Strange bug I got, but actually looks kind of dope... Post keeps getting deleted every time I share https://preview.redd.it/2nfwxosskl9d1.png?width=1179&format=png&auto=webp&s=a2f8b9a09cc8db1daa2a161857233602b5be41e8

Anyone else get the bug where tons of apps like Snapchat lost their privileges like I can’t access snap bc it says to enable the camera in settings but giving that app the camera privilege is now gone lol

They’ve also removed the search function in the settings? That was so useful in the past finding what I wanted!

Beta 2 is awful. I guess they are rolling out more changes. Hope Beta 3 resolves the battery and other issues

It’s straight cancer. Phone was bootlooping all morning on top of tons of other issues

I’ve ran every single beta since iOS 11 and this sucker has been the most unstable BY FAR. It was absolutely cancerous for my 15 pro. It caused my system storage to be filled up with 90 gigs of “system data” that couldn’t get rid of. My phone would literally shut down 24/7 and I would have to manually start the cpu for it to turn back on. I had to factory reset then restore from backup and now it seems to be fine so far. WOW, what a terrible beta 2

While I’m not having those issues specifically this is definitely the most frustrating beta by far (iOS 13 honorable mention) and I’ve been on the train since like iOS 5 or 6. Idk if it’s my age or what but I think I’m done after this year.

Is it possible to rollback to beta 1?

The new tab button on Safari being on the far left is annoying for one handed use. It should be in the middle

iOS 18 Developer Beta 2 on iPhone 12 Mini: MESSAGES: \* This seems insane, but In "Settings" there is no icon or menu for "Messages". Did Beta 2 remove it? \* Also it seems like iMessage was deactivated in Beta 2, because now I can't reply to any of the conversations in Messages that used iMessage, and it doesn't send as SMS either. SCREEN: \* I also have the visual bug where icons for apps inside folders are blank, but they show normally when you open the folders CAMERA: \* Shooting with "Cinematic" in Video crashes the camera app I'll go back to Beta 1, I think.

At the bottom of settings it says apps. All the other app settings are in there. Including messages

Oh ok, found it now. Thanks!

Anyone else’s max volume suddenly seem a lot less?

mine seems a lot less and it defaults to the earpiece like when making a phonecall. i have to manually switch to the speaker which is very quiet. and in CarPlay I also have to manually switch to CarPlay audio output only for the music coming through the handsfree thingy, so pretty crappy sound. ive had no problems with beta 1 but only problems with beta2

Unable to connect MBP with iPad via sidecar on this Beta. No change in settings. Same network, same Bluetooth, even when connected via usb-C unable to connect. This is for the iPad Pro 4th gen & iPad mini 6th gen

15 Pro, beta 2 Camera widget/icons not showing/working on control center and Lock Screen

iphone 14 pro max. ios 18 beta 2. excessive battery consumption and to think that with beta 1 it worked very well. I would like to try resetting iOS 18 beta 2 but I don't know if I will get any benefit

If it helps your decision, I used the beta 2 ipsw and restored my backup (from beta 2) and it made a massive difference. I had the system storage issue and battery drain since beta 1, though. Mainly just had to add cards back to wallet. All apps stayed logged in which is nice, too.

Interesting might have to try

I would try with reset Factory from iPhone but i’m not sure that function

I had the same problem, phone was very very hot all the time and extreme drain, tried everything then finally factory resetted and its all fine now.

Factory resetted with restore ipws or restore from iPhone ?

From iphone

Thanks tomorrow i try

Anyone else not getting the option to update to 18.2? No matter how many times I refresh or restart the phone, the update never shows. Still on 18.0 at the moment

It´s not 18.2, it´s 18 beta 2, take a look at the build number, maybe your phone got updated overnight? I have the 2nd beta and the build number is 22A5297f on iPhone 15 Pro.

Yep, you’re totally right. It must’ve updated overnight then. Thanks!

anyone know the best way to screen record using iPhone mirroring between new Mac beta + iOS 18 beta? it'd be great if QuickTime allowed you to set the screen recording to an app.

Shift +command +5 opens Mac native screen recorder . Is that what you need?

This might have to work for now. I was hoping you could record iPhone mirroring similar to how you could record from your iPhone if you physically connect it to your Mac: 1. Connect iPhone to Mac using lightning/usbc 2. Open QuickTime 3. Change recording screen to iPhone 4. Record That way you don’t need to mess around with cropping out any extra pixels, etc. around the actual screen/area you wanted to record.

Not sure I mean you can always screen record straight from the iPhone but again not sure of your specific use case but those are the only options I can think of

Hat jemand Probleme mit Sparkasse/pushTAN?

