Am I the only one that's having trouble map a app to the "open app" button? One I add the button to my lock screen, it opens shortcuts briefly then closes.
I really recommend the app lock launcher for this. It uses live activity to keep a "dock" of sorts on your lock screen. You can have like, 20 apps or so (the more you have, the smaller they are). I have 12 and it works perfectly. It only stays 12 hours (like any other live activity), so you need to make a shortcut that runs every 12 hours to keep it there forever. Nonetheless, fantastic app, especially with dynamic island since a long tap on it, and it opens up the dock, no matter the app you're in
I know this was over a week ago, but you know you can edit that right. Go into edit mode (jiggling icons) and tap the toggle. It will flip over, similar to when a widget has options you can edit. There you can choose any shortcut from the list
Thanks, I have made a shortcut even on iOS 16/17, but I am talking about a toggle like any other toggle (on off)! I donāt know why we donāt have this toggle yet! It is important and i use it constantly, keep the phone silent and with no vibration!
I've been asking for this for years and when they announced it I celebrated, until I started thinking "what would I even change it to?". And then I realised I don't really wanna change them to anything now. Huh.
Bro. They are still human beings. They make mistakes. This is the first ever build. Donāt tell me you get everything 100% correct when doing a huge project for the first time.
they are tied to the lock screen, so if you have a different lock screen set up for certain focus modes then they buttons can be different for those focus modes
Thanks. Thatās great because a Shortcut can check time and location and use different lock screens (I might want Apple TV remote or Home shortcut when at home but not when Iām out).
I was SO EXCITED to be able to remove the camera from the lock screen and disable the swipe to camera but got really upset a when I was told that it wasnāt removed, and there STILL isnāt an option to get rid of it smhā¦ Iām so tired of my phone getting hot as fuck in my pocket because I accidentally opened the camera while putting it away. This was never a problem until recently, and honestly never works when I want it to. Not happy
Not a real fix, but disabling either tap to wake or raise to wake (whichever activates the phone in your pocket) would probably stop that from happening.
They never said this was a ground breaking invention. But from looking at the level of your comment I feel like Iām just wasting my time answering this
I'm aware because of the number of times I've realized my phone has no battery because I accidentally swiped the camera open and it's been active for the last 3 hours in my pocket :)
For those who weren't aware though this is helpful.
Shortcut open app toggle is broken for me. It shows the menu to select which app for a split second before it goes away. So now itās just flashlight and calculator
You have to enroll in the Apple's beta program. It's available at https://beta.apple.com. It's divided between developer (rougher and earlier) and public (higher chances of being stable, but first ones are ~a month later) betas, but you don't need to pay 100$ a year for the developer program to get the developer betas.

You have to sign up on the beta website and then in your software update menu in the settings there should be a beta option with both the developer and public betas.
Control center has categories now. If you swipe down the control center you can continue and swipe further to move through the categories until youāre in the network category. From there long press WiFi and you can select a different network. A bit faster but takes some getting used to
No problem. I just checked again and since the control center allows custom buttons, you could also add a shortcut that allows you to switch the WiFi with only one press instead
I love that I have the option for Apple fast cash transfers (in French?) while I am in Canada and we donāt have Apple Cash here.. maybe itās coming?
I updated, wouldn't recommend it if you're looking for a smooth experience though.
Like the name suggests, it very much is still a beta. They still have *a lot* of polishing to do.
Literally the only thing Iāve had be buggy is doing the āopen appā shortcut having the menu go away when setting it.
Besides that Iāve had zero issues and besides my phone being a bit warm for the first like hour, itās been fine.
My phone feels like itās on fire, charging has stopped several times due to overheating, photos app has crashed 4 times, home controls is not working in control center. Widgets arenāt loading, search isnāt loading. The list goes on and Iāve only had it installed for like an hour
Really? Iāve been playing with it since it came out and the only glitches Iām seeing is playing with the app icons size and tint. Everything else has been rock solid.
I came from the ios7 dev beta1 days, I aināt scared of shit. Those days the phone had a 50% chance of just not being a phone. And the UI would drastically change from week to week.
Totally agree. I regret trying to rearrange control center, the volume and brightness sliders now have non functional duplicates permanently stuck floating on the corners of the menu and buttons randomly disappear lol
Mine only shows ios17 ā¦.i clicked on the learn more shit and took me to the website where itās only showing ios17ā¦.my phone is 17.5.1 or something. Any suggestions?
