I just updated to 16.6 on my X (from 16.5) and only thing I noticed is my automations stopped working. I've turned them all off, restarted the phone and enabled them again to see if it corrects the issue.. Other than that, it performs normally with no battery or performance issues so far
Thank you very much, but, do you remember how it did behave back in iOS 15? That’s the comparison I’m interested in, because my iPhone 8 is still on 15.7
I noticed since updating my single automation that I had to switch into Airplane Mode when connecting to Wi-Fi at work has caused my battery draining so much, I had to delete the shortcuts app entirely.
Honestly I didn't see any difference in battery or performance between iOS15 and iOS16.. I had Apple replace the battery a year ago right before iOS16 dropped so not sure how much that helped.. Of course it's hard to say what type of experience you would have as you can't go back to 15.7 once you've updated so it's really your call
Hello. As many I am a little nervous before upgrading to 16.6. My faithful 11 is with 16.1 and is so trouble are that I'm amazed day after day. Your say no issues with 16.6 on your 11. Really? My case is one of "not broken then don't repair"...
I have to say the iPhone 11 I use works much better with 16.6 than 16.1.
However, the 11 I use is a company phone, enrolled by MDM. It was previously being used by another person.
I am very „OCD“ about iMessage attachments and clean them out once a week (not texts), basically photos and videos.
Every time I open a conversation and go into details, it claims „X Photos in iCloud“ but when I tap „Load“ it actually doesn’t do anything (no additional photos appear) and the button simply disappears
This has been happening since iCloud Messages was introduced years ago.
Also, often it shows no attachments for a conversation but when you check the conversation itself, there are clearly photos (in this example 7)
😭😭🙈😵💫

My battery is having severe drainage. I went to sleep last night with it at 92 percent and woke up with it a 65. Very unusual now. I usual charge every 2 days and that won't be the case
Did the Notifications get worse with IOS 16? I really do not like this set up, especially when you also might get notifications on the watch. For example, I get Podcast notifications, yet it feels like on some shows, I won't actually see that notification until a few hours later. I know Apple has always been bad with that format, but I really wish it was actually better.
Anybody with dual sim having connectivity problems? I have an iPhone 13 mini. FirstNet SIM card and T-Mobile eSIM. Since 16.6, my T-Mobile service has disconnected a few times. I have to reboot to get it back.
I keep watching the forum to see if a 16.7 beta comes out with a radio update.

Does anyone have this issue / bug.
The Find My Iphone and Icloud Backup Up in Apple ID/Device Info was missing.
Photo on the left was right after the update. Then after days using the phone, when I checked again, the Find My Iphone and Icloud Backup was already missing (Right photo). This issue/bug also happened on my Ipad.

No issues with my iPad Pro and iPhone 14 Pro.
Try to logout from your AppleID on your iPad or iPhone, restart and log back in.
Hi there,
Thanks for this. I've tried it and it works. Hopefully the issue will not come back.
The uptime on my iPhone 13 is currently 34d 22h.
Messages freezes sometimes and needs force-closing and re-loading, as does Safari.
Other than that, iOS 16.6 still seems quite snappy and smooth.

My phone stopped showing data usage for internet calls (FaceTime, WhatsApp). I used to be able to see it for specific call in KB or MB in phone app or FaceTime app but it's now is only showing duration of call, anyone else experience this issue?
