Does anyone have any issue with the “attention awareness” feature on this beta for Face ID enabled phones? (I am on the 15 Pro Max with the latest 18.1 beta 4) When an alarm goes off and I pick up my phone, it doesn’t lower the volume of the tone (same for incoming voice calls) and my screen dims and shuts off automatically when there isn’t any touch input regardless of me looking at my phone (screen dims and shuts off when I am reading anything significantly long on my phone without any touch input).
Got a tip for us?

Genuinely impressed at the speed & performance on iOS 18.1 public beta 1! So much better than iOS 18.
I’m seeing the same issue on my 15PM. I did exactly what you described above and no dice. I’ll give it another go.
Agreed. It may convince me to download PB on the 16 this weekend.
This is how iOS 18 should be running! I’d go for it. See what the battery life is like next day or so once it all settles down.
I just installed the public beta. Let’s just say clean up needs A LOT of work. There wasn’t one photo I tried it on where it worked well. It properly identified what I’d want to remove but when it tried to remove it what was left was a mess.
its tinted because you are using tinted icons
I’m not finding that at all. Occasionally a small artifact but generally pretty clean removals.
Not to beat a dead horse and yes it’s been 5 hours BUT it’s insane how smooth everything is compared to 18. I’m on public beta for record.
Glad it’s working for you. Mine is weird because it’s perfect in terms of highlighting what to remove but when I tap on the subject the removal just isn’t clean at all. It either scrambles a face (instead of removing the person) or everything looks smudgy.
I don’t think it’s too bad considering it’s a beta.
Here’s few photos that I’ve used it on.

I don’t like these larger emojis in the keyboard!
I had a weird glitch happen today on my 13 Mini. I was searching for an emoji in my keyboard and mistyped so that there were no emoji results. But instead of saying “no results” in the picker, it said something along the lines of “generate an emoji” and was in the rainbow apple intelligence font colors. It went away and never came back. Wish I had reacted fast enough to click it but I doubt it would have worked anyway lol
It’s been over 24 hours since I’ve been on beta 4 (dev) and I’ve noticed it’s better than the last few betas on iOS 18.1.
Only issue, a few moments with animations there’s a slight delay using a 15 Pro but isn’t constant and liveable. Overall, 8/10 for a beta. Just wish the photos app was like the iOS 17 one, but I’m learning to live with it.
Friday night in with a beer and a new iPhone... does it get any better 😍
See you all soon on 18.1 🕺🏻

In one of Zollotech videos he mentioned that he had the same problem. He did the same thing as you and get back the new interface. 👍
I do, but maybe it is just because I am getting old and need glasses

That’s probably the interface for Genmoji. That’s popped up occasionally for a few other users too.
Same here...nothing to complain about--battery life is better but not stellar...I would say "mediocre". Battery is definitely better when "idling" or standby.
Not a big deal, but just to mention, The only "problem" I have is reception when using two esims and "auto switching" in marginal areas. I turned auto switching off and connection is fine in the same areas.
Does someone have some real experience with Apple at very-long-bug-reporting? I got asked few times to add more data or details or check something but I wonder about procedure.
In normal life of tester CI / each Release Regression + Bugfixes + New Feature tests are performed and then Results are "tied up" to last Bug reports but I wonder how they handle that number of reports from users.
What I mean:
Is it required to add on each new Beta / Normal version a reply with new Device Report and note that bug is still present and just reproduced or it's a waste of time?
Currently I post a the following: note that bug is present and if I had possibility to reproduce moment before I attache also Device /Devices Reports. Otherwise just a note and if bug is really not happening anymore - I close the "ticket"

frustrated that 18.1 doesn’t let you access sleep apnea feature on AW 9 or 10. Got my 10 at least in part for that feature and as its doing the recording on the AW and just sending summary data to the phone you’d think it’d be fine.
I get its a beta but its still annoying to not have that included. Don’t know if it’ll come with beta 5 or I may have to wait for the RC some time in october?
