I still have this annoying bug on iMessage that certain attached images refuse to delete. This has literally been going on since iCloud Messages has been introduced. I am surprised it does not seem to happen to more people?

I delete a bunch of iMessage attachments, I leave the conversation and randomly images, which have not even been there in the first place, like really old images, appear out of nowhere and refuse to delete!

Attached messages photos also do not stay in sync between devices and the local storage never matches what it shows in the detailed view either and differs between devices as well. Like it says conversation xy uses 400 mb of video data but when I look deeper, there is not a single video or it says 1 GB on iCloud Messages and when I tab further inside, it shows 300 mb with nothing remotely adding up to 1 GB

What if you hold down on the image and then try deleting it?

does not work either and the weird thing is, when I check messages in iPhone storage, it does not show anything (as I always clean the list) yet it claims Photos uses 8 MB and Videos 10 MB (again, with nothing actually inside).

Why does this list never match what is actually "attached" when checking the conversation in the Messages App itself anyway? Same with iCloud, does not even match between iPhone and iPad

as you can see iCloud Messages on iPad claims that my Group "Family" is taking over 1 GB of data, yet there are only 2 / 4 images - the ones which refuse to delete

Oh and it gets even funnier. When I check the same Group (Family) on my MacBook Pro

It does not show either of those images in the same group (Family), instead I have the following image I cannot delete on my Macbook (yet the same photo is not even shown on my iPad / iPhone)

I’m out of ideas, I’d get in touch with apple.
 
One thing I did notice on b3 was that I didn’t get Apple Watch full charge notification which I like btw. And same on this one. I’m on 8.4.1 or whatever the latest watchOS is.
Strange. I got the notification while on b3. Will check b4 later on.

Data connection after night on charging stand.

On wake up, complete lack of data connection from either WiFi or 5G.
If I kill the VPN, instant data. 2 days in a row now. I can turn the VPN back on and all works as it should.
As I have not seen this in a few betas, not sure if it is b4 or the VPN app.
ProtonVPN.

Same VPN open my IPP11 and no issue with WiFi there on wakeup.

This is new.
I forward Messages from my iPhone to my iPad and with this beta it has stopped working.
While troubleshooting the issue and checking settings, I ran into this:
and no, they are the same iCloud account And I am signed in. Signing out and back in did not help.

I can’t tell you how many of these I’ve filed. They’ve finally started to ask for more info.

Beta 4. Nice. So when is Apple going to charge the camera sound? Odd question I know, but it is a software thing. I guess I’m tired of the same camera click with film winding sound. Anyone else?