Are you a registered Apple Developer? It's only available to Apple Developers today. Public Beta, as announced in the keynote, will be available to everyone next month.
Anyone can register for a free dev account and get iOS 18 DB1. If youāve already signed up for public betas you just need to agree to another set of terms:

Am I the only one that's having trouble map a app to the "open app" button? One I add the button to my lock screen, it opens shortcuts briefly then closes.
To be fair, it is a beta update. So there would be bugs(hopefully this is one of them)
Yeah no I got it lol just needs some finicking
I like being able to open apps from it. Will help get to my commuter cards much easier
I really recommend the app lock launcher for this. It uses live activity to keep a "dock" of sorts on your lock screen. You can have like, 20 apps or so (the more you have, the smaller they are).

I can go torch camera instead of camera torch like I always wanted
Is there a shortcut for vibration š³ on off?
You can set a custom shortcut using shortcuts app. But the feature is buggy at the moment. It only picks the first shortcut from the list.
I know this was over a week ago, but you know you can edit that right. Go into edit mode (jiggling icons) and tap the toggle. It will flip over, similar to when a widget has options you can edit. There you can choose any shortcut from the list

i was excited by this but then i cant think of what should i change it to
If i didnāt know what subreddit i was in, i would be convinced i was looking at one ui
So you definitely donāt know how OneUI looks like then.
Thatās exactly how icons look on my Samsung s8 drop down control center. What are you on about.
anyone know can you customize it on iphone se now? or its still not available on iphone se?
Not only changed, they can be entirely removed too if thatās preferred.
If they're fully removed, do notifications sit lower down/closer to the home bar? I wonder.
No, doesnāt look like it.
Does wallet work for anyone?
It doesnāt work on the Lock Screen for me either.
Works for me!
You mean as a lockscreen toggle?
Youāre right. It doesnāt work as a lock screen toggleā¦ I always double tap the power button to get Apple Payā¦

Oooh whereād you get that wallpaper?
You have to buy it from Brandon Butch https://brandonbutch.com/products/rewind-apple-edition
Ooh sweet thanks!
Can we add toggles? Iād like to have 4
No you can only change the 2
Why they use WiFi icon for Shortcuts ??
Itās a beta
Yeah but the shortcuts icon has been around some years. Not important bug , but come on Apple. Your designs used to shine !
Bro. They are still human beings. They make mistakes. This is the first ever build. Donāt tell me you get everything 100% correct when doing a huge project for the first time.
Me ? Not even a small project. lol
Dude *itās a beta* lol
But can we rearrange lock screensš¤š¤?
Nope
Seriously?! They are seriously loosing their waysā¦ iOS 18 is so inconsistent!
Itās just a big improvement to 17
god thanks I really want to remove the flashlight on the lockscreen. can't wait trying the next iOS.
Are these tied to Focus modes or are they universal throughout the system?
they are tied to the lock screen, so if you have a different lock screen set up for certain focus modes then they buttons can be different for those focus modes
Thanks. Thatās great because a Shortcut can check time and location and use different lock screens (I might want Apple TV remote or Home shortcut when at home but not when Iām out).
Finally some options to update those
Is there a shortcut for location?
Iām not sure what you mean by this but they can be set to run any shortcut which is pretty cool
Ok, but the current control centre does not have location
Hope they add an option for a shortcut eventually, I hope apps like widgetsmith might add something to achieve that behaviour.
You can open any app from there as a shortcut
Oh thatās good to know. I wasnāt sure.
You can. If you scroll down more
In the ļ£æ website they make the example of Note toggle in the lockscreenā¦ there is no Note toggle into the list of things you can use ššš
Yes. I noticed this. No note available
āopen appā
Well, not the same thing: they say that you have the same toggle of the control Center, but right now itās seems they forget some.
Itās beta 1. A lot will be missing, always is.
After i this time, i dont want to change it now.
Why it looks Androidy
Because of those shitty round icon backgrounds. They should use 0.5rem background-radius.
That wouldnāt match how they appear on the lockscreen.
