I am using an iPad Pro 10.5 with iOS 11. Is there a way to control the volume of a pop out app vs the main app? I have been using the Xfinity app on top of some games. Id prefer Xfinity to be louder than the game. I dont want to mute the game sounds but often they are louder than the TV stream.

I forgot just how long it takes to update an Apple Watch. Not just the actual install process, which is fine, but the downloading. iPhone took 15 minutes to download, iPad maybe 40. The update for the watch takes like 2+ hours. Then, it starts installing (just started a few moments ago for me).

Putting volume to 8 doesn't center it under the pause/play button?
Yeah that updated Podcasts app is so much better to navigate now.

Does anyone have issues where the control panel/lock screen/headphone remote controls don't recognise that a podcast is playing? It's been like this for a few of the beta updates for me with no fix - I can be listening to a podcast, but see no controls for it and when I click the button on my headphones to pause it starts playing something from Music instead. Only fix is to restart.
Its nice that notification volume and system volume are tied together now, but why is that obtrusive volume indicator still here? Was hoping it would be more subtle. I thought it was supposed to be made less obtrusive for media.
I see, it works for online media... but not videos within the stock photos app. Huh.

Well, I'm not Apple so I can't explain why. But if the new "go home" is a full swipe up (on the X) and task switcher is swipe halfway up, then it seems like they're trying to centralize app management gestures. Also, as a left-hander, swiping from the right isn't as comfortable for me as swiping from the bottom, though I know lefties are the minority of users.

Yeah, the only home button function that doesn't seem well taken care of in the iPhone X is Reachability, which always struck me as an embarrassing band-aid anyway - it makes much more sense just to redesign apps such that the points of interaction are located at the bottom-center where the thumb is (rather than mimicking the desktop by putting it all in the corners) and to keep the upper parts of the screen primarily for visible information only.
But Apple didn't do that either. There were all those lovely mock-ups moving the controls to the bottom but Apple kept them at the top.

Yup, it kinda sucks heh.
Gestures on the X are really irrelevant to my complaint. I dont care what goes on there. It has a new interface and will require adjustments. I care about losing one of my favorite features from iOS 10, seemingly for no reason.

Thats finebut again, this is not about the future. This is about losing an existing feature on an existing product. Its literally a removal of something that was previously there. Its not only for the devices moving forward. Its for their previous flagships. As far as I know, they have never removed a feature like this.

Yeah I dont get it either. Swiping downfrom the top still brings up the lock screen/notifications.
Doesnt work for me. I have to be at the home screen for the swipe to bring anything down.
Never mind, it works, but not when reachability is activated. In iOS 10 you could swipe from the top of the pulled-down image. 11 requires you to still swipe down from the top of the display.

Was this an 11 thing?
Doesnt work with reachability.
Had no idea. Weird.
Huh. I thought it was a bug and was expecting there to be 3D Touch options for that.

I've been having Bluetooth keyboard issues on my iPad Air 2 with iOS 11. It persisted through all of the Public Beta versions. I assumed the GM would fix it, but it's still happening.
When I turn on my Bluetooth keyboard, it pairs and the onscreen keyboard slides down so the device can see that it's there. But when I actually type nothing happens until I switch away from the app I'm in and then switch back. Sometimes I have to do it a few times.
Anyone else having issues like this?

GM fantastic on 7 plus.
Anyone else experiencing pretty poor battery life on the GM? Not just one device either. I wonder if its doing background indexing and cleanup, but its been several days already and its still much worse. Does iOS 11 have a lot more things going on due to the iCloud sync of things like Siri and Faces in Photos?
Ive noticed the Usage time is much higher than it should be so certainly something is going on in the background. Gonna try turn off and on and see how it goes. :/

For anyone who has a copy of PCalc, there's a "hidden" AR mode in it that's the first one I've seen in the wild.
On the main screen, tap the Info button (i), then Help, then About PCalc, then tap the AR button on the left sidebar.
For some reason it worked really poorly at work, but now that I'm at home it seems to track much better. Could be a lighting thing?

That's why I asked if it behaves like this in the GM. Most people don't even know they changed it in iOS 11.

my ipad air is slow as a snail on this gm =(
I clarified with a follow up post. I kept trying to swipe down with reachability, like how it worked previously. Cant be done now. Another example of things being made more slow and cumbersome.
Sorry to say but with an older device always wait until you can read comments from other users. I have an iPad 2 that while it still functions, typing on the keyboard is laggy. We should have kept it on an older version of iOS so at least the Internet was usable.
My son has a 5S and I have told him to not upgrade. I can't see iOS 11 working well on it and right now his phone is fine.
I wondered why the handover icons kept popping up on my Mac after I'd turned my phone's bluetooth "off".
Nice! Tell us how it fares on the Air 2 too if you can.
I dont get the point of this feature tbh. Does it carry over things an iCloud backup you would restore from doesnt include?
From what I remember, it sets up your WiFi and iCloud so you can quickly restore from an iCloud backup.

So, they didn't change it. Are you on the GM?
I don't get their decision, like why would you want to disconnect from the WiFi network but keep your phone's WiFi radio on? For Bluetooth maybe it makes sense.
Oh thats cool and makes sense.

Had tot downgrade back to 10, no matter how many updates and GM releases 11 got it was the buggiest beta I've ever used on iPhones.
constant notification center glitches, I hate the lock screen music view, how large everything is, multi tasking still stutters.
I am not looking forward to them forcing this update on me over the coming months.
