iOS 15 Suffering From Several Bugs as Adoption Rises to Nearly 20%

I dont think anyone notices, but when the build number have 3 digits after the letter, the update is bad. look at ios 10-15
Is there even a point to the Beta program. They release 8-10 betas between WWDC and when it goes out to the public and it sounds like it's still really buggy. It makes me wonder why there is even a Beta program to begin with, and if they even listen to feedback.
How can you have an less new features than IOS 15? There's nothing here. Nadda. Oooh, I can see shared with me photos from my message in the Photo.... wait, no I cannot. Because one of the bugs I'm having is that this feature doesn't work. Copy text from an image? Yeah, been around for a decade.... welcome to 2010 Apple.
Fine with me. Child molesters, terrorists and antivaxers all need to be identified.
Though pretty sure that 1984 was not the story of a phone company.
Not quite true. Once you have at least 30 matches (sometimes it requires more), then apple has a sufficient percentage of the necessary cryptographic key material so they can look at extremely low-res versions of the images, to confirm that they match the criminal material. They never actually review your images.
Long overdue. iOS 13 and 14 were already so full of bugs. To me it appears that not too many new bugs have been added in iOS 15. None of the bugs I have encountered in iOS 13 and 14 have ever been fixed. It appears to me that Apple doesn't care about the user experience anymore.
Can you elaborate? I have encountered the odd bug here and there, obvious in almost every piece of software or OS. None have managed to piss me off enough to your viewpoint though. I just wondered what’s so bad to enable you to make that claim? There are 5 main “mainstream” OS’, Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS/iPadOS and Android- all of which have pretty major bugs if you look at it like that. Is it just Apple you attribute these claims to?
I have a long list of things that don't (always) work. Here are some examples (none of them new with iOS 15):
- Automatic updates only started working with iOS/iPadOS 14.5 (introduced with iOS 13). I know it worked for many, but not for anyone in my household. The updates would be announced, but would never be installed overnight. Since iOS/iPadOS 14.5, it's hit and miss. It may take a week after the announcement before the update is actually installed. Still better than never at all.
- iPadOS: zoom in on a picture in the Photos app, and switch to a different app. When you go back to the Photos app, you can't zoom to other areas of the image near the sides. You have to go to a different picture and back before the entire picture is available again.
- Unlock with Apple Watch works about 80% of the time. Unlock with Apple Watch does occasionally work when I am not even looking at my iPhone.
- Having AirPods switch automatically between devices has never worked for me. The automatic switching happened only once (from my iPhone to my MacBook) in the middle of a phone call on my iPhone, when I was looking up something in a note on my MacBook.
- Connecting my AirPods used to be instant before iOS 14. I could insert an AirPod in my ear to pick up incoming calls. I'm not sure when this started, but it takes anywhere between 2 and 30 seconds to connect the AirPods now. Sometimes they don't connect at all.
- I have set a default playlist for workouts. This playlist is supposed to start when I start a workout, but only when I am not listening to another playlist. After one of the iOS 14 updates, the watch started my default workout playlist regardless of whether I was already listening to a playlist or not. As of iOS 14.6 or 14.7, the default workout playlist is ignored completely.
None of these are dealbreakers, but all of them are annoying for me. Some of these are features that Apple announced proudly, yet that never worked well for me.
Thanks for the update. Most of these are not applicable to me, I don’t have a watch, use AirPods or have Apple Music or workouts. This is ecosystem stuff over OS stuff I would say, not that they aren’t valid, but they aren’t relevent to everyone. Valid points though- I hope you have reported them.
The zooming issue in iPad photos I have never either noticed or come across. I’ll look. Perhaps it’s just not rela to my workflow. Seems annoying though.
Never had issues with automatic updates, though I heard others have.
My problems are: ipados weird changing of orientation messing with my ocd and muscle memory (don’t think it’s a bug per se though). Spell check getting worse. Files widget constantly changing back to recents over what I have chosen. Can’t think of other at this time
Yeah I'm sorry for that. Everybody can ignore my post I don't want to fight. I just couldn't fight the urge to say it because it's so relevant to this day and age in all aspects of our life.
You are absolutely right. The issues I listed will not affect many. I did report all of them, and many others. Apple has never responded, so I do not know if the issues have made it to the backlog.
I recognize the problems you mention, although they do not get in my way with my workflow.
I'm trying to record videos from websites i freelance for and i get a black image then the video appears 10 seconds into the start, on an iPad using edge, safari won't play the videos.
what i am doing is sending videos to our programer of how several of our clients websites go to the wrong link.
this project works perfect on a laptop and a while ago using iOSX14.
not that i need a solution or comment, just hopefully might read this.

Tap the three dots on top and move the composition window to the side or slideover. Problem solved.

I'm very happy that iOS 14 was pretty good for you. It has been pretty good for many. Most of the annoying problems I have encountered have to do with having multiple Apple devices (iPhone, Apple Watch, AirPods, MacBook Pro). Features that should work across the devices behave erratically (for me). See my other post with examples of things that don't work well.
i experienced a serious security bug yesterday, went to call someone and there was no answer phone said call was cancelled, I put phone down, went to do something, heard a voice saying hello hello, picked up phone it was rhe person I called, nondial screen green clock or anything was active to show call was happening, I was unable to end the call, the other person had to end it, if they hadnt told me they coukd have listened to my phone all day I would never had known, this phone will be my last this company is a shadow of its former self, I dont trust Apple and I dont trust facetime

Do you have any insight into how Apple is developing its software? If so, please share - I'd be super interested
It’s an industry-wide issue. All top corporations rely on contractors to cut costs. Without fail quality suffers as a result.
IT contracting firms have little interest in quality. They focus on getting jobs done as quickly and efficiently as possible, within the minimum requirements of each project.
