iOS 16.3 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[Phreddyl]

Probably asking the obvious here, but have you tried restarting the HomePod, or resetting it? I know some people have stated they needed to do that.

Thanks- I rebooted it several times. I guess I can reset it- appreciate the input.

Is the bug not allowing to change the volume while the phone is on the ear fixed? I know they fixed it for iPhone 14s in 16.2, any news for older models?

It's fixed on my iPhone Pro 12.

When I uncheck Home and check it back on it says it configurating Home again . Wouldn't that be enough ?

Hopefully, I'm not too late to ask. Did you guys notice a difference in Haptic Keyboard?

I was hoping today was going to have an updated build with a fix for the notification centre stuttering but I guess its not that important

13 ProMax - still very poor. Light enough that I turned it off.

I quite like it. And anyway, any stronger and everyone will be moaning about how it drains battery.

It’s all a balance people 🧘🏼‍♂️

So glad that this beta is the same as the release as it’s the best, most stable version with great battery life on my iPhone 13PM and iPad 11Pro (2018).

Is it same build as RC?

Going to dfu restore and set up as new. Banking apps will be pain in the back side to set up but im going for it.

I hope the 16.3 fixes the issue with restore purchase in lots of apps people seem to be having issues with 16

Do you think this can improve the screen for those of us who suffer PWM sensitivity and other types of screen sensitivity?

Not long ago, I experienced something that could well be a proof that updates can actually change screen behavior. I had an iPad Pro with a pretty heavy smearing, and just updating from 16.1 to 16.2 fixed it.

This is ridiculous

Not a huge surprise - but the release version of 16.3 hasn't addressed the Screen Time regression documented here

here's hoping for 16.4...

I bet you are like me and can’t wait for June so we can get the iOS 17 beta. Maybe they can do a better job with that one. Sorry about your island, it is really bad when your island is stupid!!

So very true. I like the haptic feedback on my OnePlus and have gotten used to it. For me excluding a couple of past betas, the keyboard haptic on my 13PM has been way light.

Preference driven.

In regards to Advanced Data Protection, I heard it is also giving users grief who use iTunes on Windows. Hopefully the new replacement apps will come out of beta soon to address that issue.

I turned mine on. I had iCloud Photostream on before and it just disappeared. I can't remember if it warned me or not, but I was looking for my photo stream the other day, and it was just gone.

It's Greek to me.

My scenes and automations have been all messed up. The wrong playlists play when I arrive home, or play in just one of the rooms instead of everywhere, Siri tells me things like the Apple TV are taking a while to respond meanwhile they’re actually working fine. It’s just been a really poor experience. I obviously reported it to Apple.

Sorry to hear. Mine was also a bit funny at first. I rebooted both the Wifi and the AppleTV (hub) and things resolved themselves.

I cannot confirm as I don't use the app but probably you need to wait for an app update for WhatsApp.

Try offloading the app and then reinstall.

Don’t delete it because you’ll lose the data. Basically this just reinstalls the app keeping all your data.
