iOS 9.3 beta 7
Availability: Developer Beta and Public Beta
Build: 13E5234a for 6S & 6s plus
13E5233a for other devices

These are the release notes for iOS 9.3 beta 7, copied from the Apple Developer Centre since some users were requesting them. Enjoy!
Notes and Known Issues

App Store

Known Issue

Users who performed an iCloud or iTunes restore onto a device with iOS 9.3 beta 3 from a backup created with iOS 9.3 beta 1 or 2 may be unable to install apps or log into iCloud when upgrading to iOS 9.3 beta 7.
Workaround: Perform an erase-install of iOS 9.3 beta 7 and restore data from either the iCloud or iTunes backup.
Apple ID

Known Issues

When using a Shared iPad, the device may hang for a few minutes at logout.
If you reboot your Access Point and a Shared iPad cannot reconnect to your network, you also need to reboot your Shared iPad.
Apple Watch

Known Issue

Certain features in the Apple Watch app require the developer seed of watchOS 2.2.
Dictionary

Known Issue

A user updating to an iOS 9 GM build from a seed build may see duplicate dictionaries in the definition dictionary list if the user switched primary language, added secondary languages, or added new keyboards.
Workaround: To remove the duplicate dictionaries, go to the definition dictionary list, swipe the dictionary, and tap the Delete button.
Simulator

Known Issue

Photos app in Simulator does not sync photos from iCloud Photo Library.
Wi-Fi

Known Issue

In a classroom environment with many iPad devices connected to a single access point, some devices may intermittently lose data connectivity with Classroom, other devices, and the Internet, even though the status bar shows that the device is connected to a Wi-Fi access point.
Workaround: Disable and then reenable Wi-Fi from Settings > Wi-Fi to resume connectivity. Note that for a Shared iPad, you may need to reboot the affected device.

Bugs (New to beta 7):
  • "com.apple.springboard" shows up in Settings > Privacy > Location Services (only for some users!)

Bugfixes, Changes:
  • 6s modem firmware updated from 1.59.00 to 1.60.00
Performance Improvements:
  • Safari Javascript performance has improved. On the iPad Pro, JetStream results improved from 125 in 9.3b5 to 144 in 9.3b7

I shouldn't have upgraded. Discovered a FaceTime bug. When the person on the other side is looking at me on their phone, I'm stuck in landscape mode. Kind of annoying.

Only when they look directly at you? So they can look to the left or right and you can get into portrait?

I saw some animation bugs when I flushed my toilet. Beta 7 is the worst.

WORST IOS EVAH. When, in Mail, I hold the phone up at a precisely 35.43 degree angle, at exactly 3:13 when the moon is waxing crescent, and I double-click the home button then within a hundredth of a second press the volume down button, the animations in the app switcher have SUCH OBVIOUS STUTTER.

Get it together, Apple!!!!1!

You obviously followed my instructions wrong then - it happens on every single Apple Store device on 9.2.1. My wife's 6S on 9.2.1, my 5S on 9.3, my iPad Mini on 9.3.

Or they for whatever reason fixed on on the 6S... I can test that myself on release.

You need to start sliding the app immediately after double tapping the home button, and already be inside an app (any).

I can't reproduce either. I file this one under "things that might happen if you do something no one really does on a phone in everday usage".

look up math, funny..i dont care what ur "average american" this or that, i dont have a vehicle, im not american, i have to walk everywhere to get food, there & back is like 3.5 miles, 4-5 times a month. i freqently visit someone thats 5.1 miles of walking one way, many times ive done that 6 times a month, going to the bank to get rent another 2. plus any other misc stuff.

u look up some basic math, i know what an average is, do u know what a bug is? its like any & everything thats in front of people they have to try accept it & create some sort of order to make it "understandable" even if something is plain broken. i said multiple previous months were well over 70 miles now they always display 5.5 like its a hard cap, this month is my most active yet & still 5.5 miles..also the same "bug" applies to steps & flights climbed. u wouldnt know cause u probably drive the 7 eleven thats half a block away, right?

i mentioned the bug, i was done with it since im not believed, but at least the others werent a smart ass like u.

mine is working just fine in all views.

You do realize that if you had a monthly average of over 70 miles then you would have to walk around 70 miles every day of the month. The activities you listed above if you did each of them every single day would only give you around a 14 mile a month average.

This has been intentional since iOS 7. I actually like it, if your just gonna look at the lock screen quick its nice to have it big.

Exactly. That's the whole purpose of it. It was an intentional decision to make it bigger on the lock screen vs the home screen. Drives me crazy when people on here think it's this bug that they haven't bothered to fix in years or something.

Yeah I was able to reproduce this on my Air 2 and 6S. Let's get it together Apple.

This beta fixed the bug where the phone was requiring a pass code before it should (set to only require a pass code after four hours yet requiring it after a minute or two). So glad, that was very annoying.

I am sick of the crying when iOS 9.3 Comes out. I will come out when Apple thinks it is ready. When they rush it out, you will cry again because of all the bugs...

PS: I have an iPhone 6s and I don't like iOS 9.2.1...however, I want to have a stable phone...so I don't care about a 9th or 10th beta...
