iOS 18.1 Beta 4 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[Xoterin]

iPhone 16 Pro version yet?

Updated siri is not in 18.1

 

[gwhizkids]

Well, Siri is still dumb as a stump.

Who thought it would be otherwise?

I have a S9 watch on OS 11, and now my 15 pro max phone is on ios 18.1 beta 4. Should I be able to see settings for Sleep Apnea now? If so, can someone direct me to where they are?

You should find it in the health app.
I am seeing it with my Ultra 2 on watchOS 11 and my 15 Pro Max on 18.0.
Haven’t testet it yet with 18.1 thou.

Happening for me too.

 

[TL24]

Hope the damn lag is fixed in this version, especially the keyboard lag which drove me insane at times on my 15 Pro.

Maybe it didn’t hear you.

 

[Xoterin]

What do you mean?

The interface is there, but the "smart Apple Intelligence" version of Siri isn't available in 18.1.

Oh right. I just meant was the iPhone 16 build showing up in the dev portal.

 

[adrianlondon]

Just been offered this beta on my base iPhone 11 which probably supports nothing that isn't already in 18.0.

However, as I've been on betas for years I'll no doubt install it anyway.

It is

My notification summaries have seem to disappeared in beta 4. Which is a bummer because I love them. I saw someone else mention that on this thread too. Anyone find a work around? I would guess maybe they have to be re-enabled, but I can't seem to find a place to do that either.

I do see someone had the option to set it up above in a thread, so I have hope that it still exists and has just been switched off somehow on my device.

I turned Apple Intelligence off then back on and it came back.

I didn’t grab a screen shot, but right after installing this beta I got a notification saying that wearing an Apple Watch can now unlock the iPhone if Face ID doesn’t work.

Assuming this is the same as wearing a watch to unlock your Mac without using Touch ID.

Correct, right now Siri has the new UI, is better able to keep conversation context, and is able to understand if you stumble over words. The semantic index, app awareness, and all that is coming next year.

Its had that for a while, around mid 2020. They did that while they were working on making Face ID work with a mask.

Sleep Apnea detection still missing or is it just me (AW Ultra 2)?

Missing for me as well on Ultra 2.

 

[bricktop_at]

Missing for me as well on Ultra 2.

OK… guess we’re still not on par with the released version, feature-wise

 

[papbot]

iCloud tabs are back with this release, on my iPad. I’m leaving my phone on 18.0 where they are still missing.

I think you are right. Sleep Apnea seems to work in 18.0, but not 18.1 beta 4.

It will be interesting to see if anything else is missing.

 

[zbugrkx]

Has anyone been able to enable sleep apnea in this beta?

it is in the 18.0 release and was hoping that beta 4 would bring it to 18.1 but i don't seem to get the popup nor finding anything about it in the health app?

Yup, works on iOS18 - was hoping it would make it to this release of 18.1

Finally got ai working again. Had to turn it off, reboot, then turn it on. Also, with the new version of pages writing tools is working for me for the first time in there.
