iOS 7 Beta 3 Tidbits: New App Download Animation, Thicker Fonts, Safari Improvements

Settings->Text Size will allow you to change the size of the text for messaging, emails and apps that take advantage of dynamic type.
 
Now a clock icon in control center that looks like the LG logo. And the only thing ever relevant for me in a control center, fast wifi terhering, is not there. The rest is almost useless for me.

I am hoping they change Spotlight back to the usual swipe right to activate.

Having to "top" swipe down for the Notification Center, and "middle" swipe down for Spotlight is getting highly annoying, because I never get what I'm swiping for.

Perhaps I use it more than most, mainly to launch apps that are in folders on pages 2 and beyond.

Why change it?

I think the benefit of the new way is that you no longer have to go to your first page of apps and then swipe. You can access Spotlight on ANY app page now.
 
Still one "unread" message...

It's a funny bug, but I've had one "unread message" for quite some time now! I deleted all my messages, and the badge is hanging around. Even now, after the Beta 3 update.

I use spotlight a ton and I got used it. I am just glad the keyboard appears instantly now.
 
I'm not for sure if it's just because I don't have a clean install or if this is because of this beta update, but hitting the home button twice doesn't bring up music controls. You have to access these this feature through control center.

Cheers!

Wrong.

The blue circle simply means the app has been updated but not been opened yet.

I doubt this. The Twitter app is one of my most used apps.

And it has not been updated since last few days. I used it just before updating to iOS7 Beta 3 actually.

So, unless I am missing something completely... I think its something different.
 
Lock Screen Clock

Also, when you wake the device, the clock appears without anything else on the screen for about half a second before everything else loads in. It's quite nice when glancing at the time.

Did this work with previous betas of iOS7? Cause it never did for me. I always had to use the Control Center.

Correction: I guess Twitter had auto updated. Version 5.8 was released earlier today....

It just got an update today and got probably auto-updated.

Edit: To late

Anyone know how to play ALL songs by a particular artist, noy just those in a single album? In iOS 6, there's an "All Albums" choice, but in iOS, I can only listen to one album at a time.
Click to expand...

Start at song #1 i guess. It's just split up by album in that view. Unless I'm missing something...

EDIT: Oh, I am....It doesn't continue on to the next song does it? That's pretty stupid.

Sign out of iMessage or Reset All Settings.

are the icons still ugly?

If they do change stock icons, they'll wait to unveil those in the GM. Otherwise...

- Beta 3: Changed icons. - "Wow they're even worse than before!"

- Beta 4: Changed icons. - "OMG are you kidding me?!?"

- Beta 5: Changed icons. - **Gouges eyes out**

;)
 
iPhone 5 Batery worsens with Beta 3 (for me)

My battery has been acting strangely. It would drain VERY rapidly with iOS 7.
Now with beta 3 it's just sucked the life out of it.
Right now, the iPhone's connected to my iMac and there is absolutely nothing going on; no Apple logo, no battery charging, no sign that it's on at all - just a black screen. Bricked.
iOS7 bricked my iPhone.
Dead.
