[Radon87000]

I haven't tried betas before but this being RC does it mean it's the same build rolling out next week?

Usually, yes

 

[ibookemo]

iCloud Advanced Data Protection now available in the UK.

It showed up in Ireland with this RC too. Happy days.

Working now in The Netherlands as well.

 

[Reeneman]

[mregeling]

Yes

 

[Edelheid]

I have the HomePod mini updated and now have a temperature icon.

Does it show an actual reading too? I updated one of my HomePod mini first to try it out, but don’t see the icon yet. Apple says it needs to calibrate before it’s displayed so maybe that’s why. I’ll continue to monitor mine just in case.

Update: It turns out my iPhone just needed to be on iOS 16.3 RC for it to show up. Same goes for the iPad.

Did they fix the bug on the battery widgets where air pods case shows 0%?

Usually yes. It has happened that there has popped up a RC2 if they find an unexpected bug that has to be fixed

So games are still stuttering whenever touching the screen on iPhone 14 Pro Max.

Updated and restarted both iPhone and watch and this screen is still displaying in the watch app 🫣 Seems like it’s just cosmetic, though—everything is still working normally and I can check for updates as usual on the watch itself. Though if it does persist I may try re-pairing the watch later on.

Also side-note but I realized while typing this on my 13 mini how much I love this build’s tuning of the keyboard’s haptic feedback

System Services location indicator is still popping off, it seems 😒

Find My borked?

Same 🥲

 

[Reeneman]

Installed but feedback app is still there.

 

[sorgo †]

Installed but feedback app is still there.

Do you have a profile installed?

 

[Mlrollin91]

Installed but feedback app is still there.

Feedback app is usually tied to the profile in the RC. Delete the profile and restart your phone - the app should disappear.

 

[Reeneman]

Ok the missing restart so far will be the reason then.

It wasn't mentioned in the notes. I can only assume that this bug is still not fixed in 16.3. Hopefully by the time it goes public it will be better but I doubt it. Probably need to wait for a future update to actually fix this issue. It is a pitty honestly. I had major batt drains from it on 16.2 before I rolled back to 16.1.2.

This is probably not noticed and not really important feature, but nevertheless. Now 16.3 allows you to customize the wallpaper, that you are updated with from iOS 15

 

[kaisoj]

Climate works with the HP Mini now.

For sure, I don’t feel good about it either honestly. I’ve resorted to just turning off the indicator for System Services for now.

Software Update screen in the watch app has finally gone back to normal.
