iOS 9 Beta 4 Tidbits: Home Sharing for Music, Volume Button Photos, iPod Touch Support, and More

[Lebanese]

Control Center is not working on my iPhone 6 Plus. Is it just me?

try to wiggle assistive touch around a bit if you have it enabled, then try control centre.

I hope they disabled double click to activate apple pay. Annoying.

Not sure if anybody's mentioned this, if you have sorry!

New toggle for Apple Pay in settings, allowing you to turn on and off Apple Pay access from the lock screen

Is multitasking on iPad still split vertically when in portrait mode? Not very helpful when trying to watch a movie and do something else. No matter how you hold the iPad with multitasking you get a tiny black boxed video.

Cool!

You can switch it off in settings

Home Sharing - Home Sharing for music was removed in iOS 8.4 with the launch of the new music app and the new Apple Music service, but iTunes chief Eddy Cue said Apple was working to re-add the feature in iOS 9 and it has, in iOS 9 beta 4.

Really happy to see this being addressed, though I would've preferred to see a fix in 8.4.x...

I saw this in another thread re: iOS 9 Beta 4; if you delete the Public Beta profile, reboot your iDevice running PB2 and go to Software Update you can download B4.

Just tried it on my iPad Air that's running PB1. Confirmed this works.

I'm glad they fixed the volume/picture issue. That was going to seriously affect my selfie game.

 

[mmendoza27]

Typically? This is the first one they've done?

I would think a fairly major update like this would be pushed public shortly after the developer update, no?

They did a public beta with iOS 8.3 and they've done it in the past with OS X.

 

[sbailey4]

Why no public beta Apple? You give me a headache.

I may have completely missed this somewhere else, but does the public beta get updated as well? Maybe not as frequently, but a few days/a week later? Is there a set schedule.

Has been a little buggy the past few days even though it was working great initially. Not a big deal.

Last one came the next day so PB2 could drop tomorrow.

There are also some new ringtones and text tones as well in the sounds tab. But when you select a new one, it crashes....

 

[DUCKofD3ATH]

I'm hoping, but not expecting, some fix to the way they snafued audio book playing.

I'm about to switch from an iPt 4 to 6, so I wasn't able to load iOS8 and so missed the changeover when Apple moved audiobooks to the iBooks app. What SNAFUs are you on about?

 

[sss4r]

Pretty lame when you have to report on the notifications icon changing color.

I'm just seeing the same old options

 

[sbailey4]

IOS 9 appears to be a more polished and sophisticated version of IOS 8 which is welcome and needed. So far no dynamic new features in the Betas other than Apple Music. Time will tell

Huh? Apple music was in iOS 8.4 so thats not even new to iOS9. But then there are several new features in 9 not including Apple Music that were not in the 8's.

All unfinished downloads from safari show that date, the launch of Mac originally. Once downloaded it will update date modified.

By default, they mix in the Audiobooks with eBooks, so all my PDFs mixed with the audiobooks - and worse, the few eBooks I bought from their store also show up even if not in the list. There's a collection of audiobooks so you can get around that.

But, once audiobooks are playing, if you click the back button to either scroll through your books or to read a PDF or something - audiobook stops playing and there isn't even a visual clue about which book was playing.

Worse, sometimes when you launch an app that takes over the audio system so the playback stops, iBooks forgets where it was in the audiobook so it starts over from the start.

You mean on the lock screen? Wasn't/isn't that controllable by a setting?

Why? Just one of the changes that is there.

 

[anshuvorty]

Tried to install the PB using the profile method and then updating to the beta 4, but I can't seem to install the PB to begin with!

Device: iPod Touch 6th gen on iOS 8.4

Anyone else with this issue?

I hope they didn't. It's extremely useful and the way I use Apple Pay and wallet cards every time
