Beta 4 is a mess on my XR. The apps I use and the whole OS is frequently freezing and lagging. Even something as simple as adjusting the volume there is lag.

Edit: I restarted again and it seemed to be working as normal. I will post here if I find anything odd.

Always do a hard restart a few times. Then try reinstalling the beta again before worrying too much.

Re Notification Centre and options of stack vs list

Are all notifications hidden by default in the Notification Centre?

I see nothing until I swipe up, even with “list” format enabled in settings.

Yes. It’s a tidier version so the lockscreen has more space for the fancy wallpaper and widget graphics.
 
Random new bug. No Album Cover.

Also can I just say how much it bothers me that the space between the time and the album art feels like it is not the same as the space between the album art and the music control? (The clock almost appears squeezed) They should move up the date and the time just a little bit, to give it more room to "breathe" so to say

battery on my iphone 12 pm doesnt seem to be draining as much now when not in use :D

ipad animations are messed up. when rotating the screen there is black flickering.
 
Mail is crashing for me when I hold compose to go to drafts.
Mine opens the drafts folder (which is empty), then clicking "new message" also works. iPhone 11.

Thanks for teaching me a new function! One I'll forget very quickly as I don't use drafts anyway. I type, I click "send", it's gone :)

Apologize if I missed that in the last few pages but has anyone faced some respring (black screen crash with a spinning wheel and back to home screen) on this beta?

Never had any at all in the last 3 betas, i'm getting 1 to 2 a day on B4 (even after an IPSW restore just to try and multiple resets). I'm unsure what cause it, sometimes it's when you get this popup to fill in a password and ask you which app to use, sometimes it's just swaping between apps.. very weird.

Nope. Not one respring since iOS 16b1.
Using an IP12 👍🏼

Same here after installing b4 on my 13PM, but after restart iPhone is functioning normally.

The first time a new album is loaded, it takes a while to fetch the album artwork.

But at least here, time is displayed in a "new way", I've not seen before ....

Should only ask you when an app automatically copies your pasteboard

Not when a user chooses to paste themselves, because it is redundant
Maybe it is also restricting auto pasting by the app in the background, apart from asking user confirmation while being pasted intentionally.

I had this on last beta, but not this one so far.

I agree. The entire layout in the new lock screen just wastes so much space. I hope they tweak it some more before final release.

I’m going to withhold judgement on that until I see the always on screen setup with the 14 models that get it.

yesterday the autonomy of my iphone 13 pro was spectacular. but ever since i updated my series 7 to beta 4, pandora's box has opened. in the watch the battery drain is random, as soon as it spends 12% in 4 hours, as it is two hours consuming 3%. On the iPhone I have also seen that autonomy has suffered from yesterday to today, and the only change was the installation of beta 4 on the watch. in fact, when the watch has a more normal behavior, the iphone also behaves in this aspect in the appropriate way. I reset the clock this morning, and I have done several restarts, two forced, and now it seems to have some stability, I will update the iphone with ipsw again, but now I see why they did not launch beta 4 on the clock, something has been touched and they have spoiled. Until beta 3 it worked better than in watchos 8. Last night I didn't record the sleep data either, I hope it's just a one-off error, but given what I see, I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't.
 
Checked again last night, and I get no keyboard haptics. Even toggled both haptics back and forth. Funny thing is I get haptics when I toggle the settings :)
 
This just makes no sense to me. Why give users the option for widgets then turn around and force them to use one of those widgets to see charging progress at a quick glance…?

Not really looking for an answer from you, just venting 🤣
Yes espcially when you can only see the % in the two wide, and you only have four slots already.They need to add more widget rows. At least I have my widget screen I just swipe right to for the actual % for all devices
