Receiver seeing the changes if they are on iOS 16 too? Up to now if you sent to someone not on the iOS 16 beta they would see both the original and edited message.
The screenshot is iOS 16. So the receiver on iOS 16 can see all changes if he want to. You have to press the blue text under the message „edited“. You can hide the changes by pressing the blue text „hide edits“ again.

Interesting, this is not the case for me.

no issue here.

Mine is my wallpaper, but there is definitely a blur.

Mine blurs initially but then just goes to a slightly darkened version of the wallpaper.

I tried a hard restart and still no blur on the tabs screen background. Obviously, not a major issue in the scheme of beta testing, but I’ll be reporting it and sharing screenshots.

the shutdown menu is seen with a completely transparent background, right? at least yes to me, and it is very annoying for the eyes with my background haha
I’m seeing this too… they must have touched something related to the system graphics around blur/transparency.
 
So they made changes to iMessage per an article I just read:
- time to unsend a message reduced to 2 minutes from the previous 15
- limit to number of times you can edit a message (5)
- all edits are written to a "log" and are visible to BOTH sender and recipient?

What's point of being able to edit a message if the recipient can see the edit? At that point you can just type a fresh message to correct your message...

What am I missing here?
That's the first thing I wondered too. And does it wait for two minutes to send the original if no edits are made?

No it sends it right away. iOS 16 devices have support for receiving edits to iMessage texts (or delete requests) that can alter a message after it is received. Previous iOS version devices are „immune“ to text unsending and edits.

You can now customize the appearance of the Home Screen half of the lock screen/Home Screen pair, including blur

This was there before only from the lockscreen customization and not accessible from the Wallpaper menu in Settings. Now it's working there as well.

By default the receiver doesn‘t see the edits. He can only see the lates version of the edited message. But he can show all edits by pressing the „Edits“ text under the message.

It can be important if someone was offended by a message or worse. This way he can still prove afterwards what the original message was.
 
But will the receipient still know you unsent even if they weren't actively in Messaging at the time. Then what's the point of unsend at all??? And what's the point of editing if they know? Just retyoe or send the correction with an *
Yes, but they won't see the content. I'm referring to sending a message to the wrong person. Been there, done that!

Then don't have edit/unsend. I could most likely retype quicker than edit. Unless it was a huge message which I don't do. Emails are for long messages
 
Siri hasn’t worked on my iPhone Pro 13 with DB3 for the last few days at least (it worked on my Apple Watch with the latest beta).

It still doesn’t work with DB4. I don’t know if this is beta-specific or a more wide spread issue.
 
With iOS 16, is the option still available to “darken” your wallpaper when dark mode is enabled? I can’t seem to find it anywhere.

I would assume this would be a way for if someone was in an abusive relationship or something to have record of it. With that being said, editing messages because you made a typo is dumb and would take more time than simply typing *with the correction.

No it is not dumb. Just because you prefer a different way of doing this does not make the other ways “dumb”.

As a matter of principle, I get really annoyed that we don’t get some good features because some people out there abuse them. I get it but that doesn’t make me less annoyed about it.
 
Can anyone see activity badges on beta 4? I don't seem to have them showing at all, I assume it will sort itself once everything processes.

Same here. Also still have an issue with Visual Voicemail not showing the transcripted message. Has been that way since beta 1.
