iPadOS - Anyone else not able to full screen a window when having more than one app on a stage? Not sure if its a bug or a feature

Bug. I can maximize apps via the lower right control thing

Would you mind to share it? 👍🏻

Automatically scans for every raw shot in the last five minutes, converts them to JPEG and deletes the RAWs.

Here is a converter that will check the last 250 photos, convert them, then prompt you if you want to delete the ProRAW versions.

Huh. This is how it looks like for me when having more than one app open… iPad Pro m1 12,9. I can’t go further…

All my homehubs on the new beta keep going non-responsive :-\

 

[Pearsey]

Lucky.

you tried reinstalling the app? or the iOS?

 

[rmstern]

Following, my 12 Pro volume control buttons do not work either.

Happy to report Beta 2 fixed my volume buttons on my iPhone Pro 12!

Is anyone having an issue installing the WatchOS public version? I keep getting an error - "Software Update Failed". An error occurred downloading the latest version of watchOS on your Apple Watch.

I even downloaded the profile again.

iOS 16.3 Beta 2 Fixes Issue With Apple Music Playing Clean Versions Instead of Explicit

Apple says it has fixed an issue that caused songs in Apple Music to play clean rather than explicit.

Messages

Tried to send a document (pdf) attached to a text via MMS and it has failed every time. Pictures send okay but that is it.
I can send via iMessage with no issue.
Both devices are on AT&T.

Should that even work? I thought MMS was only for images and short video clips?

 

[Grayburn]

Disagree. It always showed the carrier name on the upper left. Time only shows when you pull down the notification screen. This is new.

It’s not new.

ATT supports it.
This isn’t the first time I have had attachment issues in Messages.
You cannot send direct in a Message but if you select the file and send via the Action Menu it works.
Or it did till now.

Notifications - Lockscreen

With this update, every LS Notification is lighting the screen up nice and bright at night. Had to put it face down on my nightstand last night. Settings are good. DND is set for 22:00 - 07:00

Reported via Feedback

Going to try a few On/Off, Reboot, etc… to see if I can get it working again.

Are you using the Sleep focus? It turns AOD completely off unless you tap the screen to wake.

 

[Pearsey]

Apparently, there won’t be any huge improvements or features in iOS 17… just a solid bug and performance release. The focus is on their AR headset.

So might not be that exciting in 5 months this time round, but imagine a bug free iOS.

We would all have such clean hands 😆😉

Does this fix assistive touch pinch/zoom when playing videos?

Thanks!

I’m less optimistic.

From MR:

“iOS 17 may have "fewer major changes than originally planned" due to Apple's focus on the "xrOS" operating system for its AR/VR headset, according to Gurman. This could result in iOS 17 having more of a focus on bug fixes and stability improvements, but it's still early, so we haven't heard much about exact features yet.”

Let’s unpack:

Mark Gurman and MR are saying two different things. MG reports that Apple will divert resources from iOS 17 development to headset OS development, resulting in less new features.

MR’s speculation uses this logic: if Apple is putting fewer new features in ios 17, that will free up resources to focus on stability and bug fixes.

MR's logic is incorrect. The freed up resources are going to headset OS development, not iOS 17 stability.

That’s how I read it, anyways. I hope I’m wrong, but I just don’t see how taking developers away from iOS 17 results in iOS 17 being more stable.

This 24/7 issue has stopped on my 13 ProMax. Crossing fingers hoping it stays that way.

I don’t want to get my hopes up, but maybe they’ll fix it

I’m using the DND Focus that I trigger manually.
This is a 13 Pro Max.

Touching and holding on a notification to expand it does not work, regardless of whether it’s in the lockscreen or the notification shade.

Apps are becoming unresponsive. YouTube and Messages, so far.

YouTube only required the app to be force closed.

Messages required me to restart my phone.
