The Now Playing platter is either too large or sits too high on the screen…

Mine is not like that. Maybe a restart would fix it?

Topman @Banglazed. Lovely job!

Weird. Mine never showed up before until this update.

Seems they fixed image rendering in photos. No need to enter edit mode to see fine detail on zoom.

I cannot access my apple account In settings. Greyed out.
on iPad it’s fine.
reboot doesn’t help.


edit : it’s fine now. Screen time was on.

Restart didn’t fix it for me. Still sitting too high. Oh well.

Does anyone have problems with the automatic brightness adjustment?
it dims randomly and I have to turn up the brightness manually.

Waiting till someone confirms the double texts bug from beta 3 when using RCS to text Androids is fixed?

Im also interested if double sent RCS messages to Abdroid devices gets fixed in Beta 4.

Click on the artwork to shrink it into the widget and then, make it full screen again. Maybe you already done that.

Speaking of RCS, the RCS messaging options are showing up for me in the UK now (EE network).

Auto option for Light/Dark icons together with the System Light/Dark mode is finally WORKING!

Time to go through the broken apps thread to see if Duo, google Authenticator and proton vpn work. This is about the time I start to update my daily driver.

Can confirm Duo and GA have worked flawlessly since the initial iOS18 beta.

Screen time issue was fixed finally

Looks like a new bug. It's not consistently broken, though.

Definitely smoother and snappier on my 13pro. Hoping for better battery life, as it took a hit when I upgraded to 18.

I feel like I’ve seen this intermittently on iOS 17.

Semi-related, just had an issue where the now playing widget in Control Center said music wasn’t playing even when it was. Opened the app then went into the background again and it was fixed.

Not on my end - I must admit that I do not encounter any bugs so far for me, which are a deal breaker to use iOS 18 Beta on my 15PM.
Let’s hope it stays like this 😇

Automatic brightness has been occasionally buggy for ever. My favorite is when I check my phone at 3AM and it decides to blast me with the equivalent of the Sun in my face.
