Public Beta incoming, maybe?

So tempted to get in on this with my 10.5 iPad
Maybe. They said end of june for the Public beta. Anyone remember when did they do the public beta last time? I think it was after the third developer beta.
oh man... can't wait to get home. highest on my list of hoped for fixes:
improved watch battery life. "don't install betas.. they kill your battery"... yes, I know this. still sucks that on my two early days, which also have workouts.. my watch dies around 8pm..
prior to the beta my watch never hit below 40% on those days. so even if it just LIVES til bedtime (at 4%) I'd be happy with that for now..
lock screen glitches.. primarily Now Playing on my lock screen has almost always been busted in the beta. beyond that the screen will get stuck, notifications half off of it, etc.
it does seem that Siri glitching on the Watch was marked as resolved. "Hey Siri" would pop her open, transcribe.. then would launch her again.. depending on what you asked her to do it would either work anyway (send a message), to not work at all (anything HomeKit would not fire before the second session started up)
oh yeah, and hopefully they added iOS 11 beta to the feedback app

Smoother on my 7 Plus so far.
Only other change Ive noticed is the Now Playing now displays album art. Which is good.
Edit: On iPad, you can now select to remove apps from the right of your dock (the recently opened section). Just hold your finger on the app and hit the X, and youre given an option to delete the app or remove it from the dock.
Your prayers have been answered!
Edit 2: Still cant swipe notifications to dismiss them. Ugh.
Edit 3: Do Not Disturb While Driving works now!

any way to remove an app from those "3 most recently used apps" in the dock?
Closing it via the multitasking screen doesn't remove it. I have to open 3 other apps (that aren't already in the static part of the dock) to purge it from there. Asking for ... a friend, who purposefully uses an alternative browser hidden inside an inconspicuous folder for his alone time

They better fix notifications before release, I find it hard to believe they took ANOTHER step back by getting rid of swiping. It has to be a glitch, right?

My guess is that they got rid of it on purpose to push 3D Touch more to the forefront, as thats the only way (Im aware of) to dismiss notifications now.
Maybe if enough people complain though...
How do you get rid of notifications on the new iPad?
Michael F. Assbender

Double tap the little X in the corner to get rid of all of them. Hold and tap to get rid of one (if memory serves. I have no notifications on my iPad at the moment so I cant test it right now).
Not the most elegant solution. They need to bring back the swipe.
You can swipe left on the notification banner, choose clear. (lock screen)
Swipe up on it when unlocked, in an app, etc.
edit:
I didn't see until afterwards that this is about iOS 11. my bad.
It looks like you can now swipe up once to bring up the control center/app switcher on iPad in beta 2. You just swipe up the full length of the screen. Before, I recall having to swipe up once to bring the dock up and then swipe again for the control center and app switcher view. Much better.

That behavior worked for me in beta 1, albeit sporadically
Current annoyance is that dictation capitalizes every first letter
Like This, I Have no Idea Why Its Happening

They added fifteen second skips forward and backward for videos played in Safari.
Unless that was already there and I never noticed it. But normally I would notice something like that, I think.

Hopefully soon, I'm very anxious to put it on my new shiny iPad Pro
Doesnt work on my 2017 iPad for some reason.
E: Ah, only on the home screen.
Th overhauled now playing is good though, finally can select the output without having anything playing. I also feel they shortened the hold time required to bring up the X symbols in the app overview which is good. They should still replace 5he tap hold tap with a simple swipe up like before imo...
Short swipe up to bring the dock, another swipe up to bring up app switcher and control centre. Or long swip up to go directly to control centre. It was like this in beta 1 as well.
Kinda dumb it doesnt work unless youre on the Home Screen. Anyway, I tried it in portrait and could get the icons to jiggle. Tried again in landscape and it jiggled but tapping the X still did nothing haha.
Takes me forever to go through them now because a lot of the time I don't want to clear them all, just a select few. Pressing down, waiting for the option to delete. Annoying as hell.
I don't get why they'd do that considering the iPhone 6, which doesn't have 3D Touch, is able to use iOS 11. It feels like an oversight, especially since that's the device I'm on. I won't be buying a newer one until closer to the end of the year, too. ;-;
Was definitely there in the first dev beta, if you missed it then.

All they had to do was copy android notifications but no they decided to do one worse and go the opposite direction in improving functionality.
Not that I'm aware. One of the things they need to fix. They can't possibly leave it as is.
You'd think that you'd be able to drag the previews. As it is, the previews are pointless now because they're so small that it's hard to read the contents.

You can actually just disable recent apps completely, it's in settings under General > Multitasking.

Yeah, what Apple's doing with iOS notifications just confuses me.
I don't hate the separation of 'recent' and 'older' notifications as a concept, but if you're going to do that there's even *more* reason to group the older ones together by app.

I just hate how seemingly random the label of older is applied to notifications. Sometimes, notifications that literally just popped will be grouped under older, and other times not.
Obviously its a beta and bound to change (hopefully), but still, it would be nice if you got some kind of control over how old a notification had to be before getting grouped there.
Agreed. Ive rarely had big complaints but notifications and the new pull down dynamic is a mess.
Good improvement.
The location of "Pay with Touch ID" makes me hopeful that the fingerprint scanner will be embedded under the screen for the iPhone 8.

So this fall's AppleTV will still only have HDMI 2.0 most likely, huh? It's too bad we won't be able to get dynamic HDR10 in that case.
Yes, you can multi-hand touch-and-hold the app you want from the home screen or from the spotlight results screen, then use the other hand to pull up the task-switcher and drop it.
Where are you getting this info from? I havent seen much on the upcoming Apple TV so im genuinely curious!
Mr. Wonderful

Based on the expected availability of HDMI 2.1 in consumer devices.

Is dynamic HDR10 even used at all?

So it is officially the last week in June. Any bets on whether the Public Betas will be out tomorrow or not?
Yes I am guessing that we get last weeks developer Beta as this weeks PB. That's the way they did it last year IIRC.
Wouldn't be surprised. The second iOS 11 beta is a lot better than the first one.
Yes.
Open first app. Return to home screen, find the second app icon and drag it. While still holding the app icon in "drag" mode, open the first app again (you can still interact with other things on screen while in drag and drop mode). Now you can drag the second icon into multitasking mode.

Crossing my fingers. Tomorrow would be a perfect beta installation day.

If this actually works as well as it looks this is a rather impressive use of ARKit.

So they put out a second verson of the second iOS 11 beta for devs. Does this mean there was a big bug that might delay the PB? Or is it a sign that the PB could be ready soon?
I want it so bad!!!

Not every iOS 11 device is getting the update, only certain ones. Wonder if it fixes the restore bug that was hitting a lot of people if they tried to downgrade
Im actually blown away

Okay, I'm going in. I've backed everything up. This'll be the first beta on my iPhone 7+. But it's only showing me 10.3.3 Beta 4 right now. Do I need to update to that first before it'll show me 11?

you need to get the iOS 11 beta profile.
