iOS 11.4 Beta 2 Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

I have noticed my 6S Plus battery health drop from 84% on 11.3 release version, down to 81% on 11.4 Beta 2. Whether or not this is 'true' or just a software change, i'll never know. It is of no real issue as my phone is fine. I may as well take Apple up on their £29 battery swap as well, thinking about it. lol

If I were you, I probably will get it replaced (maybe even a free replacement) since you never know maybe the next beta will bring it back up to 90%:p

I don’t even know how you can put silent and still volume up at the same time.

Switching on silent with the physical button only turns off the ringer and keyboard clicks/UI sounds. This is done so you can still watch videos. I’ve never tested to see if you have the change volume with side buttons off if it still exhibits the same behaviour.

No, what I say is the volume slider shows silent, yet he can “fill” the slider to an extent. I cannot.
 
This may have been asked, but how is iMessage in iCloud working for everyone? Any syncing issues?

For me it works perfect and have done so since 11.3 beta.
I have an iPhone X, iPad Pro 12.9 and a MacBook Pro. Imessages in iCloud works great between all these three units.
When I first turned the feature on, I had a mess with different messages on all three units. After 24 hours all units where synced perfect and had access to the same complete messages. The best feature of them all is that one message deleted on one unit is deleted on the other two units - I love it and wouldn’t wanna be without it now.
However, note what I wrote in another reply. For the feature to work you need the same beta version on all units. If not, it won’t work. Let me explain: I had IOS beta 1 on my iPad and macOS beta 1 on my Mac. When updating to IOS beta 2 on my iPhone, iMessages in iCloud didn’t work anymore (only between units with beta 1). When all units where updated to beta 2, everything was normal again. The later could be important to know since Apple releases beta versions for different units at different times. So when you see people in this thread saying iMessages in iCloud don’t work, it could be related to that.

Deleting attached images does not work for me on any of my four beta devices like the delete button does not do anything. It worked fine on beta 3 but not on beta 4.

iMessage storage is all over the place.

I also had to sign back into one of my devices but the messages never returned.

Images within iMessage do not seem to sync like (when I was able to) delete images, they would still remain on the other devices. So for me ... not great


—-

Calendar does not work properly for me. They all got a „!“ and when I pull down to refresh it says „failed to update calendar“ but when I add a new entry it does indeed sync to my other devices. It’s odd

It broke for me with the current iOS and MacOS Betas. Did some troubleshooting which didn't help, so I'm waiting for new builds to see if it's just a bug.
