Verizon. Since I’ve gotten this phone, they’ve been garbage. I had a Verizon USB modem today that I plugged into a laptop and did a google speedtest. I got about 17 down and 9 up. I ran the exact same speedtest at the exact same time with my 12 Pro and got about 2 down and 6 up. My iPhone X, I swear, worked a lot better. Meanwhile my boss has a 12 Pro Max and did a speedtest and got 180 down and I didn’t pay attention to his up. He’s on AT&T.
