A week after Beta 4, Apple has launched the fifth Beta of iOS 7. It seems that those of Cupertino are in a hurry to prepare the mobile operating system that is expected to see the light this September, and after having lost a week for the failures in the developer center, it seems that it wants to make up for lost time and that is why the new Beta has seen the light today, August 6. The news are many, both aesthetic changes and new options and functions. We explain the most important ones for both iPhone and iPad.
Settings
The menu Settings includes new icons for the main menus. iOS 7 abandons the extreme minimalist that many complained about, and the settings acquire more color with the new icons that we can see in the screenshot.
Some users complained that in certain applications, especially in games, it was common for the Control Center to appear unintentionally. In this Beta 5 a new option appears within the Settings to be able to prevent Control Center from appearing with device locked or in apps.
iOS 7 Beta 5 releases a new twitter icon both on the sharing screen and in the other menus where the "bird" icon appears.
The slide bar to turn off the device has been modified improving its appearance, which by the way, was quite necessary.
In rural areas of India, families in charge of a blind minor frequently isolate and deprive him/her of the care and attention they provide to their other children; such situation becomes even more severe among lower-caste families, orphans and if the blind child is a girl. notifications a small bar appears at the bottom. If you swipe down, the Notification Center will appear.
The iPhone the buttons that appear while on a call They are real buttons, that is, they are surrounded by a circle that delimits them, something that did not happen in the previous Betas.
Another small step back in the minimalism of iOS 7. Within the menu Settings> General> Accessibility we can activate the labels of the buttons On / Off, then the O / I appear that indicate that it is on or off.
other developments that are worth highlighting in this new Beta:
- The bug that caused that when locking the device the sound had a delay with respect to the lock. In addition, the sound has disappeared when unlocking, we do not know if by mistake.
- The control buttons on the headphones are working properly.
- Twitter and Skype are working properly.
- The restart screens will be white with the apple in black in the case of a white device, and black with the white icon in the case of a black device.
- Improved lock screen playback controls.
- Performance improvements. Some older devices no longer have certain transparencies to improve performance.
- Improvements in the lock screen that showed the operator name superimposed on the WiFi icon in some cases.
We will publish here any other news that we notice in this new Beta. By the way, you can still install the Beta without being a developer, so if you want to try it you can do it taking the precaution of update your device, do not restore.

Luis when turning off the iPhone and then turning it on with this beta in the black iPhone lasts 2 minutes and in the white it takes almost 3 minutes to turn on, has this happened to you? And another thing, twitter was also updated today and the bugs that it had with the previous beta returned, you have to press the icons on the bar several times so that they work at least on my two iPhone 5 this happens to me. Please tell me if you have any of these bugs. update them via ota
The same thing happens to me with iphone 5 and with 2 ipad minis
I have the same problem since beta 4
2 min. 32 sg with beta 5 on white iphone 5….
2 minutes 35 seconds on my iPad Mini. The reboot time is exaggeratedly long. Hopefully they fix it quickly.
Regarding Twitter, it works for me if I press and hold my finger on the button for a second.
Thank you, Luis, you are always so attentive to concerns
They forgot the little new detail in the notification center, the advertising down to the latest from Yahoo!
True, Yahoo is having an increasing presence on iOS
I have an error on the ipad when I close an app with 5 fingers, the ipad freezes, only the wallpaper comes out without the app and it does not allow you to do anything ... forcing the ipad to restart.
That doesn't happen to me on my iPad Mini
True that, the iPad gets stuck, and the icons no longer follow you when you move the ipad.
Transparencies have disappeared on iPad 3. Scheduled obsolescence?
They appear to me on my iPad Mini. Check your device settings to see if you have them disabled.

Look at my screenshot
It is not bad vibes, but if they ask you about other despotics that are NOT IPad Mini, how can you answer that? I see that they ask you questions about other devices and you only answer that you have IPad Mini, which makes me an absurd answer.
The iPad Mini is today one of the most limited iPads out there in terms of specifications. That is why I answer, since I do not have an iPad 3 with which I can take a capture and see if the transparencies work or not. If they work on my iPad Mini, the logical thing is that on the iPad 3 they should work. I'm just trying to help, it's not an absurd answer.
I don't know how to put a screenshot here, but I no longer have transparencies in ios 7 beta 6 either, the center control looks all white and the keyboard looks either black or white. I rectify and know how to put captures. The fact is that the transparencies disappeared in ios 7 beta five and six, I am very pissed off I need help, they can be reactivated in iOS 7. Thanks in advance
What device are you talking about?

iPad 3. I do not understand why this happens in the betas prior to beta 5 there was transparency and everything was completely fluid in it. Now, since beta 5, they have eliminated the transparencies in a device that is superior in hardware to the iPad mini (GPU 4 cores, 1 GB of RAM. The processor is the only thing that does not change compared to the iPad mini. I know you do not you are Apple, but I don't know anyone else who has an iPad 3 running iOS 7. I think I remember that your colleague Pablo Ortega has an iPad 3. Anyway, I don't know if I'm the only one whose transparencies don't work. Could you please confirm it for me? If it is true that the transparencies have been eliminated in a device that is only one year old and that inferior devices in hardware such as the iPad mini can run them, it would seem to me a fairly clear case of programmed obsolescence, worthy of mention in a blog with so many followers like this. First of all, thank you so much for taking an interest in my problem and contributing to one of the best Apple news blogs on the net
Sorry for the misspellings in the comment, I'm using a wireless keyboard and can't find the damn accent.
Well, I can not confirm anything, because I have not seen any iPad 3 with the beta installed. See if someone can say something about it.

The same thing happened to me and I already found the solution: settings - accessibility - increase contrast and you deactivate it and that's it
Planned Obsolescence Level: Apple
The mediset moto gp app does not work, how do I solve it?
You will have to wait for them to update.

One thing, I have seen that on my iPad when you make the gesture to close an application with your five fingers, the ipad no longer responds, you keep the background image and you have to turn it off, it takes a long time and in the end you have to put it on DFU mode by pressing Turn off and the plus button to increase the volume.
Icons no longer follow you when you move the ipad.
On the iphone 5, if you are talking on the phone with bluetooth headphones and you receive a second call, after a few minutes of conversation. (just enough for the iphone to stay in screen locked mode) when you try to answer and hang up the previous one from the iphone screen, the mobile is reset.
If it happens to you while connected to the car, and you pick up the second call from the car, what it does is put the first call on hold instead of hanging up and answering.
