Before I try this beta out, waiting for batting1000 and lagwagon's feedback on beta 2.

could someone check if quick replies from lock screen are still bugged for third party apps?

Beta 2 is still laggy with multi-tasking.

Me being confused. Thought I was in a 9.0.1 thread. But cool that they've added it. Thanks

I guess nagging them works We need to spam them to add an ability to cross-fade music, like we can on Mac/iTunes.

Show Favorites Bar is new under beta 2, I think. Honestly didn't notice it there in beta 1 when I added my content blocker.

Update feels very snappy.

What I noticed: 3rd party keyboards are still popping up, not swiping up from the bottom like the original keyboard (was fixed in iOS 9 - PB 5, came back in iOS 9 - GM and newer).

Been there since at least iOS 6 or 7.

Seems to be quite early http://osxdaily.com/2012/07/19/always-show-the-bookmarks-bar-in-safari-on-ipad/

That's an iOS 7 feature.

I think that Favorites (Bookmarks) bar was there since iOS 5 or 6.

Yes this was very frustrating for me personally. Like very.

Loading it now. 9.0.1 felt identical to 9.0.

Settings.app still opens scrolled down to airplane mode. Why is it a problem to solve it?

A trivial bug that Apple hasn't gotten around to fixing.

How can this happen for at least four releases that came afterwards..?!

maybe cause thats like the most harmless bug in a long time if not ever, theyre probably busy trying to satisify the yearly whiners about speed/battery etc. tons of other things can take priority over this, useless..bug

I'm not sure about 4 releases (unless you are talking about beta updates), but it can easily happen when there are more important issues and bugs to deal with, as there usually are with a x.0 update and a few following updates.

Although it's annoying, it doesn't effect performance or anything like that, Apple have more important bugs to fix first.

 

[hunt2013]

Not sure if feature or issue ( or if with just beta 1) but I was able to do the OTA update with 43% battery remaining versus the normal 50%. I also had power saver on.

They have been busy fixing the battery display bug that was skipping certain percentages that people were all to H*** over. (the other bug that doesn't really matter that much)

I'm noticing a new issue with the spinning "wheel" indicator constantly on when I'm on the home screen. All apps closed and tried a reboot. (9.1 Beta 2 on 6 Plus)
