I don't see it yet. IP11

OTA Live

 

[mjschabow]

Should be interesting to see if Batter for the 14 Pro series has been addressed at all

 

[gwang73]

IPSW now available.

209 MB on my iPhone XR, 352 MB on my 14 Pro.

I'm really hoping this fixes my iMessage in the Cloud syncing issue. Deleting messages on my phone does not delete on my iPad or Macs, and vice versa - deleting off of those devices do not delete from my phone.

Edit: Nope, not resolved. Looks like message in the Cloud on iOS 16 does not see iOS 15 and macOS 12.

I had that issue and also missing messages after signing into iCloud. I got it fixed by turning off Messages and turning it back on to resync them in iCloud

Sadly signing out, signing back in, toggling in the cloud and all of those troubleshooting steps have not resolved this problem. Its annoying but not the end of the world. If it still happens once iPadOS 16 and Ventura drop, then I think its an issue with my account and not so much a bug.

 

[IslesFan]

Wonder if the CarPlay issue on 14's is resolved.

 

[Ctg44]

Hoping to find out if the camera issues damaged the hardware or not like some reports are saying.

Still can’t delete Cupertino and New York from the weather app.

My other devices still aren’t showing up under Screen Time either. Grr.

AT&T got a carrier update to 51.0.2, up from 51.0.1
Wiki updated and also added firmware for 14 Pro

I just noticed that I have the same issue - deleted an SMS message on my iPad and it deleted on all my non iOS 16 devices...did not delete on my iPhone 14 on iOS 16....may be a bug...

 

[ViperTaj]

Glad that annoying copy/paste message is gone

 

[SnyG]

Does this mean I can use my camera without worrying now? Haven’t had any issues at all but I’ve been concerned by what I’ve seen.

Anyone know yet if this update fixes the weird issue with Siri where it may cut out when speaking that started with 16.0. This was mostly apparent in both Siri Shortcuts with automation that spoke with Siri voice 4. Additionally, using GPS navigation when Siri would speak the next step, would cut out really bad there too.

Just downloaded 16.0.2...

1. When you launch the stock camera app and click on 2x, does the picture "shake" outside of the crop area? Not sure if this is normal or a defect with my unit.

2. When I launch the camera on Instagram there is an audible click followed by a constant hissing sound. Doesn't happen in the stock camera app. Is this normal?

I have not updated but going from any lense to 2x on 16.0.1 does not result with any shaking on my device. I would have to report back post 16.0.2 update.

As far as the other thing, I think it is normal to hear an audible click from what I read but I am not sure about a hissing. Some have said that if you put the lens to your ear, there may be a slight buzz, which is normal but hissing I am unsure about myself.

 

[Reeneman]

Installed on my 13 Pro
I had to accept updated terms and condition before applying the update. Does this happen before on smaller point releases?

I can reproduce 2.
I guess it‘s an issue with Instagram cause no other App has that (tried a few like WhatsApp).

I can repro #1. Turn off "View outside the frame" in the Camera settings and it goes away (since it doesn't show that area anymore). That's a good one, file feedback on that one

1. That is a nope. Mine works just fine.

 

[Samdh90]

Just an update, I am now seeing the slight shake outside of the frame on top but within the frame, it is just fine. Did not see that on 16.0.1. Additionally, I can see it on 3x as well as I believe 1x(Not as easy to tell)

Feedback submitted.

I can help you with the weather issue as I had this too. Easy work around.

Simply, manually add another location in the weather app. The other two locations should then disappear like magic, then you can delete the one you added manually. All set! 👍
