Whose running this as a daily driver?

iPhone 13 here and using as DD. I always have a backup device if need be of course😊

Finally!

These are fun, but I’m still desperately waiting for the ability to add my own sound. Maybe WatchOS 18 will finally let my watch make the Mighty Morphin communicator sound.

I moved it up also and will file a feedback as well.

Edit: Feedback submitted.

I don't know if its screen time itself, or due to that specific section that lets you lock down certain things behind a passcode but on my side, i was using the later and it won't let me enter that part of the settings and just instant closes settings.
I did several reboots so far, no luck, so yeah. Would love for someone else to confirm, but that would mean they are screwed if the issue is widespread lol

I am experiencing the same. Wanted to remove some Screen Time restrictions that were set in iOS 17. If I choose Screen Time from Settings app then the app crashes every time on iPhone and iPad. I tried disabling Screen Time from the Mac but once I enter the passcode then it hangs. I have rebooted all three devices however issue persists. I have reported it to Apple via feedback. If you happen to resolve this then please post.

I am. Always do.

You moved the “apps” selection in settings up? How? Can’t seem to make it happen. iPhone 13

We were talking about “Send Later” in Messages.

Hope this is true.

Am I missing something here? My Ultra 2 has been tracking my sleep since I got it a few weeks ago, on watchOS 10.

I am... have been running first beta on my daily driver for many many years with no issues ever.

No need to set up a sleep schedule or sleep focus in watchOS 11 apparently.

And one more - autocorrect doesn’t work for the Bulgarian keyboard.

I did have a sleep schedule, but I’ve never set up any focus modes.

My current iOS17 Home using shortcuts. Will probably just do this on iOS 18 once Shortcuts & Widgy are confirmed as working.

How did you get rid of the widget label??

Pretty painful bug on my device.

I cannot disable "screen time" which I had for a very long time with a passcode to lock certain settings.

As soon as I click on "screen time" in the settings app, the app crashes.

So, i'm pretty much locked out of most important settings eh! submitted a report but just thought I would share this, better not turn this back on if you were using it as well.

Having the same problem and I have tried force restarting my phone and it’s still not working. It just force closes my settings when i try clicking screen time

Did anyone notice this on watchOS 11? Was this always here or did they bring it back??

How do you get this to work? I can’t figure it out

And one more - autocorrect doesn’t work for the Bulgarian keyboard.

To be fair, autocorrect has pretty much been a hot mess on every device since it was introduced...

 

[AZhappyjack]

How did you get rid of the widget label??

It's a function of the icon size. The smaller icons size has the labels... the larger icon size does not - probably because there isn't room for labels on the larger icon size.

 

[Camperniki]

I submitted that as a suggestion earlier today. For now, I moved it up in the list.

Not showing on my phone. Which phone do you have? Maybe it’s not offered on the XS?

 

[earthdog]

what is the send later functionality actually useful for?

I get up at 4:00am each day and I don't want to text anyone on my Team until 8:00. So I can start my work day queuing up text messages and respect their schedules but do my work at my convenience. So basically schedule a text to be sent at a later time.

Some people here seem to believe that both AI and Siri V2 will require the latest chips (A17Pro and M1) to work. If so, there will indeed be a lot of unhappy campers, myself included, and not just over the beta period. I mean I can use ChatGPT app just fine on my iPhone 15 now, so why should it suddenly become a problem with iOS 18? At least give us the could version, as it is now.

You’ll be able to continue using your ChatGPT app on your phone while on iOS18 as well; all of the new AI stuff - that Apple went through great lengths to describe - is pretty much done ON DEVICE in iOS 18 - that’s where the heavy lifting will be done, not sending out to the cloud like you currently do with ChatGPT. This is (presumably) why the more powerful chips are needed.

 

[redbeard331]

Broke my control center lol, stuck this way.

Thanks, I did figure that out eventually, lol

It’s ok, I made peace with all of this Apple Intelligence mumbo jumbo by now. 😉

 

[nortonandreev]

This view is new.

 

[Storm89610]

I have to say, whilst iOS 18 looks nice, I’m rather disappointed. There’s nothing cutting edge, nothing groundbreaking. It’s just the stuff Google have been doing for the past 10 years.

15 Pro Max. The preview page doesn’t mention that it’s specific to newer devices.
