What’s new in iOS 12.1 Beta 5?
iOS 12.1 Developer Beta 5 weighs around 200MB on all compatible devices and its build number is 16B5089b.
We haven’t got our hands on the release notes yet, but there’s a great chance that this version at least fixes some of the bugs that were present in older Beta 4 and below.
For instance, a bug in Beta 4 that prevents iPhone from rebooting and caused random freezes should now be fixed. This version should also fix camera not saving photos to the camera roll as reported by some users.
Further, the home screen stutter that several users experienced in Beta 4 has been eliminated now.
Alongside iOS 12.1 Beta 5, Apple has also seeded watchOS 5.1 Beta 5 and tvOS 12.1 Beta 5 for the developers.
If you are a registered Apple developer, you can get this update from the Apple Developer Center. If you are yet to receive this update, wait for the OTA to populate.
