Honestly, that may just be a bug or an oversight. Apple deliberately regressed the toggle to only "soft" off the WiFi radio not too long ago.The WiFi toggle Control Center finally completes turns off the WiFi radio. Thank Crom.
Let us know how it goes. Last year I found out that beta means beta. A lot of broken stuff that will be fixed by launch. Let us know what sort of issues you have.Public Beta is available now. Upgrading now!
I’ll be waiting until at least the weekend. I rely on my phone to get my ass up in the morning for work so a bit too much paranoia to update prior to working.How many of you are updating immediately? Whats your experience so far if you have (this question will be relevant for at least a month or so)?
Yeaaaah. I'm finding that it's my least favorite thing of the update. I wish I could just delete all of the icons (or remove the entire drawer). Maybe I'll post a picture of my screen, but I'm ultra fastidious. Every app is organized in folders by type and everything is literally alphabetized. I have every app on a single page and still enough space to have a wide widget stack at the top. The whole point is I hate the multi-page concept to begin with (so avoiding all swiping) in order to have a faster more direct home screen. Swipping to the app drawer page is just straight nonsensical chaos in comparison.So far so good. I'm not sure who wanted that App Library page at the end, but whatever.
That's been there in some form since iOS 12. The main difference now is the new widgets that can be placed on the home screen.The left-most widget page.. still awaiting judgement. Getting used to the little tweaks to photos etc.
Plenty of widgets from app developers are able to occupy the home screen - they just had to update a few things and conform to its limitations (vs the widgets in the "left screen" widget zoo). The weather app, CARROT, is far superior to the stock Apple Weather one and offers multiple sizes/styles. It's going to be a mess, really.That's been there in some form since iOS 12.

I can't remember, but I don't think that Apple is allowing devs to have homescreen widgets yet, those are only reserved for Apple first party stuff. So in other words there are a few widgets that I still want or need that are relegated to the left screen. That's probably my only other minor complaint: that I can't have a YouTube Music Widget on my homescreen yet.
Apple also recently bought Dark Sky, which many say is the best weather app on any platform. A bunch of people got annoyed by this, since it was also the best weather app on Android and Apple removed it from the Play Store. Mostly talking to myself, but I guess I should see if there is a widget for that and also checkout the app.Plenty of widgets from app developers are able to occupy the home screen - they just had to update a few things and conform to its limitations (vs the widgets in the "left screen" widget zoo).

I agree about the swipe down vs the app list/catalog. Some of these "features" are just mess/bloat.
Yeah I would not get the Dark Sky App - the "hyperlocal" rain indicator has been absorbed into the Apple Weather app. The API has also been pretty much shut down (no new applications, etc.) so other weather apps will no doubt lose access to it. I mentioned CARROT for a reason - it's a solid application with additional features (all subscription unfortunately) that do make it more useful... for a price.Apple also recently bought Dark Sky, which many say is the best weather app on any platform.

EDIT: It's apparently a paid app and it hasn't been updated since the beginning of the year. It's probably worth "not" buying until there is an iOS14 update for it - but I also recognize that may never come. Apple may just be intending to absorb all of Dark Sky into their own weather app... meaning at some point it could be free. And also meaning that there may not ever be another Dark Sky update.

I might need to see a video. As at least what I'm doing to try and follow these instructions aren't working.My wife showed me last night that if you start the “edit Home Screen”, then press the app drawer on bottom, it will take you to a screen where you can hide entire drawers.
That all comes down to your personal preferences though. I am highly selective with which widgets I use. So I think its on each individual user to add them or turn them on or off. If you have clutter, then it's time for you to go in and just get rid of everything you don't want.What I find is that every app is rushing to implement widgets. What was once a mess in the widget area is now a mess in the main home screens. I'm not sure this is for the better.
I wish I could figure out how to do even that much. Or just turn off the entire app drawer screen.it would be nice if I could rearrange drawers/screen pages. the edit option is nice to turn drawers on or off, but its limited. I should be able to rearrange them too..

The other part of that equation is the widget stacks. And that has helped immensely with this particular issue. I only have one widget stack on my home screen (with 3 widgets) and that's it. And then the limited few stacks on my widget screen.
