iOS 18.2 Beta 1 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[MrGimper]

Don’t know if this was already a thing (I don’t think so hence asking) but are app opening/closing/switching animations really stuttery when on a call with 18.1b1?

Certainly looks/feels different.

 

[H3LL5P4WN]

Anyone get access to the new Apple Intelligence features yet?

 

[Sal09]

Just read the last 10 pages.

I think ill wait till B2 or B3 before jumping on beta bandwagon.

Would be good to get more control over the photos of yourself that Image Playground uses. A lot of the photos it uses for me are a few years old so would be good to be able to manually select some newer ones.

You can. Click the plus sign and select take photo or choose photo. Choose a more recent photo of yourself.

I realize that…you need to change it to spoken if you don’t like the pop up lol.

Appreciate and understand. Automatic now works as ”silent” for me.
Hopefully fixed in a future beta.

 

[dk001]

I agree. would love to be able to mass delete emails while in this section....possibly being added in a future beta....

In Mail, if you double finger drag down, you can go pretty fast, then delete.

I’ll search then multi-select this way and delete.

Is there any way to update the output Siri/ChatGPT gives after you finish one “session”? For example, in Notes I asked it to plan me a trip and it spat out an itinerary. Then I left Notes to go to Safari and wanted to come back and add something to the original query, hoping it would rewrite the output with my additional request added in. But I couldn’t figure out a way to get back into the original “session”.

Doesn’t seem like there’s a straightforward way to do that like there is in the app. Am I missing something here?

My suggestion would be to select the text and then go into writing tools and then use the compose button and ask it to refine what you have there.

Cool - that seems to work if you highlight it all, then it gives you the option to include the highlighted text in your query. Thanks!

Is pulldown to refresh in Safari working for anyone?

edit: using the AMK in iPadOS

It seems there is indeed an actual wait involved with the waitlist for Image Generation/Genmoji. I joined last night, went to sleep (it’s 8 am here now), and still haven’t received any notification.

I suppose they want to gradually allow people access to this feature, unlike 18.1 Apple Intelligence, which was released in a half hour or so.

Still waiting here myself. It's been about 24 hours now, I think.

 

[Minato1990]

Probably gotta wait for beta 2.

I feel each time I open the app to see if it works my time to wait gets pushed back😂😂

Same. IDK how all the news places seem to have it. I guess you had to jump on it in the first few minutes? Unfortunately or me I was busy working.

16 pro max. Updated to iOS 18.2 yesterday at 12:15pm PST. Coming up on 24 hours of “Access requested” for image creation.

AMK with IPP 11 M4.
Seems to be working for me.

not sure i understand how to do this....does not seem to work for me, unless I am doing it wrong of course.

 

[dk001]

Using the new default apps menu. Replaced Mail with Proton Mail.
Seems to be working somewhat today. That’s a plus! Some places where you can trigger an initial email, either nothing happens or the option is greyed out. Switch back to Mail and it works.

On the other hand, changing Passwords & Codes to just Proton Pass does not seem to work. If I also include Passwords in the settings it works. Not sure if this is a Proton issue or Beta issue.

 

[Marshall73]

still no access after a day

 

[shady16]

This is unfortunate I updated to 18.2 for image gen and still don’t have access

 

[Marshall73]

I did a reboot to fix Siri, (vol up, down hold power till reboot) that fixed it.

Maybe this will help…

Example - I open Mail and go to the Inbox. I’ll then filter for … Citi. I’ll place my right index&middle finger on the screen - horizontally, wait till the select button the left hand side appears, then drag down the screen as far as I want. If you hit the screen bottom it will continue to scroll. Then I click Trash.

 

[Xoterin]

Same. I have a friend who updated at the same time and they got access immediately.

 

[john991]

For me, sometimes I don’t get mail notifications on my watch running watchOS 11.1 RC.

Very strange. Reported it to Apple.

Yes, that seems to work if in Primary, but not the other categories it appears.. thx for the suggestion though.

I’m the only one of my friends that got into Playground before the waiting list so now my 16 Pro Max is heating up and battery getting hammered because I’m generating AI pics of them all
