Something nice I’ve noticed is that when you are on a call and receive another call, it appears in the Dynamic Island instead of immediately taking over the full screen and covering up the current call controls. Tapping the incoming call banner inverts the layout so the current call moves to the Dynamic Island. Neat!

I need someone to test a very specific, I’d say niche feature, to see if it gained text transcription on iOS/iPadOS 18.

It involves screen recording. That button you can put in Control Center, that allows you to record your screen, it also allows you to record your screen AND external sound.

To enable the microphone input, once you put the screen recording button on Control Center, you just have to long press it, then enable the microphone touching the round icon that will turn red.

What I want you to test, is if there’s a way to get a text transcript of the audio recorded while recording the screen. But the audio recorded through the screen recording feature, of course, not voice notes.

If anyone could test this for me, I’d be interested to know. Thank you.

I’ll do it for a fee

This works on iPhone 15 too 😉
I was referring to me upgrading my iPhone 13 Pro Max to a 15 Pro Max, which I did, and now which I’m regretting after reading that Apple is delaying apple intelligence yet again.

i’m running 18.1 with Apple Intelligence enabled, and I gotta say it’s even dumber than Siri

What is this “delaying Apple Intelligence yet again” comment? Apple made zero promises of when this was going to launch other than “this year” for the features in 18.1 and the Mail sorting thing. The Siri stuff was always going to come next year. And I don’t believe they ever said when the Genmoji and Image Playground features would appear other than during the iOS 18 lifecycle.
 
I have a 15 PM & just installed iOS 18 beta 8, if I install 18.1, I can go back to beta 8 if 18.1 is not stable?
 
I wish they’d flip the „ask for passcode“ window and „try FaceID again“ window when you have locked an App with FaceID.

Right now it shows you the passcode option first and you need to do an extra step by pressing „cancel“ on the keyboard to get asked for FaceID again. Instead they’d show you the big try again right away.

This mostly bothers me when I am still half asleep in the morning 😅

Minor but annoying
 
I’ve realized that now on iPadOS 18, the iCloud tabs offer a “preview”, but I don’t quite like it, it just occupies more space. I guess it’s the same on iOS 18… and I guess it can’t be reverted to the iOS 17 more compact appearance, right?

For those of you who use iCloud tabs on the beta, do you like this change?
 
Do all text/imessages have a little green “message” indicator on the notification? Is there anyway to turn that off?
 
Pages and Keynote doesn't have black icon Numbers have, is it just me or everyone?

Edit: After the latest update, the issue is gone.

Safari Tabs: In iOS 17, one could search for a certain tab in landscape mode. Can you somehow still do this in iOS 18?

edit: I got help from another forum. There's a search bar on the top the "all open tabs" view or whatever it is called.

Anyone noticed the Safari “Hide Distracting Items” option?

I used it on this site to vaporise the fine print messages up top (Wiki thread notes etc.).

It’s a cool effect when you hide something.
