Apple updates its TestFlight app with iOS 9, WatchOS 2 features

Apple today released the fifth beta of iOS 9, and as with the previous iOS 9 betas, there are a few new features and tweaks bundled into the release. It also phases out some of the older, less graphically robust, wallpapers.

Scanning through the changes, 9to5 Mac found Wi-Fi Calling support settings on an AT&T iPhone. The first beta of iOS 9 was first released in June, and, following the launch of the fourth developer beta, several members of the developer community were wondering when Apple would start allowing developers to distribute iOS 9 app betas to external testers. Sprint and AT&T have made no official announcements about offering Wi-Fi calling, but they likely will soon. There’s no word on Verizon support at the moment and T-Mobile users have had this feature for quite some time now. It’s just spinning. After all, you’re all the way outside and far from your router. For consumers, watchOS 2 adds new features like Nightstand Mode, using photos or albums as a watch face, and various app refinements. Why can’t Apple let your iPhone automatically do this for you?

Imagine you’re connected to the Wi-Fi in your house, then you go outside to mow the lawn, and while doing that, you check your email but can’t seem to get any messages to load.

For example, if you’re using an iPhone 5 with just a 32-bit A6 chip, the app won’t install information needed for 64-bit iPhones. For example, if your current location was around a Dunkin’ Donuts and you didn’t have the app, previously your lock screen might suggest you download it – but no longer.
