I came here just for this. I am an Uber driver. So you could only imagine how this is driving me nuts right now. Please someone come up with a fix.
16.1 it got me out here looking like it's my first day driving a car 🤦🏾♂️
I’m going to be restoring back to 16.0.1 in an hour or so, but my man, I would not update a device to beta if your job depends on the device! I know easier said than done and all, haha.
The crazy thing is. I was on beta on my 13 pro max. I didn't think I would be on beta would transferring to this one. I promise you I didn't even realize 16.1 was a beta 🤦🏾♂️
It’s been a while since I went backwards. Are you restoring and setting up as new?
Update: NVM. DIDNT FIX IT
Guys go into the apps specific settings from settings menu and turn off precise location. This seems to do the trick for me

Apps would let you use them without precise location. Well most of em. Waze definitely won't let you use it.
Restored my 14PM back to iOS 16.0.1. Set up as new, and I can confirm the issue was resolved.
Can't restore my backup from 16.1b1, so unfortunately I must go back to 16.1b1 for the time being. Will report if the issue returns once it's done setting back up.

Back on iOS 16.1b1 now, and the issue has come back. So, that answers that. Please submit reports via Feedback so hopefully this can get sorted by b2 or b3.
It’s definitely an iOS 16.1 specific issue. I have an iPhone 14 Pro and a Pro Max. Had the Pro Max on 16.0.1 without issue, same with 14 Pro on 16.0.1. Updated the 14 Pro to 16.1 beta and immediately began having issues. Downgraded and issues resolved. I have already submitted feedback regarding the issue in detail.
Everyone experiencing this, make sure you report in the beta Feedback app. The more reports the more likely Apple fixes this ASAP.
I drive uber eats/grubhub/Lyft and I cannot get a good lock on my 14 pro max with 16.1. I have tried everything from ear asking the entire phone and starting it again as new, resetting network settings, hard-rebooting, soft-rebooting, erasing the eSim And starting new…. I even called Apple because I wanted to see if they had heard about the issue. Apple just said to restart it as new and try that. Not getting anywhere. 13 pro max still works great with 16.1.