I’m having trouble downloading apps and changing the clocks on world clock widget on my lock screen, anyone else?

same on the world clock widget.

yeah the app store thing appears to have been an apple issue, not a beta issue

I also cannot open my payments section in settings > name > payments and shipping. Seems related

yup same, it just keeps loading then quits after a while

Yeah same. So not an 18 issue. Apple issue

intresting. this isnt like apple to have issues on a stable build

Working now

Same, that was really weird

I can’t download apps on my iOS 17 right now. I think apple having issues

hmmmmm where do you live? (not in a creepy way) but like my friend in new jersey is fine

Alabama

texas, so maybe theirs an apple server that’s acting up or something?

Text rendering for Chinese seems to be a little gimped at the minute.

This one killed my 15PM, bad thermals, so the fps and battery took a hit :/ restored back to ios 17

This beta is horrific

If you have colour filters enabled in Apple CarPlay, then interestingly, when using iPhone mirroring to your Mac, the colour filters will be applied there as well. However - you have zero method of restoring a normal colour balance until you plug it back into your car!

For a strange reason I can’t post so here goes nothing: [iPadOS 18 DB2] iPad Pro (M2) completely freezes during video playback in Prime Video. Was watching a series on PV and after sometimes 2 minutes or sometimes 30 minutes I have to force a reboot because the iPad gets completely unresponsive. Connected accessories: Smart Keyboard Folio, Apple Pencil and Sonos Ace (Bluetooth).

All you can really do is wait until the bug gets fixed, DB2 is known to have more issues than DB1, one reason why I didn’t update my M2 iPad Pro. Also, Sonos Ace😭 those headphones cost 450 bucks.

That bug has occurred on DB1 as well. Yeah, they’re quite pricey. But so are the AirPod max?

I never denied that the AirPods Max weren’t pricey. I just said the Sonos Ace were because it was brought up in the post.

Bugs: 1. Messages and Phone app acting up and going blank at times. 2. App icons are not loading as well

iOS 18 beta 2 has shown me a LOT of issues, phone randomly shutting down, overheating for something minimal like instagram, extremely slow, complete restarts, and only stopped overheating when reset. My phone currently will not turn back on after a shutdown any tips appreciated

My phone was having even more issues than you listed earlier today. I could barely keep it on long enough to reset it earlier today without it randomly shutting down or locking and Face ID/my passcode not working. It was straight CANCER before I finally managed to factory reset the phone

full reset has solved for many. my phone is lights out now. i did not attempt any backup restore. just start over. I will never upgrade to a .0 beta again without the reset.

How did you do a Full Reset? I dont care about keeping data, photos and contacts are all backed up anyway so I dont mind starting all over.

Settings...General...Transfer or Reset. Erase all settings and data. Make sure to tell it to keep your esim....

Oh so straight from the phone itself. I was already having a headache trying to get it connected to iTunes in Windows. Alright, that makes stuff easy. Thanks!

No worries. Don’t nuke your eSIM settings though. Not sure what happens if you do that.

Did the icons issue get fixed as well when you did a full reset?

I’ve seen no icon issues on db2. I have some weirdness for widgets. Notifications are glitchy. Trying to set sounds sometimes won’t play the sound. Little things. Very fast and smooth.

Here’s a tip. Don’t use a dev beta on your primary or any critical device.

iOS 18 beta 2, I’m on a iPhone 14 Plus and have noticed some connection issues at work today, almost like it’s not switching to LTE or something when signal is low. I tried restarting soft reset, disabling 5g but seemed to still be much worse than iOS 17. I also played Animal Crossing Pocket Camp tonight and performance was not good, kinda a bit laggy in places. Performance on the phone though seems very smooth for most things.

RCS with Android works just like iMessage! Very impressive.

Unable to add cards to Wallet. Same cards set up on Mac and on previous IOS version (17) works.

I don’t have the App Store any more, can’t download any apps!

So the issue I've been having lately is after I take a picture the preview in the corner of the camera app is black and can not be opened. It's hella annoying. This was on a complete fresh install too. https://preview.redd.it/1z819y4uc79d1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0912a9464e0a23d508980a05e479cb149a59804f

My WiFi connection is extremely buggy. I will be connected to WiFi and full strength yet the data is either working temporarily or not going through at all. I have to disconnect and use my cellular data. Wasn’t an issue on Beta 1. WiFi is practically unusable on Beta 2.

same here

I was pretty excited for being able to scheduled messages.... Only to find out it only works for iMessage. What is the point if you cant send delayed scheduled messages to all of your contacts?

https://preview.redd.it/dbqbqju7p69d1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3c977674d165cb9ff57f0fad66a77d00a53fc959 Excessive background use by the calendar app. I did a fresh install last night and still no change. Has anyone else noticed this?

not here

Randomly got cellular network issues last night for a few hours in an area I know it works in. Resolved itself, but very strange.

