Confirmed, there is an issue in 18.0 beta 5 which causes Find my to break after reboot. I've investigated this issue today and found that either a clean install or updating from 17.6, once the phone is rebooted, Find my stops working in some manner. I'm gonna try to initialize on beta 4, do a couple reboots then update to beta 5.
Got a tip for us?

i am having zero issues with find my. all my people show location instantly and I even rebooted and fine after reboot..
mail badge double counts unread emails.. one unread, badge shows 2. 2 unread badge says 4...
I'm seeing this issue on and off. Sometimes I see double, but most recently it correctly showed one unread, then disappeared when I read it.
It’s a bug. It keeps coming back to my 15 PM as well. And I did a normal upgrade to the beta.
Thanks for replying. I do have a developer account and my 15 Pro Max is on iOS 18.1 but will not update to new beta 5.
Think of 18 and 18.1 as separate parallel tracks. Beta 5 is an update of 18. Version 18.1 has not had an update. That’s the track you are now on.
Not at all happy with the CarPlay interface on 18.0B5. It’s ugly as sin, icons are bigger and what's with the app names font/background? Also, it will not connect to any audio source when using the wireless dongle.
Pretty massive bug that I noticed today on 18.0 DB 5:
-Autofill a password in Safari (that's where I noticed it happening)
-Face ID prompt will pop up
-Make sure it fails or doesn't recognize your face
-Hit cancel
-Hit autofill password again
-Password will autofill without prompting Face ID or any authentication
I submitted feedback (FB14707890) for this if anyone is experiencing it and wants to file feedback too.

I found that Find My was also buggy, but go to settings -> iCloud -> find my and back out/in once per reboot until it starts working
Same here, 1 unread mail = 2 on badge.
Update: 5 unread messages = 11 on badge, so it’s not a straight formula either. 😋

The light mode looks nicer, but I also wish Apple would allow us to use our own wallpapers in CarPlay at this point.
I'm glad they finally updated the text for an alarm. I have an alarm set every M-F for 4AM. When I turned my alarm off it would always say "Tomorrow Night" (as in the alarm will be set then). 4AM isn't night time. But at least it's sorted now and it is saying "Tomorrow Morning". yey
Are you using the large app icons option on your iPhone? I think that carries over to CarPlay
Yeah, it's not so clear-cut it turns out. My other iPhone which was OTA updated to each beta since iOS 18.0 beta 1, where it functions perfectly. Yet on a clean install of iOS 18.0 beta 5, it stops working after a reboot. A clean install of beta 4 does not reproduce the issue. So it's something in 18.0 beta 5. My advice is to those on clean install, do not reboot. I couldn't reliably fix it even by turning off and removing Find my from the phone and then reenabling the functionality. Sign out and in of iCloud fixed it temporarily, until reboot, but that's cumbersome.
Same issue here. Seems like B5 took 1 step forward and 2 steps back
...
No. The large icons look strange on my iPhone 14 PM... so I am sticking with the smaller icons with the labels.
Found out that works, but not a sustainable solution. Hope this gets fixed soon.
