iOS 18.2 Beta 4 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[Simacca]

I just stopped myself from updating from 18.1 to this because of your post. Thank you for your service. 🫡

My 16 pro is fine. Don’t do something because you read 1 negative comment. Do some research on this thread first.

New update, iPhone hot as hell. 😞 iP16PM

Haven't experienced this. How far back are you in the betas? Might be doing some serious indexing.

This isn’t specific to the beta but will Apple ever let us get rid of the open app bar in Safari? If I wanted to use the app I’d use the app. If I’m in Safari it’s because I want to use the web.

I always assumed it was part of the site's code for the page.

So there is no way to turn it off?

The only way to disable it is to delete the app.

Have they fixed the bug where when you want to attach an image to iMessage sometimes you have to click photos twice for your library to come up???? Been a bug FOREVER

Seems to be working fine for me; I have experienced that issue multiple times, but none so far with this build. Let’s hope it’s been fixed for good.

Touch input issue still here

Yes it is!

Yes it is!

Yes it is!

What issue is this? I’m trying to see in earlier posts but everyone is just referring to it as “still there” so I can’t tell if this is an iOS 18 issue (on a specific device?) or an iOS 18.2 betas issue.

My stickers seem to work again. That makes this update completely worth it for me. LOL

I believe its specific to the iPhone 16/16 pro devices.

Getting typing lag delay since update. Either on here for typing this message or in messages app. Doesn’t happen all the time though.

Now I am not getting iMessages from people, they do not come in, only if they are sent as a SMS text. I turned off RCS that seemed to help for a bit. This is insane. I do not know if this is the beta, my account, or my phone. Do I just wait for the GM and see if this is all fixed?

Surprisingly, my 16PM didn't even drop 1% battery overnight. It always dropped 2~3% battery with 18.1 (18.1.1).

I’m still experiencing notification issues with mail app.

Mail app has been a mess. I hope Apple will bring some significant update for it. (aren't they supposed to?)

I think it's iPhone 16 issue. I noticed this right away when going through the initial setup of new 16PM. Keyboard felt "sticky". Turning off the auto-correction and predictive text mitigated the symptom a bit.

Im am just updating my SE3 and the update is over 8GB, on the SE2 it only was about 450MB.

Are you updating your SE3 from a stable release? As it would download the full iOS.

Where if your going from one beta to another it’s a delta update - just downloads what has changed

Not a good day.

Updated iPad Pro 11 M4 OTA and it went well. Initial notice, if I vertically scroll quickly through something with graphics (game, gallery) the display is jittery. Frame rate drop.

Bad part of the day, my 15 ProMax is stuck. I have about 1/4 of the loading bar showing w/ Apple logo and it hasn’t progressed in an hours. More to come….

Option to create your own stickers from a photo is back... when you save them to your sticker drawer they stay there now.

Still having intermittent touch issues on the 16PM. It's odd but sometimes it just happens in certain apps, then I switch to a different app and that part of the screen works just fine. anyway entered another ticket.

It's funny that people mention touch issues. The only touch issue I have is with Telegram, but I think that's an app bug, as it also happens on my iPad.

Could your case also be an app bug?

Did Mail app stop marking emails as read after opening them?

Not for me on my 16PM.

Ended up having to put it into recovery mode and go ipsw route. All is good. During this the phone got a bit toasty.

Seems Mail is finally populating some contact icons for external domains - I'm seeing only eBay and Home Depot so far. Anyone else?

Is that because of mail or perhaps the external sender not forwarding that image?

If some come thru it stands to reason they all could if they took the time (and resources) to code it.

I haven’t had that issue…

Seems to have only been an issue for one email, it's working now.

Does the 18.2 fixed the flashlight screen idle bug ?
