No, not working for me.
All you need to do is enable it in Settings in Yosemite and the same on iOS 8 right? Nothing else? It's the first time I've tried it out.
Quick Reply Bug
Can anyone confirm that the Quick Reply SMS bug where you could not access the bottom row of the keyboard, has been fixed in Beta 5?

Not sure if this is just a problem I'm having, since no one else is posting. I'm running the Yosemite PB and just updated my phone to iOS 8 b5... Since I updated my phone and "allowed" SMS relay to my Mac, every iMessage I sent from the Messages app on my Mac ends up getting sent as a text message. I don't know how that would relate to updating to b5, but it worked fine before and now it doesn't. Anyone else?
Ok, at least I'm not alone. Yeah, I'm pretty sure nothing else is required.
Jealous. What kind of Mac/iDevice combo are you using?
That's a good thing.
I was experiencing a lot of bugs in beta 4, not major ones but little bits here and there which were annoying. They all seem to have been fixed with beta 5 so yeah, I'm happy with this update.
Didn't work for me when I updated to the latest Betas. This worked for me though:
1. Log out of iCloud on one device, log back in, then again on the other device.
If it still doesn't work:
2. Disable Handoff on both devices, and then restart the devices. Then re-enable handoff on the devices.
It should work now.
Handoff suddenly started working for me in beta 4 although you need to make sure that your iOS 8 beta version matches your OS X developer version. So iOS 8 beta 4 works with OS X Developer Preview 4 and iOS 8 beta 5 works with OS X Developer Preview 5 etc.
They also fixed SMS in DP5 so you can send texts from your Mac now. In DP4 it just disregarded the message and never sent it. But yeah you might need to toggle the options a few times and keep trying. I've found though that (hopefully so far...) once it finally starts working then you're fine.
Here it is. Its blurred the screen dynamically rather than overlaying a pre blurred screenshot.
Edit: This is just as you start pulling down on the screen for spotlight.
And yet you started this thread.
JUST STARTED, my ipad and my iphone are still on 7.1.2

How is the performance on the 4s though?
WiFi still dies randomly
I'll just gurgle quietly in frustration that my pet bug - random death of WiFi - remains in b5, on my iPad Air. With any luck, there'll be an automatic enquiry from Apple's bug tracker, soon, asking if it's still there, as was the case after b4 debuted.
(It did at least take a couple hours this time, but, it's been very unpredictable in the past, taking anywhere up to that long, down to within a minute of restarting, and everywhere in between)

Little bit slower than 7.1.2, definitely usable.
