iOS 9 Beta 3 Tidbits: 4x4 Folders on iPad, Screenshot and Selfie Folders, News App, and More

[gluckett]

I read through 3 pages, thinking surely someone would be hacked off about having a selfie folder. This is the best you can do??

A mellow day in the forums...

Haha, I just thought it was funny, especially since there were some posters excited about it

Nice rollback in 4x4 icons in folder. Keep the rollbacks comings!

I'm terrified of the news reports... "Does Apple keep a copy of your selfie?" "What Apple doesn't want you to know about that selfies folder!"

I think there should be a folder for when you save pictures from the Internet in Photos!

YES. I have too many random wallpapers I've saved scattered throughout my photo library!! Really would like to see those separated out into a new folder on their own.

... umm, WTF??

It's just a bug they found and the fix didn't make the cut for beta 3. It'll be fixed in a future beta update.

Is Safari snapp--oh, never mind.

Here's a link to help the folks at MacRumors - https://developer.apple.com/news-publisher/

I've already added my RSS feeds and been accepted...not that I've bothered to install iOS9 yet.

How did you get accepted? I thought you needed to be a publisher and have a news site or blog obviously.

Still no button on Command Centre for Battery Saving Mode, which is kind of weird.

4x4 folders still isn't enough, also...put this on the 6+

It would certainly be nice to not have to jailbreak just to get more than a 3x3 grid in my folders!

Camera - As mentioned in the release notes, in iOS 9 beta 3 the volume buttons cannot be used to snap a picture.

I guess this renders my just-bought monopod useless. :/

 

[Fishticks]

Been working on Home Sharing lately ???

I just noticed Mac Rumors isn't in Apple News yet. *sighs* @ the Apple, Inc. topic being populated by 9to5Mac & Apple Insider.

Y'all Europeans need to get with the times. You see how the liberal media has brainwashed you into thinking Fox News is the worst thing to come out of America?

But I digress.

Not surprising really.

The recent report about how Birmingham in the UK was a no go city that had been overrun by Islamic extremists was hilarious.

 

[dillacom]

Anyone know if the Plex app works yet? I know it's not the fault of Plex, but only thing holding me back from trying on my iPad Air 2 right now.

no, it will need an update to work.

NEWS: I'm in Italy and the News app was included in the beta I downloaded OTA.

Did you have your region set to "US" by any chance? I had to set my region to "US" for it to appear here in Canada.

How did you get accepted? I thought you needed to be a publisher and have a news site or blog obviously.

I have a news and review site on the topic of tequila. I followed the steps in the link I provided, added RSS feeds for both news and review sections, filled in all my company details and uploaded my logo. About 30 minutes later an email appeared in my inbox saying "Welcome to Apple News!".

Edit: I also get a 'green light' in the News Publisher settings on iCloud.

 

[tomasdi]

Someone tell me why Apple is still obsessed about displaying our photos the way THEY want. I find those albums totally useless. At least give me the chance to hide them if I want.

 

[WB2Colorado]

I guess this renders my just-bought monopod useless. :/

It's just a bug, it will be back in future betas.

 

[Pagemakers]

I ask this question on various places but never got an answer, i do have some subscriptions in the newsstand. What will happen once i update my iPad to iOS 9 and the newsstand is replaced to news.

Will i still got to read my subscriptions i bought??

Great question.

Did you get a reply. I can't see one...

 

[manu chao]

Finally, after two years, there are 4x4 iPad folders!

Two years after what?

 

[DaveOP]

... umm, WTF??

In the developer release notes, this is a known issue, not a feature change.

 

[jdillings]

I just noticed Mac Rumors isn't in Apple News yet. *sighs* @ the Apple, Inc. topic being populated by 9to5Mac & Apple Insider.

I just tweeted T-Swizzle. She said she'll talk to Tim about this oversight.

 

[AngerDanger]

Two years after what?

The introduction of iOS 7, which limited the apps to a 3x3 grid.

 

[manu chao]

In my experience the recent update on iOS 8 is appalling; simple things like volume control and scrubbing are buggy and unresponsive to say the least. Plus all usability and functionality seems to be gone from it – you shouldn't have to be swiping around just to summon a play/pause button.

The play/pause button is always there in the lower left part of the screen (a bit above the left bottom corner). And if all usability and functionality would be gone, we would be dealing with an app where nothing functions and that literally cannot be used.
