Nothing seems to be changed in this revised release. Same issues from previous release of beta four. The ring switch still doesn’t work and the Safari screen issue is still prevalent. Probably won’t get fixed until beta five.

I have not found any changes, either.

Ok guys first on the public beta we can now drag and drop apps again as per iOS16. The weird one is UK Siri voices that were totally crashing VO at a certain row and column number has kind of been fixed. When flicking now when you get to that point the Siri voice goes off, a slight pause then Daniel speaks the app. If you then carry on flickin your original Siri voice comes back and all works normally. Assume this is a temp fix.

Just checked and if you actually double tap on the app that crashed VO it then defaults to the correct voice. some what interestingly if you go to the app switcher to close the app that app is still spoken in the Daniel voice. Now that is weird.

to mute, turn off voiceover then use the mute switch. before the re-release, i believe we get the feedback that it is muted with vibration like always, but this new one nothing so at first i assume it is not muted but when i screenlock but get no sound and someone call still no sound then i realize it works but the vibration that shows that it is muted is not there when we use the switch. Just when muted switch ya, but for other the vibration works.

It seems to work, but on my very crowded third page, I'd like to swap the locations of two apps that are next to each other. I tried it twice, and both times it decided to make a new folder with the two apps instead. I'd report it if I could better explain it.

So it’s interesting. When looking at the options when trying to drag drop, the before is sometimes missing, and the after is sometimes missing. Also, if you try to drop the app before another app, it seems to put it after it. And if you try to put it after it, it drops it before it. This has been really kind of messed up for quite some time in general.

Sad that apple put audio with the apps instead of putting it next to dictation. When to the app in message and try to move it to front. Could not move it. I thought you could arange the apps in message. Public beta 2.
