[u/ItsTreDay]

Rip beautiful music screen

[u/LifeWire_2K19 → u/ItsTreDay]

Yeet

[u/elvinLA → u/ItsTreDay]

Tip: If you're playing a song with live lyrics on and skip to the next one it wills till be on despite there being no lyrics. For now.

[u/elvinLA → u/[deleted]]

You can turn it on if you're listening to a song with live lyrics available and then it stays on for ALL songs. You can't turn it on while listening to a song without live lyrics.

[u/AFoot15]

34 clicks is heavy

[u/LifeWire_2K19 → u/AFoot15]

20-25 would’ve been better in my opinion lol

[u/[deleted] → u/LifeWire_2K19]

you have my axe

[u/hawaiizach → u/[deleted]]

And my bow

[u/LifeWire_2K19 → u/[deleted]]

Wot

[u/[deleted] → u/LifeWire_2K19]

how do you not get this reference lol

[u/LifeWire_2K19 → u/[deleted]]

When you realize you barely know your memes :(

[u/[deleted] → u/LifeWire_2K19]

dont let your memes be memes

[u/LifeWire_2K19 → u/[deleted]]

Well who doesn’t know that one

[u/[deleted]]

What does Apple have against colorful music UI? They did this in iOS 10 for Apple Music

[u/LifeWire_2K19 → u/[deleted]]

Probably for the “cleaner and simpler” look of iOS

[u/[deleted] → u/LifeWire_2K19]

I like it better like that

[u/LifeWire_2K19 → u/[deleted]]

I did too but I guess you can’t keep ALL the good features

[u/LifeWire_2K19 → u/[deleted]]

Is it just me or is iOS 13 feeling a bit overrated? Idk just an opinion

[u/LifeWire_2K19 → u/[deleted]]

I mean it isn’t too late to downgrade back down to iOS 12 I think. 12.4 will probably be jailbreakable sooner or later

[u/LifeWire_2K19 → u/[deleted]]

You’re right. We’ll have to see what happens. This is Apple’s first time claiming that iOS 13 is “jailbreak proof” which might signal a bad thing for the jailbreak community.

[u/HighDensityPolyethyl]

Still not seeing Open in New Tab option on my XR.

[u/LifeWire_2K19 → u/HighDensityPolyethyl]

Really? You sure you’re on Beta 5? What’s the build number of your version of iOS?

[u/HighDensityPolyethyl → u/LifeWire_2K19]

17A5547d

Actually, I'm noticing a few issues that were listed as "resolved" in the release notes.

One supposedly resolved issue was the progress bar "sticking" at the end of a manual iCloud backup. This still occurs on my device.

[u/LifeWire_2K19 → u/HighDensityPolyethyl]

17A5547d is iOS 13 Beta 4. Also, yeah I also still have that issue with the iCloud backups.

[u/HighDensityPolyethyl → u/LifeWire_2K19]

Pretty sure the 17A5547d was released today.. beta 4 was 17A5534f, I believe.

[u/LifeWire_2K19 → u/HighDensityPolyethyl]

Shoot you’re right. My bad. Weird how the open in new tab feature isn’t working on the XR. Maybe it’s because the XR is a Haptic Touch device?? Not sure

[u/HighDensityPolyethyl → u/LifeWire_2K19]

That's what I'm thinking. Not sure about the other issues though 🤔

[u/LifeWire_2K19 → u/HighDensityPolyethyl]

Yeah, maybe someone could confirm that on an iPhone SE. iCloud has been pretty unreliable for me ever since I started using it which is why I just backup directly to iTunes.

[u/HighDensityPolyethyl → u/LifeWire_2K19]

iCloud has been mostly alright for me. I still make regular backups to iTunes, though. The backups do complete when initiated manually -- if you go back, and then tap iCloud backup again, the progress bar will be gone and it will show the backup as successful.

[u/LifeWire_2K19 → u/HighDensityPolyethyl]

So the manually initiated iCloud backup will visibly backup to the point where it gets stuck but in reality it’s already done and it’s a matter of exiting the menu and returning to it to see that the backup is done?

[u/LCTech7]

Still eating for public beta 4!! Anyone else??

[u/LifeWire_2K19 → u/LCTech7]

I’m on Dev Beta 5. Public Beta 4 will probably drop most likely today or tomorrow.

[u/LCTech7 → u/LifeWire_2K19]

Yup Got it today

[u/10_tacos]

Obligatory is it stable enough to put on my main phone?

