iPhone 12 Pro here. I have iCloud turned off and when I save a photo from iMessage to my camera roll, the photo will delete itself within hours after I delete the message. So until there is a fix, I’ll save all of my messages. Crazy, unfortunate bug.
Got a tip for us?

Apple Releases iOS 15.0.1 With Fix for Apple Watch Unlocking Bug on iPhone 13 Models

My 2015 iPad Pro was stuck on the Apple logo longer than usual with this update around 11pm last night. Status bar not moving, few restarts..again stuck logo for 6-7 minutes. But finally finished. Took much much longer than normal.
I haven't updated this 13PM yet, honestly this phone has been working fine for me, even the Apple watch face mask unlock works, 95% of the time (knock on wood) I just fear messing with it.
I must have selected the wrong icon. Seems I am on Apple's beta testing program. Anyway to unselect it? (sarcasm)
It fixes another bug not related to apple watch: some users with tens of GB free -I included- got a false ‘iphone storage almost full’ notification in settings upon updating to iOS 15. The notification did nothing when tapped and wouldn’t go away. iOS 15.0.1 removes it. They still have to fix a related bug: iOS 15.0.1 still displays incorrectly the amount of used and free iphone storage space.
Anyone else still having issues unlocking with mask on while having an Apple Watch? mine still isn't working post update 15.0.1.
Many thanks! I tried that. I can see the downloaded update. I can select Delete. I am promoted to confirm. I do so. Nothing happens. Download remains. iPad remains in the same situation. Oh well.
Thanks Apple
Hmm. Yeah, that‘s usually the last thing you can try.
When you say it doesn’t work, what do you mean? Are you able to toggle the switch in faceid & passcode settings int he settings app? Is it already turned on, but it won’t unlock via your watch?
This one finally fixed the battery drain on my 11 Pro Max and the weird zoom in BUG I had on the iPad Pro
Heres what I did to get it to work: Plug iPad into your Mac or MBPro....(turn off synch if you wish)...in Finder (or iTunes) initiate the upgrade. Will take some time but will work. This is what the 2nd tier Apple Tech support person told me to try. Here are the docs she sent:Same here. iPhone fine, iPad Pro 9.7 fine, iPad Pro 10.5 "verifying" or "installing" for hours. Reset network settings, reset iPad, no joy. It was fine before this
Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with the Finder and
Hope this helps.
Cmaier...I've gotten mine to work but JFMInfo: where are 'storage settings' to delete a non-working update? (if I worded this correctly...). Thanks...
I've noticed over the years that its sometimes 'hit-or miss'. Works about 90% of the time .....
After updating to 15.0.1 the Compass app on my IPhone 11 Pro does not work. Frozen pointing to North. Apple Support has no solution.
Settings | general | iPhone storage, then scroll down and if you have an uninstalled - but downloaded - update, you can delete it.
same here. Exactly the same error as I got on ios15.

Mine unlocked like crazy, until I installed the update.
iPhone 11 Pro Max, and AW 4. It unlocked every time I raised my arm. Every time I raised my iPhone. It got to be ridiculous. Post update, now it has seemed to revert back to the 'early days', when it did it when it was damned ready to, and not before. I have had to enter the numbers into the iPhone more now than before. *shrug* The pendulum swings from one extreme to another...

Actually I was still on 15.0.
So now I'm totally mystified as to what broke it, and why it's stopped being so helpful. Weird... I give up. Can I go back to 1998? It seemed all so much easier back then.
So, update, 15.0.1 fixed the mask unlock from the watch....infact, it works even better now than it did before.
I'm not getting badge or sound alerts for iMessage from only a few people, and all of my iCloud mail is being marked as read before I even open the Mail app. I'm thinking the iMessage messages are being marked as read immediately, too. It would have the same impact. I know it's not the app itself because I've tried in the Stock Mail App, Spark, Edison Mail, the Gmail app, and Airmail. All of my other accounts are fine across the board but my iCloud Mail has been consistently marked as read as soon as it's delivered. I've checked notification settings on my iPhone, iPad, and my MBP. I've even restored my iPhone & Apple Watch via the IPSW file in Finder. No change.
My bad, the first article I read about it only said it happened if during a restore. You could forward the photos to your own text message, then you would only have one thread (to and from yourself) that you would have to save until the bug is fixed.
