Public Beta 8

[Ledsteplin]

Yeah.. I feel bad for my sibling
I was the one who told her to try out the beta.

Has your sibling tried anything to fix that? Reset All Settings might help.

When I do a Spotlight Search for an Application, I now have to type in the whole App name before it will appear in results. So for example, if I'm looking for Mail, it will only appear in the results once I type the last letter. Has anyone seen this issue I've been having since I started on Beta 6 until now?

Works fine for me on my iPad Pro. It pops to the top of the search items list once I reach the I in Mail. Once I reach the A as in Ma it shows all my apps with ma such as Mail, Google Maps, Maps, and Mantis Bible.

Working fine for me on my iPhone 7.

When it displays the 4 "Ma" apps, is it in the "Applications" section? I don't seem to have that section anymore but just the Top Hit section, but I need to type in the whole app name for it to appear there.

Yep - Mail is the first in line within the "Applications" section. I've tried searching for several apps and I haven't been able to reproduce what you're experiencing.

Try going to settings > General > Spotlight Search > Toggle Siri Suggestions off. Then do a hard reset (reboot). Then go toggle Siri Suggestions back on.

I got a brand new iPhone 7 yesterday and immediately loaded. Everything good except the same two issues I’ve had since PB1. Battery drain on idle is **** poor compared with iOS 10 and the 3D Touch animation on app icons is hideous.

Battery drain is likely apps adjusting. Swipe any known battery users out of multitasking. Then do a hard reset (reboot).

Agreed. I had fairly heavy battery drain for a day or two after installing PB6, but a hard reset did the trick. That and I made sure that I kept my regular usage routine, testing things as they might come up in my normal daily usage rather than run through a bunch of things in a short period of time. I've done this same thing after each PB install and I've never had any major battery issues.

Yep!

Anyone having issues with the public beta draining the battery on their Apple Watch? I installed the profile on my AW but doesn’t look like there’s a public beta available yet.

You have to unpair your watch and then re-pair it. This will fix your battery drain. My watch wouldn’t last 6 hours before I did this. Now I get the same battery life as watchOS 3.

Giving this a shot. Thanks!

Don’t install the Siri watch face either, a lot of people have said that it drains battery also.

 

[scruffypig]

Yep, I'm also running it on my spare 6 and it is slow.

Sorry to hear that. It is running speedy on my iPhone 5s.

That’s very interesting.

 

[phlamethrowre]

Just dl’ed Beta 8. If I do a factory resets will I still be on Beta 8 after?

 

[phlamethrowre]

The answer to my question is YES.

 

[Frehley]

Since it's loaded on my spare 6, no big deal. I'm going to do a clean install over the holiday weekend and see what happens.

PB8 running perfect on my iPhone 7 and iPad 2017 so far

I just got a new beta through. Is it PB9?
