iOS 8.3 beta 1 Bug Fixes and Changes

hope it fixes the issue where the phone doesn't let me open control centre from the lock screen

So far, it seems fixed on my 6 Plus

UI seems more fluid as well.

----------

Is the bug fixed where the status bar shows while viewing attachments in Messages? Such as...

It always says that, but it's not true. You can do a restore back to previous versions.

Does anyone else's reply box at the bottom of a message thread flash from dark grey to regular when opening a conversation?

This happens on devices with A8 too.

Oh dear God. It is so much worse on A7 iPads, it's not even a competition. In terms of UI performance (not general speed and load times) the iPad 2 and 3 utterly smash my iPad mini 2. It's all because they lack many of the translucency elements of the UI. Yes, the translucency is intensive, but it shouldn't be causing this many issues, it's insane. Why does control center work 100% smooth on the home screen (yes, two layers of translucency with the dock, ohhh nooo!!) and also safari tab view (also two layers of blur) but control center over the keyboard stutters like hell. It's terrible, problem is multiplied by two if it's a split keyboard. Oh, and for the record, if you scroll up and down a page with the regular keyboard up, it's fine. However, do this with a split keyboard and it's a good 20fps. The text input is even wayyy behind when you are typing with the split keyboard. Laggy key press animations as well. This 1 year old iPad performs like a 3 or 4 year old iPad in UI performance, but the 3 and 4 year old iPads run the UI like it's about a 1-2 years old. Not cool.

I really hope some of this stutter is relieved in 8.3. ANY improvement will be much appreciated. Optimizations need to be made. Why is blurring a keyboard any different than blurring an already blurred dock or home screen background in the Safari tab view? Makes no sense to me. Tapping the URL bar causes lag? Just bringing the keyboard up and sliding text over up top? Again, no sense.

well Yes you can roll back to a earlier version as long as it is still being signed by Apple at the roll back time.

now a number of us on 8.2 beta 4 tried to roll back to 8.1.3 and yes if you did not mind doing a clean install you were golden but it you wanted all of your apps and your messages (very important to me) intact you need to be very careful as I and many others lost their old messages and aps were wonky!

 

[sbailey4]

Ok cool thanks for clearing it up

Careful. not to 8.1 though. Only to 8.1.2 for now or only 8.1.3 soon.

 

[XTheLancerX]

Wait someone please answer - Is the WiFi calling option on Verizon too? I'd love to make WiFi calls.

Ok, good to hear it isn't just me.

Anyone else having this issue? I've attached what it looks like when you first open a conversation and then what it changes to after a split second.

Can someone send a audio note via iMessage - has the sound quality improved compared to previous iOS versions?

 

[iOSBry]

This probably isn't new but you can tap and hold an icon in a share sheet and then drag and drop the icons to rearrange them (instead of the more option).

[aziatiklover]

So they removed "Tmobile wifi calling" for the carrier branding or it is not working anymore? I have it on and it just show "Tmobile" with the wifi icon and that's it.