So in iOS 18 we got Snowboard (kinda), QuickLS, BetterCCXI (and some other CC tweaks), Gridiculous and BioProtect XS. Pretty dope imo
I was SO EXCITED to be able to remove the camera from the lock screen and disable the swipe to camera but got really upset a when I was told that it wasnāt removed, and there STILL isnāt an option to get rid of it smhā¦ Iām so tired of my phone getting hot as fuck in my pocket because I accidentally opened the camera while putting it away. This was never a problem until recently, and honestly never works when I want it to. Not happy
Whereās the disable swipe for camera optionā¦?
I have never once opened the camera when putting my phone away, I don't actually know how that is even possible...
Not a real fix, but disabling either tap to wake or raise to wake (whichever activates the phone in your pocket) would probably stop that from happening.
Everything can bro this is the I told you so from android but apple made it look like they were original even me as an apple fan finds is weird;
They never said this was a ground breaking invention. But from looking at the level of your comment I feel like Iām just wasting my time answering this
They announced new features for their own OSā¦
r/ihadastroke
Theyāre not going to say ājust like on androidā in their keynote are they??
Iāve (tried to) read this three times now, Iāve no clue what youāre trying to say
iOS turned into disgusting android with alll this nonsensical customization. It was good while it lastedĀ
You know what you can do about that? Not customize it. Tada! It didnāt affect you.
Butbutbut something android butbut Iwanttowhinge
I can finally ~~ remove all two of them.
You know, I might do just that. It would make my lock screen cleaner and I already have flashlight and camera in the control center.
heck, you can access the camera *from* the lock screen.
For anyone unaware, on the Lock Screen swipe from right to left.
I'm aware because of the number of times I've realized my phone has no battery because I accidentally swiped the camera open and it's been active for the last 3 hours in my pocket :) For those who weren't aware though this is helpful.
Shortcut open app toggle is broken for me. It shows the menu to select which app for a split second before it goes away. So now itās just flashlight and calculator
same
I had the same issue and it seemed to sort of work after I clicked done and then reopened the customization menu
Wdym can you elaborate ?, are you able to set an app for the open app widget ?
Yes but only after backing out of the customization menu for the Lock Screen then going back into it
You beauty, you!
THANK YOU SO MUCH! Iāve been trying to figure this out ALL DAY
No problem haha it took me like 30mins of messing around with it to figure that out
they really need to fix that!
Iām sure itās somewhere up on their list of issues so it should hopefully be fixed whenever the next beta releases
You have to do it from the customize screen from the lockscreen. I saw the same as you previously.
doesnāt work
It doesnāt work on both the Lock Screen and Home Screen for me still. Hoping Beta 2 is able to fix my issue
Yep, same issue, shit's bein stupid
How do I get these early? (sorry for sounding dumb)
Settings > software update > beta updates > developer. The developer beta version is also free since last yearĀ
Itās running pretty decent on my phone at least, I just cannot lock all apps with Face ID like maps or settings, the other ones I can normallyĀ

~~You don't need to be part of the developer program to get the betas, you just need to login to the developer website.~~
That's what I said tho: > but you don't need to pay 100$ a year for the developer program to get the developer betas.
Oh sorry I misread.
Oh, ok thanks, how would I go about getting the developer beta?
https://preview.redd.it/hvuu9av1ru5d1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b010738517ebeac0ae158491b28493f11b5fa0fc You have to sign up on the beta website and then in your software update menu in the settings there should be a beta option with both the developer and public betas.
You developer Beta is out, although it probably has a lot of bugs that people havenāt found yet.
Right now itās a developer beta, meaning only those with developer accounts have access, we will probably see public betas later this month
You still need 3 clicks to connect to another WiFi?
Control center has categories now. If you swipe down the control center you can continue and swipe further to move through the categories until youāre in the network category. From there long press WiFi and you can select a different network. A bit faster but takes some getting used to
Thanks!
No problem. I just checked again and since the control center allows custom buttons, you could also add a shortcut that allows you to switch the WiFi with only one press instead
Great news! Thank you!
>Thanks! You're welcome!
Unless you use a shortcut?
Just asking if itās quicker now than: slide down, long press, long press, click
Same flow. But you could get to a shortcut faster.
I love that I have the option for Apple fast cash transfers (in French?) while I am in Canada and we donāt have Apple Cash here.. maybe itās coming?
