I always wonder whether the constant Location pings actually does drain battery - been like this since iOS16 and still happening. Coincidentally battery life has dropped significantly since it started happening... coincidence?

One aspect of it may be new: the time stamp. It has always annoyed me that this notification appears without telling you what time the phone was fully charged. Sure, I could go into the battery settings and approximate that time from the charge/discharge graph, but why should I need to do that?

Timestamp has always been there for me (on iOS 16 and probably before that).

Anyone having trouble with iCloud backup? It keeps failing and saying I’m out of storage but I am reported to have 18GB left. It was working on beta 3.

I joined the iOS 17 beta with beta 4. I had issues with the iCloud backups failing. It was something to do with some files being unavailable during the back up. Fixed itself when I installed the re-issued beta 4. It worked flawlessly since then.
 
Not sure if anyone remembers, nor should you, when I had disappearing apps from my home screens in B1. Hard restarts didn’t fix and I had to download them again.

Well… it happened again after I’d deleted apps, which I thought deleted them from the quick sheet in iMessage settings.

I didn’t read the extremely small print, which states it will delete it from the Home Screen.

Bug reported it deletes the whole app off the phone entirely. Grrrrr.

I guess it's more a feature request you have than a bug.

There isn't a way to have apps not show up in that list if they have that function.
 
Beta 4 v2 is much buggier than Beta 3. I went directly from 3 to 4v2 and now apps are crashing, my iPad got stuck thinking it was in SharePlay overnight after hanging up, and iCloud backup is busted. Battery is TERRIBLE too.

I haven't had a successful backup since installing B4. Nothing about storage. Just fails.

It had one of the big pop ups in settings saying this, but it has gone away. This text still appears, though.

I know its early, but we are just over 3 months until iOS 17 betas start, lets use this thread to speak about things we would like and wish in the upcoming update. For me its Split screen, New home page with new UI including 3d icons with shadows, interactive widgets.

From what I can tell, Apple is using the phrasing "remove from home screen" to refer to deleting the app entirely (since in the past, if you deleted the app from the home screen, it meant deleting it from your phone). It seems to be intentional and not a bug. It would be equally nonsensical to just erase the app's icon from your home screen just because you decided you didn't want it to show up in Messages, so that doesn't really make any sense, either.

BTW, the same thing happens if you try to remove a Sticker app from iMessage. If you don't want Taco Bell stickers, it will erase the main Taco Bell app from your phone. Same phrasing, same end-result.

I'm hoping they change this before final release, because it drives me crazy as well.

Ah yes. I never use the App Library, so to my mind, removing something from the home screen has the same meaning as deleting the app.

So yes, they either need to change the wording of that message or not actually delete the app. So it's a bug, just as you said!

To be fair, changing the wording isnt technically a "bug"

Screen distance has not worked for me since beta 1.

Unless I am missing something, I’ve toggled it on in Screen Time, and it’s never worked despite having it close to my face.

Maybe there’s another setting I need to have enabled for it to work?
