Settings really needs a serious redo.
Some parts are very well done while others generate a WTF!?!

It all started when they moved Auto-Brightness….

Thanks for the hint.
I don't remember anymore because the last beta i used was ios 14.
BUT!
I tought it was better with ipsw, but i will follow your hint.

If you can get it and know how use it, I’d go IPSW over OTA any day of the week and twice on Sundays.

Public Betas are the same build numbers as the correspondng Developer Beta, however to my understanding the IPSW for the Beta is only officially supported with a developer account.

Thank you ⭐️

Roll on iOS 17

Think of the Apple OS’es as likely having super cycles.

For iOS, the first cycle was just getting it off the ground. The second cycle was the post-Forstall redesign and the introduction of the continuity features. We are now in the midst of the Widget-Focus-Shortcuts Automation cycle (which has probably been dragged out at least a year longer than intended due to the pandemic).

I realize that this is an oversimplification but I think the direction is correct.

So this year we’re getting the refinement of focus mode. Perhaps next year ot by mid-decade we may see a refreshing of the UI overall, much like MacOS Is in the midst of now.

Anyone else having positioning working in the background almost constantly? I see the icon by the clock almost all the time. I removes the lockscreen widgets that uses positioning but it’s still working in the background.

Reported to Apple

Didn’t someone about 50 posts above have this issue? I think @adrianlondon had the fix. Search the thread for “SIM” and that username and I think you’ll find it.

Sorry, I've been travelling.

I don't have dual sims of any kind so it wouldn't have been me.

Who’s had success with personalised spatial audio. Been trying for 1 hour, done about 30 times but it fails to scan the left half of the bars on my left ear. It’s a joke. Right ear takes literally 5 seconds

I figured out (I think)why sometimes my notification alerts come thru silently rather than audibly as I have it set. Bluetooth is trying to pair with my car in the garage even tho its (the car sound system)not on. If I turn off bluetooth on the phone, no more issue.

Siri is completely not working for me using English (US)

 

[adrianlondon]

That was a dead end I'm afraid. Even started to look through all of @adrianlondon messages as a last hope - God that was boring 😜

I thought you were my friend. I'm going to tell everyone to do an OTA install, as I always do.

Spotted a typo: OTA IPSW

You’ll have to excuse her, she’s not quite ready to come back to the office just yet

any idea when a public beta will be out?

Probably end of the week

I was hoping PB2 would be out today...seem to be a lot of small things to be fixed relatively quickly/easily. Perhaps wishful thinking...

Nice big thread for this: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/ios-16-speculation-thread.2339171/


P.S. A public beta has been out since last Monday. Beta.apple.com.

thanks but my simple question was already answered.

Your welcome.

Ask the question in the appropriate location next time. And i don’t think your question was truly answered as there is already a public beta.

Hi all, is there a fundamental difference between a public profile and a developer profile? besides the fact that the first one is free of charge and comes out a little later?

 

[contacos]

Not sure if it is related to my AdBlocker but sometimes Safari gets like stuck on a page, like it doesn’t load the video and when I try to reload the page or a different tab, it’s not loading anything anymore. I need to completely close safari for it to start loading pages again

Zero difference given the criteria you listed...a beta is a beta once you get to the public ones.

Pressed the button and installed the beta today.

I usually wait until much later on.

Can’t say I noticed any issues - my banking (Nationwide UK) app takes a little longer to load, that’s it I think.

Shame you can’t have depth effects and widgets together on the wallpapers.
