Hope this fixes the copy and paste bug.
i hope it fixes several bugs
Like my broken blue tooth calling in my car!
@jrox16 This was already fixed in beta 1.
There is no end of road in software bug list.
I hope it fixes a LOT of bugs!!
Any info on the AppleTV beta?
Here’s hoping it’ll fix the vibration notification echo and the occasional inability to swipe up notifications.
iCloud Backup
Fixed in iOS 8.1 Beta 2
After restoring from iCloud backup you may be unable to sync new music or movie content from iTunes.
Photos
Fixed in iOS 8.1 Beta 2
If iCloud Photo Library beta is enabled, Settings > iCloud > Photos may crash
Thought i was the only one with that issue. iOS 8 isn’t synching my PLAYLIST either.
Any new regarding Pay?
No, nothing!
uh, http://www.macrumors.com/2014/10/08/apple-pay-setup-screen/
I have 8.1. 2 I like it.
no u have 8.0.2 8.1.2 doesn’t exist. unless your calling that 8.1 beta 2? its not tho, don’t confuse ppl cuz eventually 8.1.2 will exist.
Now I have I OS. 8.1
Not fixed: remembering order of items in the Share Sheet
I’ve reported this last beta; will try the feature i have yet to and i’ll keep on reporting if i keep noticing it.
Is the messages app fixed?
elaborate? there was nothing major wrong with messages what r u experiencing?
Sometimes when I pull up the app, it displays white empty boxes instead of messages and after about 5-10 seconds it pops up a new message form. When I hit cancel to get back to my messages, those empty boxes are still there. I close out the app and reopen, doesnt fix it. I have to restart the phone to get back to my messages. This is on an iPhone 6.
Did they fix the bug where the music app doesn’t display some album art?
The advice I got on Apple’s website didn’t help. “Just redownload the songs.” All 1,000+? Fuck off.
well u said SOME album art therefore you wouldn’t need to download all 1,000+ lol
I hope that can fixe the fact that my iPad Air and my iPhone 4S are restarted, more the iPad that the iPhone. If I surf on Internet or watching anything the iPad restarted until 2 times in 2 hours
iOS 8.1 beta 2 is buggy i can’t get on WIFI now! just keeps searching for it but NEVER finding it! wtf
iOS 8.1 betas 1 and 2 both have wifi issues. It looses connection where it didn’t before (and am therefore on LTE when I should be connected to wifi). Some share sheet problems and interactive notifications problems as well (mostly for messages notifications). Some read/unread bugs for messages as well.
Even with these bugs, 8.1 b2 is still less buggy than 8.0. or 8.0.2
