Just noticed that the TV app now offers to play the next episode in a TV series when you get to the end of watching one. (About time).

Addresses an issue with Mail that could cause remote images to load even when the "Load Remote Images" setting is disabled.
Does anybody know when that feature was added to iOS? OS X/macOS had it for ages but I obviously had not noticed it when it came to iOS.

I just updated and Siri suggestions for apps are random, I see apps I haven't opened in weeks.
The suggestions are usually spot on, I'll see if it goes back to normal after using the phone for a while or if a persistent bug

Just found another bug, if I open Photo I see two pictures taken in September at the bottom, as if they were taken today.

After months of having Apple Music app crash repeatedly and other apps have issues with stability, this “little” update has fixed that and everything feels smoother and faster, hooray!

A lot of people complain that iOS has bugs bugs bugs, while is true for first releases... iOS has been rock solid for me on ipad and iphone. Whatever this fixes and makes it better is even more welcome.

I have no complaints bugs wise, happy solid user experience. That is why I like Apple...
 
AND THEY STILL have not taken off or changed the ridiculous volume control crap. This came out 2 updates ago. Most of the time I can not hear the phone ringing and getting a text or any noise because some how when it is in my pocket the volume control is disturbed and it is always turning down the volume. :( :(

This could be due to a bug which has existed since last Summer when the first iOS13 beta came out. Feedback requests have been ignored, and one was closed with "working as expected".

To see if it is this bug, check in settings whether you have "Change with Buttons" enabled. If not, then this won't affect you. If yes, then ... every time you receive an audio call (maybe only FaceTime), when the call ends iOS will set your ringer volume to the same as your media playback volume. If the latter is low, then without you doing anything, your ringer volume will drop low too.

To test this, either turn off "Change with Buttons" or set your media playback volume to max/high, and see if you still get the issue.

I also have this problem, thought I was going crazy, I have change with buttons on
 
Well, in the darkness of 13.3.1, a spot of light can be seen. I just tested the Reminders issue where previously if you amend a reminder on your Mac it didn't sync across to your I device. With 13.3.1 this process now works. It's very slow to.sync across from Mac to I device, but it does work.
 
Finally some great news! Thanks!

The above comment is striked as now it isn't working again!!! Something seriously is wrong with Apple. Dare I say it, it's gone rotten!!!

I rely on reminders and notes heavily ... it syncs quickly and flawlessly across my iOS 13.3.1, iPadOS 13.3.1 and my 2 macOS 10.15.3 devices ... but did also since Catalinas launch

Could my issues lie with the fact that I'm running El Capitan? The sync issue is so random. It was working for a while the other day - albeit with a mega delay in the sync cutting across from the Mac to the phone. e.g. if I had a Reminder to 'complete tax form @ 10am' and then amended on my Mac to complete form at 16:00, sometimes it would sync across to my iPhone after some time... but then sometimes it wouldn't sync at all. BUT if I made the amendment on the iPhone, it would sync across within seconds.

Strange!

Edit: the same goes for Mail. If I delete Mail on the Mac, it won't sync across unless I refresh!
 
Exchange mail has been buggy since ios13 beta. Still not fixed. Mailbox items don’t update. The badge shows new messages but the new items won’t show up until a few refreshes.


Now the mail app has a new bug. Before a swipe from left edge in an email view would return to the mailbox Now it simply marks it unread.
That should be the correct behavior in the mailbox not inside an email.

Things don’t seem to be getting fixed and new problem keeps popping up in mail. That is a core application on the phone as important as the phone app imho.

Can we fix these problems and worry about toggles and stickers later?
 
13.3.1 sprint and ipX still missing 1/2 my incoming calls .... its odd because I'm using continuity with iPad OS and my 2 mac's setup to receive incoming calls ... and while my ipX says I missed 1 call, my iPadOS Keeps ringing ...
 
Battery life is better (on an iPhone SE), but 13.3.1 has introduced a ringer volume bug for me, keeps turning down the ringer volume - @adrianlondon documented it earlier. I’ve disabled “Change with Buttons” as a workaround.
 
have you seen an improvement? I’m at my wits end with my 6s on 13.3

Nope, no improvement at all.. It seems solved in the first hours, and all of a sudden, the drain starts again..

I'm about to report my last attempt in the Battery drain & iOS 13.3 thread: Disable Siri, dictation and Siri in iCloud Settings. Again, I'm in the first 24 hours (right after disabling, hard resetting and unplugging my SE), and again it looks like things have improved.

It's a very, very frustrating issue.. with iOS 12, I did not had to do any of this disabling this of disabling that crap to have a decent battery life.. I'll just live with it if it doesn't work.. It's not worth my time anymore..

El Cap? What works on El Cap for you that doesn’t on High Sierra?

That’s just the new behaviour in 13. Swipe from the the right in a message gives flag, reply and trash. Swipe right from off screen to return to the list.
what needs to be fixed is the insane auto correct/suggestions that insert non words while typing or trying to pick suggestio - just like that. The offer was suggestions. Not fixing it. In previous iOS‘s, you could make coherent sentences from suggestions but now it would consist almost entirely it monkey typos.

Is 13.3.1 better, worse or what? The lack of outrage suggests it’s not actually worse, but are there verifiable improvements?

It's not so much El Capitan not working, it's more the sync issues between El Capitan and iOS 13. If I have overdue Reminders they will show on both my iPhone and Mac (running El Capitan). However, if I choose to 'remind me later' on my Mac, sometimes that action will sync across to my iPhone. Sometime that action will not sync. This is the same for Calendar notifications.
