iOS 12 Developer Beta 1

[Garz]

You should indeed not need to do a fresh install every time a major update is released. But over time many small stuff can add up to your phone being buggy.

Nobody nowhere in this thread claimed that bugs that come with a certain release will be fixed by doing a fresh install.

All that is said is that it helps to fix aforementioned stuff that made your iPhone act up.

Sure over time small stuff can add up. I agree. But fresh install on every beta? Every updates? Hey if they got that can a spare time, go for it I suppose.

My wife hasn’t set up as new since she had an iPhone 4. Her backup wouldn’t load when she got it. That was 8 years ago when it launched. She will tell you her X runs great. Using back up after backup over the years. If you mention the word set up as new, she will cringe. That’s why I’ve always said if nothing broke, it’s just not necessary.

I haven’t gotten either yet lol.

It seems like it’s random because today was the first time I saw it. I don’t even know what I did to make it show up, but now that I’ve seen it once I’ll be stalking my phone to see if it comes up again lol

When you have a scheduled Do Not Disturb mode set, enabled Bedtime Mode as well. After you’ve finished with the scheduled mode, it should show that on the lock screen.

Gotcha!!! I think the first time I scheduled Bedtime Mode was yesterday. Thanks for the info

Would kind of be a nice lockscreen to have every morning without setting Do Not Disturb lol

So true since not everyone uses it!!! I’ve used scheduled DND since it was released. My friends & family don’t seem to understand what a schedule is, so I have to force it on them

I don’t think DND would work for me anyways. I’d still just check my phone anyways.

I always set up with a back up first. A lot less to do. Then if there's issues, set up as new. With all I have on my phone, it would takes me days to set back up.

Setting up as new is a must for me with brand new betas.

I hope you mean brand new full betas and not the point versions....

YouTube and maps (Apple Maps and Waze) all work well here and I did OTA over 11.4 dev beta.

I can't seem to get screen time working, any ideas?

GPS seems to be on point. Used Apple Maps all day while traveling to San Francisco, Bay Area and back to Central California.

This morning I used Google Maps with no issue, almost seems more accurate.

Figured it out, turns out my account wasn't enabled as parent or guardian in family sharing, so these options weren't showing.

I set family sharing up last week just to share iCloud storage, we use a central account for purchases.

The camera app shut down by itself when I took a few portrait shots.

Anyone try to send a picture from photos via iMessage or MMS yet? I only get the camera when I click the button.

I had the same question. They moved it, there is now a photos button in the app menu (the app bar for gifs and stickers, whatever it is called).

Snappier than the latest 11.4 Dev Beta!
I’m genuinely impressed

Sorry if someone commented on this already, but I picked up my phone, for the first time this morning, & got this lovely message. Not sure what caused it, but this is the first time I’m seeing it. Been on the beta since it was released.

I love it. I hope Apple will make it a permanent part of the lock screen, not just on the first pickup of the morning.

My screen time works fine except for the widget not loading up.

My screen time widget shows data. Sometimes it’s almost instant and other times I have to leave the widget up for about 10 seconds for it to show anything

GPS is indeed a little funky, taking long for an app like Waze to connect to GPS, to actually acquire signal and to center my position. It works but not as it should.

GPS is struggling to work. Google Maps is able to find where I am and give initial directions but when I hit Start it fails to acquire GPS. Even after 30 mins, Google Maps was not able to get it right. So GPS is completely broken I think.