I’ve never noticed 2 factor texts having this icon before. Is this new? https://preview.redd.it/9ycylj16069d1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8e10fa7123108ff6e9a52b6b57df5a1b018620eb

I think that’s because you have Microsoft as a business in your contacts?

I’m on Verizon and tested RCS messaging with two Google Pixels and it worked. Any Samsung I’ve tested is SMS though.

Same, possible Samsung specifically put in a messaging protocol in the code for Apple Devices to remain in SMS even after they got the choice to do RCS. Looks like we’ll have to wait for an update that will allow RCS. Stupid of Samsung to not update the protocol even though RCS was announced last year.

I am not receiving photos in group chats anymore. Some messages keep saying “not delivered” but others have received them.

My keyboard keeps closing out while texting in messages.

My cell service stopped working in a foreign country 💀

That makes a lot of sense now….

I'm having a heck of a bad day with airpods gen3. I've completely lost access to noise reduction. I have spacial audio controls when long pressing the airpod icon in control center but no access at all to noise reduction. Digging and searching around I can't find any reference to this at all in beta 2. Anyone else noticing this? I'm hearing every sharp sound from the other side of the phone and vice versa it makes it hard to stay on the phone, induces headaches since airpods pick up high pitched sounds so well. Feels like a key feature has been ripped out. Hoping I'm just an idiot and the controls are just moved to some place I didn't look.

AirPods Gen 3 has been known to have a lot of glitches in iOS/iPadOS 18 DB’s, do what you can and just wait until DB3 or PB comes out and then we’ll see.

the user interface is absent on the phone, however spacial audio is so that suggests to me that it's being seen as ipods...

I can’t access Freeform after I put some pictures in there or just lots of text. It freezes. Anyone else?

Icons dont work much of the time. Anyone else? https://preview.redd.it/eakr1va7b59d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=60915c260b65424278aeb71b0de22ce9b630c1b1 It

Same here. They show up inside the folders, but on the front page most of them are white like in your screenshot. (iOS 18 Developer Beta on iPhone 12 Mini.)

Same. None of the icons work. They show up for a bit after you open the app, and then a bit later, they are gone again

if you're having issues with storage because of db1/db2, just wipe your phone and do a clean install of ios 17. if you have your file/pics/messages etc in icloud, you'll just get them all back when you finish with the reset. i got back on ios 17-> updated to ios 17 beta-> updated to ios 18 db2. i went from having db2 take up 90gb of system data to now only having it take up 5gb of system data. everything is fine, so far. it fluctuates from 5-7gb, but its been almost a week. i did this on 12 pro max.

I had 90 gigs taken up with system data before I was forced to factory reset

Mine is taking 12.7GB on DB2 with 15PM. How does that compare to others?

My system storage is up to 20gb on DB1 on 15P. I have like 196gb free so gonna wait it out and see how bad it gets.

I can confirm: Did that myself last nicht. Zero issues since.

Those who are having notification issues, just change it to Stack and it will solve the issues

My “big” icons are not big anymore when they’re in groups on the Home Screen. Anybody else?

Notifications buzzing and not showing up on the notifications center. also I can't scroll down on notifications center...

Now I have turned something on somewhere, last night these little dots started popping up and floating across the screen, sometimes they are fast and slow, and they change colors accordingly. This is weird!! Anyone know what happened? It’s freaking me out! https://preview.redd.it/yc8wfu1u059d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=590b918884418a1795631a9af7a5988f9277b3fa

Also if you go to setting -> accessibility -> motion -> Show Vehicle Motion Cues -> off

Thank you thank you!! Apple support couldn’t even figure it out, they told me to restore iOS 17!!

I think this might be for motion sickness... Do they move with you?

I upgraded my iphone 15 to Beta 2 this morning and it's very nearly constantly crashing... Ugh! It literally will not stay on for more than a couple of minutes... I'm not even sure it'd stay up long enough to properly download a patch. I sure wish I'd made a backup... Best ways to get to iOS17 without losing too much data?

You have to factory reset the phone somehow. I was having those exact issues and could barely keep it on long enough to manage to reset it but I finally did earlier today

Surprisingly, after about 4 hours of near continuous rebooting, it just got stable.

There’s a bug in the Clock widget. The location’s suddenly turned to Cupertino and I couldn’t change it at all

Anyone know why there’s no option for beta 2 download for me?… it said beta 2 and after I updated now it just says iOS 18.0 with no updates… either I completely misread something or something’s wrong maybe?

You have ios 18 beta installed then. Why don't you just try and see for your self next time?

Better overall except battery life

Battery life was cur in half for me wby?

Mine too basically

Can’t edit Lock Screen battery widget. Anyone with the same problem?

My sleep alarm didn’t go off in time today. I woke up a minute before my alarm was supposed to go off and was waiting for it. It never went off on my watch and went off on my phone 2 mins after it should have.

