iOS 16 Beta 1 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[Cpives]

Haven’t seen anyone post about this yet, but you can press on an object in a photo (in the Photos app), and be able to copy or send that object with the background removed. Example below:

I’ve managed to pull things out of the photo, but haven’t managed to paste them elsewhere?

That time of the year again, huh? I'm working away in Singapore for a few months, have no backup device and am really, really screwed if my phone doesn't work... So naturally I installed it right away 😅 Need to do iPad when I get back from work.

Found out that all my Text Replacement are gone

Thankfully, mine are still there 😅

Don’t worry, I was being stupid.

Seemed to pull into Messages and Apple Mail for me fine. Other apps like Outlook or Word either ignored or misunderstood it though.

How‘s the beta performing on the older iPads? iPad 8 especially.

I’m *guessing* that it may be specific to exactly which rules your company has? Perhaps it works for some but not others (if os version checked)

Yeah that sounds about right. I’ve emailed my companies IT dept and wondering if its just an update they want to do now

I’ve only tried to paste them successfully in the Messages app. Hoping 3rd party apps will support this cool feature in the future.

Does anyone happen to know what stand Craig used on the back of his iPhone to clip on the MacBook?

He mentioned it was from Belkin

Hi from Singapore 🙂

It works pretty good for me.
There are some problems nonetheless. The most problems I have is with widgets.
The big widgets on the home screen don't work flawless for me. I have the weather widget (in the biggest possible size) and another in the biggest size (crypto pro). Like you see in the screenshot, it doesn't seem to load properly.
The weather widget eventually updates and is visible, the one from crypto pro doesn't work. The smaller ones work fine.

But I don't know how frequently the widgets (on the lockscreen and the homescreen) do update. my other crypto widgets are far behind from actual data and also the battery widget on the lockscreen has some problems. my battery went from 43% to 32% and the widget still showed 43%...so it seems like they don't update regularely.

Can anyone confirm Ready2Wash and Rise of Kingdoms work? 😅

Pretty stable so far. Only issue i'm facing is that all my testflights apps on the watch (but not on the phone) are requiring "developer mode" which I cannot seem to find except on the phone.

Seems that spotlight is now also on the lock screen. Anyone have found a way to disable that?

Just did pasted it directly in WhatsApp.

Under faceID & passcode it has an option to disable it

I believe I heard Belkin was working on them and they would be available soon .

Even battery life is solid! This is the best first beta ever! 13pro

Thanks! Wish you could separate search and today view... but eh!

I’m very hesitant to put a beta on my watch cause I can’t restore it to a public firmware. I’ve never done it but it would be nice to update it to watchOS 9 IF it’s stable with good battery life. Time will tell if that’s the case or not.

I installed it, and at the moment it behaves like watchos 8 the truth, I don't see any strange behavior.

 

[Pearsey]

Battery well that’s a surprise through the night. Was expecting a steep drain. Are we really on iOS 16b1 😂

 

[SoYoung]

Is it just me or its impossible to adjust the wallpaper image with one finger? I have to pinch and zoom/unzoom to position the picture the way I like witch is not precise at all.

 

[drak22]

At the moment they seem solid betas, both on the watch and on the iphone. On the watch I notice that they have zoomed in too much in general, the spheres appear larger, and when I receive a notification the text appears cut off on the sides.

Personalized Spatial Audio is only available in iOS 16 and not in iPadOS 16 Beta? Can't find it on my iPad.

They cut all the good stuff for iPad this year. I install it on my 2018 iPad pro only to find out its still the old lock screen with almost nothing new in the whole OS.

I knew Stage Manager and Display Scaling only works on M1 iPad's. But I thought Personalized Spatial Audio would also work in any iPad? Can anyone confirm if this is also an M1 feature or that it doesn't exist at all on iPadOS?
