iOS 18.4 RC ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[Cinimod1000]

Anyone’s HomeKit cameras cutting out if viewed for a few minutes straight in iOS 18.4?
(Happening with both Logi Circle View cameras and a Reolink Doorbell through Scrypted.)

Same here. The Logi Circle View drops offline randomly.

I’m not sure if this is a Facebook or iPadOS 18.4RC issue but scrolling marketplace has cause resprings to occur in the last few days. They get logged as JetSamEvents.

I encountered the same problem. A pop up had showed in the background to update the required components.

What components did is say to install and where to get them?

and acknowledged by Apple - potential corrective action identified for coming OS update.

Hmm so perhaps a new build for the release next week.

Hey everyone, I'm having a strange issue with the Notification Center. When I click on a notification, the text appears black on black. I recorded a video so you can check it out.

Has anyone else experienced this issue? And is there a way to fix it?

Anyone else have weird issues when trying to reply to a text from the Lock Screen where the whole conversation slides down and covers up the last text? Why is this so sloppy?

Also, if I have my notifications set to "Count", then how come they pop up every time I tap my screen? Aren't they supposed to stay hidden unless I tap on the count?

I have been running the 18.4 betas and upgraded to the RC on Monday. My 16 Pro is still saying that it is downloading the AI software. I have had it on wifi while charging each day. I've restarted the phone a couple of times, and I turned off AI and turned it back on twice. Has anyone else run into this? It's been 3 full days now. 🤷🏽

Anyone else faces sudden shutdowns of the iPhone with the RC? Happens now twice. Both using Find My and all the sudden screen turns black and the phone reboots. Weird …

Yes this happens with Find My every time I follow someone for more than 5 seconds. Reported.

When listening to music either on YouTube or YouTube Music, using AirPods Pro 2, the sound will periodically fade out and back in.

So you're upset at Siri cuz chatGPT gave you wrong info?

Well Siri gave me no info and when it sent me to ChatGPT I got bogus info. My starting point was Siri so yeah I’m going to be upset with Siri.

Very odd how audible alerts for email are working for some and not for others. I am part of the “not working” group. The crazy thing is that I reported this back in September. They acknowledged the issue. Reported again with this latest RC build, and they continue to acknowledge the issue. This pertains to the stock mail app only.

Sound notifications don't work for me either, but... when I use AirPods, the sound of notifications about new e-mails works with 100% effectiveness

Turns out notifications were turned off completely for me, except for number badge indicating an email. I had to turn it all back on. One or two notification did somehow get through...

Woke up and my iPhone 16 Pro was super jittery and dropping frames left and right. A simple restart seems to have mainly fixed the issue (though not totally). Annoying.

No info better than wrong info in my opinion.

Same, I had to go into customize notifications and turn everything on in there. After that it’s been working as it should.

I was getting amazing battery life until today. Even while charging I’m losing battery %….I decided to update all apps but didn’t change anything. Nothing looks abnormal in the “ battery use” menu. Anyone else notice this?

Never had this. But it seems connected to this special app. Did you had this in notifications of any other app?

 

[ShaneSparkyYYZ]

The only issue I had with RC1 was worse battery life than B4. Will see how RC2 goes. Also, autocorrect was acting up but nothing new there 😅

 

[LutzRFrank]

RC2 out ...

 

[LutzRFrank]

at least a fully changed description for the RC2

 

[LutzRFrank]

No crash using FindMy so far. Even after extensive usage. Looks promising

 

[douglasb7]

Entire screens/pages disappear leaving only the home page and App Library. Apps are there, pages eventually come back. Frustrating. Reboot does not affect it. 15PM.

 

[Hedkandi]

Any noticeable battery drain?

Actually nothing much at all.
Finally getting emails on time and notifications.
