Now only IF Apple will allow us to login to multiple countries App stores without logging out each time to login to another country. 😁

I actually does sorta remember the previous login for another App Store. I have apps on the Canadian and Mexican stores and I needed to change the App Store login to download the original apps but after that it automatically updates apps from both countries.

Yes, but trying to get a new app on a different country is a problem! Hopefully they will allow to easily download without logging out every time!

Yeah, skipping this beta. Sounds like it's not very well baked.

Eh…after some initial post-installation “cooling” (I only performed one install, via IPSW this go-around @sbailey4 ;)) and plenty of full restarts between adjusting settings, installing/deleting a few apps, syncing/backing up to Mac and iCloud, and ample time on the charger, beta 3 seems pretty nice thus far. Transitions and animations could still use some tweaking, though, and there is that battery widget issue—here’s to hoping with beta 4. 🍸

New(er) setting under Accessibility > Motion for automatically dimming “strobing lights” in video content, presumably for epilepsy sufferers. Not sure how new it actually is but the description hasn’t been localized into Spanish yet.

P.S.– Side note, but I also just noticed auto-brightness seems somewhat borked on this beta (too dim in lower light, even after resetting). Probably the most annoying thing I’ve encountered thus far.

Has anyone else been unable to print to pdf in beta 3? I can't do it in any application. This was also the case in beta 2.

Print direct to PDF? Yes and No.
I can but it is limited to MSOffice apps - these are via my work and not exactly App Store stock.
I can convert other documents and web pages to pdf via PDF Expert Pro.

Update: looks like your question was for Mac, not iOS ;)

New splash screens and new options in Tips if you have connected devices like Watch and AirPods. There’s also an updated explanation for Call Quietly for Emergency SOS.

Experiencing Music bug in which the now-playing interface displays the correctly-corresponding cover artwork respective to the edition of the album being played (the one I have saved, which doesn’t have the “parental advisory” watermark) while the recently-added view in Library links to the incorrect version of the album—the one with the “explicit” track and watermark—and thus displays the incorrect artwork.

Further evidence the PA version isn’t in library:

Okay, now this is real weird: Audio abruptly cut out during “Where alice Begins,” but the playback countdown continued on as if nothing happened. Suddenly, playback jumped to the next track, “Bad Girl,” but Music still showed that the previous track was playing:

Upon reaching zero seconds on “Where Life Begins” (again, not the track that was actually playing), the UI simply remained stuck there:

…Once the track that was actually playing finished, the audio died off altogether, at least matching the interface’s frozen state. :)

Seems Apple is still putting in the heavy work on Music; I just hope it ends with a soft landing and stable product. 🤞🎵

I think you are Turkish.

So could you let us know which one is correct: Turkey or Türkiye

If Türkiye is the correct one, then why is it still Turkish but not Türk?

Thanks in advance.

:) Presidency of the Republic of Türkiye

The phrase Türkiye represents the culture, civilization and values of the Türk nation in the best way.
Turkish means people who speak Turkish in the English language.
The Turkish word is the expression of our nation.
i hope i could explain Thanks.

Morning after beta 3 install: no bugs for me on 14 Pro Max. Battery seems about the same and phone temperature is normal. Also don’t seem to have any scrolling bugs.

I don’t use the broken battery widget so, to me, this feels like proper release quality. I’m a happy 🐰

Similar problem on my HomePods. Music just stops and goes to the next track. Also there is a massive delay on all my HomePods either invoking Siri or tapping the button to skip to the next track. Apple Music is even more crap than usual on these devices. Hopefully it will be better on the next update… Yeah right LOL

Sadly this is nothing new. One of the major gripes I’ve had with Apple over the years is how my albums get swapped out without my consent after turning on iCloud music library.

For example “The Remedy” by Seether was released in 2005 but an updated acoustic version was released a few years back. Thanks Apple, but I’d prefer to have the option to listen to both versions.

I also have random times where an album I owned even before iTunes is “not available in my region” and completely grayed out. WTF?

End rant.
