    Screentime - how are you getting on with it?

    I’d really be interested to know if any of you here are putting screentime through its paces. My experience with it (public beta) has been underwhelming. For example: Many of us (ok I am) are news junkies and so I was looking forward to having an easy setting to use to limit my time on news...

    Tracking automatic updates...?

    Is there a means of seeing how many automatic updates are being installed on the public betas? I ask as I have submitted two tickets through Feedback Assistant with regards to Messages. Before it crashed a lot or hung, and now it (for the moment at least) seems to be relatively stable. I want...

    iPhone Restore from a Beta Backup

    I have latest version of the 11.4.1 Public Beta (4) installed. The only backup I have was created was done with the PB 4. If I want to do a factory reset, can I restore from the backup created with the 11.4.1 Public Beta 4 (via iTunes to ensure it is a complete one)? I guess the same question...

    Mojave on second partition, AFPS

    In the past when I've wanted to try out a new macOS version in beta, I've created a disk partition and installed it there. But with AFPS it asks me if I want to do a partition or create a new volume. I'm not quite up on the distinctions with volumes vs partitions and just wanted to ask, what...

    Hi people, I would like to install public beta of iOS 12 on my devices and I want to be 100% sure, that it won’t break iCloud sync when I possibly downgrade back to iOS 11. Last year iOS 11 broke Safari Bookmarks sync on older iOS and that sucked. So can anyone confirm that everything works...

    QuickType and Autocorrect on iOS12

    I am not sure if it's just me but I feel that QuickType and Autocorrect have been awful for the past few versions of iOS, maybe since they started implementing heavy Machine Learning algorithms to predict what the user is trying to type. As a person that switches between languages many times a...
