    The new home app is really nicer to use than the old one with a single page with clear icons and bubbles for the devices.

    Reminds me of some Android version of Home Controll.

    Beta is running pretty smoothly on my 13 Pro.

    Lock Screen customisation is about 10 years delayed, can’t believe it took them this long.



  • Registered Users Posts: 4,985 ✭✭✭ Yggr of Asgard


    Most apps work fine for me.


    Exceptions

    Microsoft Outlook

    Required me to enable developer support under privacy option to start but now works

    Microsoft Notes

    Starts and then crashes, no fix so far found

    Salesforce

    Starts and then crashes, no fix so far found

    Tempted, as always, to go on to the beta for a while as I always enjoy it. How are the banking apps like AIB and Revolut working on there?



  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 19,676 Mod ✭✭✭✭ Mr.S


    Revolut works fine, but given how many different betas get released it could end up breaking. Developers usually fix major crashing issues with the public betas though.

    You can always downgrade, just have a backup.

    Can I check if anyone had an issue with the BordGais app. For some reason I can’t log in since moving to iOS 16. Deleted the app. Power cycled the phone. Tried both methods to log in and still get an error.



  • Registered Users Posts: 21,869 ✭✭✭✭ One eyed Jack



    I don’t think it’s an iOS 16 issue dj. I’m still on 15.5, tried logging in just now to the BordGais app, it doesn’t log in. Instead I get a prompt that they’re experiencing technical difficulties.

    I think Apple make good phone. This is a good news, that the OS is upgrade, for the mobile world. Will watch video of the new feature if I can.



  • Registered Users Posts: 938 ✭✭✭ djdunny


    Are you using dark mode by any chance. I’ve had it on this entire time and when I’d type in my email or password it shows as blank. When I changed back to light mode it showed the email address and password. I ended up changing the password (again) and could log in.



  • Registered Users Posts: 21,869 ✭✭✭✭ One eyed Jack



    Using light mode, but now you mention it I had that same behaviour in dark mode. I’ll follow the steps you suggested and should see it sorted, cheers 👍

    Beta 2 is very snappy I’ve found, haven’t come across any major bugs so happy to have it on my main phone at the moment.

    Lock Screen customisation - tbh I find this a bit ****, it’s a very Apple move to restrict it to limited presents. Why can’t we have custom fonts, size of the clock, more than 1 row of widgets etc?

    ios 16 public beta 1 is out



  • Registered Users Posts: 529 ✭✭✭ iniall


    Anyone running any of the public betas? Tempted to install iOS 16 on my phone, but it would probably be madness, right?



  • Registered Users Posts: 4,985 ✭✭✭ Yggr of Asgard


    Public Beta = approx. Developer Beta 3 so it's not too bad.

    I have it running on an older device and beside Microsoft Notes and a specific TAN generator from a bank everything else works fine.

    Some minor issue with Home app not refreshing quickly enough is the only other thing I have found.



  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 19,676 Mod ✭✭✭✭ Mr.S


    Just backup and you can always downgrade.

    iOS 16 Dev Beta 3 / Public Beta 1 runs very well on my 13 Pro Max. There are a few random glitches / app crashes but nothing major.



  • Registered Users Posts: 8,234 ✭✭✭ Sonics2k


    On the Public Beta for about a week or more now, aside from the Lock screen changes it's mostly under the hood stuff.

    One bug I've found is an issue with notifications, often with an odd delay between the time the message is sent and when the notification shows. Even a few calls have gone entirely missed (including WhatsApp calls) because the phone isn't notifying of the incoming call. Missed a call at 11:05 today, but the red bubble didn't show until 11:15 and it's not on focus mode.

    16 public beta 2 is out

    might be time to take the plunge



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,548 ✭✭✭ Leftwaffe


    Anyone on public beta now? How’s it holding up? Heard battery life is hit.



  • Registered Users Posts: 4,985 ✭✭✭ Yggr of Asgard


    On Public Beta 2 I have no battery issue but some apps with Face Id case a "Your System experienced a crash" message with no other consequences that a prompt to submit a crash report and then everything is back to normal for a while. Very random.



  • Registered Users Posts: 13,381 ✭✭✭✭ peteeeed


    my 12 pro max is ok , i think it will very much depend on the device used

    Has anyone noticed Apple Pay vendor names are incorrect when you complete a transaction? I’m on beta 4 but it’s happened since beta 1. It

    eg I’ll pay in Starbucks but the vendor on the Apple Pay notification will come up as Boots, which is next door. Same store on ios15 will appear correctly.

    Seems like Wallet pulls the info from Maps but it’s less accurate on the current Betas.



  • Registered Users Posts: 4,985 ✭✭✭ Yggr of Asgard


    I now have an annoying bug in which "home app" is not updating until I close the app and re-open.

    In addition, every few hours I am getting told that my passwords for the HomePod's is wrong and I need to log on again which than takes 2 attempts to sit due to above home app bug.



  • Registered Users Posts: 4,985 ✭✭✭ Yggr of Asgard


    I checked my recent transactions and all payments show with the right vendor/location for me.



  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 19,676 Mod ✭✭✭✭ Mr.S


    It only seems to happen with some places, strange!

    Logged it anyway

    Apple delaying iPadOS 16 release to October; iOS 16 still expected in September

    Apple is planning to delay the release of iPadOS 16 by a month, according to a new report from Bloomberg. While iOS 16 is still expected to be released during its usual launch window in September, Apple needs more time to perfect the iPadOS 16 experience as it relates to Stage Manager.



  • Registered Users Posts: 3,481 ✭✭✭ Doodah7


    Stupid Stage Manager. All fuss and hoohaa over multitasking windows and Apple make it out to be the best UI experience since the dawn of time.

    Am on the 13 Pro and have noticed a big battery drain on the latest update. Am having to charge during the day, which I haven't had to do to date.
