iOS 16 Beta 7 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[Pearsey]

So the phones are “a” and the iPads are “f”. Not confusing at all😃

iPads on ios16.1 that’s why. I think from what I’ve seen on here.

 

[Reeneman]

What are they playing at. This weird it hasn’t been fixed a few betas ago.

Same here. But it only happens with safari screenshots right?

 

[TimFL1]

I hope the next beta fixes the issue where the Home app picks the wrong Home that‘s a few Kilometers away (it keeps defaulting to my parents home here with location switching turned on). At least the Feedback app says there‘s a potential fix incoming.

Still not fixed… bet this makes it to the RC build…

 

[gwhizkids]

Wow, that is interesting. Nice catch.

It’s the same build for all iPads, regardless of processor, it appears.

My hunch is still that the non-M1 iPads will get a 16.0 when iOS 16.0 drops and that the M1 iPads will continue on the beta track. Maybe we hit beta 12 or 13 for those (though my guess is that they will restart the numbering beginning today).

 

[gwhizkids]

Oddly enough, on my phone, it showed up as just iOS 16.0 (without any beta terminology), so if I were a betting man, I'd say this is the version that's being loaded onto the new iPhones in production right now. That and it's also an "a" build. Obviously it says "beta" in the text description, but I think it would usually show "Beta 7" to the right of "16.0"?

They dropped the “beta” language in beta 6.

Anyone seen these

Yes

We saw that in beta 1/2, it’s part of the copying an object.

One of my iPhone’s is on Beta 5 (I forgot to update it) and I get it:View attachment 2046332

All I am getting on beta 6 is “Copy” and “Share” as a dialog bubble not a dialog box. I’ll see if that changes when I update to 7 in a few moments.

That screenshot is from Beta 5 and it’s the same on my Beta 6 device too.

 

[ManuCH]

So should we expect iPadOS 16 Beta 7 to be "beta 1 quality" as they now shifted the build and will likely be adding new features?

 

[SpecMode]

They dropped the “beta” language in beta 6.

It's been gone for a while longer than that, at least on everything I'm running betas on except watchOS (the "16.0" is likely either Settings/Software Update reading the wrong string from the update server feed or the beta update server feed having the wrong value where the "iOS 16 Developer Beta xx" string is supposed to be). I'm pretty sure I've been seeing this behavior since beta 3.

 

[Roque1128]

Anyone having issues with the news widget not working both on home and lockscreen? They are blank on both for me even after reboot and removing and re-adding.

It’s not adding new features, it’s getting Stage Manager sorted, so no, it’s not going to be ‘beta 1 quality’.

It’s not adding new features, it’s getting a stage Manager sorted, so no, it’s not going to be ‘beta 1 quality’.

It's not just the state manager, as Safari is on 16.1 as well now. I think that this is essentially the first iOS / iPadOS 16.1 Beta and will be released at the same time for iOS and iPadOS in October.

Think is was already gone for me on 4. I defintely remember it there for 3 when I first entered the beta.

I think this is correct. They just jumped it forward to get a start on it for at least the M1 iPads. The rest will join either right after the RC is released or, most likely, the day after the public release of iOS 16.

Im not sure what Safari has to do with this & of course it’s the first beta for 16.1 as it’s labelled as such.

I think you’re missing the point in my reply to the other person, answering their question, that we’re not going to see any new features and the stability lf the beta is going to be better than a usual Beta 1.

And me (if the fd app finally works, or if they release an update soon)

 

[gforce216]

iPadOS 16.1 seems to have totally broken PiP for 3rd party apps.

M1 iPad users: after updating, could one of you post a screenshot of your Settings>General >About screen showing the iOS version number?

 

[sbailey4]

As long as they’re being released together, I don’t see why separate threads would be necessary. After all, it should be apparent about which software version one is talking depending on which type of device they’re using.

Except they are not. iPadOS has been delayed according to several articles and posts.

So the phones are “a” and the iPads are “f”. Not confusing at all😃

Different devices and OS’s. iPhone (iOS) is 16.0 and iPad OS is 16.1.

I was hoping someone who had the Amex issue with cards being removed could let me know if re-adding them didn't result in them being removed again a day or so later?

I want to add my cards back but I don't want to keep reprovisioning if they just get removed again.

Thanks 🙏

It was noted as a bug fix in the release notes

I added my Amex cards the same day that they were removed and they are still in the Wallet app. I have also updated to iOS 16 Beta 7 this afternoon and the Amex cards are still in the Wallet, thus far.
