For whatever reason my apps don’t seem to update overnight. But when I wake and unlock my phone in the mornings I see multiple circles completing updates for various apps. It always surprises me when I see those circles. They all do update without my manually doing anything though, other than waking and unlocking the phone. Now on my ipad they do seem to mostly update overnight. Either way I never have to do anything.
Got a tip for us?

I just checked my settings and auto update in on. ? oh well I always enjoy seeing what needs to be updated and the bug fixes.
I use Authy to solve the same issue. Not using Safari, I prefer a non-Apple solution. That logic also drives me to use Bitwarden instead of Keychain.
Nah, not gonna turn off Find My anywhere (and don’t have Find My under iCloud?) I’ll live with it, but they changed something from 15.3.1 to 15.4 since it never showed up with background activity.
I'm seeing massive battery drain on 2 separate devices (iPhone 13 Pro/iPad Air 4) on 15.4b4 from the 1Blocker VPN blocker. If the blocker is enabled in VPN settings, battery usage will show as maxed out for that app for as long as it's enabled and the devices feel warm.
Is anyone else seeing similar?

Unfortunately it is not really uncommon. I see the same thing with any adblocker that uses VPN as well as my actual VPN app. I believe that the graph can be safely ignored though as the way that iOS reports battery usage, it will think the adblock VPN app is using the most because all data is redirected to that app to work. It looks bad but I believe it is just a benign reporting. Of course, if you physically see your battery depleting quickly, then there might be an issue. Likewise, I know earlier beta builds of iOS 15.4 had "Okayish battery" life to begin with.
In this case, the devices feel warm and battery life is definitely affected, so I don't think it's just a reporting issue. It wasn't a problem in beta 3, but I also note that the 1Blocker rules have also been updated since installing b3, so who knows where the problem lies, really.
Hi bud,
Okay, if your phone is physically warmer, then you are probably right. 1blocker may need to be updated for iOS 15.4 to work properly if a weird issue appeared. Hard to say. I would probably stop using 1blocker until they can fix the issue at this point.
Unfortunately I had already done this and no luck. I deleted the car in the Carplay section (not bluetooth as I don't have the car synced with BT), also deleted my phone from the car, and paired them again.
Again this worked only once, but it's not working anymore.
Most likely your car head unit and this beta ain't seeing eye to eye, had the same problem a while back.
Hopefully next beta fixes it for you.
Also, my Echo Auto isn't working, did the same thing, deleted the Echo from the Alexa app, forgot the device in Bluetooth settings, resetted the Echo and paired them only for it to work once.
? Guess I'll have to wait, thanks for the help though!
Same here.
Since iOS 15.4 beta 1, bookmarks sync works some time and then stops. Disable-enable iCloud safari toggle fixes it but it is temporary (hours, a day or two...)
Same in beta 2 and beta 4 (skipped beta 3)
I use this a lot and it was working flawlessly before (iOS 15.2 was my previous version)
You do need to look down which makes it seem weird but it does work most of the time.
