It happened to me and my husband a few months ago ( I’m still on iOS15 , too chicken to do betas ). I believed it was the new alert system in France that was testing. 🤷🏻♀️
Got a tip for us?

I still don’t have the option to select a photo from my camera roll or astrology, they just disappeared after I did a fresh install 🤷🏽♂️ today suggested photos finally appeared but options like dynamic wallpaper of animals, nature etc r also missing.
The only thing I can choose is „emojis“ or „weather“
Reported it

Hmmmm. What is your app store location? Mine is the US
Maybe the update is location-specific at the moment 🤔
UK so explains it. Current UK version still not working.

App Store was down in Finland too for a few minutes.
In my opinion battery life has been really good.

You used to slide to pin contacts in messages. I thought they took it out last beta. Was this like this in the previous beta with the long press?
Reset my iPhone just to start over fresh and see if it would fix a few very minor issues I was having and in Safari settings all of my favorites options have disappeared. Very strange. 🤔
my battery is awesome - better than ever . 7 hs screen time and 4 on lock - never saw that before - ip12Pro
Thanks, some good info. Don’t know how android devs do it then as their widgets can be set to various refresh intervals. I’ll be the first to admit I don’t know it all😂
It’s not just the weather either, I use google calendar widget onscreen and when I make a change it won’t show up for quite awhile. I don’t tout one OS over another as I believe they both bring good things to the table but geezes if android can do it why can’t apple?

It seems the weathers I keep on the Home Screen have trouble refreshing in a timely manner. More often than not anyway. The two weathers I keep on the left screen or widget page don’t refresh till I either open them or just open that page and wait for awhile. Quicker to open them😂
Haven’t tried the ones you mention.
Yes every screenshot I can read it fine, but not on my 13PM in real life
I had some major issues with Safari bookmarks syncing when I updated this last time. They wiped and then when I tried to get them back by reloading them all on my MacBook they all appeared on my iPhone as totally blank favorites. Every time I did this they would duplicate too and none of them would delete no matter if I tried on my iPhone or Mac. Seemed like the sync state was very confused.
I fixed it after a few rounds of these steps:
1. In Safari on your Mac, export your bookmarks to an HTML file (File > Export is the path I believe)
2. In iCloud settings on your iPhone, turn off the Safari option for "Apps using iCloud" and choose to delete data
3. In Safari on your Mac, edit your bookmarks and delete them all
4. Wait a few minutes to see if they come back; you may need to delete them a few times
5. In iCloud settings on your Mac, turn off the Safari option in a similar manner you did for your iPhone
6. I completely closed Safari on my Mac and iPhone at this point, waited a few minutes, and then opened them again
7. Make sure both devices still have no bookmarks in Safari
8. In Safari on your Mac, import your bookmarks from the HTML file and then move them into your desired location
9. In iCloud settings on your Mac, turn back on the Safari option and wait a few minutes to see if they stay correct
10. In iCloud settings on your iPhone, turn back on the Safari option for "Apps using iCloud" and choose to merge
11. Hopefully your bookmarks reappear on your iPhone and now sync properly again
I had to do the "turn off, delete, import, turn on" cycle twice before everything worked. I see you have an iPad also so you may need to include that device in the steps when turning the option off and on for Safari in iCloud; I'd just turn the option off on the iPad at the same time as the iPhone, but wait to turn it back on until your Mac and iPhone are syncing.

Hey guys, I still haven’t turned on Private Relay yet, as it’s still in beta, but, how is it these days this far into 16? Still buggy?

After 3 days, one respring is the only issue I've had so far. Loving it other than checking notifications when unlocked is convoluted when you have notifications hidden, but is what it is.
I haven’t a problem at all even though it’s in beta. It’s been working great.
Gave it a couple days to adjust before trying a 12hr batt. test on my 13P iOS 16 PB3. Seems solid so far.
Since day 1 I’ve always long press to pin a message contact. Never really used the slide to pin feature. When I did I’d over do it and delete message lol
I’ve been a huge fan of it but it seems to have gotten buggier lately. Very slow to the point of being non-functional at times. Had to turn it off.
