iOS 16.3 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[Kyriakosss4]

Hi,
After updating to 16.3, I get the annoying pop up notification whenever a focus mode turns on. Is there a way to remove this popup?

This is ridiculous

Mine did this in beta 2 but it cleared up with 16.3 RC. Who knows why.

No issues so far with iOS 16.3 on my iPhone 11.

After update to IOS 16.3 Whatsapp keeps crashing
After update to latest IOS 16.3 Whatsapp keeps crashing and need to reopen every 5 minutes. Any ideas how to resolve this problem ?

No issues with Whatsapp here.

Hard-reboot, then if still not working: offload/reload the app (settings / general / storage).

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.

Thank You!! The removing it and re-adding I believe worked. It’s calibrating as we type- thanks for the suggestion

We got a smooth operator here after dfu restore and set up from scratch.

Ah good they fixed the air pods case showing 0% in the widget. It’s the little things.

So obsessed with how my beloved original HomePod is sounding (and how responsive it’s been) with this software version. Easily my favorite aspect of any of these RCs, and iOS 16.3/macOS 13.2 have been excellent for me, so that’s saying something

I was more looking forward to the HomePod 16.3 release today than anything else. Whomp whomp.

iphone 13 pro max… since i updated to ios 16.2 my battery health hasn't stopped dropping... it was at 99% last month and now it's down to 94% on ios 16.3.

Same on 13 mini. Had been rock solid at 100% health before, throughout, and well after the iOS 16 testing period but more recently has begun dropping—currently at 97%

I'm disappointed, this has never happened before

I bought 13PM in March of last year, I already had 11PM and 12PM and I never had this amount of battery health drop in less than 1 year

I got my mini around the same time, when the green color came out. So I guess we’re in this together

That being said, the battery degradation on my iPhone 12 was notably more rapid.

Sounds good buddy, happy for you. Must of been something hanging over in your iCloud back up I reckon. Had a similar things a few years ago.

It’s worth taking the time with these things to get a nice performing device.

If you got the time, try doing your updates etc with the IPSW file, now you have a nice clean performing phone. Do it for a month and see the difference when using betas. Your call 👍🏼

I do mix off IPSW and OTA updates depending on my curiosity and patience level lol.

Going to keep it simple going forward and stick with IPSW.

No beta for me now until iOS 17.

Even though i say that every time but i always give in.

Must stay strong.

Cant turn on advanced data protection. A pop up window "something is wrong" appears. Live in Sweden.

I just turned it on a few minutes ago (Switzerland here, so almost Sweden I guess 😉). I would try to reboot all your devices and then try again.

Every time I had opened the booking.com App and go to the native Calendar App, Siri asks me to add the same "invite" (hotel stay) to the calendar again even though I have already added it multiple times and there is no change. Very annoying.

Are you using iCloud on any windows devices?

If yes, remove them first from your Apple ID settings on iPhone and then try.

No windows devices. Apple watch and iPad.

Same device. Stayed at 100% for a full year and in the past 4 months it has fallen to 93%.

 

[n1ghtrain]

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.

You don't need to put the device in DFU though.

Just hit Restore button, or Shift + Restore and choose the IPSW file.

After updating OTA for some reason my 13 PM forgot my company Wi-Fi when I got in the building. It's also draining a bit faster than usual, but I guess that's to be expected for the next few days. I usually would update directly using the IPSW file but wanted to give it a try and see if there was any difference in weirdness compared to using the full file every time.

has anyone been able to get homepod 16.3 or tvOS 16.3 yet?
