    It’s a pity Microsoft didn’t go the tile route a bit more with their Android Microsoft Launcher.

    Anyone using it with an Apple Watch?
    Used to always enjoy installing the beta’s.

    Main fear is losing data with my Apple Watch.

    It’s getting more like Windows Phone by the year...

    Well I think you aren't being forced to put any widgets on your screen. So if you don't like it you can still have the classic iPhone look.

    Might as well wait for the public beta, later next month.

    I have iOS 14 on phone and Watch OS7 on my watch. Only had one bug, haptics were t working but a restart solved it. Been perfect other than that. Seriously snappy!

    Ah ok you need to have Dev profile. Is there something you need to do in order to get the public beta in next couple of weeks? How/where would I download from?

    It'll be here:

    https://beta.apple.com/sp/betaprogram/

    Once you sign up and have the Public Beta Profile on your device(s), you download the PBs and updates as you would regular OS updates.

    just be wary of downloading a beta 1 on your main phone , apps may not work as they normally do

    The new COVID tracking app doesn’t seem to work on the beta.

    That doesn’t appear to be the apps fault, COVID-19 Emergency Locator doesn’t seem to be available in this region on iOS 14.

    Was mentioned as a known issue in the beta release notes of iOS 14 in your developer account. The issue is apple’s. My guess is that the two were worked on in parallel and they hadn’t time to port it over to the ios 14 code branch as Apple like to segment who works on what.

    I wasn't having a dig at the app, just letting people know.

    Balls, I’d went back with mine today so the app would work.

    Unless you're a developer of an Exposure Notification app this shouldn't really be an issue?

    Unless they're a developer who has the app on their main phone and want to have the covid app working :pac:

    that's why we have test devices. Currently on my developer desk there's an 11Pro, iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 6s and an Galaxy S8, only one has iOS 14 on it and it ain't my 11Pro daily carry :pac:

    Public beta starts today.

    Who's making the plunge?

    I’m fairly new to these, do you need to download a different profile to the dev one to get that?
