Under manage storage i miss backup options for my devices. It's a bug? I can't control what to backup and what to exclude (like camera roll). Same for you?
 
Not sure if others are experiencing this problem but I got a few apps on my home screen which clicking on it doesn't respond, it just stays there.

And I'm unable to remove/install them.
 
Is anyone facing issue with wifi on ios 9 beta 2 ?? Though my phone shows that it is connected to my network I am unable to browse internet. Some apps are reporting no internet connectivity. Facebook app says retrying lost connection while at the same time I am able to browse through facebook on other devices. And this happened in different places (office, home and friend's place) which shows that the issue is not with the router or network.
 
Anyone have Lighting to VGA Adapter problem? When I attach it will show "Downloading accessory firmware. Your accessory will not function until the download completes."
Does anyone know how to solve this problem? Thanks in advance.
 
The clock is still broken when playing music :<

Also, iTunes Radio currently has a bug where after the song finishes, the audio pauses, meaning after every song and ad you have to manually choose to resume playing :<
Quite annoying. And I also see clock broken on my iPhone as well.

Wifi issue? Cellular issue?
 
Also having wifi issues on both my iPhone and iPad Air 2. Rebooting fixes it for a while but eventually it stops working and toggling airplane mode does not help. I upgraded from 8.3 so that may be related. Might try a fresh install later.

Clock isn't broken. Press the home button once, the clock comes back. Press it again, it goes away. Same feature/issue on iOS 8.
 
The Siri photos context is very buggy.

"Show Photos" and "Show pictures" always show pictures AND videos in Photos. While "Show videos" always show videos. There should be a way to show only pictures.
  • "Show photos from" often shows photos from Bing and not Photos.
  • "Show Photos" and "Show pictures" always show pictures AND videos in Photos. While "Show videos" always show videos. There should be a way to show only pictures.
  • Family relations from contact does not work, I can say call mom, but not show photos of mom. SIRI does not know what mom is in this regard.
  • "Start slideshow of photos from Spain" does not work (not sure if it was ever planned, but seems like a good idea)
  • Keywords does not work easily; "Show photos from _LOCATION_ with _PERSON1_ and _PERSON2_ swimming(keyword)
  • Often it won´t show all the photos in the query, it seems random "Show pictures from spain" might show 5 photos one time and 500 the next
  • It does not seem to search geolocation very well, country and city it picks but not region. Example a vacation to Gran Canaria, you can´t say Gran Canaria but you have to use Spain.
  • Any queries with say vacation or christmas only works in the last year. I can´t say "show photos from christmas in 2010"
  • And often the query just ends up showing the wrong content which is a bug and not a mistake from my side. Its rather useless in beta 2, and Apple got a ton of work laid out for them.
And the Photos App there are a few bugs or issues.
  • There is no way to edit a slowmo video as I can see. The new layout prohibits this.
  • If iCloud Photos Library with "optimise storage" setting enabled, there is no way to download a full album.
  • Even with a ton of storage, Photos use relatively little space for a large collection. I have 100GB free space, and still photos only want to use say 10GB (my photos collection is 300GB). Which means I can´t store many slideshows of full photos or single full photos. It´s rather useless I would say, as it´s just a huge database with really small "thumbnails". I can´t show people slideshows, pictures without a lot of downloading lag or even favorites. If you download a little to few, it will disregard the older ones you downloaded fullsize.
  • Search is a complete mess at this point. Natural language queries rarely work.

All in all, I´m not very impressed with where Photos v1.1 and IOS9 is taking photos, I like the idea but the implementation is so far off it´s hard to see this will end up working properly in the final version. Hopefully Apple will put a lot of effort into Photos/Siri Photos Context in the coming months before 9 hits the web.

Queries I would like to see working in IOS 9:
"Show videos" only videos
"Show pictures" only pictures
"Show pictures of my brother"
"Show pictures of my daugther smiling and dancing" (smiling / danving are keywords)
"Show photos from Spain in 2010 with my daughter and mother"
"Start slideshow from our last vacation"
"find picture of me from 2008 driving motorcycle"
"Show photos of my mother and daughter together dancing"
"Show photos of myself my mother my daughter and brother together"


And in iCloud Photo Library I would like to see more of a iTunes Match way of working in terms of what is stored locally or not. Let me download an album at once. Let me store what I want offline as long as I have enough space. The way it works now is simply not good. It´s all a bunch of compressed thumbnails with very hard to get big photos. I can´t have 300GB of photos on my phone but I don´t want to be restricted to 10GB either as I have over 100GB free space.

I used to have wifi issues from iOS 8.X onwards.. Turning off Wi-Fi networking helped a lot.

Yes, there have been weird issues with iCloud backups in beta 1 and 2. Devices don't recognize their own backups... When you go into manage storage and look at backups one should say 'this iphone' and that's the one that you can use to edit your settings, but that's not happening with the current betas. Until a day or two ago you couldn't delete iCloud backups either, but that's been resolved now.

I would better retain current state. Don't pollute my iCloud backup. Otherwise I will feel painful, all the time. :)

See how the big clock isn't there?

Clicking the home button brings up music controls. Clicking it again SHOULD bring up the standard large clock, but it doesn't.
