I'm having the same experience with Mail reminders. Up until the recent beta it worked fine for me, removing the messages from the inbox and placing them in the reminders mailbox. One of the reasons I was using Spark was for the snooze function and I was hoping the Mail app would eliminate the need to use Spark. Hopefully this issue is resolved in future betas. It seems to be a work in process.

Relatedly, are these supposed to work across all platforms or just on the device where they were initiated? Do most of my email work on my Mac but would like the reminders to also show up on my iPhone. Doesn’t do much good to be reminded on a device I don’t have on/with me.

The reminders do sync across devices but the same issue persists with them remaining in the inbox rather than only appearing in the Reminders mailbox. Tested on MacOS Ventura latest beta and iPhone 13 Pro Max running latest beta.

The uneven thickness of the lock screen battery widget is bothering me way more than it should 😅

Incredibly stable for a beta on my phone. I wouldn't say it has as many bugs as it does elements that are working but still in need of refinement.

Battery life definitely suffered for me on an iPhone 8, but only when I'm doing graphically intensive tasks (FaceTime, gaming, continuous video streaming, etc.). Regular usage battery life is at par with what it was before.

Strangely, and I can't substantiate this, but I swear that my charging speed is actually a tad bit faster after this update. Not sure how or why, but it is a good trade off for the lower battery life.

I've had 2 crashes since the release and both were during long FaceTime calls. The more violent of those crashes happened when I was attempting to initiate a SharePlay session to share my screen with the person. When I called the person back after restarting the device, I was able to SharePlay no problem.
 
Swiping down the Notification Center when unlocked is not showing the clock or widgets for me right now. Locking does show them. Probably go away with a restart but I like my wallpaper gallery soooo...

After you select “done” when customizing the lockscreen it takes you to the options for the Home Screen. One is a blur, two are algorithm-selected colors that Apple thinks will look nice and the last one is the photos button that allows you to select from camera roll or albums.

Why is nobody talking about the HAPTIC TOUCH for keyboard strokes now? It is by far my favorite new feature. LOL

The haptics are … lame.
Sorry, I am comparing them to my 1+. The iPhone kb haptic feels blah.
I turned it off.

What does a restart have to do with your wallpaper gallery?

The restart is likely to bring the clock and widgets back, thus obscuring my wallpaper

Only cosmetic bugs like the rain% being too big and colliding with the circle. Battery usage seems a little higher, but not critical enough for my usage.

Guess I've got a bug! Reminders are not syncing across my devices. I set a Reminder on my Mac just now. It duly appears in the Reminders mailbox (so I don't have that bug...). The Remind Me mailbox then appears in my iPhone mailbox but does not populate with the email I want to be reminded about (or anything else). I will report, probably on the iOS side, since that's where it's not happening. (Though I just set a reminder on my phone and it did not sync to my Mac, either).

Are you able to set reminders for sent email on the Mac? I have the menu option but its greyed out. I can do so, however, on both the iPad and iPhone.
 
I much prefer Carrot Weather, over Apple's default app. However, the widget just doesn't seem to freshen up with current data until I tap it and go back out. Apple's weather widget updates immediately the moment I move to the page I have the widget on

Is this what you guys experience as well? Non-Apple weather app widgets don't refresh, while Apple's weather app always stays up-to-date? I don't see a setting to prioritize certain widgets..
 
Appears to be a new beta out. It says beta 3 but I’ve confirmed it’s a new build number on iPad. iPadOS 16.0 (20A5312j) up from 20A5312g.

Perhaps public beta on the way soon and will match this version?

Anyone - why does the Notifications screen when pulled down show the lockscreen time / widgets and not just the Notifications?
Why is it just a photocopy of the lockscreen was when you went to the Home screen?
Seems kind of useless .....

I’d wait for next beta. Suddenly with this one I’m experiencing my signal cut out randomly and searching again even though I’m outside. Happens every few minutes now and causes drop calls. From what I’m seeing I might be the only having these issues here. I use eSIM on T-Mobile.

Things get warm more easily too and slow downs occasionally. So I’d wait for another beta.

No clue if this is just a me issue or a beta issue.

I noticed for the past couple of weeks that incoming CALLER ID stopped working on my Verizon line. I did a few test calls today and none of them show incoming CALLER ID name (just the number). I also tried calling my T-Mobile number (both lines are on my iPhone 13 PM) and it also no longer shows name.

I tested calling one of my other non iOS 16 devices and they identify incoming calls (one also has Verizon and TM, same setup as my device) and both lines identify incoming calls.

I've poked all around settings and can't find anything that could be preventing it from working (and I though it was all network side anyhow).

Anyone else having issues with incoming CALLER ID not displaying the name of the caller?
