iOS 6 Beta 3: New Features & Improvements Thread

[batting1000]

While holding focus on photo or video cam you can actually lock it. Also typing is more accurate.

Nothing new. You can do the look in iOS 5. Not sure if it was present in iOS 4.

iCloud now also syncs Passbook

also everything seems way more responsive on my iPhone 4

Nothing new. iCloud synced Passbook passes prior to beta 3.

it worked for me on beta 1, you had to sign out of imessage on both devices (not turn off, actually sign out your account), then sign in on the iPad, then the iPhone, the iPad then pops up with the message about adding phone number. took me a few goes over an hour on beta 1, but it worked eventually.

How do you sign out of imessage? I only see a toggle for turning it on or off

VIP Inboxes on iPod Touch 4

Perhaps they're going back on their statement? I have VIP inboxes on my iPod Touch 4. What I really want though is the flagged inboxes

 

[riay388]

Awesome! I wanted that!

You can't really get a pic of it. There's just a Passbook toggle in the iCloud settings.

oh, ok.

How are we supposed to make a picture of passbook sync? When you have 5 passes on your iPhone, you'll also have them on your iPad. Do you want a picture showing the same passes on an iPhone and an iPad?

Maps is sloooooow!

no... lol just the toggle..

iMessage - Unified FINALLY!

I turned off iMessages on my iPhone and iPad and quit it on my MBP, then opened it up on the iPad first, then the iPhone then finally on my MBP and I got this a few mins later

How did you turn it off on your MBP? Is it enough to tick away "Enable this account" in the Messages app in Mountain Lion?

 

[M.a.r.k.]

there you go, nothing exciting to see really...

"Change with buttons" switch in sounds is that new?

So what's best to do after unifying them? Should I remove my email and only use my phone number for iMessages?

 

[riay388]

Yeah, as far as I know, nobody sends me iMessages to my email address, just my phone number.
