I ended up rolling back to 18.1 RC. Didn’t have a bad experience or any showstoppers but since I can’t use the image playground stuff after waiting since release there isn’t really an upside except for ChatGPT/Mail improvements. Mail improvements were buggy for me, not getting notifications for some despite having ‘All Messages’ selected. That coupled with the normal beta battery drain made it kind of meh for me.

Happy to be back on (almost) release software and my 16 pro max is flying! Also patting myself on the shoulder for my 18.1 backup 😎
Just got accepted for Playground and Genmoji!

JUST KIDDING!!!
 
hi guys, hope someone can shed some ligfht on situation for me. If already covered, pls direct me.
18.2 dowloaded fine over cell..... no image playground etc etc..... Connected to WIFI when i got to work. went into AI and Siri and clicked on "waiting list" started downloading and now says Apple intelligence preparing. Its been on this page now for about 2 hours,,,,,, nothing.🤷‍♂️
 
Definitely very flaky battery on this one on my 16 Pro. Going back down to the RC. That seemed a lot better. I have it on my M4 iPad, so when they do open up playground, I think I will experiment there but this is a tough one with the current battery drains I'm encountering.

Face ID is still dog 💩 on this build. Ugh. I dunno what they did but it's gotten so bad on the last 3 builds that I'm half tempted to go back to my SE. Adding an alternate appearance made a slight improvement but I'm still putting in my code at least every 3rd unlock.
 
This was just posted a few hours ago in the Feedback Assistant. So yes, they really are rolling this out over weeks.

I’ve been using the 18.2 beta for just over a day. I do like the new mail app. The categories seem to be working well for me. The fact you can group by sender helps to make it easier for me to manage emails.

It’s been working for me since I updated using the IPSW. I’ve not noticed any deleted emails returning.

I set badges to all unread email as that makes more sense to me. I use the small notification dots to identify the categories that have new mail. Would be better if the dots were based on unread emails. Once you view a category the dots disappears even when you have not read or deleted the emails. I’ve raised feedback on this issue.

Looking forward to see how mail evolves during the beta cycle.

If you smile and wave this normally fixes the problem.
