iOS 16.4 Beta 2 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[WildstarBR2020]

15.4 b2 brings 5G Stand Alone for 14 Pro Max, at least, for Brazil. Operators Vivo and TIM. Claro didn’t enable it yet.

I was thinking of enrolling in the beta so i can submit feedback about the notification centre stutter as well as the messages app reloading bug (if its still present) and was wondering if this was worth it? If enough users submit feedback about a bug will it get fixed eventually?

Yes! And yes it’s worth it.

Dual e-sim is working very nicely. Definitely getting better connection and speed.

You know when your on low power mode animations in safari, apps etc are reduced. Some videos doesn’t play. Amongst a whole other array of shut downs for your phone to save bat.

So your phone won’t be performing properly. At all.

Reason I say that is, it’s designed for when you hit red, to limp back to a charger… not really from 70%. Just a heads up. No biggie.

Thank you for the heads up!

The phone dropped to 10% last night so low power mode was activated. Overnight charging kicked in well.

Is that on the 5watt Apple charger?

Is that on the 5watt Apple charger?

Yes sir. I only 🔋 charge my iPhone using a classic 5W Apple charger. Nothing else!

I don’t know why but I love slow charging my iPhone. It makes me happy. Yeah, I know I’m weird.

I recently found my Apple 5w charger while doing some winter cleaning. Thought of you and your posts. I'm going to give it a try!

Hey, I can respect wanting to care for your battery. And you got a convert here.

Nice! It's the best thing ever. Also, charge it at night (before you go to bed or around that time) continuously for approximately 2 weeks. Optimized Charging will kick in and watch the battery percentage go up very slowly. Works like magic! It's pure satisfaction. 🧘‍♂️😌

Try going into Settings->Safari->Advanced->Experimental Features --> scroll to the bottom and select 'Reset All to Default' and see if that helps.
Can also check if the update turned on Private Relay. If so, try turning that off.

Thank you for this. I just hate messing around with Safari's internal settings. I wonder if it has to do with having active 500 Safari tabs open.

Apple seriously needs to consider offering 1000 Safari Tabs active with the upcoming iOS 17.

Not weird at all! The charger on my nightstand is a 5W. I figure, it has ALL NIGHT to charge, might as well charge slowly.

Meanwhile the one at my desk is a 30 watt PD charger, because if I have to charge there, it means I'm VERY LOW and need to GO and need to get as many Wh into the phone as possible.

So you haven't closed a single tab since 2016 😂

It’s much better. Update already lol

Updated last night. Hoping the b2 helps.
Have a visit to the nearest Apple Store scheduled for tomorrow to make sure it isn't hardware.

My friend I have online known you several years now. You are definitely not weird. Some day people are going to learn that fast changing the phone makes the battery last not as long.. Most of us don’t care. Because we are going to change out the phone quickly anyway. But there is nothing wrong with making it last as long as you can.

You don’t need to enroll in the beta program to do that. Simply follow the instructions below (taken from the first post of this thread):

I do use it myself if I am heading into, say, New York where the WiFi and cellular radios get lit up because of all the access points and I know I will not be able to charge for awhile. Push notifications are reduced and other things also, but worth it if you don’t want to run all the way down.

That's interesting. So it actually does make a discernible difference in your experience?

Reading @banglazed’s instructions for using the URL to post feedback, I wonder how we’ll be doing this once the profiles are gone?

Nice beta. Feels very solid and smooth on my 14 Pro Max. I’m happy I installed it - did so to gain access to the new ‘lock screen’ command within shortcuts.

Safari drama! Anyone came across this error?

This happened to me numerous times in B1.
I think I narrowed it down to 1 Blocker firewall setting. After turning it off and refreshing the page pops right up.
I think I heard that b2 fixes some VPN issues so hopefully that will do it. I’m about to load b2 right now and test it.

If you are on PB you can download Dev Beta without any Profile. Just choose Dev Beta in Beta Update Setting.

Does that work for Apple Watch also? To install the beta without profile?

How the hell do you have 500 open tabs? 😆😂

That is some serious OCD hoarding.

I’ve got 4.

I have a serious problem when it comes to deleting tabs or deleting anything. This is a normal day-to-day basis. 😑
