iOS 16.5 Beta 3 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[Knowlege Bomb]

I meant to post this days ago but I think I forgot. Is this screen that pops up after you made an Apple Card payment new?

Definitely new.

Of course not, because bugs are relative, especially on iOS devices, where there’s over 2 billion of them.
Apple could say “we’ve fixed over 2000 bugs in the latest update” and someone will complain that when they press the volume up button followed by the volume down button, followed by flipping the mute switch on the lock screen the animation doesn’t display correctly or some nonsense like that that affects one in every 700,000,000 people, then use this super limited knowledge to talk about how iOS is going down the tubes ever since Jobs passed.

I have that one. So annoying. So sad.

They’ve seemed quite quick and reliable here between a Series 6 and 13 mini. Both devices on beta.

Thanks!
I'm only seeing an issue for Mail / Exchange accounts.

For the AWU, not on beta and having Notification issues for Messages. Also noticed this morning my Calendar notifications are not showing up.

How's iOS 16.5 Beta 3, how's the battery, what's new, do you think is should install it?

 

[jpsmith76]

Did you update your AWU to the 9.5 beta as well? My phone is on 16.5 beta 3 and my AW7 is on 9.4 and I do not have any delayed notifications or notifications not showing on my AW7.

Yeah the watch and phone are both on the latest beta. I just rebooted both to see if that makes any difference.

So far so good. Just bummed there aren't any new noticeable features but it's operating very smoothly.

Apple are saving the features for iOS 17 and Mark Gurman said it is a minor update with no features. He was wrong I think it will be a major update with big changes.

Pretty sure you can create a free developer account on your Apple ID. It limits you to what you can access but you can, because I can, still download IPSW files. I used to have a paid account, free one now, so some privileges have been taken away, but I have full access to the IPSW files.

My account just expired. And I didn’t renew it so it’s now just a basic developer account without the paid for perks.

Are the ipsw files supposed to show under downloads? This is what I'm seeing at the moment. 😅

You can stop searching for the IPSW, the public beta is already out (for everyone enrolled in the public beta program)

May start getting busier in here again.

macOS isn’t locked to public if not a developer yet. But it was in a later beta that it originally arrived

Definitely way better than b2 for me. iP14PM. And this 16.5 could be a simpler 16.4.2, unless Apple didn’t tell us the whole story. 🤔

So much this

Yeah. Boooo.

 

[sorgo †]

Yeah. Boooo.

Seems you lucked out with Apple outfitting your previously-paid account with IPSW perks and the like. Not all of us are so fortunate!

But I don’t get the OTA Dev builds on my phone. I have to use IPSW files. So somethings not quite right. But not complaining.

I hope not. Unless the "big changes" are an iOS that actually works properly.

So much this

What is ? 🥸

Really smooth beta and nothing of note that has come up yet. I had some pretty bad memory management in beta 2 (apps would start but stay on the splash screen for 5-10 seconds before refreshing) but that's fixed in this build.

IF you might be experiencing battery drain, I just got a splash screen telling me about this feature when updating my apps:



I can only image that could be going haywire with some badly designed apps and suck the life out of your bat.

Settings > App Store

 

[Veerasayz]

Safari - Select All is still missing.

Just wondering if anyone has actually reported this bug to apple rather than discussing here.

 

[contacos]

Keyboard is still having this annoying lag on spotlight when reduced motion is turned on 😵‍💫 in fact, it actually got worse since beta 1

 

[Veerasayz]

Can someone please clarify how to verify installed version. I can see I’m on 16.5 but where to check if I’m on beta 3?

Check Settings>General>About - iOS Version. Beta 3 is build 20F5050f.

It only applies to newly downloaded apps. Once the app has been opened the option doesn’t have any affect on the battery.

Yeah... noticed that in beta 2 and cut it off... I'm not so impatient that I can wait a second or 2 for the app to pull data. I have background app refresh turned OFF for almost everything.
