iOS 14 Beta 1 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[GregJohn]

Eye Contact in FaceTime is back!

"FaceTime can make video calling more natural by helping you establish eye contact even when you’re looking at the screen instead of the camera." iOS 14 Features

I was wondering if that feature that was like in what? iOS 13.1 beta would ever come back! Or if it was still there... (I don’t use FaceTime enough to notice)

 

[thatappleguytoday]

Did you jailbreak your device recently?

Yes probably a few weeks ago before I updated to 13.5.1

Ahh, you're using the banking app. I'm using the Barclays US app.

Many of the new things (list view, hiding home screens, widgets on different pages or anywhere on the page, app library) all don’t exist in iPad strangely

Yep. And apparently many of them aren’t coming.

And FaceTime is now 1080p on compatible devices!!

How’d... I MISS THIS
This is HUGE!

Mirror photos taken on front camera
A new option in Settings lets you capture mirrored selfies, which reflect the front camera preview.

Where is bedtime now? Not that I want to wake up for work tomorrow but I don't think "installing ios 14" will be an appropriate excuse 😂

Also, PIP is really great. Very smooth. Seems to be near bug free. I’m playing videos while I browse macrumors.

It works perfectly in iOS 13 too with a jailbreak enabling it natively. They just decided to hold it back till iOS 14.

Yikes!

How can I get the bets on my iPhone if I’m not a developer?

 

[GregJohn]

Yep. And apparently many of them aren’t coming.

Correct...
Maybe iOS 17

Found it! There is a new sleep option under alarms. Hopefully it works!

How do I make PIP work with YouTube? or maybe it doesn't yet?

 

[Enygmatic]

Barclays app is not working. It’s flagging it as hail broken. Amazing software engineers work there apparently...

-
Now there’s an option to export the activity rings as a picture, don’t think it was there before.

Barclays app working fine for me

EDIT - Barclays US, evidently... didn’t realize they had different apps. Aplogies.

Only in safari - youtube has to update to make it work - but I can almost GUARANTEE they wont do it because that’s google for you

Then it would be a useless feature as I cant remember the last time I used safari to watch videos.

Wait until ios 14 is released and google updates the app.

 

[Cscottrun]

Is the option to change default browser and mail app in this beta? I can’t seem to locate it.

 

[DimaVR]

Mail works finally!!! Everything works for me I can’t find a single issue with iOS 14 or Mac OS 11? Damn this Beta 1 is good!

So I’ve deleted a bunch of stuff and apps on my iPad Air 2 and have almost 7 gigs left and still won’t let me install it. It reboots and says iOS 13.6 installed

It currently works for Netflix, Disney +, anything in safari, Apple TV, and others

Which since it works already in some 3rd party apps - that makes me question youtube and why does it not work - it’s not like Disney updated their app for iOS 14

Some app developers roll their own video player widget

 

[gwhizkids]

For the love of god, I cant figure out why Siri shows up on full screen when i ask a question or current weather.. am I missing something or this is how it is gonna be?

Day 1 on beta 1. Let’s lose the drama...

 

[GregJohn]

I’m just not sure why I seem to be the only person who doesn’t have emoji search on any of my devices. It’s rather odd

Google hides that behind a YouTube Red/Premium paywall even today in iPad. If you already have that and it's still not working on iPhone, the app will need to be updated. If you don't, don't expect it any time soon.
