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

[ManuCH]

How stable is 18.1 beta 4?
Is it built on the stable 18 with beta .1 features? Or does it take you backwards in user experience.
Don’t mind if the beta features like Apple intelligence, clearing photos, etc… etc… don’t work as intended.
Just came out of iOS 18 beta and it has already beaten my battery, don’t want to get on another beta if it is not on stable iOS 18.

I'm using it on my M4 iPad Pro and it's perfectly fine. Beta 3 was really fine for me already. It really feels like iOS 18 with Apple Intelligence on top, nothing else.

Thanks for this.
Was a slight worry for Friday.

No problem!

Siri is again displaying this but it works perfectly fine with the new capabilities. Only doing this on iPhone.
Anyone else?

Update: It’s gone now. Maybe it did download stuff

If reboot does not resolve it, turn off AI, reboot, and turn it back on. That's what I had to do.

Where do you turn AI off I seem to have lost this option with the new update?

 

[triton100]

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

How did you turn it off and on. That button seems to have gone for me?

It’s Skynet… they don’t want you to turn it off!

That's normal, you have 2 ears, don't you??

How many of you are crazy enough to run 18.1 immediately when getting your 16 or 16 pro? I’m thinking if no one’s reporting any big problems with it I’ll probably install it on mine a week after launch.

Tried 18.1 on my 15PM for a shot of the lunar eclipse tonight.
Best I could get was a yellowish bright ball.

Yeah similar using the camera app even dialing exposure as low as I could go. But I did get a decent shot with Halide.

Well, how many ears do you have? Hmmm…

Edit: I see other witty people beat me to this one

Has anyone had any success with eye tracking? My experience with it has been awful.

That’s Popeye screwed then 😂

Wait.. your ears aren't both left ones?? Hmm, I think I need to speak to a doctor asap as possible!

as soon as possible as possible?

 

[lanceuppercut47]

Yes. It's that urgent.

I feel like some of the issues people are seeing is that for each release, Apple Intelligence is initiating a download of a new model. Until the new model is installed, some weird behavior is experienced…and a reboot seems to force a model refresh. I wonder if Apple can push model updates without a version update.

I missed the eclipse and living in southwestern PA makes seeing the northern lights a joke on account of our cloud cover, but I did get a couple fun shots with my Nikon and 300mm.
