iOS 14 Beta 6 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[David11]

Is there ever going to be a live wallpaper option for the lock screen on the iPhone SE second generation?

 

[Mac Rules]

It’s not new but i think it only works if you have the beta on your watch and your phone. I could be wrong but it didn’t show up for me until I installed the watch beta

Works here without my watch being on the beta, its unrelated to WatchOS

I just got the new CENTER_TXT Pros too. Sound great.

Battery holds fine in standby, but plummets like a rock when the screen is on...

Is this new with the border around and ‘customise’ option?

Not new, it's hosting the pre-iOS 14 widgets.

 

[OlliFlamme]

That’s new and I think it’s super useful!

update: not new, apparently (still useful tho 🤡)

With regards to the notification about the end time of your optimal battery charging:

I’m confused, as I have recently (like a month ago) seen that in iOS13, when I woke up unintentionally like 05:00 in the morning. I had never seen it before and it struck me as a smart thing. Is there anybody with me on it being not even a iOS 14 beta thing? As I am 100% sure it was before I started going beta here...

Damn...another version without dark sky weather integration unlike US users. I wonder what beta version it’ll be once other supported countries get those hourly precipitation forecasts, if it happens before GM release that is.

Apple's website says it's US only, so that means it'll be US only at launch, other countries will have to wait until iOS 14.1 at the earliest, it seems.

Anyone noticed an issue where tapping any of the top-left app icons in any of the sections of the App Library fails to open, as if the touch isn't being registered?
Doesn't happen 100% of the time and happens to different apps at random.

Not seeing that issue on my 11 Pro Max

**Edit***
Photo stolen from a reddit thread but is accurate, happens for apps in either the left or right columns but always the top-left app.

Just to say this is NOT happening with me on Public Beta with an XS, thankfully. A really odd bug.

 

[jsamuelson]

Does anybody else have iPhone xs rebooting issue? Does beta 6 fixes this?

I have an XS - zero rebooting since I got on Beta 4. Does anything particular trigger it?

Same for standard AirPods too....

 

[Blue Hawk]

Working fine here on my 11 Pro.

That never worked for me. I only see 1080p

 

[bransoj]

Huh, I wonder if it is for those that have a subscription?

Mine looks like the "new one" and i do subscribe to Apple Music.

 

[Mac Rules]

Just ran Geekbench 5 on my b6 Pro Max and got a rather surprising compute/Metal score back 😳

 

[adrianlondon]

I really hope they do something about the blank Home control spaces in CC.

I don't like the random favourites it chooses to display (my only homekit stuff is Philips Hue bulbs), so I've turned off "show home controls" and added the "home" icon instead. It's an extra tap to open it up but then it shows everything.

That’s definitely an iOS 13 feature. But the problem is sometimes it appears sometimes it doesn’t

I've had to turn Back Tap off.

Find myself constantly accidentally screenshotting people's social media posts; the worst being SnapChat as the other person gets a notification 😂

I cannot connect to my work VPN since i installed this beta. Is this a known issue.

It‘s not happening, otherwise they would’ve not gone out of their way to mention „US only“ everywhere (in the keynote, on the iOS 14 page).
Probably happens in iOS 15.

 

[Chazzle]

This is a holdover issue from before, but is anyone [still] missing their suggested contacts banner in the share sheet?

I had them go missing once randomly on this beta but every other time they show up properly. We’ll see if they go missing again.

 

[Mac Rules]

This is minor but I can’t unsee it now; the clock widget’s hands are the old-style short version compared to the new app icon’s long-style.

 

[BeauGiles]

Maps now has the ability to add ratings and photos to venues

Were you able to connect on B5?

Looks like I'll be updating today.
