Everything New With iOS 16.1 Beta 2: Lock Screen Charging Indicator, Copy Paste Alert Fix, Battery Status Updates and More

[onlinespending]

I don’t have this issue at all and MagSafe duo with 14 PM. I do have an apple case on it; not sure that matters

Pro Max has more clearance between camera bumps and center of MagSafe. This is really an issue with the standard 14 Pro

I wish Apple let us change the color of the battery status to make it easier to see.

Biggest thing I hate about Apple after moving from Android after 12 yrs is the inability to fix problems the UX designers screwed up. Oh, and inability to allow apps to use their own custom sounds. I’ll stop there….

Not sure if I had this on 16 but 16.1 beta 2 this isn't happening for me, did need to enter my password but after restarting it used Face ID as normal and never asked for a password.

it does it over and over and over and over (energizer bunny)

I'm no hater - I'm a fanboy - but I LOVE how much effort it seems to take to get the battery indicator functioning in pretty much the same way it did with the original iPhone.

Someone at Apple has their thinking cap on, lately.

Why would you want it to ask you if you wanna paste something you just copied? The issue is this. I copied something from twister today and then I pasted it in google to search it.

The prompt appeared asking me If I wanted to allow safari to copy the information from twitter. Now why would it ask me that?

The info that I already copied shouldn’t be on twitter, it should be on my clipboard. So when I paste the info safari shouldn’t even know that I copied that from twitter.

It doesn’t work that way though. It gets rid of the middle man, aka the user (me) and it tries to access the app information.

Why would it do that?

The way it is settled up Apple can’t know when an app is requesting access or when the user is doing it.

Ah I gotcha, this will fix the issue when a user actively tries to paste information, then?

Some apps like Discord and Deliveries will automatically ping the clipboard without interaction on the users part, and I’m assuming this is will stay the same - Apple will still ask permission before giving the app that info, I hope?

It seems Apple doesn’t didn’t have a way to recognize when a user is pasting the info or when an app is trying to access the clipboard and look at the info by themselves

The very annoying copy paste issue is getting fixed! Good to see this.

 

[Paranormal_Way]

Please give me back the volume slider on the lock screen. Just an option to enable it again :/

Does anybody know what’s going on with iMessage and the iPhone 14 Pro Max? Since I got my new phone, iMessage is buggy. It sends as text messages instead of iMessage.

Also, the Mail app on iPhone isn’t marking my unread messages as read if I read them on a different device.

I would disable/enable your account in messages. Sounds like an issue transitioning to the new device.

I am not seeing this bug …

Weird.

I went into the Apple Store today and the associate (not a Genius) I talked to said it must be a bug because he would have told me to set it up the exact way I showed him how to replicate it.

Here are the steps I took to replicate the bug:

1. Open Settings
2. Open "Control Center" setting
3. Toggle "Show Home Controls" to off
4. Toggle "Show Home Controls" to on
6. Open Control Center, notice the light "control" is there
5. Close Control Center
6. Open Control Center again, notice the light "control" is no longer there

I have an iPhone 13 Pro Max with 512 GBs of memory running iOS 16 (20A362.)

Ah well that’s annoying! Thanks for clarifying. I hadn’t actually noticed but I will now lol

Safari likely doesn’t, but iOS does, of course.

Not an AAPL hater, but still firmly rooted in reality and I'm becoming more and more dumbfounded by what is being passed off as "new" and "innovative" by the largest, most well funded, most vertically integrated technology company the world has seen..

Well, if iOS didn’t have it before, it’s now on iPhone. Apple rarely, if ever, claims that something is new overall, when similar things exist elsewhere.

It seems Apple doesn’t didn’t have a way to recognize when a user is pasting the info or when an app is trying to access the clipboard and look at the info by themselves

I don’t think it’s that drastic. After all, it worked before. Just a small bug, most likely.

iPhone 13 Pro Max with IOS 16, Photos on iMac won’t import even previous images!!
Comes up with error message!!

Tried image capture......wont work either!

Was fine with IOS 15, hope they’ll address this issue, is no single case!! Very annoying!!

Glad to see the lock screen charging indicator and the updated battery status icon.

 

[afonsomduarte]

I wish they'd just make the DI charging notification on the 14 Pro permanent while the phone is charging and only changing when you enter the Home Screen. Alternatively when you tap the DI or something of the sort.

 

[madeirabhoy]

why cant it show the battery level when on the lock screen without waking it?

was just thinking this even before i saw the article. i can add the watch battery charging to the lock screen, but not my phone. when putting my phone on charge it would be really useful to be able to see the charge level without waking it.

 

[iLuzionsX]

Spoken like someone who hasn't been using it long. Even these issues aren't remotely approaching the pile of excrement that iOS 8 was.

Yes, this is also still beta… why are you using beta software and complaining about bugs.. yes iOS 16.0.1 is still buggy but in no way comparable to bugs in previous releases.

Has anything changed with the top-left swipe down from the Home Screen (or when in an app) to see your notifications?

So if you're on the Home Screen (or in an app) and swipe down from the top-left corner, does it show ALL your notifications (like it used to prior to iOS 16)? Or is the screen still empty with no indication that you need to swipe up to see your hidden notifications?

The notification view is gone, replaced by the Lock Screen. It has state - show notifications on the Lock Screen, they will be there when you swipe down from the Home Screen or in-app

This isn't entirely correct. The top-left/center swipe down actually showed the Lock Screen in previous versions of iOS too, but it also showed the Notification Center and ALL notifications. Honestly, I didn't even realize it was the Lock Screen in iOS 15 too until I went back to look on another device. I thought it was strictly just the Notification Center since it showed everything.

Here's an example of what I mean in iOS 16. Notice on my top-left swipe down, there are no notifications showing, nor is there anything indicating that I have notifications. I have to swipe up from the center (at the four-second mark) to see if there are any notifications.

All those apps are set to show on the Lock Screen and Notification Center. If you ignore notifications that were on the Lock Screen, they leave the Lock Screen and go into the Notification Center (nothing new here). Notifications that are delivered quietly also just go straight into the Notification Center (nothing new here either)...but the Notification Center is always hidden now. Only the Lock Screen notifications will display (if there are any) until they eventually disappear into the hidden Notification Center.

I know my son who is attending Baylor has not had any GPA improvement since updating his iPhone to 16.0.

I can confirm as a Baylor grad that iOS updates have not helped increase GPA.

LMAO

 

[billcod]

Nice to see folks experiencing their new phones, but it has now been over a week here, and Spectrum Mobile cannot connect mine (and others) to cellular. Lots of discussion, but no results. Stay tuned.

 

[lsebek]

The GPA post above was a typo. The question was whether the GPS issue has been fixed.

It was a lot funnier when it was GPA
