It works when it wants and doesn’t when it does not. I mean…

WhatsApp Web on Safari doesn’t sync with your phone in real time. So you get the notifications [only the red badge in my case, not as banner in the notification centre] when Safari syncs. If you open your WhatsApp web often, chances are you will have to wait a few seconds before the new messages are synced. Plus, all read messages on the phone remain unread on WhatsApp Web until you open each chat/message. In short, it’s annoying.

And by the way, you need to save/bookmark WhatsApp Web. In my case, I installed it as a web-wrapped app using Siri Shortcut, so it feels like a native app to some degree.

Maybe WhatsApp has to fully support this notification functionality to make this work properly.
That all, sadly, makes sense. I'll mess around with to see if I can figure out a useable solution. Even if I could just have it in a Stage Manager window while doing other work so it's updating live and pinging me on that particular Stage would be a step in the right direction, so maybe that's doable...

Actually, as long as I'm plumbing your brain: do I need to do something special to activate the actual notifications? I updated my iPad, but not sure how to actually make it notify. Speak ipad, speak!

OS 16.4 and iPadOS 16.4 may be some of the last updates that we see to the ‌iOS 16‌ and iPadOS 16 operating systems...

Don't bet on it...
 
I'm pretty excited about that flute emoji. Finally! 🤣

I'll wait and see how the battery life is. I'm still on 16.2. Also wait to see what all of you think about it.
 
Ok finally solved issue the ipad 16.4 is same as RC should not update with profile or beta on or off. But on iphone after deleting old profile and rebooting the options for beta are there but left off and sure enough the minor update for my iphone has shown and am downloading now….
 
So voice isolation for cellular calls is only available once you're already in a call via the control centre? You can't set it as default so it works on all calls automatically, you have to go into control centre every single time?

How horrendously unintuitive. It's about as user friendly as putting your charging port on the bottom of your mouse. Apple make some bafflingly stupid decisions sometimes.
 
Don’t think Standalone was included intge final version of iOS 16.4. No mention in the official release notes
It seems to work for some people, though. Maybe it was not announced in general because it is T-Mobile specific.
 
anyone else's wallpaper now look terrible? I've been using the ios 15 default "lava lamp" wallpaper (images) on my iPhone 14 Pro since I got it...and now after this update, it looks like it's been flattened and compressed.
 
I turned off the public beta and I still don't have the update. My version of 16.4 is 20E246
This only works I found after playing around and getting advice for my iphone. The iphone version is 20E247 so if you do that and remove the old beta profile that also is there from beginning of getting 16.4 beta and then also let the removal reboot the iphone then update shows. I also happen to have my beta update now off on the last RC on phone settings as well. I guess the iPadOS version of release is 20E246 so there will be no update from the RC on your ipad if thats where you are trying to update.

I only did the Beta on the Iphone. I updated the other devices today as usual.

Ok as several said here and also on apple seed one has to remove the old beta profile that was installed when we started 16.4 beta series. And I also had the beta option of. My iphone rebooted and upon hitting software update in general the final update 20E247 is installed. There is no update for those of us who also did the 16.4 IPadOS is same as RC 20E246 and nothing will happen thusly for you your ipad is final.

Yeah I was confused and thought the iPadOS would also update til that was made clear the RC was final I usually only test on my older iPad which can be wiped if something bad happens. But 16.4 for iphone was of interest and not to nasty with bugs so I tried it back to regular from now on for my only iPhone.

Is there a 5G Standalone toggle as there was in the betas? The standalone speeds are supposed to reach gigabit speeds
