iOS 13 Beta 7! 60 New Features & Changes

**Changes in Apple's iOS 13 Beta**

One notable change found in the latest beta is the notification system. When your device connects to the Internet, you will now receive a notification when it was discovered, displayed on the bottom of the Find My app. This change aims to enhance user experience and provide timely updates.

In addition to the notification system, there have been several tweaks made to the interface. For instance, the "me" section in the Find My app has undergone a design refresh. The icon for people devices is now slightly smaller, and the name field is filled in. Furthermore, the X or close button on top of the me section has been enlarged for easier accessibility.

For users who may be concerned about their friends' safety, Apple has added a new feature to the Find My app. If a friend's phone gets stolen, a link can be accessed within the app to sign in to iCloud.com and initiate recovery. This feature is intended to provide users with peace of mind, especially when dealing with sensitive information.

The receive location updates tab has also been updated. In this version, all settings are now displayed below the text rather than beside it. Moreover, the option to edit location name has been made more prominent.

**Internationalization and Localization**

Apple has taken steps to make its app more accessible to users worldwide. The Find My app's text has been modified in Norwegian and Spanish, with changes made to improve clarity and readability.

In other areas of iOS 13, Apple has worked on refining the overall design language. Many features have become slimmer and more minimalistic. For example, the title of stock apps like Fine Buy and Stocks now display this design language. Additionally, the new shortcut page has been redesigned with a similar aesthetic.

**Private Browsing and Security**

When it comes to private browsing in Safari, Apple has made significant improvements. The top bar is now dark, which provides better contrast against lighter backgrounds. Furthermore, settings for dark appearance have been enhanced, allowing users to control how their screen appears.

However, this change also means that dynamic wallpapers will no longer display the same level of visual contrast as they did before. This minor tweak has been made to ensure a more streamlined user experience.

**Privacy and Location Settings**

One of the key additions in iOS 13 is a new tab for location settings within many third-party apps and system stock apps. Users can now adjust their location preferences directly from these settings, providing greater control over how their data is shared.

In other areas, Apple has worked to enhance user safety and awareness. For example, when interacting with blocked senders in Mail, users are now presented with more options for dealing with unwanted messages.

**Audio and Music**

Music lovers will be excited about the latest updates to iOS 13's audio features. Users can now listen to local radio stations directly from within the Music app. To do this, simply search for "local radio" and you should find a list of available stations to tune into.

**Find My App and Apple Watch Integration**

Apple has continued its long-standing tradition of leaking beta-related information through test flights. In this case, an image called "hold for release" was leaked, revealing that the iPhone 11 will be released on September 10th.

Furthermore, the latest watchOS beta now integrates seamlessly with iOS 13's Find My app. Users can access their Apple Watch's Find People feature without any issues, and do not disturb notifications will also sync correctly between devices.

