Not the case here on my 12mini. The background process syncing is killing the battery. Messages is buggy, lock screen customization messy. However, the experience on the iPad Pro running iPadOS beta is much better.
I was having a nice experience (for a beta 1) up until yesterday. My iPad has started rebooting (not repsringing) after waking it sometimes. 3 times since this morning. Nothing new on it, no different patterns of use that I can discern. Not a big deal, otherwise I wouldn't have installed it, but mildly irritating.
Sorry if it's been asked before but where did they hide iCloud Private Relay in Settings? Can't find it.
It's in the iCloud panel inside Settings. If you cannot see it, try signing out of and back into iCloud. That fixed it for me.
Think I rather wait for the next beta, I hate having to sign out and back into iCloud.
Agreed, it's a pain.
I'm posting this in both 16 and 15.6 beta threads.
iPad Pro 11 2020 - 16.0 b1
iPhone 13 ProMax - 15.6 b2
I've posted in both the 15.6b2 thread and the 16.0 b1 thread on this issue - slow to launch apps; my OnePlus 9 Pro is quicker.
The 13 ProMax is OTA
The iPad Pro 11 was OTA then ipsw.
Both suffer from this issue.
Spent some time comparing both devices on Wi-Fi (6e), 5G, LTE, and in Airplane Mode.
1. If the app is native and runs only native it is very fast.
2. If the app queries the internet or does a guick pull it is fast irrespective of Wi-Fi, 5G, or LTE.
3. If the app pulls/fetches from the internet and has a live link (up and down) it is slow. Doesn't matter if it is Wi-Fi, 5G, or LTE. Once it launches and is up and running (ready for use) it is generally very fast.
For #3, I'll use Proton Mail as an example, if I place the device in Airplane Mode it is fast. Turn off Airplane Mode and it crawls at launch.
This does appear to fit into on again - off again issue many of us are seeing with Wi-Fi. If it was the internet site/source or Wi-Fi, 5G, or LTE, I would be seeing this across all my devices (OnePlus 9 Pro Android 11, Lenovo X280 Ubuntu 20.04, Lenovo X280 Win10 (x2), Galaxy Chromebook, MBP 2015 Monterey). I'm not. Everything is running great on all but the iDevices.
Here is to hoping that Apple eventually fixes this issue.

😆😂 with your 1000 unread emails, 57 missed calls and 150 unread messages… I was expecting something like 17,500 duplicates.
1 😆😂
Looks like you can do a search in Settings for it, too. Even though it's not where it's supposed to be when you navigate there manually.
Yeah it shows me it's in Settings - iCloud but when I click it, it's not there.
Likely 6/20 or 6/21 based on history, but I would follow the speculation thread on timing.
I managed my contacts pretty well but my notifications got out of hand so I don’t bother to check all of them. Glad I don’t have OCD and many aren’t that important to respond to 😂
iPad Pro 11 2020
Merging Contacts
Tried this a few days back. I deliberately set Contacts source to iCloud.
Went back in today and all duplicates are back.
One item has me baffled; you can view where the duplicate contacts are coming from, of the 13 I have left they all have as source; iCloud and Unknown.
Anyone have any idea what is "Unknown"?

This is really one of the only problems I am having on this beta.
I had bad drain with the weather widget until I disabled location services for the weather app. This stops the app/widget from constantly polling GPS data, but also prevents you from getting weather notifications from your "current" location. I took a compromise and saved a few primary locations.
I don't travel a whole lot but can easily add in a location if I do. 🤷♂️
Just for sake of argument, is it possible that a reinstall is the fix more so than the type (OTA/IPSW)? Never can tell because you can't reinstall via OTA. But IF they are 100% identical as Apple says, then the process of a reinstall would be the silver bullet more so than the way you install. Again just food for thought.

That is an interesting thought.
Kind of like the reinstall "paves over" the problem areas?Just for sake of argument, is it possible that a reinstall is the fix more so than the type (OTA/IPSW)?

I thought I remembered seeing this. I just tried this on my iPad Pro and got the same result. I even restarted it in case it was a RAM issue. Still no good.
