iOS 16 Beta 8 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[dk001]

Any chance you have a focus mode enabled and your caller was not on the allow list?

Good thought. Just checked and I don’t. They are also in my Favorites list for calls.

13 ProMax.
Had this happen again - originally occurred in beta 7.

Someone called me and the call went straight to VM. They are in my contacts and while it showed up in VM, Recents showed nothing. They tried calling back and same issue. My Spam app - Hiya - showed the call.
They then called me on my other phone and no issue - OnePlus 9 Pro.

I just did a Reset Network Settings and while this potentially helped last time - issue seemed to go away, I am hoping it helps this time too.

Feedback reported.

I had this happen to me on a 15.6 beta for a full beta cycle, then it resolved with the next beta drop.

How’s the battery life going in the latest beta?

It is good. Not quite as good as I have seen but even with it being a beta the overall life is great.

Speaking for my iPad Pro on 16.1 took it off the charger yesterday at 7am checked some emails, did some browsing, sent a few messages and then put it away. Came back last night at 8:30pm and battery was still 100%. Battery life is fantastic.

This is fun. Phone is cold as a cucumber, was listening to Spotify whilst going for a walk to the park with Pearlet.

How Many days Are there usually between the RCs of XX.0 iOS and the september event?

How many days before the public release?

Apparently thats from entering the wrong passcode 6 times in a row. Maybe you were pocket-dialing your passcode 😄

Oh really. Never had this before. I thought iOS 16 would be advanced enough to not pocket dial any more 😂

I’d watch Pearlet more closely if I were you… 🧐

Anyone know where "Offload Unused Apps" has gone ?

Anyone know where "Offload Unused Apps" has gone ?

Settings, General, iPhone Storage (under Recommendations on mine)

(And maybe elsewhere too)

Open Settings, type "offload" into the searchbar at the top.

Open Settings, type "offload" into the searchbar at the top.

So that’s what that’s for.

Yep, tried that and it doesn’t appear

It seems you did that already.

Go check in Settings > App Store
scroll down to the bottom, there you find the switch.

Lots of discussion about this over at this thread:. https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/ios-16-speculation-thread.2339171/

Go down and read the last 15-20 posts for the latest thinking.

Can’t believe weather still differs from iOS 15 this late in the beta train.

Weather has been beyond crazy with iOS16.
Widget and app disagree on both my 13 ProMax and iPad Pro 11 AND the devices disagree with each other.
Talk about wacked.

13PM
app - Current 75F w/ High of 84F and Low of 68F
wid - Current 75F w/ High of 82F and Low of 68F
iPad Pro 11
app - Current 73F w/ High of 84F and Low of 68F
wid - Current 72F w/ High of 80F and Low of 66F

oh, and btw, my AW7 not on beta says Current 75F w/ High 82F and Low of 68F

If they are all pulling from the same data, why such variance?

It’s only a beta 💁‍♀️ Don’t sweat it! There’s still plenty of time to…oh, that’s right, never mind

The only thing that matters is if it’s still incorrect after public release.

Will iOS 16 be released the day of the Apple event on Wednesday, Friday, or on the following week? Anyone know?

You’ll find all sorts of thoughts on this topics at the following thread. Bottom line: lots of theories but no one really knows except Apple.
