I believe they cannot ship anything with iOS 16 APIs. But I don’t think that stops them from fixing compatibility issues that are not API-dependent. If that were not the case, none of the banking apps that didn’t work under the iOS 15.0 beta would have worked until iOS 15 was released publicly. That clearly was not the case.

Exactly this. You’re right about the APIs, Apple won’t accept any updates submitted using them, I think until the RC is released as that’s when the APIs are considered as RC too. Then Apple let those updates come out in the day or so before public release is iOS 16.

Devs fixing things that are not using the new APIs in the beta can, and does happen, but they’re not obligated to do so. Also, they do not state that fix in the release notes, just generic statement about fixes.

I hear ya, but I love how discrete they are and when you need them, swipe up.

Sometimes the screen got so full my brain would hurt trying to search for what was important. And it would feel a bit stressful. Stupid brain, needs an update, been stuck on 1.0 for years 😜

I decided to block most notifications, we simply don't need them and they were taken up too much of the lock screen

Definitely. As much as it's been refined over the years, the screen still always ends up being a blur of mess. I much prefer just having the most recent there, and then if I really want to see the rest I can venture into the unknown lol. That's definitely the best part about it.

I didnt mean a forced reboot, but turn your phone off completely, and keep it off a few minutes and then turn it back on and then charge it to 100% to wipe the battery usage history.

I did, and it didn't work. It always keeps running in the background. I uninstalled it and so far everything is fine.
 
Just tried Continuity Camera (using the iPhone as a webcam for your Mac) in a work meeting. It worked quite well, besides trying to balance the iPad using the Macbook lid and a wall, but Center Stage was absent, it didn't work at all.

Next time I have a zoom meeting, I'm tempted to send the video via Airplay to my TV (I don't have any other external monitor) and somehow Heath Robinson my phone to the top of the telly.
 
A nearby iPhone appears as a microphone input on nearby macs too (on the macOS beta). I'm not aware of this in Monterey.
 
Anyone else using the detailed Earth background? It seems to to tied to US timezone even though I'm in the UK, so current, early afternoon, everything is dark.. Last night was all lit up in the sun

Agreed. Having small hands…I love the change to put a lot of this stuff towards the bottom of the screen, but muscle memory is still kicking in 😂

is there any option just to get the small message at the bottom "+3 new notifications" instead of the cards?

IP12PM here and keyboard and other new doodads come up when I use it…but usually driving when I use it so haven’t really had a chance to see how the new features work.

It’s truly amazing. I’ve been thinking for years that obviously interrogative sentences (generally those beginning with who, what, when, why, how or did/does) could have a question mark automatically inserted at the end. This does better than that, inserting periods at obvious full stops (thinking of you, @StumpyBloke!) I haven’t tried commas.

If this really works well, I’ll have to retrain myself not to say punctuation, which I have found myself doing even when leaving voicemail messages. 🫢

Yes there is, just select Count. It will show it in between the Torch and Camera icons.

Thanks for the thoughtful and helpful reply. It’s still occurring, I went to four other locations today with different wifi systems, a google mesh, a Comcast unit, AT&T and a buddy that has an asus wifi… I brought 3 devices with me and it fails on every one of them on all these wifi locations. The work wifi is a enterprise wifi system and it too had issues.

Last night I reset all 3 homepods and none of them will connect to wifi and no way to force it, so all 3 are broken now. The appleTV drops wifi everytime it goes to sleep, the ipad and iPhones drops wifi a few times a day… never reconnect. Once I connect everything works perfectly. So the issue is purely auto-join.

I am thinking it has something to do with wifi and private relay as I always disabled that and now the setting is gone so I can’t enable/disable and that may be why nothing auto-joins Known wifi.

on the ORBI which is the only one I can change router settings on, I tried renaming the wifi, I turned off bit-defender security built into the wifi, turned off nat filtering, gave one device a static IP, and made sure no peer-2-peer blockers on. Oh and I tried flipping from WPA2 to WPA3. ORBI also has seperate guest network, which is open and it won’t auto-connect to that.

it’s amazing I have 100% issues and everyone else is working fine and googling it appears I’m all alone here with the wifi issue… so strange.

I’m having a lot of issues on WiFi as well. You are not alone.
