The biggest problem I have with iOS 10's beta is that LINE is totally broken, at least on my iPad. Every incoming message just says it's encrypted with Letter Sealing and can't be read.

I'm on the iOS 10 public beta 1 now and LINE works just fine for me, are you sure you have the latest app release that added end-to-end encryption?
 
Might give it a go when I get home. Last few Mac OSX betas,

"omgomgomg new os time!"

Ten minutes later...

"Everything's the same."
 
I never use the betas. But in hoping aperture still works on Sierra. I will cling to this corpse as long as I can.
 
I'm really glad Apple's making 3D Touch more of a first-class citizen and less of a tacked-on bonus feature with this update. It's absolutely the future of iOS's UI paradigms and it's excellent to see Apple making proper use of it, even if it's making my non-3D Touch iOS hardware feel like it's being given less care.

Now just bring that shit to the iPad please and thank you.
 
Anyone running Sierra off an external? Wonder how slow it'll be outside of the usual disk operations like spotlight.
 
Beta works great; here are some changes (opening apps and closing them have new animations as well)

RIP in piece

Well I'm enjoying it. Already submitted a couple pieces of feedback

Actually before I submit this next one, question for you testers: in iOS9 when I received an email in my inbox, if I wanted to know exactly which address it was coming in to (I have several tied to my contact card, my main @icloud, my secondary @gmail, and a couple work and school addresses) when I pressed my name my contact card would pop up and the email address that message was sent to would be highlighted in the card. That seems to no longer be the case. Is that correct?

Edit: However, all my widgets are broken. So you know, give and take
 
macOS feels smooth overall but it's not an 'overhaul' at all. Felt like this for several OS X/macOS updates, not that I'm complaining.

But the annual refresh makes it difficult to drastically change things.

Siri is however very accurate. Mic picks up my voice perfectly despite loud things in the background. I hope future Macs have a dedicated Siri key on the keyboard.

Ya, 10.12 isn't a huge update. Next year should see some more significant changes, especially under the hood with the new file system, if they're going to roll over to 11.0 like rumoured. (They'll temporarily avoid 13 that way, and have macOS and iOS both at 11.)
 
I'm assuming the recipient of my texts also has to have ios 10 installed to see the new emoji and text stuff, correct?
 
So for iPhones do you have to click the home button after touchid accepts your fingerpint? Kind of annoying you have to click on iPad.

Yes. There's an accessibility setting to let you rest your finger but it doesn't look active yet

Best thing to do is press the home button to wake the screen and just leave your finger there for it to grab the print and open up

I'm assuming the recipient of my texts also has to have ios 10 installed to see the new emoji and text stuff, correct?

Text effects, yes. bigger emoji are a font size, so if anyone messages you a message of only emoji it'll be bigger on your end

Honestly, the biggest overhaul macOS needs is restructuring the filetype redundancies between iTunes/Quicktime Player/Preview/iBooks, consolidating the iOS App Store into the Mac App Store, and generally breaking iTunes up so the overall result is a Music app, a Videos app, an App Store app, background sync services, and giving PDF handling solely to Preview. Maybe a Podcasts app but I don't think that's strictly necessary on macOS.

But it's a very feature-mature and UX-mature operating system at this point. I think its days of getting truly significant overhauls are over.
 
Does the music app have a recently listened to section? That tiny little thing drives me crazy whenever i open up the app
 
The only semi re-producible glitch I've encountered so far with the iOS beta is that the OS thinks I'm long-tapping to delete/move apps around when I want to start an app, anyone else have this? Other than that all my apps and widgets work just fine as on iOS 9. Default Weather widget is even useful again!
 
I'm dying at how hidden the Heart button has become in Music. It's in the three-dots in Now Playing and nowhere on the lockscreen/control center. Please give me my hearts back D:
