Support NeoGAF

[Hatty]

Just installed on my Air 2 and it's pretty great. Slide overs essentially being the iPhone version is pretty slick and should make it easy for devs to adapt

 

[mrklaw]

is there any way to play youtube videos picture in picture at the moment? seems like it only works with videos that play in apples own video player for now

Not from the youtube apps, but yes utube videos embedded in safari (I'm watching a strange Japanese McDonald's advert while typing this). Also the video slides up when the keyboard comes up,which is nice.

Post the YouTube video to GAF, and mobile GAF will embed it in a format that can be PiP'd

Obviously this is not ideal. Does make reading threads about a video a lot easier though.

 

[Majine]

The new task switcher is pretty (but obviously ripped from Android Lollipop).

 

[Deku Tree]

Wow beta website is getting slammed. Apple usually has such high bandwidth that you never notice these things.

 

[Tattooth]

How do I change my time so it isn't lowercase, it looks awful?

 

[(mat)]

Stoked for the new Podcasts App.

I may be in the minority here, but I hate the current Music app. Haven't updated yet because of it. Let me have my artists/songs/playlists at the bottom plz.

That's weird, I'm on the dev beta 3 and my time isn't lowercase.

 

[RedShift]

Being able to tab between apps with a Bluetooth keyboard is really nice.

 

[killertofu]

Theres no way to have two videos playing at the same time right?

 

[Nihilistic Monk]

Such a great feature. Watching giantbomb videos in a window whilst posting on GAF. Feels like the future!

The UK region setting uses lowercase abbreviations. The US region setting uses uppercase letters.

Use 24 hour time like a civilized human

 

[TheZink]

It's been retry unstable on my 5S. I may need to go back to 8.4. It's crashing and lagging all over the place

 

[ckohler]

I only have the iPad 2. Can I do picture in picture?

 

[TheZink]

I only have the iPad 2. Can I do picture in picture?

I think it's only the air 2

 

[Majine]

I think it's only the air 2

No, Mini 2, Mini 3, Air 1 and Air 2 can do PiP. Not iPad 2 tho.

Air 2 is the only one that can do 50/50 two apps at once.

Sweet. I stand corrected

 

[shoryukens]

So I hit the download profile button and all it did was install the feedback app.

Neat.

Edit: Forget to check settings. This is my first time installing ios betas

 

[Broken Hope]

Then you search for updates as normal.

Weird. Mine is in caps like usual.

Edit:

Running on iPhone 6 Plus.

Liking it so far, but I can't say I'm a fan of the keyboard letters not popping up as I tap them. I don't know. Maybe I'll get used to it.

Downloading onto my iPad Air 2 but I'm going on my internship shift so I won't be able to test it til tomorrow. I can't wait.

 

[RedSwirl]

You can do both of those. Mail supports attachments from any other storage source that you have set up. Right now I can attach files from iCloud Drive, Dropbox and OS X Server.

As far as I know you can send a single attachment from within another app, but I haven't figured out how to start an e-mail, then attach multiple files to it if there is in fact a way to do that.

Long press in the text area to bring up the options for attachments and formatting.

 

[shoryukens]

Is anyone else stuck on "Checking for Update" ?

You can put that back in settings, under keyboard.

 

[Tarkus]

If this is beta 3, then why does it say downloading iOS 9 Public Beta 1?

 

[ramyeon]

Developer Beta 3.
Public Beta 1.

Same thing, different names.

Thanks. Good, I'm glad I'm not getting something rough as shit.

 

[Yaboosh]

How do you activate split screen?

 

[Majine]

How do you activate split screen?

In an app: Swipe from the right to bring in an app on the side, then tap the divider between it and the background app.

If there is no divider, either the app doesn't support splitscreen or you don't have the supported iPad.

 

[zigg]

Anyone have a Pebble?

Curious if the public beta is going to work with it. The first developer beta didn't.

 

[FatalT]

Post the YouTube video to GAF, and mobile GAF will embed it in a format that can be PiP'd

Obviously this is not ideal. Does make reading threads about a video a lot easier though.

Is there a setting anywhere to make that work? When I tap on Youtube links on GAF it doesn't do anything anymore. I can hold on it and tap "Open in Youtube" though but then it opens it in the app in a separate window.

 

[samn]

Any way to use splitscreen 3rd party apps? Anywhere to sign up for testflight beta versions or something?

 

[Maninthemirror]

I just tested out safari in extreme conditions ( open the pics that make you laugh thread in OT community ) and the performance is better than iOS 8

I am also loving the font. Reminds me a lot of seeing text on a MacBook pro

 

[HUELEN10]

I can confirm that after a hard shutdown/boot up of the watch, Pebble functions just peachy!

 

[kaskade]

I think I'm going to install it on my phone. I feel like living on the edge.

 

[Moon_frogger]

all I want is the promised reduction in OS storage space. shit takes up way to much space on my 16 gb phone. Unacceptable.

 

[VeeP]

Any idea on the release date for the release of iOS 9?

 

[OneEightZero]

So the icons at the top still allow for speed scrubbing of the open apps. But they should put those in a straight line at the bottom so I'm not looking around my hand as I scroll.

 

[HowZatOZ]

Have they changed it so the Music App is separate to the iTunes & App Store? Rather annoying having to turn on "Use Mobile Data" so I can actually use Apple Music but then have to turn Apps, Books and Updates off in-order to not use my mobile data.

 

[Qblivion]

the beta pretty much ruined hangouts for me. notifications don't work and there is a ton of lag in receiving messages.

is it possible to revert to 8.4 if I didn't create a backup beforehand?

 

[killertofu]

Might not be the place for this but is there any way to retrieve a message thread that I accidentally deleted?

 

[TheLaughingStock]

Honestly iOS9 looks sharper there lol.

The top one looks sharper than the bottom on my TV that I'm hooked up to atm.

 

[Michael F. Assbender]

You can put that back in settings, under keyboard.

You have no idea how happy this made me.

Though you'd think I'd learn to hunt for solutions myself before complaining.

 

[Joel Was Right]

iPhone 6 user here and these are my impressions.

Performance is slow when accessing spotlight. Perhaps it's still populating data?

The app switcher view is similarly slow. Beyond that, this view doesn't show you much of the app screen - something the cards of iOS 7 had.

Quick question: Where is the recent/favourite contacts that used to appear at the top of the screen when switching apps?

 

[Broken Hope]

Should be around the same time as the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus, so September.

Yeah, I like how in the current app switcher you can open it to quickly check text in another app and then go back to what you were doing. That doesn't look possible with the new one (I don't have it installed to see how it actually works).

And they binned it.

 

[rocksteady1983]

- Option in alarm sound settings to disable Vibration or choose a custom one.

fucking finally.

True. It actually had a purpose. What does this new app switcher offer? Nothing. It actually removes a useful aspect like you mentioned.

 

[The Real Abed]

Yeah, the new switcher is weird. It seems to leave very little room to close apps. And you do lose that ability to peek in on the previous app for a second since half of it is obscured now.
