So I just noticed you can set a background with an Android user. You have to send them a picture then hold down the picture and select set as background. It’s much easier to set one if you’re doing iMessage to iMessage with someone.
Got a tip for us?

I have it on my 16 pro max and 12.9” m4 IPad Pro and so far not bad. I had a weird bug on my iPad where I had to turn iMessage off and back on to get messages and IMessages to send. I think the thing that annoys me the most is the animation stutters in safari tabs. I already turned on reduce transparency. Any other tips to make this smoother or this just how it is?
Are you new here? Everybody complains about everything!
I’m with you. I like it and it’s working better than I’d expect for a Beta. I still haven’t found a dysfunctional app.
I think it generate more contrast in clear dark mode than the light
14 plus here, and yeah like a few others I guess, I actually like it lol. It’s definitely buggy, but it’s not close to the buggiest beta I’ve tried. It’s actually mostly smooth. Battery life already is better than iOS 18 for me after a workday with typical usage idk…I’ve been installed for maybe 20 hours.
The glass ui or whatever is kinda cool to me, but I agree they need to tweak the amount of transparency though, but it looks way better on device than what screenshots show. Not even close to being an unintelligible mess as some have said.

Well i think you came up with the ideal solution, getting the opinion of a bunch of random people on the internet. Hope you actually have a family and or friends to get advice from on things going forward vs asking total strangers to help you decide on things. lol.
I keep catching the time transition on my lock screen and it’s so smooth!
Yeah, day 2 and my phones been running super hot today with high battery drain. I feel like currently still part of the early processing and indexing of a beta major software update. Hoping it subsides within the next day or two. Everything’s pretty laggy
Am I the only one having the problem with he AirPods Max where the button and scroll wheel don’t work and I can’t change the noise cancellation features on the phone itslef
Turning off depth effect off let me slide the widgets back to the top even on the stock wallpaper
When I'm searching for tabs in Safari that usually freezes the entire app and I have to restart it.

Seems to be a bizarre luck of the draw when it comes to stability. I had to rollback to a backup because I got non-stop stutters and other odd behaviour. I'll give b2 a shot with my trusty backup ready.
Has anyone noticed the automatic iCloud backups not working dispite being on WiFi and plugged in overnight. It’s not worked for me since the backup - feedback sent
I said the same thing, looks like the image processing at least, has changed a bit.
Now having issues where maps crashes when trying to set to a new destination in CarPlay. Think my workaround will be start navigation before plugging into CarPlay. I did notice that I now have more report options on maps on CarPlay and it now shows railroad crossings too. Oddly when taking a screenshot while using CarPlay, it no longer screenshots the CarPlay too. Curious if that’s on purpose or not

Any one know why that black bar is there in the AppStore
and safari
and safari
So, my feedback after two days:
It runs pretty smooth (not all the time) after initial stutters, but that was to expect.
I don't like the glass design too much, but don't mind it either. I'm always for new stuff so I wil get used to it. It looked way better in the keynote that on my phone, but I'm sure it will be better or more customizable in the future.
It gets very hot at times and the battery drain is insane, but still this is beta 1, so that will both be better in the future.
The lockscreen problem (widgets at the bottom, font changes are not saved) will also be fixed in the future, but that's just lazy to put out a beta with basic errors.
That there are different keyboard (in Safari I have another keyboard layout than in other apps) is just annoying.
This first beta in the last couple of years were significantly better than this one, but before they were also way worse.
So I'm semi happy and hoping for fast updates.

In that particular photo it cost me a bit, but I got the black BMW behind me, trying to make it bigger, finally it was "behind" completely.
When you customize the lockscreen, with the standard watch (it only works with the default watch, not the rest), you get a lower tab on the right where you can put it to a larger size, to your liking. It also adapts by default.
Try turning Reduce Motion on and reduce transparency temporarily it worked for me