**Geekbench Score**

Finally, Apple has released its Geekbench score for iOS 13. The multi-core performance of the device has seen significant improvements over the previous beta. One notable change is the more responsive 3D touch functionality on the home screen within Messages.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enanother week another beta today I was 13 developer beta 7 was released we're now on a weekly release schedule so we should be seeing one of these every single week here until release in under a month can you guys believe it I was 13 is almost here I mean we've already seen seven betas we should be seeing just a few more here this one comes in at 500 megabytes about my tennis max hundred less than the last one but still a decent amount of changes inside as as usual I got some storage back on this device about 0.3 gigabytes on my personal a little over half a gigabyte and that may or may not be because Apple is officially implemented the two times faster app launch speeds and with that the storage size gets reduced as well now in order to take advantage of that this is from beta 6 you actually have to uninstall the affected application and reinstall it whichever developers do support that you'll be seeing faster app launch times and reduced app file sizes Apple card is now officially allowed to be setup on iOS 13 after updating if you were in the wait list you may or may not get an invite to go ahead and sign up for that on I was 13 just want to let you know that is officially supported now when setting up new for the first time on I was 13 beta 7 the titling is now much larger on all of the prompts and the splash screens for screen time have been fixed as you can see they were overlapping and some major issues and for Siri the overall interface has been shrunk down and made more presentable here I was 13 beta 7 will be on the right here so in the control center when enabling dark mode the switch is now much simpler it's just dark mode on and off where Apple had a stumble here on beta 6 with appearance dark off on just didn't make as much sense on the notes 3d touch platter in a control center the icons I've been made a slimmer the camera icon itself is altogether new and when setting a timer in the control center when you 3d touch and you can drag now without lifting your finger and then reapplying it so for some reason Apple did not have that working in the last beta by far the most tweaked and biggest change to iOS 13 is how 3d touch behaves and now on the control center on this beta it's been made even faster like it's an instant press pretty much how it was an I was 12 I thought it was great on beta 6 Apple has refined it further and made it even responsive now on beta 7 now I feel like the way 3d touch works is a major precursor to what we're going to be getting on the B iPhone 11 how it'll behave so watch out for that here in under a month so some new icons here as well on the weather application you can see those glyphs have been updated they look a lot more friendly like a tee a golf course or something the notes application here has those new 3d touch icons as well so those translate over from here to the control center I also noticed that in the third row of apps when you 3d touch the actual platter will appear above the widget itself not below it and that's in most cases here as you can see shows up above and there's a fundamental change in the way that things are organized or the options in the 3d touch platters here so first off rearrange apps will always appear on top now no matter which toggle you're in it always appears on top and the organization of many 3d touch platters has been changed and for an app like the App Store the overall controls have been completely reversed search now appears on the bottom with purchased at the very top which I think makes more logical sense oh and it seems like the engineers over at Apple have changed their mind about the badge it now sits above the platter where they made it sit underneath on beta 6 and the phone application has received a new icon for view most recent called it's no longer filled in and with the same wallpaper notice that the folders are back to their original look on beta 5 and earlier that are no longer very saturated and camouflaged with the background same goes for the dock it no longer is as contrasted here more white and that behavior where you can three finger tap and have the menu appear pretty much anywhere no longer works now on beta 7 so I wasn't supposed to be there Apple patched it when taking a screenshot the image no longer auto resizes when you click into it so notice how on the left it kind of shrinks down that no longer happens it's in a perfect ratio to begin with in the Photos app when you open up all photos the default view or a grid layout is now three blocks wide before it be more and a little disorienting of course you can always zoom out and see more but the default one is now three wide also in photos something not new to this version but generally new to I was 13 is that in a year blocks you can actually slide and get a little randomized jumble of the photos throughout the year a very nice feature also not new to beta 7 but one definitely worth mentioning is if you have a consecutive amount of live photos and you 3d touch on one it'll play them all like a video until you get to the end that is seriously cool the share sheet now loads faster on beta 7 especially on older devices and the more actual plugins third-party apps you have you know no longer effects speed wise in the home wallpaper very unexpected changes that Apple has returned the old wallpapers here the three gradients alongside the new ones so this is a trend that I hope they continue with the stock settings wallpapers let's see and from beta 6 in the home app switches have a new look a nice juicy button here more clickable a very strange one is in the weather app 3d touching on a weather prompt no longer brings up a little preview instead it goes right to transfer mode where you can move it around before you'd have to drag that preview around and then go into that mode so I don't know why they just change that but you know that's different and the shortcuts app when opening it for the first time the splash screen no longer mentions anything about automations could this be a bad sign that Apple will