[Ossyref]

Did anyone posted this? Apple Music automatically plays similar music now.
Is it there since beta 1?

Yes this came in with B1

A day later and still no public beta yet?

It was a 2 day delay for the last ones, so expect public beta today.

On iOS13 the late betas were released 1 day or even some hours after the dev beta. So let's hope the upcoming PBs will be faster

Haptic feedback doesn’t work for me (iPhone XS) say when scrolling the time selector in stock Timer app.
Is it a known issue?

Seeing an microphone icon on the IP11 while on call.
Took the leap from iOS 13 to iOS 14 beta 4.
Can anyone help in this regard.

PNC Bank app crashes, all other betas it worked fine!
Can someone verify on their phone.

Crashing for me too on an iPhone X running beta 4. Worked fine on the previous betas. Tried deleting and reinstalling but that didn't help. Hmmm...

It’s a bug. Report it

It’s a bug. Report it

Thanks. Reporting it now.

Sheesh...that wasn’t a nor’easter, that was a near hurricane. People are without power everywhere in the tristate area. I’m sure TMobile will get this fixed in time and it may simply be that their network is slammed because all the people who don’t have power at home are using their phones for info.

Still on latest iOS 13.6 but I live on Long Island and T-MOBILE is working fine for me. My Verizon phone data service has been up and down.

Widgets are working much better in beta 4. Specifically, the calendar widget is now able to access my work Exchange calendar, which is great. Animations seem smoother too. iOS 14 beta cycle has been great for me, so far.

It's good to get a report from someone having a positive experience. Mostly, people only comment when they're having problems, which gives the impression that b4 is horrible for just about everyone.

On my iPhone 11 Pro I’m seeing a battery reduction as well. It hasn’t been a train wreck, but I can see a larger drain on the phone.

This is the first beta of 14 that hasn’t been good for me.

• Worse battery
• Noticeable heat
• Random system hangs
• Camera often does not work from lockscreen, requiring a restart
• App updates are exceptionally slow

Same

Not having any of these problems on my 11 pro. Although I had the first 2 problems on the last beta, but have gone now.

I think once we get to the one beta a week phase (likely starting next week), we'll see the release of the public betas same day or next day latest.

I am seeing slightly worse battery life on my Xs Max... but not seeing any of the other issues. Still very solid for me.

Is there any language settings for music app? It will be annoying for us non Chinese user living in Hong Kong.

PS. I already submitted the report.

I’ve also noticed in this beta as well as in 3, both in CarPlay and the Music app itself, pressing the back arrows once no longer scrubs to the beginning of the song. Kind of annoying.

Soooo Facebook is now accessing the clipboard constantly. It seems to happen every time a word is swiped. Typing one in manually doesn’t trigger an access. I think hitting an emoji triggered one as well.

 

[Apple_Robert]

Is this new? I have wanted to see this function for so long. This is a great add if it tells you if the phone is carrier locked.

Yes, it is a new feature and one that was long overdue.

 

[FairAndBalanced]

Can someone try if this bug is now resolved?

"Shortcuts app unable to turn WiFi off. ( „Could not run set Wi-Fi - there was a problem communicating with the app“ ) "

Still broken.

IPP 11 G2 - PB4
Safari - reported via Feedback

Have several tabs open when the tab in use will freeze. Scrolling, input, selection, nothing works. A refresh of the tab does not fix it. The only option is to close the tab and reopen it. You can reopen from history. All other tabs are not affected.

While I have seen this very sporadically, with b4 I am seeing this several times over th past day. The latest was this morning in the midst of an Amazon checkout. Prior to that was in the middle of a Google search.

Are your general language settings set to a non-Chinese language?

Works fine for me.

Battery life on my XR, iPP 11 and AW4 is much better with b4 on all three.

Looks like Youtube has removed SDR 4K from the app in beta 4. HDR 4K still working for now.

 

[stoopkidblues]

App Store updates not working for anyone? Seems to be an Apple server issue similar to betas at beginning of iOS 13.
