Zollotech showed it in his video. Yes, it was a black screen with time & widgets, for him.

Thanks for the heads up.

I did a screenshot - Looks great! I might need to jump on the beta and start using AOD again.

An issue that started in b2 for me is still an issue in today's b3.

I have a shortcut which asks for a number and then does some processing with it. If I run the shortcut directly, the prompt on the screen asks for the number, I type one (as in a number, not only 1 ... oh I'm so funny) and the shortcut runs as expected.

If, however, I ask the slightly-mentally-deficient Siri to run the shortcut, it normally asks aloud for a number, I dictate one and it works. Since b2, Siri gets stuck in a loop and just asks over and over and .....

Does this update fix the alarm clock widget not updating the wake up time on the lock screen?

It appears so. I just added the widget, changed the alarm time several times and the widget updated. If thats what you are referring to then yep its working

Sort of. The bug is if you have a scheduled alarm and wait for it to go off, the alarm widget wouldn't automatically update to the next alarm time. Instead would just show no alarm time.
If you change the alarm time without the alarm going off, the widget will track the changed alarm time until it went off by itself.

Thanks for checking and hope this made sense.

Appears some animations are either dropping frames or aren’t 120hz. I especially see this in Notification Center when I swipe left to clear a notification.

Testing this and it’s 100% reproducible for me clearing notifications by swiping left to clear them. It’s a “choppy” animation if you will.

Anyone else notice this?

OK so I set a manual alarm for 8:00pm (not the sleep/wakup deal) and let it go off. Then my 6 am ( sleep/wakup alarm) showed up in the widget. That would the next one. I updated the 8:00 manual alarm to 8:02. The widget updated to 8:02. When it went off, 6am alarm showed in widget again. I think this is what you were referring to. (I dont use the alarm widget because I already know when the two alarms I have set are going to happen same time every day) And since the widget space is limited.......... Hope this helps.

That's awesome. Thanks for going through the motions. Looks like the alarm widget is finally fixed in this update!
Now I have to decide if I want to jump on the beta train or not.

Stupid question, but does this beta fix any of the Music app bugs related to the “Recently Played” section in Music?

Basically referring to the fact that the Recently Played section has been displaying inaccurate info for a lot of people (perhaps everyone?). There’s also a stupid glitch where removing an album from your library causes it to not show up as being recently played.

Thanks.
