I had it with another beta. It will eventually go away by itself. Your phone is performing background tasks that could go on for a week. When it’s done it will go away. It’s normal and will improve performance of your phone.
Got a tip for us?

There is no benefit to Apple to release the final version earlier than expected. An RC release next week gives another week to find last minute bugs.
A lot of years the final release is a few builds newer than the RC release - meaning it’s better on the whole due to that week in between.
It's because whatsapp is partnering or sponsoring MBAMG Petronas F1 Team, it does apply for everyone using WhatsApp (https://www.mercedesamgf1.com/news/...ronas-f1-team-launch-exciting-new-partnership)
I‘d say it is a mediocre release. Still many painpoints and unfixed issues I reported that grind my gears and will be there when this hits public.
I use a.mac email address so wondering if that in conjunction with thr new iOS has made a difference. It's too coincidental to not have made a difference 😂
The RC will be released before the official release. And TBF, Devs have had a few months now to get their apps ready for iOS 18.
I’m able to reproduce this bug on my 15 Pro Max.
Edit: I force quit the photos app and restarted and can no longer reproduce the bug. I did manage to screen record and report it though before it went away.

Does visual look up work for anyone in photos? Mine completely stopped working the latest betas. I select a photo of a plant or a building (Eiffel tower) and the info button no longer has the stars symbol or identify what it is. Tried a lot of photos and none trigger visual lookup.
Visual look up works fine on my B8 devices. Also can‘t remember it ceasing to function in previous builds.
Also appears to be happening on my phone with Pr, Po, Ph as well as Pa still
Just started having random WiFi issue today…anyone else? It will show I’m connected but I can’t download or upload anything. When I switch networks it works again for several hours then happens again
I guess many popular apps such as the new Reeder (6.0?) or Wipr 2.0 are waiting for iOS 18 to launch.
I’ve just reset my network settings when this has happened on a beta, seems to be the fix.
The only way I can see this thread is to search for it, the 18.1 beta 3 thread is gone too, anyone else?
Nope, it’s still under
„STICKY THREADS” 5th from top, this thread is 1st.
TapaTalk again have problems ?
Doesn't that delete all your saved network passwords?
(Luckily, I've never had Wi-Fi issues so I've never had to do it so don't know.)
Bear in mind iOS18 now saves wifi passwords in the new passwords app and they can be exported (unfortunately one by one) to Notes before resetting network settings.
I have not tried it (not going to!) but they may even remain in the passwords app after resetting.
