Apple officially released iOS 12 developer beta 11 and also iOS 12 public beta 9 recently. This update comes barely days after the release of the last iOS 12 beta for developers, meaning additional features and updates are likely to be kept at a minimum.
Hence, it would be best to first take a look at what iOS 12 will be bringing soon. The significant changes are expected to help improve iPhone and iPad users, especially older devices, Apple Insider said. Among the changes to expect are the following:
- ARKit 2.0 with shared experiences
- Refined searching and sharing of photos
- Siri access to third-party devices
- Better Siri shortcuts to apps like voice memos, Apple news, and Apple books
- Memoji messages
- Up to 32 users when using FaceTime and more
There are plenty of interesting features to look forward to, most likely to be part of the next iOS update for both iPhones and iPads. Being in the beta stages, it only seems natural that there will be kinks to experience along the way who are eager to see for themselves.
One of the latest bugs tied up to iOS 12 is reportedly the erroneous messages that pop up on devices. According to 9 to 5 Mac, many iOS 12 beta users are being prompted, asking them to update to the latest beta release despite the fact that there is no update available.
It seems that the reason for this bug is because of a bug in the iOS 12 beta 11 that makes it think that the current build will be expiring soon. It could be an oversight or perhaps a sign that another update could be out before the final and stable version is ready for deployment.
The iOS update prompts have reportedly become more frequent with each passing day, Guilherme Rambo said on his social media account. They happen when a user unlocks their iPhone, something that other users are allegedly experiencing as well.
Apple has yet to issue an explanation on this occurrence although an update could alleviate the problem at some point. Seeing how the Cupertino company has been ramping up the frequency of releases, there is a possibility of seeing another beta rolling out soon.
As for the erroneous prompts, there is no clear fix on the issue. With iOS 12 expected to be released in September, folks who have tried out the beta version may as well wait for the official and stable release of the mobile operating system.
