iOS 18.3 Beta 1 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[gwhizkids]

The issue is that the instruction given is correct and at least a minute in future and Siri use to do it just fine until around 18.2.

If it’s 5:25 and a command for an automation is created to run at 5:26, the instruction is not correct as, by definition, there are fewer than 60 seconds until 5:26. Even at 5:25:01, there are only 59 seconds until 5:26:00, which is less than one minute.

Sounds to me like they found a bug and fixed it.

The command is more than a minute out but yet Siri says it can only do if it were 1 minute out.

Example: turn off the fan in 10 minutes.

Ah. Now I get it. I read your original post too early this morning. I don’t have that issue. Does it come up with every time based automation you have?

This is new: Suddenly, I can’t stop alerts for a group text. I have “hide alerts” toggled on, but I get all the dings and banners I get with any other text.

Slightly annoying Safari bug... When you are in a tab group and are typing in the URL of the site you are going to it switches tab groups on its own. Happens pretty consistently.

CarPlay, Siri

Used Car Play in my Ford Edge (Sync 4) and all was working well…?
Nope.

Gave the incorrect mileage to my destination and Siri flat out refused to work. So I signed out of Car Play and used the built in Nav. Worked just fine.

I am having issues with my 16PM where it randomly starts stuttering/lagging really badly. Closing all apps didn't help, and neither does restarting the phone. It randomly does it for about 10 minutes, and then goes back to normal for a while. I also reinstalled ios18 via ipsw and that didn't help. Am I the only one? My 15pm before this never lagged ever.

iOS 18 on 16 models is trash

If I install the latest 18.3 Beta on my iPhone 15 Pro, is it really as easy as a few taps to switch back to 18.2.1?

It's not as easy as a few taps, but it's not too terribly much harder. However, the key is what you do before installing the 18.3 beta. The biggest is to make an archived/encrypted backup of your phone. That will allow you to go back to 18.2.1 if 18.3 doesn't work out for you. There are plenty of resources on how to do this in this forum and on the internet so I won't repeat them all here.
