    Why would they get rid of the weather widget?


  • Registered Users Posts: 758 ✭✭✭Somedaythefire


    Are the banking (KBC, N26) apps working on the beta?

    The weather widget is still present in the latest beta.

    N26, AIB and Revolut all working fine. I’ve yet to test KBC but I’ll report back later if no one else confirms.

    From a snoop around the interwebs, looks like some people are reporting it missing with PB3. For those affected it looks like the fix is "Delete the widget, then open the Weather app. This should add the widget to the pane again."

    AppleInsider reported one of the Developer Beta 3 changes as "Weather widgets in iPadOS was removed".

    Not sure if that's true or just a manifestation of the issue some people are seeing.

    Restart the device it should bring back any missing icons and widgets.

    Thanks! Yeah the KBC app is the only reason I’m holding off for now.

    Can’t seem to remove pages from the floating stack. Anyone else have that problem? I can only change the order.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,076 ✭✭✭djdunny


    Not sure if it’s a standard feature or a glitch for me. When I edit the home screen, tap on the dots, it brings me to a screen which allows me to tick/untick homescreen pages. Should I be able to move the order of the pages?

    My issue is that the page I usually had as my 2nd page is now last and would like to easy arrange the order rather than having to move all the apps individually.

    That’s standard. It’s so you can hide walls of apps and folders and just have what you regularly use and then access other apps in the App Library.

    KBC is working on the current beta. Only got around to testing today as I had to ring them up because I forgot to transfer my account when I wiped my other phone.

    Nothing I do (I found a good few threads about the issue with possible fixes) will make the weather widget reappear.

    Have you opened the weather app itself? That fixed it for me.

    Yep. Uninstalled it and reinstalled it, uninstalled rebooted and reinstalled, uninstalled reinstalled opened and rebooted, and every other combination I can think of. It’s not an option in the list any more.

    Weather widget also gone on ipad.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,239 ✭✭✭Sonics2k


    How are people finding the battery life?

    Obviously it's a beta, but I'm certainly seeing a bit more of an impact on my XR.

    Installed Pb3 last night, it was quite like so just made sure installed and then put the phone on charge and went to sleep.

    Woke up this morning to find out my 11 Pro Max no doesn’t accept wireless charging. 🀦ðŸ¼*♂️

    Developer beta 4 will include exposure notifications. Assume the public beta released later in the week will include it too.

    Dev Beta 4 is out now


  • Posts: 7,712 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Hopefully they’ll add a Dark Sky widget in place of the missing Weather one.

    This is tremendous news. I’ve been holding off until exposure notifications were enabled.

    24 hours of use of iOS 14 and I really don’t care about it as an update. The App Library is kinda cool, but after spending years perfecting my own folders of apps, it’s of no real use to me. Widgets, I’ve left them to side and don’t see any real need to land them on the Home Screen taking up space I use for apps I want daily access to. I know everyone has their own use case. This is just my opinion, there’s no big difference between 13 & 14 for Dave.


  • Posts: 7,712 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    I love the widgets.

    What am I missing?


  • Posts: 7,712 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    What am I missing?

    Nothing. They are what they are, some will like them and some won’t.

    Is it worth updating to public beta ios14?


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,239 ✭✭✭Sonics2k


    What am I missing?

    Nothing really, it very much depends on the person. If there's one thing I miss about Android it was that extra touch of customization that was available.

    Both the weather and calendar widgets are very helpful for me as they're just quickly available with the information I need.

    That really depends. As it's a beta you can expect apps to break now and then, albeit generally not for long. It does also mean that builds can break a few apps

    So far the public beta has been smooth enough, occasionally Whattsapp will randomly close, but no information is lost.