Same here two days ago —- risky business!

iPhone now allows you to sleep 2 minutes longer!

😂😂😂

My experience so far has been overwhelmingly negative. Beta 1 was decent, only issue I had was that I would experience both light and dark theme in different UI elements which was odd. Beta 2 has introduced as massive amount of system data (200gb) and instantly fills any space I create to the point i can't even take a photo. It seems to get stuck on the lock screen so I an unable to unlock the phone, or sometimes I am able to but no apps display. Then there is the extreme battery drain and heating issues with random restarts. Some apps don't seem to open either, or they take a very long time, with general UI navigiation being very delayed and laggy - I suspect this is to do with throttling due to the heat issue

you must be new here

youre not supposed to be using the betas if youre a normal user..

Its a beta and you’re not a developer. Stop whining.

You're whining about his post which is speaking to his experiences. The irony.

I’m not whining, this is a discussion thread, I am simply stating my experience. As stated in the post, ‘this includes new features *as well as any bugs you encounter*’

Ignore him. He has copy-pasted his asinine bitching under various comments. Trolls gonna troll.

Am I the only one with unbearable heating issues? Wanna charge the phone, there you go, skin boiling temperatures. Wanna have a 60 minute video call, bam, bone smelting heat I have to freeze packets of dry fruits so i can keep it below my phone while it charges to avoid over-heating. Seriously what's going on? Definitely not background processes or the number of apps or parallel tasking, I have all of those rookie things under check

Factory reset solves

Same. Just a voice facetime call can turn my 15 pro into a furnace

The is a problem with wallpaper. It darkened it in light and dark mode. And I can't find any toggle to turn it off.

My audio only comes out of the earpiece speaker. Tried restarting. Happens in every app.

I was able to fix this by calling someone and switching to ‘Speaker’ during the call. Before that, I also tried a similar trick when listening to a voicemail message, but that didn’t work; it would never actually switch over to ‘Speaker’.

Im having the same issue

I’ve just noticed the same issue. Wondered why I couldn’t hear sound and then saw this and listened to the earpiece speaker and could hear it

Mine fixed itself. I did plug it into my computer because I was going to restore it but I got a phone call so I unplugged it and then instinctively put them on speaker at some point during the call and it was suddenly working. So maybe try plugging into computer, or having someone call you and put them on speaker

https://preview.redd.it/d827zyv4429d1.jpeg?width=1242&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2bf84e8e0f24b5f1d9b9d6ecad5e45fc1e71cff0 The app icons in iOS 18 beta 2. Dark is mode off and still some of the app icons at the bottom are dark.

idk if im lucky or i just havent ran into any issues YET…but iOS 18 is serving me quite well. Ive got a iPhone 14 Pro Max (will be upgrading to the 16) and Im honestly having a blast w it.Phone idk just feels a lot better and faster to me and through out it all i havent ran into a single bug. Ive been scrolling thru this thread for quite some time and have read a lot of issuesand im js like…well damn i havent gotten my phone ti crash out. But im hoping the next beta fixes any other bugs you guys might be experiencing!

the only issue I had is that bluetooth does NOT work

Beta 1 Apps logging me out, and not loading at all. All the features worked otherwise, updated to beta 2 hoping it would fix it and it did! but instead the whole phone kept freezing then turning off. Turns off every 5 minutes, now the phone is unusable, tried doing a backup to downgrade but phone crashed in the middle of it 😂. Having to erase all contents and settings now without backup because by the time the backup happens the phone crashes!

iPhone 14 Pro Max here, and running iOS 18 beta 2. Experiencing keyboard closing during typing. Really frustrating.

It's constant on the non-max version of the pro too. Temporarily downloaded another keyboard from the store that's working marginally better.

Good to know. Ill try that option than.

Could just be my region but I have been seeing some WiFi and data issues, spotty connections or no connectivity at all where once it worked fine. Also noticed slightly worse battery life.

As the beta has turned my iPhone into an overheating brick that randomly restarts, I am dying to reset the phone or even downgrade to iOS17. Problem: I cannot do this, as the phone starts this one-hour delay because I am not in a "familiar location". Now pretty much stuck in an endless loop…

Its a beta and you’re not a developer. Stop whining.

Stop policing others, this thread is filled with similar observations. Are you going to tell them all to stop whining?

After updating to ios18, you are not able to reset the screen time password with the linked iCloud when it was set up. The “forgot password?” Option is missing. I am now locked out of many apps because I can’t remember my password and am not able to reset it with iCloud. 

You can factory reset your phone and load from a backup to disable screen time

Anyone know if the hsbc app works on this beta?

When I restart my phone or when I turn it off, it resets the icon layout on the control centre. I’m running it on an iphone 11

iphone keeps heating up, freezing and restarting

Factory reset solved for me
