iOS 16.2 Beta 3 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[kaisoj]

Stutter is gone in Safari. Still experiencing stutter in the App Library though..

 

[StumpyBloke]

Sort of. The bug is if you have a scheduled alarm and wait for it to go off, the alarm widget wouldn't automatically update to the next alarm time. Instead would just show no alarm time.
If you change the alarm time without the alarm going off, the widget will track the changed alarm time until it went off by itself.

Thanks for checking and hope this made sense.

No it doesn't fix it. Wouldn't surprise me if this is another bug that makes it through to full public release.

Never saw this before. Notification Center shows blank app notification. New bug, at least for me.

I've had that since iOS 15 and it was never really fixed...

The AOD changes are welcome however the way they have implemented the "SHow Notifications" is either bugged or terrible. If you turn this off you simply receive blank notification panels that wake the phone screen every time they arrive when the screen should just remain silent and dark.

Does someone know when usually the public beta is released after the dev beta?

Next day and same day as public release gets closer.

Can someone please confirm if the volume controls during calls bug has been fixed in this beta

Appears some animations are either dropping frames or aren’t 120hz. I especially see this in Notification Center when I swipe left to clear a notification.

Testing this and it’s 100% reproducible for me clearing notifications by swiping left to clear them. It’s a “choppy” animation if you will.

Anyone else notice this?

On. I appreciate the extra time I get to see the pictures I choose to use as wallpaper.

I personally noticed that my Battery life has been snappy and alarm widget is lasting for a day at least.

Same.

Works for me on the iPhone 14 Pro Max.

This was fixed for me in beta 2 and continues to work in beta 3.

Didn’t work on beta 2. How about now?

Will try, but my iPhone does not find the b3 update yet.

Grr, the dropped frame is still there for the App Library (which I never use because this is an iPhone).

Which model iphone?can someone check with this beta on 13Pro max

Thats not good. Ive been loosing 0% overnight on 16.2 beta 1.

1.5% battery loss overnight is not good? I usually keep my phone on the charger overnight, but occasionally when I forget, I usually have 1-2% loss by the morning. That never made me worried. Should I be?

 

[Deep_Thought]

Does anyone have an issue where a contact's photo disappears from messages, showing only the initials, but when you go into the message thread it shows? Had this on previous versions as well - not sure if it was just me?

 

[Bobout]

I’m seeing the same thing.

Care to share the wallpaper?

I didn’t see it being shared , I have the wallpaper also here you go ..

 

[GoldenChild]

I hope they give option to light up only notifications in b&w or something rather than lighting up whole screen to show notifications. Technically it’s possible for apple to integrate this

Sure!

So I know it’s early, and there is still some indexing, but not real impressed with battery life. Definitely seemed better on beta 2. Seems Apple can’t fix something without breaking another. Glad though the shutters have been figured out.

iOS / iPadOS backup to macOS bug is still there. People are going to lose data.

source?

For me I usually do a few hard resets and the second day start seeing battery life being much better. I don’t usually expect great battery life on betas but its a plus when it happens 🤞🏼
