Was going through 15.6b3 on my 13 ProMax this weekend when I ran across a new bug.
Since upgrading to b3, all voicemails have the same error; “Unable to Transcribe This Message”.

I have no problem understanding them when I listen to them via speaker or headset.
Male or Female makes no difference. Neither does the message length. Since updating I am now 5 for 5 fails.

Have filed Feedback report.

I received 2 VM's and they translated fine on b3 but have received random VM's in the past that wouldn't translate.

Including existing voicemails from before you installed b3, or just new ones received since b3?

My existing voicemails still transcribe just fine. I haven't received new ones since installing b3, so I just had my wife call and leave me a new voicemail. It transcribes correctly.

Existing are fine. It is just the new ones since the b3 install.

I am sure I will get a couple more today so maybe I will be able to get an inkling as to why.
Crossing fingers.

Visual Voice Mail

I did some testing this morning on Visual Voice Mail.
I had my son call me a few times from different locals and conditions. He has a Galaxy Note 10 on AT&T.

Found that if there is moderate background noise the transcription fails.
If the background noise is low or there is none it apparently works just fine.

He called from
  • his quiet house (worked),
  • grocery store parking lot (worked but a number of missing words),
  • sidewalk by roadway (failed),
  • in car with window down (failed),
  • in car with window up (worked).
This explains some but not all calls I am having VVM issues with.

btw - any way to get this function to stop lining out profanity?

What, was your son cursing at you for making him go to the store, walk the sidewalk, and drive around with the window down then up then down then up...? 🤣

Chuckle ... nah.
He was trying to be a typical smart-ass 😇

Was interesting as my Android VVM does not filter that out but VVM on the iPhone apparently does.

btw - we did the same to my Android and all VVM were transcribed either in part or whole.

Anyone else having Wi-Fi constantly dropping?

I tried the IPSW update last night out of boredom and noticed Wi-Fi dropping constantly. Probably the culprit behind the “No Cell Coverage” drain for three hours this morning. OTA’d to 15.6b3 and haven’t had issues with the drops until last night. General consensus is that IPSW should resolve the issues and not cause it.

B3 ipsw has helped on my end. WiFi is better for now - crossing fingers.

I thought it couldn’t hurt so went ahead and did it for no reason. I was wrong.
Hopefully next beta would take care of it.

13 PROMAX / AW7 GPS

Recently did an ipsw and restore on this device and this is a general watch out.
After I did the restore, I was checking my Settings and found that under Settings > Health > Data Access & Devices, I had a number of old devices that were somehow “restored”.
AW3, AW4, iPhone 8+, iPhone 11PM, iPhone 12PM that I had to manually remove.
I do have one generic “iPhone” entry with no data that it will not allow me to delete.

Kudos to Apple Insider as it was an article there that led me to check this setting after restore.

If you remove those devices, doesn't it remove all health data associated to them? The way I understood it, old health data collected by old devices remains associated to them, and you can't remove the devices without removing the health data they collected.

It is not supposed to. ;) In some categories I have data back to 2018 and in others far far less. I have learned NOT to count on Apple Health for long term data tracking. It is inconsistent. For keeping basic health info it has been very consistent.

Bigger issue to me was the fact I had previously removed these devices and after the install/restore they were back. I remove devices from Health when I change them.
 
I posted this in both threads.

I can confirm that it does remove all the data. Just force close the Fitness app once you remove the device data and reopen it. No more data🤷🏻‍♂️

@ManuCH

I went back and looked when I got a chance after your post. The majority of the recent data is still there 2021 / 2022. The data from earlier is not showing. Removing an older no longer used device should not remove the already existing data.
I change phones on a 12-18 month cycle. Watch or other devices could be at anytime. To have it go away like that is nuts.

Then again, I don’t trust Health and Activity to handle the data well.

There were way too many devices on my list and it’s driving me nuts. Went ahead and did it and everything’s gone which is the intended behavior.

In a way this is for the better as there’s no other way you’d be able to delete all the associated data with a device in one click should one choose to. A better option would be if we’re given an option to merge the data based on IMEI and and other variables of a device into a single entry so it doesn’t put people’s OCD into overdrive.

Good to know that it works like that. I never delete those devices because I don't care having them there, I just don't look. I prefer having all my data 😊 but I see that some may be bothered by it and the way it's handled is not ideal.

I'd like to have the ability to keep the data if I choose.

What I do find odd based on this is that I currently have data from an 12PM, 13PM, AW4, and AW7 even after removing the 12PM and AW4. Just Activity.

Health data goes back to 2018.
