Need beta 5, ugh. Disappearing widgets and rebooting is getting annoying.
The biggest annoyance for me is app icons going blank in Spotlight search the moment they get updated. It's been a problem since Dev B2, B3 and still B4. Really hope 5 fixes this one; the only fix for now is a reboot, which is annoying. At least typing "restart" into Spotlight search or just asking Siri to restart the iPhone makes it quick.

Anyone else have a bug where taking a photo with zoom, then clicking the preview of the photo at the bottom left and returning to the camera by swiping down, the zoom remains selected at the zoom level but the zoom level reverts to 1?

Just tried on my 17 Pro and didn’t experience this bug with zoom at 2x, 4x or 8x
 
I’ve had a weird “bug” or something going on since B4. I randomly get “SOS” and no signal. Restart does nothing and reset network does nothing. My wife had signal (literally standing next to me) on her iPhone 15 and we have the same plan. By mistake it resolved when I updated apps from the ap store as soon as the first app started to download.

I like to imagine there's someone at Apple responsible for this, and their goal is "break it sufficiently such that they're no longer able to type out their complaints about the keyboard".
Sounds about right 😂

I hadn’t had too many keyboard issues the last couple betas but here lately it’s been horrendous and autocorrect stops working/completely disappears half the time.
 
My iPhone decided from nowhere I’m under 18 yo and requires me to do an age check on Apple Account and asking for a credit card number - WTF?
My point is - I know Apple already knows everything about me, but now are they officialy asking for my credit card info to decide if I can install Reddit? (Yes, if you don’t want to go through this process, you won’t be able to install some apps and all installed browsers are locked into safe content mode).

Get a mastercard/visa gift card - transfer it to your Amazon balance (leaving it at $0 value) and use that card for "registration" 🙂. Works with other sites that require a credit card for free accounts.

I’m experiencing this too and find it super annoying.

It’s a beta, bugs like this are what I signed up for. Still, I’ll be happy when it’s fixed.

Has anyone gotten this to work? On an iPhone 17 Pro Max with latest beta and my screen still times out when viewing notifications on the lockscreen.

I’m referring to the Siri voice models
I see. I'm not aware of a way to remove those, but you're working with less than 3GB for all 11 American and British voices.

Siri's Expressive Voices aren’t separate foundation models. They all rely on the shared com.apple.fm.language.instruct_3b.base model for the underlying generation capability. Then for each voice, the OS downloads a natural.premium TTS bundle. That's in the 200-300MB range per voice. The Pace and Expressivity options come from a preset file containing parameters that steer the voice generation.

Yeah, I still want the bulk of that <3GB back

I’m on 17 pro max dev beta 4 and mine doesn’t turn off when scrolling notis. You said viewing which means not touching it. It says scrolling which means touch.
My screen still times out when dealing with notifications. Super annoying and I really hope this is actually included in B5.

No we’re talking about the lock screen.
Yes I tested this after reading the original complaint by locking the phone, tapping it, not unlocking it and scrolling lock screen notifications and my screen stays on the entire time. Did anyone try messing with lock screen time out settings or lock screen settings in general to see if it triggers the update of not turning off.