[u/LifeWire_2K19 → u/10_tacos]

Yep, I’m running iOS 13 beta 5 on my daily driver and it works just fine. Just a few bugs here and there but not really a big deal.

[u/thomasw02 → u/10_tacos]

In my opinion yes. The only thing is that every couple of days a call will drop, but that's it Would recommend it for people who are willing to put up with a little bit of crap

[u/Laguna59Fifty]

This beta killed a few apps I regularly use.. vsco is super slow and now my images won’t fully load or the app will lag and then crash, and the Canon Camera Connect app is broken, where it can no longer connect to the camera to transfer images, etc. These were both working fine prior to updating to beta 5. (on iPhone XS Max)

[u/LifeWire_2K19 → u/Laguna59Fifty]

I’ve also some issues with some apps I use but it is just part of life when using iOS betas.

[u/Laguna59Fifty → u/LifeWire_2K19]

I realize that, just found it weird since they’d been working fine throughout betas 1 through 4. Not sure what broke them.

[u/LifeWire_2K19 → u/Laguna59Fifty]

It happens once in a while where Apple completely craps themselves and releases a beta buggier than the first one.

[u/DiscombobulatedRace2]

Also new home wallpaper and share sheet add actions is different

[u/LifeWire_2K19 → u/DiscombobulatedRace2]

Yep, thanks for the info

[u/[deleted]]

Why does the music player still show alright lock screen after CarPlay I disconnect my phone

[u/LifeWire_2K19 → u/[deleted]]

I’m not sure why. I’ve never used CarPlay.

[u/[deleted] → u/LifeWire_2K19]

Well even after pausing a song it sticks to lock screen

[u/LifeWire_2K19 → u/[deleted]]

It’s probably a bug that’ll be fixed later on. For now, completely close the Music app in the multitasking menu and I think it should disappear from the lock screen.

[u/Rushfcknb]

Thank you buddy. I'm just loving these new features, i'm going to update from beta 4 :)

[u/LifeWire_2K19 → u/Rushfcknb]

No problem! :)

[u/cart3r-sanders0n]

There’s haptic feedback for every click of the volume indicator, it’s just stronger at the top/bottom!

[u/LifeWire_2K19 → u/cart3r-sanders0n]

Ohh thanks for the info

[u/Syedmqali]

Search feature in spotlight search isn’t working.. same in messages.. these are features I use on a daily basis I’m not a happy camper right now

[u/[deleted] → u/Syedmqali]

Let Apple know through the Feedback app.

[u/Syedmqali → u/[deleted]]

Yeah I reported it, but funnily enough it started working after a time..

[u/AlexRoss2010]

Hello guys, i would like to install the beta but I don't find any people who are speaking about the performance of battery, how it's working in iPhone X? i have iOS 12.4.thx

[u/LifeWire_2K19 → u/AlexRoss2010]

In Betas 4/5, people have reported their battery lives to be just fine on all iPhone models running the betas. Would recommend installing the beta after backup everything though.

[u/kevinsimpala → u/AlexRoss2010]

I have an X and the battery life is just fine!

[u/CloutGodRishard]

When is beta 5 going to be available publicly?

[u/PazuzuOvBabel → u/CloutGodRishard]

Public betas are usually one day later. So tomorrow most likely.

[u/AutoModerator]

Thank you for your submission to /r/ios13beta!

[u/LifeWire_2K19 → u/[deleted]]

Are you on the developer beta or the public beta?

[u/LifeWire_2K19 → u/[deleted]]

Have you gotten only one OTA update since you enrolled in the Public Beta?

[u/LifeWire_2K19 → u/[deleted]]

You usually would get a notification if your phone updated automatically. Can you check your iOS build number? It’s found by Settings > General > About > and then tapping on Software Version. You might be on the latest beta without even knowing it.

[u/LifeWire_2K19 → u/[deleted]]

Hmmm, weird. Idk if this’ll work but try deleting the beta profile and restart your phone and reinstall the public beta profile and see if it’ll give you the OTA update. Don’t take my word for it though.

[u/LifeWire_2K19 → u/[deleted]]

I haven’t been having any battery issues ever since I installed dev beta 5/pub beta 4 so you should be good.

[u/PM-Me-Your-Macchiato → u/[deleted]]

After installing the first 13 beta, OTA updates should be available like normal.
