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

Doesn’t actually seem to work yet though. Can’t send RCS and no mention of RCS under IMS Status for EE.

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

Did you report the issue? Can‘t reproduce it here (never could, always sent normally) and it‘s not listed in changelogs.

Dropped onto my 15PM OTA.
Install went smooth. Phone got to a max of 98.4F - lowest temp yet for any iOS18 beta on this device.

Badges on a number of apps was incorrect after update but a quick visit into each app fixed this;
Outlook
Teams
Telegram
Discord
Mail

Running Mint Mobile - no RCS yet.

more to come …

btw - spell check still bites.

Weird, it has worked fine for me since DB1. I use it heavily to manage my kid’s iPhones.

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

Yep this is bad on 14 pro max

They have added a singular Bluetooth control for Control Center. It does not have the correct icon and label yet though.

Are you talking about the "Bluetooth - Power Toggle"? It doesn't seem to be doing anything on my 14 PM.

 

[Pearsey]

Definitely not a placebo, things feel very rapid on my 14 Pro, noticeably. Really smooth too.

Getting there!

 

[thatJohann]

Yep this is bad on 14 pro max

Good to know, will wait for beta 5 before jumping in then.

 

[kvlq]

App badges are not cleared if the notifications are already read on macOS. It's driving me crazy, waiting for this bugfix for months!

Can you turn off auto adjustment?

 

[Nanis]

Yep this is bad on 14 pro max

Turn on "always on display" this fixes the random dims for me

Is it working for you?

CarPlay, now playing art is a lot larger now in at least Podcasts and Music. New wallpapers also replace the old CarPlay wallpapers.

 

[Bobosita]

Huge problems with the sound, both in headphones and on the phone, the music player stops sounding when the screen is turned off, if you turn it on from the headphones, the sound disappears when you turn on the screen. Screen turn off Click sounds only if you turn on music and then it disappears. And microphone orange dot is always ON!
Upd: You need to set up Vocal Shortcuts and delete it after.
