Apple Releases iOS and iPadOS 13.2 With New Emoji, Deep Fusion for iPhone 11, Siri Privacy Options, and More

[Expos of 1969]

This is one ugly update. Taking forever on an 11 Pro

Quite fast on my iPhone SE.

Huh - does this mean I can roll my iPhone 6s (which has a good battery BTW) back to 12.4.3? Cuz so far iOS 13 has been a dog.

No. iOS 12.4.3 was released only for older devices that got all the way to iOS 12 but were left out of iOS/iPadOS 13. That includes the iPad Air 1, iPad mini 2 and 3, iPod touch 6th gen and iPhone 5s and 6/6 Plus.

does anyone know if Deep Fusion is a mode, or does it happen automatically?

The recent OS updates in last couple of years are full of bugs. Too many issues. What happened to QC at Apple? Apps crashing randomly, not keeping in memory, mail and numerous issues. Apple should fix these instead of launching new updates every year.

Still not able to send MMS or group chat to people with Android phones.

I have the same problem, but it appears only Facebook is affected.

Near as I can tell, it's not app-specific. (Happened to me with FB ,but also with the Reddit app and a few others). From what I see it affects those apps that are sitting in memory that you've just used, not the static apps that you put in the dock permanently.

"On the ‌iPhone 11‌ and 11 Pro, there's a new option to change video recording settings right from the Camera app..."

Now that's a kick in the pants. My main feature hope for iOS 13 finally introduced, but limited to the latest phones. How much effort would it have taken to bring it to the older camera app as well? Beyond annoying.

It likely took more work to hold this feature back from phones, than it did to enable it.

Hope this fixes the bug where the currently playing podcast doesn't show up in control center. Mine continues to show to last song played in the Music app.

Just installed it…spoiler alert: It's still not fixed.

Finally available via mac-finder

Or how about when you forward someone a message and it doesn't forward the message body...

Hasn't that problem been around forever? Maybe Apple is touting it as a feature. (You can get around this by selecting your entire message before responding - that usually does the trick)

Hey, early iOS 13.2 adopters.....

Any update pushed for Watch OS yet????

Nothing so far on Rumors or 9to5 MAC...

Don’t update ios 13.2 makes Apple Music unusable

 

[lartola]

What exactly is your point? Is Apple required to offer every single software feature to every single customer of every single device?

Just because it is a "software" feature does not mean you're automatically entitled to it. That's an iPhone 11 feature. If you like it, buy an iPhone 11.

Actually they do offer the same features on all devices, the only exception being features that require new hardware found only on the latest devices. I like, for example, how macOS Catalina is one and the same for all macs, unlike Windows where they have Windows 10 Home edition, Windows 10 professional, windows 10s, etc.

• Handoff music, podcasts or phone calls by bringing your iPhone close to HomePod
• Add music to your HomeKit scenes
• Play relaxing high-quality soundtracks with Ambient Sounds
• Set sleep timers to fall asleep to music or Ambient Sounds

Don’t update ios 13.2 makes Apple Music unusable

In what way ?

 

[Roy Hobbs]

Just updated and Apple Music is broken. Come on Apple, this is ridiculous!

 

[Ramchi]

Just not tested the DF under near dark indoor condition with my iPhone 11, the resulting image was amazingly noise free bright and warm with great details though the subjects were working 10 ft!! Very well done Apple !

 

[lartola]

I have the same problem, but it appears only Facebook is affected.

No, facebook isn’t the only one. I have had that happen with twitter, youtube and reddit as well. No response when I tap the icon in the recently used apps area of the dock.

 

[HobbesInVA]

In what way ?

Apple Music won't load at all. It's clocking indefinitely.

 

[lartola]

I'm wondering if they've fixed that problem with some of the apps in the dock not activating. (As far as I know, this only affected the iPadOS, not iOS)

I hope they did. And yes, it only affects iPadOS because only iPadOS places recently used apps on the right-hand side of the dock.

same here...

 

[tylersdad]

No, facebook isn’t the only one. I have had that happen with twitter, youtube and reddit as well. No response when I tap the icon in the recently used apps area of the dock.

I guess I should state that I'm only having this issue with Facebook. None of my other apps do it, but I don't use Reddit or Twitter and I don't use YouTube often enough to have noticed a problem.

So... do the new emoji's not show up on Messages for the Mac?

 

[Martyimac]

My brand new iPhone 11 Pro running iOS 13 and a new Mac running Catalina are so mindblowingly buggy, it’s not even funny.

The two have been the absolute worst releases in Apple history.

Worse than MobileMe, worse than [insert the worst product here].

Unforgivable
🤬🤬🤬

Hyperbole was correct assessment. Catalina and my iPhone 11P running the latest updates have been no worse, and no better than previous updates. In fact, I had more issues with Mojave initially than I have had with Catalina. iOS updates have been okay.

I just used it on 13.2. What specifically does it make unusable ?
