Apple Seeds Second iOS 18.4 and iPadOS 18.4 Release Candidate With Priority Notifications, Ambient Music and More

How did we ever play background music before this OS innovation? Here’s an innovation idea, FIX ALL THE BROKEN THINGS!!
 
Try this bug: Have the always-on screen turned on. Then, enable a focus mode that turns off the always-on screen. When you switch off the focus mode and lock the phone, the always-on screen remains off, even though it should revert to its previous state, which was on.

Am I just imagining that people were saying RCS support is coming to the rest of the TMobile MVNOs in this update? I've been on both RCs and there is no RCS still.
 
Well RC2 is fine on my 15 PM iOS no bugs found. But on my M4 iPad it has caused major crashing in the latest Facebook iPadOS app released this week. When I open personal pages and group pages (rather than the ad infested news feed) I find many crashes and quits especially when scrolling or selecting a post/image on those personal pages and groups. Filed a bug report but seems some conflicts with Apple Code and Meta FB code in their ongoing battle/competion for privacy vs using us as their commodity (FB that is)

How did it screw up your WiFi connection mine has been fine as far as I can tell? I have not gotten errors about the WiFi not working/connecting or the usual when mine has been screwed up in past. yeah iOS RC2 is fine on iPhone. Did you forget the network and Re-add? If I do that it wants to wipe my fiber WiFi from all apple devices on the net because they are all connected in my home network?
