So do they plan to fix the reminders icon? The dots on the right of the icon are just odd.
Got a tip for us?

What's New in iOS 11 Beta 5: iCloud Messages Delayed, New Icons, Control Center Music Changes and More

It works very well. Was this even possible with apps before?
As for messages in iCloud being removed, I wonder if it has something to do with recent threats by UK and Australia governments to force Apple to give them access??? They can’t if they don’t have them!
I feel like in a lot of ways Apple doesn’t understand how to make Control Center work. I swipe up on my new iPad Pro 12.9, and it takes me a second or two every damn time to process the complete cluster of icons. Why is Screen Mirroring at the bottom of icons? That’s the easiest icon to reach, - the one at the bottom, i.e. closest to your fingers, and it’s bloody Screen Mirroring. And can you remove that icon? Oh no, of course not.
Le sigh.

Very much looking forward to the iMessage sync between all my devices and accounts.
I'm also glad I stayed away from the betas and will wait for the GM release. Just have to be patient!

Is it just me or do the icons and translucency seem a bit brighter? The folders definitely seems a lot more brighter.
Messages staying in sync across devices was my favorite part of WWDC. No surprise that it's delayed. To be honest, I thought this was a feature we'd see a year after the ability to push messages to other devices rolled out. I'm sure there's privacy and other issues to address, but it will suck if it's not in the first iOS 11 release.
Well, this one I do not like very much. Had 13% and now I am not allowed to use my flash/torch light.
Some android phones, particularly the Galaxy line do this. It’s rather annoying. I get that it is a battery hog but cmon, if I need my flashlight I need my flashlight lol
Bam, sea biscuit!No more lines on the camera icon?!
FWIW, Apple finally noticed and made the camera icon more like the control center icon... probably for more consistency. Wonder how long until Jobs would have noticed the difference...
So what happens to my imessages if i upgrade to beta 5? I currently am using the imessages in icloud. Will anything bad happen?
I had no idea about the iMessages in the cloud option, but that is great. Shame it isn't coming sooner, but I guess I can;t be mad I am not getting something I just learned about lol. I currently have messages to delete after 30 days just to save up space. Othwerise they start eating away at my local storage.
We agree, all 7 billion of us. Why doesn't Apple want us to choose Bluetooth & Wifi devices right from the Control Center?
It makes absolutely no sense and seems completely stupid, each and every day of my life that I repeat the pattern of entering the Settings screens. Someone help explain this madness!
I imagine we will be seeing more icon changes to show increased contrast, what with the new iPhone having an OLED screen. The black background on the settings icon will really pop with those ultra-deep blacks. Will really make it look quite nice
It’s fine (not withstanding any bug you may experience) they just won’t continue to sync between devices when you delete one for example. Everything will still receive and retain your current messages as before.
It's on par with not being able to turn off the Bluetooth and wifi radios from there. I understand none of it.
My wife who is a teacher is already using it with the Apple Pencil to record and mark up student feedback. It's quite remarkable how quickly she's taken to it. It's lightyears ahead of her previous workflow on Windows.
This is the first version that really seems to be running smoother. It still stutters, but you can see it getting there...
