Early upgrade from 16e to a 16 Pro this week. Had to update the 16 Pro to 18.6 before I could transfer data across.

Running great same as on the 16e & no bugs to give Apple any feedback.

Thought we’d have had the next beta by now, maybe next week?

Dark mode works for me perfectly on my 16 pro.

Beta is running flawlessly with good battery life. Get about 5-6 hours screen on usage before I hit 50%

This is the issue I am having, delete and install of FaceBook app sorts it but it comes back at some point

To update on my earlier posts in this thread.

Safari iCloud Tabs seem to be working well today.

After a day’s worth of use, my other issues that came with the iOS 18.4 update certainly seem to have been fixed:
  1. Smoothness is back when expanding notifications.
  2. No Mail notifications are now going directly to Notification Centre.
  3. Played podcasts have been automatically deleted after a day.
SMS and iMessage have been in sync across my iPhone and iPad. (That appears to have become an issue in 18.5 from what I read in the 18.5 thread.)

If this is going to be the final iOS 18 point release (other than security updates), it seems like it’s going to be a good one.

I'm on 18.5 and my notification expansion is working fine now. No idea when that started but it really bothered me on 18.4 and I could've sworn that it was still broken on 18.5 but I tried it again recently and it's working now.

Do the notifications still sort of stop and then bump down a few pixels after because that's annoying.

They had been doing that minor ‘stop and bump’ at the end of the animation on this beta, but a stack of banking transaction notifications I’d accrued on my trip away yesterday into today hadn’t, it was smooth at the end of the animation too. I’ll keep an eye on any further notification stacks I may get in the days ahead and update you.

Yeah my animations have been super smooth on notification stacks on 18.5. It used to skip almost the entire animation but it doesn't anymore for some reason. Sounds like 18.6 is the same.

Today there was the ‘bump’ at the end of the animation. At least it’s much improved from 18.4 (I skipped 18.5).
