iOS 18 Beta 1 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[john991]

how did you find top maps?...I dont see them at all

Seems to be US only. I’m in Canada and it doesn’t show up.

Looks like it’s the new “Analyzing scenes/Finding duplicates”.

On that note, my phone’s taking WAY longer to “optimize” everything. Like, at least twice as long as on old iOS. It’s still on the charger every night so nothing’s changed except for the new version.

Are your photos local? Not using iCloud Photos? I have over 5K photos in my library and haven't seen any hint of "optimizing" since upgrading to iOS 18.

Yea, that’s how I did it.

Would be nice to have it for driving, though I know that’s not the real purpose for that feature

I don’t see them on mine, though I’m in Northern Ireland, so guessing we don’t have it here yet.

Same! Whereas in iOS 17, my devices literally just kept “optimizing“ for months.

Idea- since the entire iPhone 16 lineup is going to have an action button, make the action button the camera shutter and the volume up and down buttons zoom.

Topographical data just appeared when I zoomed in. I didn’t have to change to any mode.

Actually looks like it appeared when I went into route creation mode.

Thanks. I have 21,008 photos/videos in iCloud but mine was a clean reinstall.

But that’s not a topographical map. It’s just a map with custom walking directions.

Yea you’re not gonna really see anything “topographical” on a Florida key lol.

I checked the mountains around here and set it to walking directions and they showed up, wasn’t aware you had to do that but they work.

Yes, I’m aware of that. 😁 I was just trying to see if I can create a route. Which I can’t.

Are we supposed to have topographical maps at this point or are they limited to the national park hiking trails?

Anyone else have transcribe in notes missing? Its just a blank space where the icon is that I see in peoples videos

Optimizing on mine finally went away and hour or so ago and I only have 66 photos and no iCloud Backup (turned off).
Whacked.

Only seeing it in National Parks.

Only seeing it in National Parks.

So I guess they are only partially sherlocking Alltrails!

Hello. Was anyone successful in getting the audioOS to appear in updating Homepods?

Nope. Tried rebooting and resetting no luck

 

[Storm89610]

Ok, so I’ve got 2 sims in the phone, one of which I’m waiting for the number to transfer on. You can’t get into the screen to change to number.

 

[Dave.Inwood1988]

what HomePods are you trying to update?

 

[greg624]

You can choose to sort photos by recently added by tapping the two arrows bottom left.

The Calendar and Reminders are integrated now. All my reminders show up in the Calendar app and sync automatically. It's really convenient to see everything in one place. Still need to use the Reminders app to add new tasks.

Still need to use the Reminders app to add new tasks.

When you press the New button you have the option to add an Event or a Reminder. Or do you mean something else?
