I used to report every single bug I found. Apple would get back to me, sometimes it was a dupe of another bug, sometimes they'd ask for more info and I'd provide.

I helped Apple debug a DNS issue a few years ago.

Then, at some point, they just stopped answering bug reports. I take the time to send them with all the necessary information, and... I never hear back anymore. The bugs don't get fixed.

So I've mostly given up bug reporting, except for more egregious serious bugs. And even those.. not a single response back.

So, if someone from Apple is reading this... have some more respect for your beta testers that submit issues. Respond and acknowledge them at least. The silence just makes me not want to bother.
Sadly this is my experience too. I filed dozens of carefully written bug reports but received two replies “latest update may fix your problem” but they really didn’t apply?

I’m having an issue where AppStore is prompting for a password instead of using FaceID when downloading or purchasing. I’ve tried toggling off/on the AppStore within faceId settings but issue persists. Anyone else? Bug?
 
This finally fixed the unable to communicate with Apple Watch error and touch not being detected issues on my 13 pro.

Considering you are doing their job for them, for free, that is appalling. It's not like they are a start-up.

I gave up beta testing for Apple a couple years ago. I provided lots of bug reports with step by step instruction to reproduce, as well as screenshots & screen recordings etc... They never responded to bug reports even when serious. Many of these bugs remain in the public release and even in subsequent years.
 
Did they finally make the full screen on the iPad available again? My new iPad mini is restricted to 7” screen with the icons stuck in the middle, spacing all out of whack, Widgets not usable. No problem on the mini 5 and 14,8. But there is no way to get 14,8 on the new mini 6
 
I have the same issue. Whenever I type a first letter the spotlight flickers/crashes and the screen re-loads. Can’t use search at all on 15.1PB2. (iPh12). I did file a “Feedback” for Apple via the Feedback app. Hope they can process it.

So, shockingly, I did get an email from Apple yesterday saying that the bug I reported in regards to the email filtering issue resulted in software changes in the latest update that have resolved this issue, and to file a new feedback report if the issue has not been resolved.

Updated to the newest 15.1 release and the bug was fixed!
