Have a M2 Air and have a couple of bugs.

  • Notes doesn’t work and is frozen
  • Copy between devices doesn’t work either
  • Also, in Mail, I don’t have the Categories and can’t find any setting to enable it (iOS only???)

ChatGPT integration is not quite what I expected. First, there is no way I can find to have it read in Siri or ChatGPT's voice. It only seems to type out queries. Plus, it will only stay on the screen for just a few seconds and then disappears without any way I see to retrieve the info. I see you can Copy it, but with Notes not working and Copy between devices not working, this kind of limits this. Is Apple planning on a voice/read option, or are you required to use the app?

Siri is, of course, still just obtuse. I know the Siri update is still months away, but…….

Still waiting on Playground invite.
 
A little update. Notes and Copy/Paste across devices started working today.
 
For some reason I have really bad framerate issues since I updated to 18.2. I have rebooted and it doesn’t fix it, it’s intermitent sometimes I get the full framerate other times it feels choppy sub 60 hz/fps. Happens on the home screen or in apps.

This scenario is no more, but initially updating from what was shipped on IPad Mini 7’s to iPadOS 18.0.1 and then 18.2 beta failed for me. But if you update to the now released 18.1 and then to 18.2 beta the update runs OK.

I am using Numbers on my iPad mini 7 and all my other iOS / iPadOS devices. I have one spreadsheet that is password protected. All of my devices are set to open password protected files using Faceid / Touchid.

Uniquely to my Mini 7 this does not work properly. iPadOS accepts my touchid when I try to open the file but then additionally asks for the password every time and I can recreate this by setting passwords on other spreadsheets

However Pages on my Mini 7 handles password protected files correctly.
 
I've been troubleshooting a WiFi issue all day on my 2018 iPad Pro. Since updating to iPadOS 18.2 RC2, I've been losing all available connections at all. Unable to use Messages, any Browser, Mail, nothing.. Tried Resetting Network Settings and reinstalling from the downloaded .ipsw File. No dice.

I just now discovered that if I remove the cable connecting it to my 2020 Intel Mac mini, it gets right back online. Plug it back in and the Wireless drops entirely. I've been unable to find anything about this online, and am at my wits end.


:::EDIT:::

Whelp, not sure how this got enabled, and this alone.. But here we are.
...And problem solved.

:::EDIT 2:::

Well, I guess when THIS gets turned off, the Internet Sharing for ContentCaching takes over and continue to block my connection? At any rate, disabling this, and I'm all good once again. I hope. And hopefully this helps someone else.

I have an iPad Pro with Magic Keyboard and in Safari refreshing the website by pulling down on the touch pad does not work anymore.
 
1) Apple Devices app for Windows 11, when trying to perform a clean ipados installation my devices just froze just like when ios 18 was released (some people miss called it brickwalled). Solution? uninstall all those 3 new apps for windows and intall the old iTunes again, problem solved. I don't get why that app got an award on Microsoft Store being bugged.

2) After a clean ipad os installation the keyboard brokes, i cant type the @ or anything, only closing it and reopen it solves that bug.

3) I couldn't enter the stock widget options, it didn't responded. Only after creating more stock widges and deleted them one suddenly responded and i kept that.

App Library was already a mess of a feature, but now a whole bunch of Apple apps are in an 'other' folder?? Don't get me started on having a hidden folder present when there are no apps in it. This has to be one of the worst features across recent iOS/iPadOS?

Strangely, on my iPad Pro, out of the apps shown on that screen, only the Maps app is in my Other folder.
 
iPadOS 18 having an issue where the typing cursor goes in the middle of letters and lot the end. iPad 7th and 10th generation,
 
On the iPad Pro M4, I noticed these:
-Some unknown file(s) in iCloud Drive are causing a sync error to show up in the Files app. No troubleshooting seems to work. I can’t figure out which files they are.
-The Files app “forgets” all my favorites on the sidebar. I have to restart the iPad for it to “remember”.
-Safari freezes for a few seconds sometimes when I click another tab.
-Sometimes when I open the Passwords app, the face-id unlock ‘spams’ an authentication scan.
-The Notes app crashes after using the AI features sometimes. Especially proofreading.

Has anyone noticed any or all of these?
 
I've been unable to reliably use my keyboard and mouse between my MacBook Pro and iPad Pro (M2). It will sometimes connect, then work briefly and stop. It's super frustrating. I don't know if this is a bug with iPadOS or macOS.
 
iPad Pro 11", current gen, 18.2. All my email disappeared. Mail for accounts were de-selectected in settings, all messages gone, re-selecting mail for the accounts yields nothing.

[edit] updating to 18.2.1 fixed the issue, all email restored.

This bug happens to me on the iPhone 15 Pro Max and on the iPad Pro M4. It makes me desperate that such a powerful device does this.
