iOS 18 Beta 1 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[daffie]

Been searching but changing the order and controls of the Connectivity widget in Control center doesn’t seem possible? I would like Wifi and Bluetooth only...or if necessary, together with 2 other controls to fill up the square.

Are you using tapatalk beta or something? Your comment showed hundreds of emojis and broken text

Haha...saw that happen earlier in this thread. I did post using Tapatalk. Edited my post now from Chrome on PC and the image is shown correctly this time.

So it is active in the background.

From the demos (as it's not coming to the betas until later in the summer), it only does something if you initiate it - so if you're typing an email, you get a button and it will then go and rewrite it for you. So, from everything we've seen, it's not working doing something unless you initiate it to go and do so.

I was going to skip BETA 1 and I needed a feature. Is the Send a iMessage later enable in BETA 1? Might get me back on the BETA train. Normally wait out for BETA 2. TIA

It's there as an option, but I've not yet tested it myself

It’s there if your device qualifies for.

If you saw my later posts, and other peoples posts, it just took time for it to propagate and appear on peoples devices.

Oh no so we can’t access screen time in this beta ? Did you try to reboot ?

I can get into screen time.

Activate Face ID for any native app:

Press and hold on the app to activate the cheat sheet, and I’m finding you can then select Require Face ID, for access.

Finally can lock Files app

Yes it's enabled, but currently you can only schedule 2 weeks ahead. So no scheduling all Happy Birthday messages for the year lol

I had issues with receiving/sending texts earlier on my 15PM while on 5GUC.

what is the send later functionality actually useful for?

Same here on my 14PM. TMO US. Had about a 15 minute delay in receiving them….

So Sequoia beta is only for Apple Silicon Mac's for now? Kinda lame. A fresh install of iOS 18 requires Sequoia beta, so I'm out of luck.

I updated to iOS 18 OTA, I'll just do a complete reset.

No it doesn’t. I installed iOS 18 with the IPSW on Sonoma.

Have a look back on page 2 or 3 and I explain the file you need from Xcode.

Apple Watch weather showed up in widget this morning. I guess it needed to rest or get a server-side kick in the butt.

I used it at 3am when feeding the baby. I found some articles I wanted to share with a friend and scheduled them to send at 8am with a good morning text. Worked flawlessly.

Has anyone tried the photo magic eraser to erase unwanted subjects from pics? Similar to what google does on the pixel? I just got back from a long trip and would like to see if that feature works well enough to try to fix up some of my travel pics with people in the background.

Tapbacks now show when sent from Android users. She’s using a Galaxy S23.

From Sunday:

After updating to beta 1:

This is an Apple Intelligence feature. It’s not available yet.

When you want to message someone, but not right away. Like I would use it to text my Dad to remember to take his pills, and schedule it for 7am (as he's awake at 6am like clockwork), whilst I don't wake until 8am.

Think I'll hold off. Without the updated Siri and AI, not worth the risk. Want the updated Control Center, but can wait on that.

Not yet available, that counts as Apple Intelligence launching later this year

Apple Intelligence is coming later in the summer, in the betas, so not there yet

1. To not seem desperate when replying to someone you're dating. You immediately read their message, write the reply, but delay the response for 15 minutes to pretend you're busy.

2. To pretend you're working late. You finish the task, write up the message saying you've fixed whatever, but send it at 2am so you have an excuse for not turning up to work the next day until lunch time.

Can you try putting the Apple weather (rain) in the sub dial top?

Mine shows up as this.

I legit giggled and option 1 and love that.

Oh right, it's a package or something you have to open right? I forgot about that.

I actually tried resetting my phone last night and it messed with my Microsoft Authenticator app that I use for work. So I think I'm just going to update OTA from now on.

How did you invoke it?