not be returning it anytime soon and another fundamental change with 3d touch in beta 7 for example in App Store the preview windows seem to be bigger everywhere system-wide and also when you click on them you no longer get this drawn-out animation it's instant you jump right in to what you were looking at and the same goes for in the messages app for example here's a peek version you click on it you jump right in no longer has a weird animation where it kind of draws out and then goes in and in the health app high heart rate notifications now appear up top very visually separated to let you know that yeah something may be wrong with you and that's new I haven't seen that before something I've also noticed is that 3d touch within the messages application is faster more responsive for me on beta 7 especially one where you have a lot of conversations and again that animation where you jump through now available here it changes the game completely for me look at how rough that looked and within the messages app on larger devices the preview window is now larger so you can see it fits more in and as a result at the bottom text is no longer cut off so that's evenly placed you can see it there is also a new haptic feedback when you click through it's very subtle but it's there in the attachment section of messages when 3d touching on a video to play it it now plays in full-screen with these bars on the sides previously it was slightly cut off video but at least you're getting the full and you here also when 3d touching on an image or any file really you have the option to delete it now directly from the attachments page same goes for links several changes in the fine Maya first off notify one found is now working in iOS 13 beta seven so whenever your device connects to the Internet you will get a notification when it was discovered on the bottom of the find my app there are new icons for people devices is slightly smaller and me is now filled in and of course what would a beta be without a change in the X or close button up top it's been made larger here in a very nice touch in the me section so in case your friends phone gets stolen there's a link over here for help a friend which essentially just takes you to iCloud comm to sign in to the Find My iPhone over there because you can't sign out of it over here most people in the moment may get confused so I think that's great also in the receive location updates tab everyone is now below the text not beside it and name current location is now called edit location name otherwise the same function also the spelling for the find my app in a couple languages has been changed in Norwegian and in Spanish they just didn't make sense before now I from donde esta do encontrada in the shortcuts app in the appleís app icons for fine buy and stocks have been added in the titling throughout the app has been made slimmer here not only here but in the new shortcut page as well in the private browsing mode of Safari the top bar is now dark or before it was a little translucent and in Safari from beta 6 if you try and open more than 500 tabs you get this pop-up here asking you to close some older tabs in order to accommodate that within settings in the control center and toggle settings dark appearance is now dark in here as well in the wallpaper settings dark appearance and dims wallpaper now it works once again except not like it did before now instead of making it more contrasted it just darkens the image slightly which is not as much of a visual change but it's there in dynamic wallpapers no longer have the blanked out icons you can now see the previews once again in the location settings privacy alerts is now location alerts with no change on the inside and within many app settings there is now a tab for location so this has been added to many of the third-party and system stock apps where you can adjust location directly from within the settings within the mail settings ignore blocked senders is now blocked sender options where it now gives you more than one way to deal with blocked senders in the phone settings in the silence unknown caller section there's a new description letting you know that incoming calls will continue to ring from people in your contacts recent outgoing calls and Siri suggestions from earlier certain albums will have this badge here Apple digital master letting you know that it's been mastered for iTunes directly from within that app also added in the last beta is the ability to listen to local radio stations directly from within the music application just search and you should be able to find them in the watch app in the App Store section and the splash screen has been updated made easier to read and after updating to the latest watch OS beta on your Apple watch you have the latest find my app except here it's called find people also do not disturb will properly sync now between your Apple watch and your iPhone so no longer is there a discrepancy on both as long as they're both updated to the latest betas also within the code on beta 7 Apple is continuing a long-standing tradition of leaking stuff within iOS the latest one is an image called hold for release and it shows a September 10 to release date so this is basically telling us the iPhone 11 will be released on September 10th as has been predicted and within test flight there's a new share feedback screen which shows you how to take a screenshot and share it with a developer for feedback and now within certain apps you can sign in with Apple that's one of the most convenient things about iowa's 13 and is available for testing now and lastly here is the Geekbench score so improved multi over the last beta biggest change here is a 3d touch which is more responsive not all on the home screen within messages pretty much anywhere you can't invoke it overall I'm so happy where Iowa's 13 has gone on a refinement scale we're less than a month away keep you updated on any of the changes but mostly everything that we've seen has been established here so thanks for watching see you on the next oneanother week another beta today I was 13 developer beta 7 was released we're now on a weekly release schedule so we should be seeing one of these every single week here until release in under a month can you guys believe it I was 13 is almost here I mean we've already seen seven betas we
