iOS 13 Public Beta 3

[A900ss]

All,

Can anybody running iOS 13 Public Beta 3 on an iPhone confirm if the Barclay Mobile Banking app works OK?

I've not downloaded the first two public Beta's so that most of the bugs can be ironed out but I do want to download Public Beta 3 if Barclays works.

Many thanks

I don't use Barclays but I downloaded the app to try for you and it opens ok without crashing.

I have got a few of the smaller apps that don't work and a couple of the bigger ones (Halifax for example) do crash randomly but work most of the time.

For the sake of waiting a little while longer, having tried IOS 13 I'd probably wait for the general release instead. The apps are gradually being updated and will more likely be less buggy by the time the general release is out.

Thanks

Unfortunately lack of patience won!!!

Barclays and Amex apps both work if anyone is interested.

No problem.

Having looked at the new features, I can't see anything really worth rushing to upgrade for.

Did I miss something ?

For me the nice upgrade is CarPlay. An overview of the look and feel was well overdue.

Bloody Barclays with their iPhone bias! my understanding is you can use Apple pay on Barclays and they support BETA versions of iOS.

Android, no Google Pay and no support for Android BETA's at all.

Does the dashboard work with any mapping outside Apple Maps, or is that still a restriction in this beta?
if it doesn't work with Waze then I think it will be a fail...

Haven't seen a way to switch it from Apple maps on the home screen yet.

To be fair though I don't use that home dashboard, I have waze open with my favorite app icons just along the right side. Seems to work well.

I just wish you could use carplay over bluetooth in a VW.

The latest beta works better than v1. I can use the Ring Go parking app now.

How flippin' sad is that the say i'm pleased to be able to pay for parking, lol.

As mentioned above, no, Apple maps only.

Is it supposed to show Third Party map apps in the final version? (I don’t like Waze but would like to see Google Maps in the new dashboard. I run Waze in the background only for notifications as I don’t like it’s routing algorithm).

It seems to be unknown currently, but if the main extra to carplay on ios13 is the dashboard and yet it can only be used for apple maps, that is very restrictive, and to be honest, of little interest to me, and one assumes many others...

There is more to it but it’s small improvements including album artwork now shown, dark mode looks good and ability to view daily calendar.

It certainly feels more modern and the look is miles ahead of android auto. I use both and prefer CarPlay.

Probably the best round up of the new features I’ve seen is in the link below.
