Hi. Does anyone can confirm if the screen flickering was resolved or still happening on this update?
Thanks. 🙏
 
How does one get access to other people in the Image Playground app? It only shows me a random selection of people, with no way to pick more.

Good question, I wondered that when I first used it. Admittedly I’ve not used it again since, because it is POS IMO.
 
This is a really dumb question so sorry. I’m in Ireland but I don’t seem to have the image playground app. Am I missing some setting - I have Apple Intelligence switched on?

I think I had to manually download it from the App Store. Have you checked there?
 
The RC removes the 'delete all' button from recently deleted photos. It's back to the old flow - you have to select the pictures you want to delete first. Shame.
This sucks, was the only thing I was looking forward to as I always delete my recently deleted and was a quicker way. Why go back

RCS seems way more stable on connection stack changes. Previously I always saw conversation text boxes switch to SMS whenever my connection changed (e.g. going from wifi to cellular). With 18.4 it stays at RCS.

It‘s also not instantly switching over to SMS when I disconnect mobile data / wifi, only after a few seconds does it revert to SMS. That‘s iOS 18.0 B3 behavior, that‘s how long it took Apple to fix this SMS/RCS jittering it seems.

I wonder if it also fixes the bug that has certain conversations stuck with SMS, even though RCS should be available?
 
Apple retired the new design for recent calls, which was much better than the old one, and left it only if you search for a contact from Spotlight. Now they've removed the shortcut to delete and recover from the Deleted Items album. Apple's work is starting to be worth studying haha
 
Any reports on fixing iCloud email issues? Push/silent notifications/etc?
I had to turn on Fetch every 15mins. Now I sorta get my emails and notifications in time. Not when I manually open the app and a flood of new mail comes thru.
Hopefully 18.4 fixes this issue.

Any noticeable battery drain?

Just came here to say the same. Hopefully it’s a new model?! Visual Intelligence is also not working for me currently.

Mine only took about 5 minutes to download. Make sure it’s plugged in and locked for a few minutes.

Issue I had with Outlook and Calendar widgets in beta 4, it’s back for Oulook widget. List view is not working.

Mail - notifications are showing up but the sound is not working. Will check AWU after it finishes updating.

Still have an issue where all my AirTags don’t show up in Find My. When I manually scan I get an error.

On the other hand, the update was quick and smooth.

more to come….

Ok you need to push „select“ and then the three dot menu and then you can delete all.
Think it’s still okay but a strange change so late in the cycle.
