iOS 18 Beta 2 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[jsmith189]

Audio is still super low in some apps. Anyone see a fix for this?

Thought I was going crazy!

Is anyone else having issues editing widgets on the lockscreen?

You know its not the same. Installing the betas is automated. Sure, things can and will go really wrong for a very small subset of users. And most of them can recover, even if they didn’t save an archived encrypted backup. But what this person is speaking about involves a level of skill and understanding that most here don’t have.

No, this person actually was the victim of a man in the middle attack, and is advising everyone else to do the same.

If the advice would have been to clone the repo and build your own copy of the code that you would be running on your proxy server, than that might actually still be a valid thing. But this guy is basically telling you to run a compiled script on a proxy server that might enable rcs messages, but also has the ability to spoof every https request your phone makes and even alter their responses. To be able to make this work, you would need to install a root certificate.
This is just plain stupid advice!
I reported this, but apparently even the moderators of this forum don’t realize how incredibly dangerous this advice is!

I cannot stress this enough. Don’t follow this advice!

My keyboard randomly keeps forgetting that it is supposed to have German and English on one keyboard and splits it into two keyboards. Very annoying

Oh sweet baby Jesus😍. Finally Safari no longer goes to back to the top of the page when swiping back a page. Been waiting years for this !

I had this too. Someone on Reddit said making a phone call and switching to speaker during the call fixed it. So far it has resolved it for me too

RCS randomly started working for me this morning.

rcs toggle under messaging

Apparently not for FirstNet which is a dedicated network by AT&T on its own band

 

[gwhizkids]

I logged a suggestion for that.

If ever Apple are going to read suggestions it'll be during the first few betas of a new iOS version, I reckon.

Good point. I will do the same.

Edit: Done!

Battery life is better for me in beta 2. Beta 1 I would lose 5%+ per hour with phone just sitting idle. So far no real problems. Beta 1 sucked for me tho.

RCS is showing now in my messages. It automatically switched on.

Yes. I can’t get them to flip over and give me options. Stupidly, I removed the shortcuts widget I use to open my garage door app before discovering this. 😩

 

[gwhizkids]

RCS is showing now in my messages. It just switched.

Carrier? Location?

Does anybody else have this problem? App icons are disappearing after the update on 11 pro. Sometimes when you open an app it will display the app icon but then at some the icon will again disappear.

I had this issue on beta 1 but beta 2 is ok.

Had this issue using YouTube but a hard reset fixed it.

Carrier? Location?

Verizon. Chicago.

I remember the day it started doing it, I had two iPhones (jailbreak purposes) and I couldn’t understand why would it do it even with the simplest websites

 

[nortonandreev]

I got a warning from instagram that I am using automation tools, whatever, and that I might be breaking the ToS. Not sure if it’s cuz of the iPhone notifications on macOS or the iPhone mirroring.

Can you elaborate just a bit? What are you trying to do? Please be specific.

Same with Cricket, an AT&T MNVO.

Any idea what happens if one deletes the new Passwords app? I assume passwords will still autofill and whatnot, but I’m too nervous to delete the app and see what happens.

Someone on the B1 thread, deleted it and then couldn't access them. Think they reinstalled the app and cos it was in the cloud (keychain I presume) they were back, but not worth the gamble.

On all prior versions of iOS / iPadOS that had lockscreen widgets, you could edit a widget for instance the Home widget to change your selected accessories or scenes or if you add a shortcut you could change the shortcut to a chosen shortcut rather than the one it adds by default. However in beta 2 you can’t.

Anyone's AirPods showing as the MAC address instead of the device name in FindMy? Shows fine on my Mac, just my phone that appears to be bugged.

Mine show up properly, name wise. BUT always shows out of case when there in the case. Happened in beta 1 too.
