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

[papbot]

That’s how iOS 16 works. If they came down from the top your widgets would be masked.

What happens if there are no widgets on the Lock Screen? On my iPad Pro on 16.1 notifications are exactly where they’ve always been. My phone is still on 15.6.1.

So is there a way at all to have notifications the old fashioned way? Right now I have no widgets selected, so maybe that way I can have notifications all the way to the top?

 

[scouser75]

Yeah, I think the only way to "Fix" that would be to stay on iOS 15

Doh!

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

I have both M1 and A chip iPads and all are on iOS 16.1 with latest beta.

There are settings to adjust how notifications are displayed on the Lock Screen, with “list” being the closest option to previous versions of iOS, however they will still come in from the bottom. No way to have them come in from the top anymore…

Open the Youtube App -> Play a Video -> Open an other App from the Dock -> the Youtube Video will play in PiP.
Now you can return to the Homescreen and the Video is still playing in PiP

Auto PiP.
That works.

I can't seem to get them to group by app. I have it set to "list," and group by app, but it is still several steps: tap the notification, then it expands into separate notifications for however many messages I have from that app, then it taps through to the app itself. Yuck.

I’ve had keyboard haptics turned on throughout the whole beta experience, but they’re very weak on Beta 7. Boo.

I've never even had the keyboard haptics. But I did notice the haptics when I toggle the setting were much weaker this time.

Dynamic wallpapers only seem to rotate through the same few photos? Kind of boring tbh I have over 30k photos! Mix it up

Noticed that too. And why is it just my wife and some pets? Is there a way to use more?

I think it might be the (new?) setting under Photos / show highlighted material (uncheck). Not sure though, haven’t tried.

Well b7 seems to have fixed the Personal Hotspot constantly disconnecting between my IP13 PM and MacBook Air M2.
Thank you Apple!!

Ram management better on ios 16?

13 Pro Max

Messages.
For Contacts with custom ring tomes, some messages are triggering more than 1 ring alert. Getting 2 rings frequently and 3 occasionally. These seem to be for SMS/MMS and not iMessage.

App Manager.
Suspect issue with RAM Manager. Seeing more frequent Safari Tab reloads and app frequently reload. Happening more often than beta 5 or 6.

Have had the screen freeze twice on me now inside of an app so I cannot tell if it the app or the OS. Branium Freecell and PDF Expert Pro.

I don't think you need to post it on every page. If no one answers, that's because no one knows

Are you going to the right place? Keyboard haptics have worked for me since the first beta. General > Sounds & Haptics > Keyboard Feedback

@compwiz1202

Settings > Sound & Haptics > Keyboard Feedback
Haptics are very light and almost non-existent.

13 ProMax.

 

[dk001]

Yeah…I don’t know what’s happening to me then. Maybe a bug? Here’s a screenshot *OF* a screenshot, and this is still 3.8mb, and a cropped screenshot at that.

My screenshots on 13 ProMax are PNG and most are 7-9 MB in size.
Bigger than others I have in Photos. Those were 3-4 MB. From previous iOS 16 betas.

Do you know where I can get the IPSW file?

 

[JemTheWire]

Is iPadOS PB out? My iPad is saying no update.

 

[dk001]

I think it has something to do with the new cutout feature. Any screenshot that has an image is trying to preserve as much detail as possible or trying to save the original image source as part of the screenshot.
Try taking a screenshot of something with just text. It should be around 1MB range as expected.

I just did a screenshot of white text on a black background and it was 264kb.
Sounds like you are correct. Thx!!
