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

[pudge104]

Hard reboot?

Yes that works after about 10 times. Just wish I didn’t have to do it after every beta and official update.

Agreed, you shouldn't have to at all. Not sure what's up with that.

So is it safe to say the swipe up stutter is fixed?

The lock screen weather widget keeps going blank and fails to load unless I restart my phone.
Anyone else experiencing this?

No issues with Carrot Weather if you want to try that. I used it 100% now.

Can I download the ipsw for the developer beta if I’m a public beta user?

Not swipe up to force close apps in the multitasking view. Still stutters occasionally on my iPhone 14 Pro.

I keep getting a software update failed error when I try to update to Public Beta 16.2 v3 on my iPad Pro. Any thoughts?

 

[DNichter]

I haven't been on the beta train for .1 and .2, but a couple questions for the group - any issues/improvements around homekit and carplay? I would like to update to see if my carplay issues can be resolved, but I wanted to make sure there were no major bugs.

I saw that before. Try it again.

I’ve tried it 5+ times. Did a hard reset as well. Same error.

Try deleting the download image from your iPad, (under settings/general/storage. reboot and try again.

Something new
13 Promax

In games I am seeing intermittent frame drop or skips
Heckfire
FF9
CarX Rally

Not seeing it in basic games
MotherOfAllBattles
Freecell
Infinite TD

Going to do a bit more checking before I report.

This is a widespread bug affecting all kinds of devices. It was introduced in iOS 16, and people who game are raging over this. I even experience it in the Hit the Island game, however it’s only dropping frames when touch input is provided as long as I stop touching the display, the framedrops disappear. Is it the same in your case?

That must be the first time they release such a thing. Interestingly enough, you can remove it after having it installed. I don't see the sense of being able to remove/uninstall a security update.

Seems like a security update.

Safari was unresponsive after the update; I had to restart. All good now.

Offload the weather app; don't delete it. Then reinstall.

Yeah head scratcher that one. Why remove something that’s suppose to protect your phone.

For some reason I was thinking “rapid security response updates” were pushed automatically and that there was no option to force it immediately.

Probably there in case issues arrive with the security update.

Did that and I keep getting the same issue. This is on my friends 2022 12.9“ M2 iPad Pro…

Still not seeing it on my 14 PM... running 16.2 B3 but I do NOT have the beta profile installed. I have only been installing betas via ipsw's for a bit.

I have this option turned on... I wonder if It just installed on me but I don't see the option to remove it if it did.
