iOS 15 RC ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[avmsam]

Sleep Focus is gone for me on the watch. It was there in early iOS 15 betas but went away. Still not seeing it in RC. Anyone else ?

basically the watch would go into sleep mode when the iPhone did too. Was convenient.

Can you guys open the Music section I’m Settings? Whenever I click on it, takes a minute to open and then freezes.

If you read a couple of pages earlier, you see I and a couple of others have the same problem.
Strange that this works for some, and crash for others.

It still freezes for me when trying to access the Music settings, or when trying to access Audio Quality settings from within the Apple Music app.

Anyone with a fix, or know why it behaves differently on several different devices?

I use a "plain" 12 with 128gb.

The music settings are broken for me too on an iPhone 12 Pro Max. Installed the RC over 14.8 using the Public Beta profile.

Trying to access the music settings either just freezes the settings app, or for me this morning completely locked my phone reading a reset.

No issues like this on 12 Pro. When I updated OTA and when I flashed using ipsw and didn't restore backup. Both times this was OK.

With regards to the Music section in Settings not loading/loading but then freezing.

I had this on both my iPhone and iPad. Since I had ~100GB of lossless music downloaded, I thought that was the culprit, but alas, deleting the music made no difference.

I suspect something corrupted the music database, since deleting the itunes_control folder with iMazing fixed the issue.

Thanks.
Did the same just now, deleted the itunes_control folder, and now Music settings work. 🙂
It's syncing the library now, hopefully everything works as it should when it's finished.

At the moment the all in one Office app is working but the individual apps are broken with the crashing on launch bug

That's why the public release comes out a week later, so that devs can update their apps. I am sure we will see many many updates by the end of this week. Thankfully, for me, none of the apps crash.

This is odd on iPadOS15 on my 2018 iPad Pro The music app settings work perfectly, this has had the iPadOS 15 since beta 1. On my 12 Pro Max updating from 14.8 - 15RC the music settings crash and this is with the same library too.

Yep. People report that this problem is specific to people who upgraded from 14.8 to 15.0 RC

Annoyingly deleting the App and reinstalling it doesn’t fix the issue either.

I think deleting system apps does nothing other than removing the shortcut.

Yeah thats most likely what it did although It did remove the settings menu entry too, but when i reinstalled it the settings were still broken. Oh well I’m sure they’ll fix it with a 15.0.1 update day 1 of iPhone 13 Launch.

Looking at all these bugs, I feel the build release next Monday would be newer than this.

This build has already been put on the phones that are shipping next week so there can‘t be an updated build release. There cannot be two versions of iOS 15.0. Any new update would have to be 15.0.1 or later.

Just noticed that Safari cloud tabs are not showing up on any other device now. It worked one way (iPad on iPhone) before RC but now completely useless. This update is an abortion…Wi-Fi disconnects, app crashes, music settings crashing, Bluetooth disconnects, safari tabs, dictation issues, no visual lookup. Apple have really outdone themselves this time (in my experience).

There’s sometimes RC 2

Multitasking still broken. If you have any app on swipe out from either side, then open the app by itself, it removes it from multitasking.

Example:
Open Safari and place messages as the slide out multitasking app.
Swipe up and return to the desktop.
Open Messages.
Go back to the desktop.
Return to Safari and try to swipe messages out… Gone.

Beta 8 sounded way more stable… WTF!

 

[DMG35]

I’m surprised to see this many issues with a release candidate (Well not THAT surprised). I really hope this isn’t the final version Apple is planning on releasing as it sounds like its not even close to being ready.

What mail App issues you are facing ?

The Total Unread does not match the totals of the Unread in the accounts.
Setting for “Fetch New Data” isn’t working like it is supposed to.
Deleting email on one device does not always trigger an update on a linked device.

How can the iCloud backup get corrupted? On Apple’s side or during your upload? Can this still happen nowadays?

Not often but it still happens.

Strange how many significant bugs are present for many, but not others.

Installed yest afternoon. Got several “Software Update Failed” messages before it finally worked (maybe b/c I scrolled through all 5 pages of the NEW SOFTWARE TERMS). Downloaded as fast as expected for 6.08GB over WiFi. Preparing took loooong time.

I too have storage remaining bug (292GB remain on my 256GB) but that’s it. I tried messing with Music settings and found not problems here, nor the settings app in general. Music shows 6+GB downloaded, but Storage shows only 2… Haven’t found other problems.

Also, I have modem ver 3.00.00, while first post says it’s 2.something.
