Apple Seeds Second Betas of iOS 18 and iPadOS 18 to Developers

[DaveOP]

Ugh. Just installed it on my 15 PM. No obvious updates to Siri interface, still no RCS...I honestly can't tell the difference yet.

I have a RCS toggle in Settings--Messages now

Photos app no longer crashing when dragging favorited item all the way to the bottom of the favorited items in pinned collections.

 

[Tonewheel]

Please reply to me if these are resolved, I’ve avoided b1 of an iOS release for the first time since ios7.

Yes, affirmative. Just sent a message from my Macbook... phone opened it as expected. Checking swiping...

 

[DaveOP]

The setting for RCS is there. But it doesn't seem like it works yet.

I was able to turn it on for Verizon and T-Mobile lines, powering up an Android phone to see if it actually works.

Only real issues ive noticed with Beta 1 were battery life is a little compromised and gets warm and notifications on home screen will show list of past notifications from same app even from weeks ago

iPhone mirroring Europe experience

 

[Artesia]

Widgets are still appearing light when dark theme is applied.

 

[retrospek]

Yay iPhone Mirroring is working in UK...

 

[Artesia]

This is tweaked a bit:

I've tried with an iPhone and Android on ATT. Still shows as SMS.

Here's hoping this fixes the Lockscreen Notifications bug. B1 was surprisingly stable and I didn't experience any lockups or reboots, not even the Springboard restarting, but not having notifications properly display on the lockscreen has been more irritating than I would have thought.

Edit: Yeah Buddy! Lockscreen notifications now working normally and Changelog confirms it was specifically addressed.

Notifications​

Resolved Issues​

• Fixed: Incoming notifications on Lock Screen might not be seen when in List View. (129021171)

Lock screens notifications are working

Omg this is amazing, you can say a phrase to do a task!!!

Boy, this one is wild already.

• Icons don't turn dark when Dark Mode is enabled
• Turning Dark Mode on and off turned ALL of my homescreen icons not in the dock into the white "bullseye" icon thing. Dock icons and App Library icons are fine.

Updating to beta 2 now - random question, in the photos app, does anyone know how to select multiple photos to delete in bulk? The "select" button doesn't exist in my GUI, and the only way I can "select multiple" is in share mode.

Am I missing something?

That is what I mean. It doesn't seem to work. Both my Android phones still seem to default to SMS.

Changed Region to US, en language to English, but not finding iPhone mirroring, were is it located in the settings?

 

[Apple Mac Daz]

App Store got a dark icon now

Same for me. Worked fine on beta 1, but now they are screwed up

I thought Beta 1 was pretty solid.

I noticed Beta 2 fixes a problem in the Files app. I downloaded a video from iCloud but in Beta 1 they took away the “Save video” option. It has now returned.

You have to pull the library down to get out of the highlights stuff. Once it expands a bit you’ll have access to select multiples

If you long-press the home screen and select "Customize", switch between small and large icons and then back and it'll restore your icons.

 

[Braindome]

Shame they haven’t fixed my shortcut problems. It’s no longer possible to check for calendar events within a variable date range. I use this to set my alarm automatically based on whether I’m actually working the next day.

No clue how I didn't catch that sooner! 🤦‍♂️ Thank you!!

If your in the EU you will not get it.

Let's go! The prior beta was very buggy.

Really I found it pretty stable what made you have unstable issues curiosity or is it an older phone? I only had one time with using safari froze phone for about 40 seconds then back to normal
