iOS 18.4 Beta 1 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

So they meant UScellular? Not cellular customers in the USA? That extra space messed me up.

yeah I think so but I can't be certain. It's confusing but ATT is working for me.

I filed a suggestion in Feedback (FB16545082) to instead add Ambient Sounds to the Hearing submenu in Control Center. I think this would look better and add consistency to the UI instead of more clutter.

iPhone 15 Pro Max Wallpapers are back on my device

I got mine back on my 15 Plus as well. Very happy to see it.

My home icons in the control centre (to toggle Philips Hue lights) don't work.

They appear configured correctly, but pressing it does nothing. Adding a new one just prompts me to set a scene. Something's screwy with them.

16P & 15PM DL & no problems.

The system video player has a neat new animation for the 10s forward and backward buttons.

FindMy is weird. I don’t have the regular functionality of having it lead me to the AirTag or play a sound.

Touch issue resolved iOS 18.4 beta? On 16 pm?

Clarify please.

The “notify anyway” button when someone has dnd on, is purple, instead of gray now.

What exactly does it do then?

These options were completely missing from the UI. After 2 reboots for other reasons, they have automagically reappeared.

Looks like the localised apple intelligence for Singapore and India are not yet out, tried to change it to English (India) and it said apple intelligence and Siri not available for selected language.

P.S. it took a few seconds and seems to be allowed now.

Can't install the IPSW from my Mac. I get a pop-up that "an update is required to install. Do you want to download and install?" I tell it yes and the update fails saying the file isn't available from the update server.

1- Could probably use Apple Configurator to drop it on there, but the last time I did that after getting this message my phone got hosed for a while and I had to restore it from a backup. -OR
2- install the latest macOS beta and try it again, but I don't do the betas on my MBP..

I guess an OTA install is in the works!

It's really looking like the new Siri capabilities have been pushed back to 18.5, huh.

Did we ever had a „s“ build…?

No please no, it’s good as it is -.-

Is Genmoji working consistently? I keep getting errors when I try, works sometimes but mostly stops working with an error

“They’re bringing Siri back”

🤣

Getting this odd error when trying to install on my 12m. Trying to re-download but it may be something on Apple’s end.

My Face ID stopped working on iPhone 16 PM. Can’t reset, can’t add new face, because stolen protection is on.

It says “Face ID issue detected” and to go to settings for more information, but there is nothing in settings that would give me any clues.

This problem has been resolved for me since version 18.2.

 

[iLuddite]

No please no, it’s good as it is -.-

Or, you know, we could simply have both options.

Windows iTunes not allowing 18.4 ipsw

This is a show stopping bug. The risk of this bug popping up makes beta 1 truly sound like a beta 1. Best wait until a later beta to install I think. Hope you find a fix.

how is the beta running?