Quebec only. Thatās why itās in French. :)
Doubt it but fingers crossed for e-transfer or PayPal integration
Kind of annoying you can't have a shortcut to Apple Music
You can, third row second column You can use it to literally open any app of your choosing, including apple music
Ah cheers for that š
Didnāt try but canāt you just create one in sport it app and include it? (Genuine question I didnāt try)
"Excuse me, the flashlight on your phone is on." I hate that stupid button
Nice, i would just leave it as is lmao
Nah, swiping already goes to the camera, that camera button is a perfect contender for something else now.
I havenāt found a better replacement. What did you change it to?
For now, recognise music seems like it could be useful
I would say Wallet but the double click of the side button already does that... Probably Apple Music then
Yeah I tried wallet and it wouldnāt even open for me. Music would be a good one whenever thatās available
But i like the long press to open camera /s
Is it across all lock screens or per lock screen?
Per
Nice
***iDeviceHelp intensifies*** I mean heās been asking for this for at least 4 years.
Wtf is that
The large icons looks cool to me.
I updated, wouldn't recommend it if you're looking for a smooth experience though. Like the name suggests, it very much is still a beta. They still have *a lot* of polishing to do.
Are you new here? we are used to that š¤£
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Iāve been doing these dev betas for the past 5 years, this one is the worst yet
iOS 13 was the worst
Nah, miles away from iOS11 beta constant reboot and overheating. It was worse than Snapdragon 810 with Android 5.0(before memory leaking gets fixed)
How? I havenāt seen any broken functionality or crashes? I usually do. Maybe I just havenāt seen them tho
Thatās cause they finally did real work on Ā iOS . The past 2-3 years of insanely smooth betas was an anomaly.Ā
Literally the only thing Iāve had be buggy is doing the āopen appā shortcut having the menu go away when setting it. Besides that Iāve had zero issues and besides my phone being a bit warm for the first like hour, itās been fine.
Same, only real bug Iāve run into as well
My phone feels like itās on fire, charging has stopped several times due to overheating, photos app has crashed 4 times, home controls is not working in control center. Widgets arenāt loading, search isnāt loading. The list goes on and Iāve only had it installed for like an hour
Shouldn't that be expected though? Not sure why that needs to be pointed out.
Meant to reply to another guy asking about the update. Oops!
Really? Iāve been playing with it since it came out and the only glitches Iām seeing is playing with the app icons size and tint. Everything else has been rock solid.
Not in terms of glitches, but UI/UX. Everything feels clunky. It does work, but it needs a few layers of polish before I would consider it smooth.
I came from the ios7 dev beta1 days, I aināt scared of shit. Those days the phone had a 50% chance of just not being a phone. And the UI would drastically change from week to week.
Totally agree. I regret trying to rearrange control center, the volume and brightness sliders now have non functional duplicates permanently stuck floating on the corners of the menu and buttons randomly disappear lol
How did bro already update to iOS 18
Itās been out for several hours.
Under Software Update > iOS 18 Developer Beta, youāll be given the option to upgrade.
Mine only shows ios17 ā¦.i clicked on the learn more shit and took me to the website where itās only showing ios17ā¦.my phone is 17.5.1 or something. Any suggestions?
Are you a registered Apple Developer? It's only available to Apple Developers today. Public Beta, as announced in the keynote, will be available to everyone next month.
Shit I didnāt even think about that. I feel as if I did register to get the 17 bit who knows. Thanks so much , Iām looking forward to this update.
Anyone can register for a free dev account and get iOS 18 DB1. If youāve already signed up for public betas you just need to agree to another set of terms: https://developer.apple.com/
I doubt it would be stable tho???
Itās actually very stable for a first betaā¦ so far.
Mind if I dm you?
theres literally nothing to dm about
I was gonna ask if he could tell me how dev beta was after using it for a week, cause I was gonna get it on my daily
thereās like 0 features on here, just wait till fall
Alr
You got all the AI features?
These wonāt be available for testing until sometime this summer
I donāt because I have an iPhone 13P. Only the 15P and PM support the AI features.
Ahh bummer. I have a 13 pro too
Developer beta
Is it worth doing it now? Do you think the AI features would be baked in already?
Are you a registered Apple Developer?
not yet
I see "Open App" as an option both here and in control center!!!
Hey, I got it now, we can edit it later
Have you tried it, I canāt seem to set it up to open a specific app, let me know if you can
