12.2 update ...
iPhone 8+: only seeing one change, negative: in Safari, if browsing images (Google) the swipe features will intermittently fail requiring killing in the task manager and relaunching. This does not occur if you request "Desktop Mode". Seeing the same issue on the IPP G2.
IPP 12.9 G2: Coming from a beta did a wipe and start fresh. Touchscreen issues pretty much disappeared. Still had the same issues with email, calendar, ... the same old bugs that have been around for a while. See my comment under the 8+ above for a new Safari issue.
Unfortunately the Touchscreen issues started coming back on Tuesday night so I went ahead and installed the 12.3 Beta. Issues are there also in 12.3.
Sigh.....

I usually update via iTunes and set it up as new, and then put everything manually on my iPhone. Never had a problem
When I get a text, between the IPP, 8+, and rMB, they all ding within a couple of seconds if at home (wifi).
With 12.1.x these dings can be minutes apart and the primary device (8+) may not be the first to ding.
With 12.2 is is worse.
Crazy.

I just did this and it’s the 2nd day as a fresh install. Battery is still horrible but I’ll give it another couple of days before I judge...
The weirdest flex by iOS I've ever seen.
I just launched Photos app and was presented with ZERO PHOTOS!
I'm using iCloud Photos and I immediately headed to iCloud and from there I could see that photos still take 53GB of storage, headed back to Photos app, then 1 appeared. A second later the number started to increase.
I have no idea what the hell was that and what caused that strange bug. iPhone's storage is fine, iCloud's too.

Do you own an Apple Watch?

Do you start fresh every time?I usually update via iTunes and set it up as new, and then put everything manually on my iPhone. Never had a problem

Sigh...it took Apple a while to fix this and now it’s back. This appears every time I use my Apple TV. It just says “connecting” and doesn’t go away.

I'm seeing a weird notification bug. I'll tap on a notification and it'll A. Open the app but not clear and become an untappable notification that must be swiped clear or B. Will just clear when tapped. Also, random capitals in typing
I don't see this as a bug. I used my phone to input an app password for my ATV today and then I proceeded to use the physical remote to start a movie. My phone kept showing what you're seeing, but you can easily get rid of it with a click: you tap the airplay icon (the blue one) and then scroll up to the tile representing your phone and select that.Sigh...it took Apple a while to fix this and now it’s back.

It's actually smart this way, you are linked to the last AirPlay device your phone interacted with.
when opening the apple tv remote from contol center, is it suppose to ask me to choose the apple tv on everytime (from the top of the app)? i have only one apple tv, and on everytime i open the apple tv remote from control center, i have to choose the apple tv at first before i can control it.
and after the latest ios, i have connecting issues with airpods. not always switching from watch to the phone or vice versa. also problem with making a call from the watch while airpods used for listening the music (from the watch) - after stopping to play music and making a call for someone the sound doesnt come to airpods - it doesnt go anywhere.
i already reconnected airpods several times with the phone. didnt fix it.

Give it a few days, it'll settle in

Yup, every single update I restore from scratch. Don't own an Apple Watch though.

Question, do you have background refresh enabled or anything like that (or set to Wi-Fi only). The biggest drain I have seen potentially is Siri and I figure that is because it is learning my location habits and such from a new device.
I don't, I have basically everything turned off since I don't use them all the time. I only turn location services when I want to use Google Maps for example.
I mean on standby and during use, battery life is worse...
I really miss iOS 10, never had a single issue, nor performance nor battery life.
The Now Playing widget in Control Center doesn't control iHeartRadio in iOS 12.2. No surprises that native apps (Music, Podcasts, iBooks, etc.) also work as expected. Is anyone else experiencing this issue? I finally got a Bluetooth head unit for my car and it was working great! Then I updated to 12.2 and boom. Only Apple native apps are showing on my display. Happens on my Apple Watch, too. Only native apps are showing in Now Playing.
iOS12.2 has been awful for me on the XS Max. I have never used any betas and started fresh with the XS Max on 12.0.1. Battery life has always been great - never needing to charge my phone before the end of the day. But since 12.2 my battery life is much worse but is also inconsistent. Some days its fine and other it isn't. I have had Garmin connect drain 30% of my battery in a couple of hours when I have not opened the app at all. So it was running in the background, something I thought iOS prevented. I have also had to stop using youtiube music as my phone gets hot to the touch and the battery life tanks. I have also experienced more general lags and jerks in the animations than on any previous version of iOS 12. I am tempted to try the next beta to get away from this but don't want to risk even more issues. Having said that, I couldn't be that much worse!
