iOS 18.6 Beta 1 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[Hamsterhjulet]

So this beta is good? I was on 26 but went back to 18 yesterday

It’s perfect! No bugs to report and runs smooth. Battery life is as expected.

Dunno if it’s the Beta or using the FaceBook app but dark mode is all screwed up on my 13” M4 iPad

Dark mode works for me perfectly on my 16 pro.

Beta is running flawlessly with good battery life. Get about 5-6 hours screen on usage before I hit 50%

Early upgrade from 16e to a 16 Pro this week. Had to update the 16 Pro to 18.6 before I could transfer data across.

Running great same as on the 16e & no bugs to give Apple any feedback.

Thought we’d have had the next beta by now, maybe next week?

I think we’re going directly to RC next week.

Does anyone have the 8x8 app while using 18.6? I can’t log in even though I use the correct info.

This is the issue I am having, delete and install of FaceBook app sorts it but it comes back at some point

I hope Apple polishes 18.6 very well !

To update on my earlier posts in this thread.

Safari iCloud Tabs seem to be working well today.

After a day’s worth of use, my other issues that came with the iOS 18.4 update certainly seem to have been fixed:

1. Smoothness is back when expanding notifications.
2. No Mail notifications are now going directly to Notification Centre.
3. Played podcasts have been automatically deleted after a day.

SMS and iMessage have been in sync across my iPhone and iPad. (That appears to have become an issue in 18.5 from what I read in the 18.5 thread.)

If this is going to be the final iOS 18 point release (other than security updates), it seems like it’s going to be a good one.

I'm on 18.5 and my notification expansion is working fine now. No idea when that started but it really bothered me on 18.4 and I could've sworn that it was still broken on 18.5 but I tried it again recently and it's working now.

Do the notifications still sort of stop and then bump down a few pixels after because that's annoying.
