Okay what the heck is this??? Any thoughts? Turn iMessage on and off? lol

This was not a UI bug, as I tested it by AirDropping a image to a separate device not connected to my hotspot and it worked just fine.

I always thought the purpose of disabling WiFi when hot spotting was because of some hardware limitation, but now I’m left wondering, especially since most devices in Apples ecosystem utilize WiFi to do their “magic.”

Ands sadly this isn’t a feature either, as toggling on and off the hotspot returned it to its normal functionality of disabling WiFi.

Apple finally added a long-awaited feature to the Files app: jumping to the enclosing folder of a file. Before you had select "Get Info" then tap of the file path, so having "Show in Enclosing Folder" is a welcome change!

Can someone confirm if this is available also on iOS 18.2?

Update: Confirmed on iOS 18.1.1

Update 2: It was actually added since iOS 16, my bad

I searched around for an answer, but couldn’t find it. Has any had issues connecting a new device that is running IOS beta 18.2 to Alexa? I can’t do it through the app or going straight device to device pairing. My iPad is running the beta, but has no issue because it was paired before installing the beta. On my other non-beta iOS devices I have no problem.

With the latest beta, the Xcode Previews app suddenly appeared on home screen. However, I don't have a Mac nor Xcode. How can I hide this app again?

When I run Cloudflare warps 1.1.1.1 DOH service on my phone, the handoff from Siri to Chat GPT breaks. The "Working with ChatGPT" dialog always appears, so Siri does detect that it should hand off to the LLM, but there's is never a response, always a "something went wrong". This happens both when asking a voice question, or text to Siri. Anyone else experience this?

Sorry if this is a duplicate post. I searched for any relevant posts before posting this and the only one I found apparently didn’t go into to much detail (not that there’s much detail to go into), so if this is too similar, mods feel free to delete this post.

Their device was a device without an always on display though (iPhone 12), while mine is an iPhone 14 Pro. The StandBy function seems to be completely busted. All troubleshooting steps aside from resetting the device have proved futile.

Don’t mistake this as a complaint post however. This is a Beta, it’s what we sign up for plus this is a development device. I’m merely posting this as a way for anyone else who may be experiencing this issue, and unsure if it could be related to the beta or not.

I have filed the appropriate feedback: FB15980264

Mail is showing that I only have 2 unread emails despite the obvious. I don’t mind sharing my subs here as it’s no big secret. Even the Mail icon badge number is incorrect on the Home Screen which shows 2 as well. This was an issue for me in DB3 and is still ongoing.

When I receive a FaceTime call, while the phone is ringing, my AV receiver switches to Spotify and begins to play music. I don’t have any shortcuts triggering this. Any suggestions about what might be causing this? It is very annoying and confusing.

Pretty cool tho

Has anyone else had an issue with iMessage lately? I have unlimited 5G with Verizon, but the last two days all my texts either take 10 minutes to send, or fail to deliver all together. (Despite having full bars). I also don’t receive any messages until I’m connected to WiFi, whether its SMS, Snapchat messages, Telegram, etc. Verizon said it’s not a them problem, so wondering if anyone else is experiencing this.

First the update all apps was frozen and not doing anything. Then I selected each app individually to update. Now everything is stuck and none of the apps have updated the last week it seems.

Ever since updating to the newest iOS, I don’t see the option for article summaries in Safari anymore, can’t find the option to toggle it on/off anywhere either. Using a 16 Pro, anyone else come across this issue?

Face ID has become significantly slower for me since this beta and it takes 1.5-2 secs to authenticate. Prior to this beta it was instant.

Anyone having same issue?

I have been reporting bugs during each pb of iOS 18 and none of these ever change status. Has anyone seen resolution to any of the bugs they report to feedback? Since iOS 18 I have reported no less than 5 bugs. None has been “resolved” nor has the status changed. What’s the point of giving feedback if nothing gets closed or resolved?

I use Nothing Ear earbuds and they have worked normally since I bought this device (16PM), but on upgrading to PB3 in 18.2 the volume has taken a noticeable hit.

Cannot load local ip:port pages

Started with 18.2b4. Anyone else having problems getting to internal services? I’ve got a bunch of bookmarks that I have to manage my Unraid server (plex, etc).

Anytime I open one of my links that is http, I get the following error. I have to go into the address bar and manually put in http:// for it to work.

I had Auto-refine handwriting working on previous builds of the beta on my iPad Mini but now I am only seeing message that says "Support for improved handwriting legibility will download when connected to Wi-Fi."

Did anyone else lose this feature in the beta? Thanks!

Hi all. Siri has been improved quite a bit for me when I ask for specific tasks to be done, and asking random questions always used to either randomly trigger a web search, an unreliable apple AI answer, or a request to use ChatGPT. DB4 has been especially bad with the random question aspect, with the screenshot attached being the worst I’ve had.

Note that I don’t have any device or room names that would match anything in my question. It’s as if it saw b@ttery and automatically assumed I was talking about an Apple home devices b@ttery status.

I’m simply wondering if anyone else has been seeing worse results in DB4 or if there’s something wrong with it just for me.

Since iOS 18.2 DB2 my phone will make a random tone several times. I only notice it happening when watching videos as it stops the video when it sounds.

Changing from tinted to normal icon, icon theme doesn’t match for homescreen and dock.
