developer release 1 out today

Yggr of Asgard · 07-06-2022 8:28am

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.

Yggr of Asgard · 08-06-2022 5:17pm

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?

djdunny · 16-06-2022 3:29pm

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.

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.

Raven1221 · 16-06-2022 4:09pm

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.

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.

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 👍

ios 16 public beta 1 is out

iniall · 12-07-2022 12:18pm

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

Yggr of Asgard · 12-07-2022 12:29pm

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.

Sonics2k · 23-07-2022 11:23am

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

Leftwaffe · 30-07-2022 9:28pm

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

Yggr of Asgard · 30-07-2022 9:39pm

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.

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

Yggr of Asgard · 31-07-2022 2:55pm

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.

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

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.

Doodah7 · 04-08-2022 11:45am

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.

Battery percentage as a displayed number is there now

peteeeed · 17-08-2022 8:09am

Ive noticed a bigger battery drain on this latest update (beta 4) ive got a 12 pro max

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.

iniall · 17-08-2022 3:15pm

Yeah, I'm on a 12 - have had to charge once already today and will need to charge again by 6pm or so, I reckon.

Same here, very noticeably not holding charge as well as it used to

peteeeed · 25-08-2022 7:27am

public beta 5 is out

peteeeed · 30-08-2022 7:29am

Beta 6 is out

awec · 12-09-2022 7:59pm

Looks like the App Store is broken, you get prompted for new T+Cs but it will error out when you try accept, so you cannot install or update any apps.

pad199207 · 12-09-2022 8:12pm

Yes getting that issue too

One eyed Jack · 12-09-2022 9:31pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119609391#Comment_119609391

Try again now. I just did, and was able to update apps this time.

So far I’m liking the way Focus Mode and Lock Screen are now linked. More granular options for notifications and the way they’re handled is a positive development.

Nice touch too with YouTube Music (Premium) on the Lock Screen - the background changes colour according to the Album Art if it’s in full screen. To toggle between the two different displays, tap on the Album Art either in full or mini mode.

(See attached screenshots)

Apple must have made improvements to the Bluetooth stack too, as Bluetooth audio is much more crisp, with greater clarity.

I’m not sure it’s a bug yet, but when using Apple Pay just now, the Bluetooth audio connection dropped out and I had to connect the earphones again.

Chefjom · 13-09-2022 7:44pm

Shouldn’t ios16 be available now? No option for it for me. 13pro max on gomo.

JoeA3 · 13-09-2022 8:32pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119614078#Comment_119614078

Yes, I downloaded it last night. The network provider is irrelevant. You need to be on WiFi, go to Settings -> General -> Software update and it should be there.

Chefjom · 13-09-2022 9:00pm

Thanks got it, was signed up to some beta testing. Removed myself and became available. Thanks

Gumbo · 13-09-2022 9:56pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119614078#Comment_119614078

Yeah. I’m on it since today. 13pro.

Spon Farmer · 15-09-2022 9:04pm

How is iOS 16 and tvOS 16 ? Any problems?

I usually wait a few weeks before updating to a new OS but my AirPods are having connection issues and I’m wondering if iOS and tvOS 16 will fix it.

peteeeed · 16-09-2022 8:40am

for those getting their shiny new toys today

Apple warns iPhone 14 users may experience issues activating iMessage and FaceTime out of the box

pad199207 · 16-09-2022 4:15pm

Yes my AirPods are having connection issues too

peteeeed · 18-09-2022 7:18pm

16.1 beta 1 is out , there is a WhatsApp bug where it wont let me upload a picture into the chat directly

lee_baby_simms · 20-09-2022 3:30pm

What are the chances of Lock Screen widgets being embraced by third party devs?

I’d love to see a Sonos controller or Outlook calendar/inbox but I’m not too confident. Sonos never created a iOS 15 widget iirc.

rizzee · 23-09-2022 12:32am

16.0.2 out.

ablelocks · 28-09-2022 12:29pm

i updated my ipad mini 6 to 15.7 a couple of days prior to release of ios 16 and since then haven't had the option to upgrade to 16,,,any ideas?

whiterebel · 28-09-2022 6:32pm

IPad OS isn’t out until October, I think.

peteeeed · 28-09-2022 9:30pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119675633#Comment_119675633

i think stage manager is still buggy as f... in beta

Spon Farmer · 02-10-2022 2:33pm

I’m posting here but I’m not sure if this is caused by iOS 16 or is just a change by Google.

Google has a function where a person can select an image or part of an image do a search for what, where, who etc is in that picture.

However since upgrading to iOS 16 it no longer identified anything but only shows “visually similar images”.

Do I need to adjust a setting or has Google removed the function?

Download it the other night and the battery life on my iPhone 13 hasn’t been great since

iniall · 14-12-2022 1:24pm

Thought satellite emergency contact was to be in 16.2, but I got a prompt out of the blue to test it yesterday and haven't updated to 16.2 yet. Weird. Anyone else get the same thing?
