iOS 14 Beta 4 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[sorgo †]

iMessages still has the vanishing keyboard bug. ☹

Just discovered—pretty disappointing (even for a beta 😒).

Also did the widget in the previous beta give a brief overview of tomorrow’s weather?

Which size widget?

Watch OS 7 beta 4 just showed up on my watch in case anyone else is asking.

Same here.

It seems like after a initial boot widgets work great, but over time they stop working. Mine seem to be acting up again.

Camera is even more broken than beta 3. It’s not focusing at all. / a restart has helped /

No focus issues on an 11 Pro Max.

I’m seeing the disappearing keyboard bug that others have mentioned. For me it happened on WhatsApp. Typed a few words then the keyboard just disappeared leaving a blank space.

I don’t understand the discrepancy in Verizon carrier version. The wiki shows 41.7.59. Another poster noted that it went down between beta 3 and beta 4. I have 41.7.66 on beta 4.

Looks like you can AirDrop to your devices without being in close proximity.

I’m 5 miles away at work and it’s giving me the option to AirDrop to my iMac at home.

Must’ve been a bug or something. It’s not happening anymore.

Still no 3D Touch on Apple Watch, . If only there was an long press function to dismiss all notification it would not be so frustrating the lost of 3D Touch.
Update: Sent another report. (1st in B1)

Spent the last couple of hours playing with Mail and Messages.
None of the notes issues from Beta 3 have been fixed in Beta 4.

Maybe Beta 5 ?

Canada COVID alert app working now on Beta 4.

Yes I am pleased to see this as well since it had been mentioned earlier that iOS 14 would have to exit beta prior to being able to activate.
Now I've just got to wait for my home province of British Columbia to get on board with it.

Someone mentioned turning off prefer crossfade transitions in accessibility. Now it’s working perfect for me.

On the watch. Slide notifications down. Two fingers down on the screen brings up “clear all”.

Looks like they’ve updated the Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos icons in the TV App. Does not appear to have changed in the iTunes Store though.

Anyone experiencing an issue with Hey Siri? Only time it “listens” is when connected up during CarPlay. Doesn’t work on my iPhone 11 Pro. I’ve tried turning off Hey Siri, setting it back up, doesn’t fix the issue. Tried on a charging cable thinking that’s the issue since it works during CarPlay when wired. Issue was there in Beta 3 and reported it and reported it again just now. Not sure if it was present in Beta 2, but pretty sure it worked in Beta 1.

I can't get it to work with two fingers on the screen, to get the "clear all".

It's incredibly disappointing. As a paying subscriber it seems like I should be able to use a public beta and access this feature.

Why? For one, other than a limited group, this is not a public beta. Secondly, you have zero entitlement to any functionality during a beta. Period. That is why they tell you to use a device dedicated to development. They know many use their daily driver, but that’s your problem, not theirs.

 

[gwhizkids]

Everything runs super smooth for me, widgets included.
Finally!

But I am running it since 15 minutes so take that into account as well.

Wisdom!

 

[DimaVR]

same issues as beta 3, i dont think it better and i dont think its worse you know.

 

[bamf-hacker]

When you run a shortcut to change a setting on the Watch now it opens the watch app on the phone.

Let’s hope that’s a bug since it’s annoying

Did it work while you had it?

They have to put it in there or someone would try to sue. 😒

Help! Suddenly, with the new beta, my AirPods Pro lose all audio as soon as a phone call connects. The call timer keeps going, but I have no ear or mic audio--and I can't use the on-screen menu to switch the audio back to the iPhone. If I call the person back without my AirPods, all is fine--and the other person confirms they had only silence on the prior call.

I searched on Reddit, and some people experienced something similar with earlier betas, and solved it by turning off "Sound Recognition" in Accessibility. It is, however, already off.

Any suggestions? THANK YOU.

Reset your AirPods, was happening with me recently with Beta 3 and same thing after the update to Beta 4.
