iOS 9.2 Bug Fixes, Changes and Performance Improvements

[rorschach]

Did anybody figure out how Maildrop works on iOS9.2 ? In OSX there's a setting, so you have to enable it. For iOS I can't find any setting. Tried to mail something with an attachment, but no Maildrop was offered.

It should automatically prompt for large attachments. If it's a small attachment then there's no need for Mail Drop.

On my iPad 4: Safari is always slow, aminations are in general a little worse than with 9.1, Note is always slow, Spotlight sometime freeze. Music in my opinion is a really mess. In general no a big vantage from last version.

The weird scrolling is ofc not fixed... For god sake Apple it looks ****!

On my iPhone 6+ the app switcher has no lag anymore. It's finally 99,9% fluid.
When using a dynamic wallpaper the background animations are now frozen in the app switcher so it's smooth there too.

Yeah. App switcher is great on 6 plus now

6 plus user here too

Is TouchID better? It was perfect on 9 but got worse with 9.1.

OMG USB CAMERA SUPPORT FOR THE IPHONE..... THANK YOU BABY JESUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't get your hopes too much up, it's only for the new SD-Lightning adapter they released today. The old Camera Connection Kit for iPad doesn't work with iPhone and probably never will.

Touch id while lock up phone works pretty well on 9.2 here

If my phone has to lag for an extra second here and there, and in a way that does not impede function in the slightest...in order to ensure that a family somewhere out there gets to spend time with their dad over thanksgiving, i'm 100% okay with that.
I may be the minority.

I don't disagree in the least. I don't identify with the L & S crowd.

iOS 9.2 ****ed up my Fav bar in Safari (iPad Air 2).

Here it is ENABLED. Disabling/reenabling in Settings and hard reboot didn't fix it. Great job Apple.

EDIT: it's even worse. 9.2 has downright DELETED all my bookmarks in Favorites and synced it through iCloud, meaning all my Favs are lost on all my devices.

Can anyone post screenshots of the new iCloud and downloaded offline music icons in Apple Music?

Cheers

Good news! Just tried it with the iPad adapter on a 6+ and it works

iOS personal hotspot issue no fixed. BROKEN!!!

Odd. Worked before here, working still now. Seems fine. ??

Working perfectly here as well.

Installed without issue here. Everything seems fine. You-know-what is you-know-whattier. Updating my Watch now. Updated my Mac too. I'm traveling, so this was a bit of a leap of faith. And in the end, it all went smoothly.

Go to iCloud.com > settings > restore bookmarks.

Not true. I just tested with the old one. Lighting to USB adapter u brought for my old iPad Air 1 it's working on my iPhone 6 now.

Ok, great! Something's wrong with mine then.

Yep, I fixed it by toggling Safari iCloud sync on/off on my Mac. Thanks!

not for me on iPhone 6. i used to switch quickly depending how fast i swipe. now i have to swipe app by app

 

[I_am_a_loser]

I'm running the 9.2 beta on my 6s (AT&T) and it doesn't say there's a software update when I check in settings...

 

[Zafla]

The app switcher has been tweaked, think it might take some getting used to for me.

Fast? In my case it went from fast to slow on my iPhone 6 and iPad Air 2, I can't swipe and go beyond the next app which I could before. It is much less smooth in that regard because it just stops when reaching the next app. There seems to be more accuracy but swiping to apps that are further down the list is now very unpleasant. It takes too much swiping which makes it more RSI prone. The previous way was only a bit too quick but at least you could go through the list quite quickly.

On iPhone 6 it is smooth as warm butter. Much much better than iOS 9.1. I must mention I skipped the betas.

App switcher, quick search (scrolling down) and control center are lag-less. That's awesome.
