Off topic Came home to this young Jedi last night. The force is strong in this one, well, his rolling over and pulling himself up on the sofa to stand is - 7 months. We think he will skip crawling.

MacRumors Pearlet is doing just fine.

My 13 Pro has been working great on the latest beta, except this morning I woke up to a dead phone. Had it on the magsafe charger overnight, and it wouldn't turn on. Thought it was bricked, but I tried a hard-reset and it turned on with 100% battery life. Weird

Oddly this morning I had a couple of duplicates in Contacts. had iOS 16 fix that - all seemed well.
I took this opportunity to remove some old contacts that are no longer used. That is when I saw that some contacts have one thumbnail for display and another when you open the contact. including mine. Mine you can see in the Contacts itself

The thumbnail in the list is an old one and I cannot see where it can be accessed or edited. Changing the one in the Contact itself does not seem affect the other. Can definitely see it in Messages.

Annoying little bugs.

I thought you can remove duplicates only on macOS. How do you remove duplicates using iOS ?
 
It appears that Personal Hotspot still drops connection with my IP13PM a minute or three after the phone goes to sleep…. Started on b5, continued behavior on b6…
Same issue here. If I change the screen auto lock to "Never" it stays connected. But my laptop will drop the connection once the phone goes to sleep

Once upon a time there lived a small file called IPSW. He had a neighbour who was very mean called OTA… 😆😂

Just to start him off early to take over my rain 😆😂

In Contacts app in iOS16 there is an option if duplicate are detected that allows this.
Since beta 2 it has worked pretty well.

Now, it shows up like this banner where you can dismiss it compared to previous beta but not sure which beta since this change

I have had the same problem on both My iPhone 12 Pro Max and my iPad Pro 12.9. Random freezes followed by me frantically pressing buttons for a hard-reset, and they start right back up as if nothing happened.

Hope this is the right place. So on watchOS 9 beta, the notifications are a bit weird. So I get the new top banner when unlocked, but I do not like when your wrist is down with the always on display, the notifications now so a preview. I don’t want the preview, and on my phone have no previews on iMessages and few other apps. All I can see that can be changed is no previews unless you tap. That’s not a fix to me. Is there a way to go back to how it was in previous watchOS versions?

Seems to work correctly on mine. Check if your settings are right on the iPhone in the Watch app under Notifications -> show notifications on wrist down.

So yours doesn’t show a preview of the message when you wrist is down? It just shows who you got the iMessage from?
 
My iPhone 12 Mini is extremely hot running this beta. Joined the beta OTA from 15.6 on Tuesday.
- No case on the phone
- Charged to 100%, switched off all morning, switched on to browse a few website and read emails, within 15 mins I could barely hold the phone.

Anyone else noticing heat issues?

I’ve submitted a report through feedback.

Mine was with Private Relay enabled. Now it's fine... also logged out and back into iCloud. Not sure which helped, but Private Relay was causing me issues since 15.6

Good to know, thanks. I’ve never used private relay but I’ll try and sign out and back into iCloud!
 
Is there a way to change this chunky clock display font in iPadOS PB4, as this can be done in iOS 16? Have tried pressing on the Home Screen and looked through the Settings, but no luck? It is massive as it comes out of the box on a 10.9” screen!

Are you also noticing extreme battery drain? How about a dialog box that appears as a black box on the screen? This seems to be a relatively common scenario.
