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

[redbeard331]

Has anyone noticed all the AI stuff seems much faster on beta 4? The writing tools and image generation seem 2-3 times faster to me.

No, I don't find use case for any of the AI stuff introduced so far.

Funny you should say that, i haven't had any for ages, checked them, all locations turned off.

Mine were all turned off but so I enabled them. Then had one notification and nothing since on my iPad or iPhone (running 18) but still get them, and always have, on iPhone X running iOS 16.

Is it my imagination or is the touch sensitivity a lot higher on this beta? I find myself unintentionally selecting tabs in Safari when scrolling through open tabs on my 15 Pro Max.

Probably adjusting touch sensitivity across the board after some 16P/PM users complained about low touch sensitivity lol. Apple's way of saying "here, how do you like it now????"

Animations on 16PM seem to stutter less. Most notable was when closing Apple Music, the Dynamic Island would stutter—this doesn’t seem to happen on 18.2 Beta 4.

I get this frequently on iOS 17

I'll tI'll take that as a win. I hope they fix the touch sensitivity; it's really annoying. Has anyone seen any improvement with beta 4?

Complete opposite on the 16PM for me... I find myself having to touch an area 2, 3 and even 4 times for it to respond. It's getting quite annoying.

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

Is there a way to turn this off? I don’t need to see these icons.

Turn off “show contact photos” in Mail app settings.

I did a routine volume up then down then held power to shut down iPhone for no particular reason. After restarting I get this message .

In Apple’s defense, most people do that (for a particular reason) because they have a problem 😅

Ok. But I’ve never seen that message after performing that process before. Maybe it’s new. Who knows. That’s why I shared my finding. 😉

Technically, that procedure is the same like shutting down a MacBook by holding the power button pressed for 5 seconds. So it is registered as a problem, as you're basically "crashing it". I don't think that procedure should be done too often anyway.

Is there any chance we could still have an RC or Beta release this week, or has the window of opportunity already closed?
