Is that perhaps something to do with the head gestures thing?

That’s a good idea! I’ll turn that off and see if it stops.

I’ve removed 3 things with clean up in this pic. Not bad but as said above, it needs some tweaking 😁

Benchmark scores have increased on 18.1 public beta 2. 15PM absolutely flying now 👌🏻

Anyone on iPhone 16s, and your Photographic Style parameters kept resetting to default?

Battery on my 16PM is, so far, fantastic. Fingers crossed!

Oh. Works for UK.

UK is not in the EU - any more. EU users must also change to the US App Store.

On my 15PM beta 5 has been better than beta 4…

Waze automatically opens when CarPlay connects. I have Siri an address and it was nice to hear finding directions to…using Waze. So that’s helpful!

Back on the beta train now with 18.1 PB2/DB5.
Feels as expected a bit more polished as the 18.0 release. Issues while switching between bright and dark app icons seem to be gone, still not perfect.
Overall for me in Germany no huge changes with 18.1 due to the lack of AI features here.

Found them! But it seems like that little table in the back looks like it’s seen a ghost! 👻

B5 is flying on my 16 Pro, so much better than B4.

AI button, hope this gets rolled out to emails and maybe iMessage like it appears in Notes - super handy/speedy to use then.

Updated my new iPhone 16 PM 1Tb to iOS version 18. Runs without any hiccups. Relieved that it was not bricked. As for the OS file size.. who cares when you have 1Tb?

Hopefully not while flying!

😋🤣No company won’t let us put betas on work iPads. Most likely a good thing

“Most likely”. 🤣

Anyone having issue with the springboard crashing and then coming back up after a few seconds? It seems to be happening pretty frequent for me.

I haven’t had one respring on iOS 18 + yet.

If it were me I’d reinstall the beta with the IPSW file.

Anyone running into issues with notifications...particularly the messages app? Only about 25%-50% are alerting me with either a sound or coming through to my Apple Watch. Using 16PM. The messages do appear on the lock screen. Did not have this issue in previous beta or noticing it with the mail or gmail app.

Also, just an FYI, I do not have scheduled summary turned on.

Apple Music keeps disappearing
