iOS 16 Beta 5 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[iFone88]

It's been so long without a battery % indicator that I don't actually ever remember having it?

Note to all:

As usual, lots of problems on here I’m not seeing. Try reinstalling the beta with the IPSW file from your DEV account.

On a Mac:

Download the IPSW file + make an encrypted back up (you don’t need it but it’s good practise) + hold option key down + click on “check for update“ button + select the IPSW file… install!

Phone will reinstall, update or downgrade the iOS, without losing data the same way a OTA performs. Takes 10 minutes and we’ll worth it for the host of little bugs it clears up from reinstalling all your files.

Not impressed with the battery life so far. Seems to be draining very quickly. Had this issue with the previous beta as well.

Not noticing anything apparent yet. Try a couple of hard restarts or reinstall, using offload, any apps that have high usage.

When charging is on hold at 80% the graph no longer shows the paused symbol. There is just a gap in the charging. View attachment 2040806

That's only because your gap is too narrow. The pause symbol is still there.

Or perhaps a nudge/reason to shell out $1500 for a new phone with the amazing capability to show a percentage in a battery icon. I am sure there are some who would wait for days in line to get a phone with such a feature. 😂

I have an iPhone 11, which (still) doesn't have the battery % in the statusbar thingy. However, I don't miss it. If I really need to know the percentage I just slide down by a few mm from the top right and there it is.

I tend to charge the battery each night and it doesn't run out the next day.

Sigh Still getting the same crashes on B5 on iPadOS where it goes to black screen and spinning icon and the same weird stretching-black bar bug when you enable low power mode on the pull down notification center.

Oh what the hell…just realized that the new “copy & delete” option when taking screenshots actually dumps the deleted screenshot into the Files app.

I thought it would just delete the screenshot like you would any other way. Lame.

I've just tested this, and the pic didn't end up anywhere in Files.

Am I pushing it to ask for both the number and the visual representation of battery levels at the same time? I like having the number there, but the visual is a lot easier lol.

Wait, where? I don't see it on my phone.

The keyboard haptics are fixed now. But I don’t have the option to copy and delete a screen shot.

Report it. It happens.

What? That’s got to be a bug. Where specifically is it dumping them?

You were saying?

F*** that.
That crusade is over

I doubt they’ll do that. The changeover from light to dark where the indicator is will not play well with the numbers, especially if the dividing line splits a number.

I love this new visualizer effect in the music player. Also I can say I’m happy with 10% usage after using my phone for 2 hrs straight while connecting to 5G.

Is it me or the height of the progress bar and the volume have returned to what it was before Beta 4?

I'm confused....what does it do?

 

[iFone88]

On the widgets, i wish you could put a two-space widget in the middle with two one-space widgets either side.

Felt guilty.
Just posted a quick note. 😜🥰
Sounds like a few people need a good old reinstall on here. My 12 is running so sweet.

Champion !!! Not seeing any of the bugs being reported at this time either.. 🐑🐑🐑

It moves around with the music .. its a visual thing..

Interesting. My screenshots appear in the “Downloads” folder every time. iPhone 13 mini.

EDIT: it appears that taking screenshots within Safari causes the screenshot to be sent to my “Downloads” folder within the Files app. Taking screenshots outside of Safari do not get saved. If someone could test this out: take a screenshot of a website within Safari, select “copy & delete,” and then see if the screenshot shows up in your Downloads folder.

Except for the wallpapers issue on the iPads this is flawless on my iPad Pro. OTA as usual, seamless.

Yep same , I just duplicated what you said… safari screenshots go to Files folder 👍🏼

Wonder if that’s a bug or if that’s intended… I’m certainly not a fan.
