There was a backdoor way to do this in the first beta (involved unflagging a hidden setting that provided access to the ios style fonts). Its been taken away. Afraid we'll have to wait until the new lockscreen tech is enabled in iPadOS.
Got a tip for us?

Hopefully beta 6 fixes that vulnerability on the iPhone / iPadOS.
Yikes! I wish Apple could have at least enabled font changing for iPad home screens as well, similar to how it has been done with iOS. Let’s hope they mange to bring it in before iPadOS is released to all, at least to have some sort of a feature parity between iOS and iPadOS 16.
I have joined the beta with an OTA update last Sunday, 14 Aug, followed up by another OTA beta on Monday. My 12 mini is as cool as they can get, with a battery life almost on pair with 15.6. Since you mention it was off overnight, perhaps it was backing itself up to iCloud on the background while you were browsing and reading your emails? Some other people here were also mentioning problems with some ad-blocks.
Have you tried looking under Settings > Battery to see what kind of an app might be using it most?
Yes to the battery drain, not the black box.
I’ve always been able to reliably predict how long my battery will last on iOS 15 but this beta is definitely draining it much faster. Even in airplane mode or with Wi-Fi and Mobile Data off, it’s drained completely by the time I’m home from work, where I’d have around 20% on iOS 15.
iCloud backup was completed around 2am so I know it wasn’t that, it’s possible a rogue app isn’t helping but battery isn’t suggesting anything in particular, it’s mainly just safari being used.
Good to know re the ad blockers, I’ll keep an eye on it. I’m using 1Blocker in case anyone experiencing similar issues wants to know!
Highly unlikely, I think. Will more likely be for iPadOS 17, with maybe an outside shot of coming in a point release (I’d give that about a 10% chance of happening)
Oh, I'm sorry, I think I got you wrong - I have wrist down notification disabled so I don't see any at all in that situation. And that works as expected.
What are your exact settings and what is expected behavior? Does it happen with all apps or only iMessage?
Am I the only one whose Music app isn't showing a progress bar like the controls on the lockscreen do?
Thanks!
No progress indicator in the music app:

The progress bar isn’t displayed in the up next view in music. It is displayed in album art and lyric view though.
Yes my iPhone 12 Pro Max is also getting crazy hot from only surfing the web. The center of the back is burning hot and I can watch the percent drop by the minute.
I installed the previous beta via IPSW from scratch, without restoring from a backup and updated to the latest beta via OTA
For what it’s worth, the feedback app shows more than 10 reported cases
@tristianh
Never realised that. I hardly use the app though. Thanks!

I think I just discovered a serious bug.
Steps to reproduce:
EDIT: Took me 2 hours but finally got the devices signed in.
EDIT 2: I’m still getting prompts to enter password on my iPhone and Watch occasionally even after 8 hours. Driving me nuts!
Steps to reproduce:
- Change iCloud password on your iPhone
- Sign out of all devices after the password change
- Try signing into other Apple devices using the new password
- Unable to sign into my iCloud account on my iPad Air, ATV 4K, 14" MBP despite repeated attempts.

I’ve posted several times over the last few betas about a big where my screen is randomly locking itself, despite the auto-lock setting being set to “never” - I am now on beta 6 and it is STILL happening.
There is a somewhat similar bug people were reporting where iOS is ignoring whatever amount of time they have their auto-lock set to, and just not locking the screen when it’s supposed to. Is this still happening in beta 6 too?
Some people claimed it was fixed and that my “randomly locking” issue would probably be resolved too since it’s affected by similar code.

Just fine for me. No issues. Battery is good.
Seems a little better than iPadOS 15.6 to me, but I’m not honestly seeing any differences between the two on my 2018 iPad Pro.
Mindfulness, quality podcast that. Nothing to be ashamed of there buddy. He’s helped my wife’s anxiety no end. 😍
We believe you. Not going to try and replicate that thanks, sounds horrendous 😆😂
I don’t believe Apple has officially announced a delay but I also don’t think the tech journos and blogs who posted that it would be delayed made that up or are running with an unverified story. In fact, it was probably leaked to them by Apple so there wouldn’t be an uproar at the iPhone event when it will probably be formally announced as delayed.
Wouldn’t it be wiser to delay only Stage Manager?
I thought that was the main “culprit” of iPadOS’ delay.
Non-M1 iPadOS is already designed to work without Stage Manager.
