Still waiting on playground is it supposed to be that long?

Me too 😔

It’d be nice to have an option between pages/stack. Also swiping to close tabs is working for me…mostly. Seems a tad more stubborn.

That stuff is all fine, I meant more how the tabs are presented as a grid as opposed to a stack. Feels less neat in my mind.

Me too 😔

Ya'll on wifi? I noticed that iOS will wait till it has wifi to download the necessary files.

Me too 😔

Are you in the US i checked twitter and people from outside the Us are still waiting

 

[VSMacOne]

Noticed this earlier. I hate what they did with the tab arrangement in the switcher, the old way looked nicer!

Screenshot?

They are probably very cautious about letting too many in on this at first

Yep been on WiFi the entire time. Even tried a restart.

Same. Hold on in there!

When using Keyboard Haptics, holding down on the delete key no longer does repeated haptics, but just one for the initial press and then nothing until you let go.

 

[UpsideDownEclair]

I’m feeling the repeated haptics.

 

[mzanker]

Same here.

Make sure that both Siri and iPhone language are set to UK English. If there's a mismatch it will disappear.

Weird. Seems to only not work in Safari, specifically when typing in the Instagram DM text field. Everywhere else is fine.

My Image Playground request has been pending for about 1.5 hours now, I am in Canada and connected to wifi.

Yep, I am here in the US, and I've been waiting for 5 hours. So far, the Playground is pretty boring. LOL

The Chat GPT started working after about 4 hours, so at least that is working now. That was higher on my list of things to check out. 👍🏼

This still doesn’t work for me.

First beta I can remember that didn’t turn Bluetooth back on after installation/boot. Running quite well so far on 16 Pro Max (although I’m not using Apple Intelligence).

Do you see a difference is battery life?

 

[UpsideDownEclair]

Would plugging it in make a difference? Lol it’s been 4 hours since I requested early access for Image Playground and Genmoji.

Cool—Maps now supports more advanced transit features like displaying ETA in route previews and switching bus lines while in active routing.

 

[HopeWV]

Mine is still requested to. I wouldn’t think server load would do it, isn’t all this (image creation, writing tools, etc) all done on device but ChatGPT function? Maybe they just haven’t flipped the switch yet lol.

 

[Tech_Fan]

Anyone else notice swiping to close Safari tabs is gone?

Like someone else has stated, it still works, but not as easy as before. I opened four tabs. The first one closed on the first swipe to the left, however, it took multiple attempts to swipe close the remaining three. It was easy to swipe them to the left, but they wouldn’t close as easily as the first one.

Extremely early but seems about the same as 18.1 RC (which I was also using without AI enabled).

Preparing too…. Phone is getting quite warm!

15PM got to a toasty 101.2F.

Thank you. When I initially installed 18.2, my battery was draining rapidly, but then it settled and is back to normal. note: This was within the first 15 minutes after installation.

Siri appears to be even dumber / lazier / what?

Hey Siri. What are the weather conditions outside?

No sound. No speech. Just a dumb little widget like pop up that tells me very little.
sigh….. This is on the iPad. On the iPhone it flashed and did nada. Working on that issue….
