Apple Seeds Fourth Beta of iOS 18.5 to Developers [Update: Public Beta Available]

[MacRumors]

Apple today seeded the fourth betas of upcoming iOS 18.5 and iPadOS 18.5 updates to developers for testing purposes, with the software coming a week after Apple released the third betas.

iOS 18.5 and iPadOS 18.5 can be downloaded from the Settings app on a compatible device by going to General > Software Update.

So far, iOS 18.5 and iPadOS 18.5 are relatively minor updates, introducing just a few new design changes. There are more options for reverting the Mail app back to the prior design, including removing contact photos, and AppleCare info is easier to find. The update also likely has bug fixes and performance improvements that are less obvious.

Apple is transitioning to iOS 19 and iPadOS 19, which are set to be previewed in June at the Worldwide Developers Conference.

I hope, that they will fix this bugs:
1. Scratch when you listen audiomessage in WhatsApp via your ear and pick down volume to the lowest level (you will hear a scratch sound)
2. When you lock your phone and make it idle for some time, notification don't come to your device until you unlock it and go to the app (e.g WhatsApp, Telegram and etc.)

Anyone on a iPhone 14 Pro that updates to this can you test the camera with a low battery 30% or less if you “spam” the camera button “5 times or more” causes my iPhone 14 Pro to turn off if I have 5% and plugged in it’s fine , or on battery 30% or more it’s also fine .

 

[Cristim74]

Build number is 22F5068a so probably RC next week.

 

[Jay Bly]

My wish list. A couple of tweaks for the camera.

 

[nt5672]

I just hope it works for more than a couple of weeks without having to fix it again.

 

[Dog Bone Malone]

Doh, and double Doh! 18.4.1 is most excellent as far as stability and baddery life is concerned.

But, I'm weak. The force is strong in this latest Beta update!🥸

 

[Reeneman]

I just hope it works for more than a couple of weeks without having to fix it again.

In these days with connected devices some security fixes can occur the eine time. There’s no proof with any version.

 

[Reeneman]

My wish list. A couple of tweaks for the camera.

What kind of tweaks?

 

[Macalway]

Caved and gone beta.

The Wild Side.

Sounds wild

 

[Amazing Iceman]

Need iOS 19 now 🥀

Need iOS 20 yesterday! 😆

 

[mipo]

I hope there will be some progress fixing wifi issues on older iPads, ever since 18.+ release it went bonkers.

 

[alecgold]

Hope this fixes mail. It has been really bad for ages. :-( not downloading emails, need to shut down mail to read attached files. Grumble.

 

[TOM1211]

Sounds wild

Apple bugs always are

 

[robcole2013]

I read battery life is bad, can anyone confirm?

 

[RafaelHO]

Hopefully it fixes the played podcasts not deleting automatically.

 

[Reeneman]

Hopefully it fixes the played podcasts not deleting automatically.

Can’t confirm. For me it’s still not working. It’s like this since iOS 18.4

 

[Rafagon]

Hasn't it been possible to remove contact photos in Mail since 18.2, the very version which introduced them?

What am I missing here?
