Lock Screen and always on display don’t show the wallpaper. This just started this morning.

Anyone else getting this?
 
I still have the update processing in the background prompt on my 13 Pro Max after a week, which is a bit odd.

Mail background overnight activity has been crazy as well, even though I have everything on manual for whatever reason. hm

Bug on iPadOS18.2. I have the app icons to automatically change to light/dark mode depending on the time of day. The Numbers app icon didn’t change to the light mode version this morning, all others did. I then tried to manually toggle to dark mode and then back to light mode in the Control Centre and the icon did then turn to the light version when I put it back into light mode, but only briefly for a second or so before turning back to the dark mode version. No biggy of course, I’m just mentioning it as I’d noticed and it worked in 18.1. (Though it could be an issue with the app update rather than the iPadOS update, as I did update the app to the latest version yesterday.)

Just to update on this. A reboot of the iPad has fixed the issue.
 
since doing a fresh install of iOS 18.2 my photo widget shows no photos available and i have over 6,000

anyone else come across this issue/ know of a fix or is it a bug with 18.2?
 
After updating an iPhone SE 3 from 17.7.2 to 18.2 I can't say it's an upgrade that I'd do for my other devices yet:

1) after the update I noticed touchid didn't work on the login screen anymore, but did work in apps;
2) the login screen even failed on some of the pickups;
3) looking in the 'Available space on the iPhone' settings panel it just keeped loading, not showing anything.

Thought a complete shutdown and power-on cyclus might fix 1-3, the next bug occurred: switching off the phone just kept a (black) screen (light on), and reboot followed. Logfiles indicate a (4) kernel panic occurred. After a good reboot following that one, I noticed 1-3 started working correctly again, but for instance (5) Safari already crashed one time today.

I'll sit it out until 18.4.2 or so for the other devices, to buggy at this moment ;). Hopefully Apple keeps pushing updates to 17.7 until 18 is more stable.

Might not be a bad idea if a complete list of all noticeable bugs became available, so Apple can fix them.
 
iCloud tabs have stopped synchronizing since iOS 18.2 and macOS 15.2.
iPhone does not show even one iCloud Tab from the macOS running 15.2. Neither does the macOS show iPhone iCloud tabs. However, the macOS shows iCloud tabs from iPad running 18.3 beta.
Is it just me, or something wrong with my configuration.

Sometimes still having flickering while unlocking or swiping. And WiFi disconnects. I guess the battery drain comes from the location sharing with one person of my family

Have seen no sign of iCloud tabs since 18.0. Others have reported as well but no fix, other than a work around of creating a new profile in Safari and making it your default. According to some that restores the syncing. I’ve chosen not to do that at this time. If you restart a device or force quit Safari on the device that is not displaying the tabs, they will then appear after the restart or force quit, but only that once.
 
After updating my iPhone SE 3 to iOS 18.2, my iPhone started freezing intermittently and Touch ID malfunctioned. Shutting down and rebooting usually cleared it. (Cleaning the sensor and my hands as suggested didn't help) Hopefully Apple will fix this bug with iOS 18.3.
 
I had a restart on my IP16 Pro today when receiving a call. Haven't encounter this before at all until today.

iCloud tabs are working better than before 18.x here (macOS 14.7.2 in combination with iOS 18.2 iPhone). All 'old tabs that just wouldn't close' are gone now. It stays a bit lagging though.
 
Updated from RC2 to final yesterday and immediately went from a perfectly working device to one full of bugs and practically unusable.

• On several occasions throughout the day I would take out my phone from my pocket only to find the touchscreen unresponsive to any sort of touch. I would have to use Siri to be able to open apps. But I still would not be able to do anything in those apps. Touch functionality would come back eventually, but this happened a few times

• Siri has “disappeared” - now when I invoke Siri, I only see a keyboard, not the round Siri indicator, or the text field where my Siri inquiries appear written out as I say them.

• Venmo gave me an error on attempt to pay someone in a way that never presented itself before

• the cable I use to charge my phone at night did not even register as plugged in no matter how many times I went to plug it in or in which orientation. Now I have no power in the morning

@Dust-by-Monday That's like driving 100 miles with a broken fuel gauge in your car and posting a photo of it showing a full tank of gas. 😁

Every time you cycle your battery you lose capacity. If your phone says it's 100% after 239 cycles, the battery health report isn't working

...or he/she is lucky, winning the battery lottery?
The real capacity of the actual battery differs between the different manufactured units. 100% only means nominal capacity, if the battery has actually more than nominal capacity, it stays longer on 100% until the actual capacity finally becomes really lower than the nominal capacity.
 
Anyone have any idea on how to solve a notification issue related to an RCS Group Chat? I have "Hide Alerts" toggled, and I'm constantly getting notified of new messages for this group chat. It's been happening since iOS 18.2 Beta 4 and is persisting through the RC update.

Think I might turn off Apple Intelligence and see if that works.
