I loooooveee that I can finally keep my HomeKit lights in a dedicated spot in Control Center now instead of having to deal with the constant nonsensical button repositioning that past iOS versions had.
 
Anyone have issues with the received Mail "ding" not playing? Previews show up just not sound on this beta for me. Happened in 17.something before. FB14249413 Received Mail - no sound

Ok so I finally figured this out. Notification sound were all on but Haptics was set to None so no sound played either. Well that’s just dumb.

Edit: that didn’t work.

The notifications issue is driving me crazy.. even if i read the messages from different apps(Messenger,Whatsapp,Mail and so on)on my mac, they still appear on the iPhone. And app badge still present like i've never seen them. Someone else with this issue, or am i the only one? Didnt see anyone complaining about this, and its persisting for months!
 
Still can’t sign out of iCloud. This started with the first iOS18 dev beta. Have seen some articles calling out Screen Time as the culprit, however I can’t seem to turn that off. I’ve never turned it on, ever.

This drives me insane! No clue why they thought this would be a good idea.

Whatever algorithm they're using in the weather app is all messed up. It’s 88 degrees here, and the humidity is 66%. But it says the feels like temperature is 87 because the “wind is making it feel cooler”.

In reality, the heat index is really 99.

Yeah, I’m getting the same thing about 35 miles north of you.

Added: The dew point is 74 degrees here in CT. There’s no way the “Feels like” is only 88. This is infecting the Carrot weather app, too (Not surprising since it uses Weather Kit). Interestingly Accuweather is showing the same thing.

Don’t tell me AI doesn’t have value! See below

To calculate the "Feels Like" temperature, which is commonly referred to as the Heat Index, you need the actual air temperature and the dew point or relative humidity. In your case, you have the air temperature (88°F) and the dew point (74°F).

Using these values, we can use the Heat Index formula. The simplified formula for calculating the Heat Index in degrees Fahrenheit is:

\[ HI = c_1 + c_2T + c_3R + c_4TR + c_5T^2 + c_6R^2 + c_7T^2R + c_8TR^2 + c_9T^2R^2 \]

where:
- \( T \) is the air temperature in degrees Fahrenheit
- \( R \) is the relative humidity in percent
- The constants \( c_1 \) through \( c_9 \) are as follows:
- \( c_1 = -42.379 \)
- \( c_2 = 2.04901523 \)
- \( c_3 = 10.14333127 \)
- \( c_4 = -0.22475541 \)
- \( c_5 = -6.83783 \times 10^{-3} \)
- \( c_6 = -5.481717 \times 10^{-2} \)
- \( c_7 = 1.22874 \times 10^{-3} \)
- \( c_8 = 8.5282 \times 10^{-4} \)
- \( c_9 = -1.99 \times 10^{-6} \)

First, let's convert the dew point to relative humidity using the following formula:

\[ R = 100 \left( \frac{112 - 0.1T + D}{112 + 0.9T} \right)^8 \]

where:
- \( T \) is the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit
- \( D \) is the dew point in degrees Fahrenheit

Let's calculate the relative humidity \( R \) first.

Then, we will calculate the Heat Index \( HI \) using the values for \( T \) and \( R \).

I'll perform these calculations now.

The “Feels Like” temperature, or Heat Index, for an air temperature of 88°F and a dew point of 74°F is approximately 92.7°F. The calculated relative humidity is about 54.4%.

Oh that's weird, Accuweather is 99 for me. Which tracks, if you look up 88 degrees and 66% humidity on a conversion chart, it’s a 99 heat index. Wind has barely any impact on heat index during the day time.

Dew point is 75 here. Downright gross.
 
Folders remain grey no matter what dark wallpaper I select for my Home Screen. wasn’t like this until I changed the home wallpaper to a photo. Dark or not. I’m sure the folder color was black matching wallpaper before.

Looks like Mail app is working correctly and syncing mail is working flawlessly and doesnt get stuck.

Im carefully optimistic, this looks promising. Getting sync stuck in beta 2 was infuriating, looks like Apple fixed it.

Must wait a few more days before I can say that its fully fixed.

Yeah, also dock background and app library backgrounds remain light grey.

The only way to get them dark is to use dark icons.

I did. Didn’t work. Even after restarting. I normally use a pitch black wallpaper for my Home Screen. Are the folders supposed to be black or grey ? I think my old age and memory ain’t that good lol. Attached Home Screen. Folders remain grey

I got folders dark too when dark icons are used.

But I have a bug where folders, dock and app library goes light grey when I used dark mode and light icons. I have to use dark icons to get those backgrounds dark.

Something really weird is going on with dark mode and dark icons, and it varies with users. Kinda silly bug, its not even a bug, its sort of a funny glitch.

When I'm sending a text with Siri, it seems to sometimes send and sometimes nothing shows at all.
