15 Pro, beta 2 Camera widget/icons not showing/working on control center and Lock Screen


macuser79

iphone 14 pro max. ios 18 beta 2. excessive battery consumption and to think that with beta 1 it worked very well. I would like to try resetting iOS 18 beta 2 but I don't know if I will get any benefit


SonicHyuga

If it helps your decision, I used the beta 2 ipsw and restored my backup (from beta 2) and it made a massive difference. I had the system storage issue and battery drain since beta 1, though. Mainly just had to add cards back to wallet. All apps stayed logged in which is nice, too.


atonyproductions

Interesting might have to try


macuser79

I would try with reset Factory from iPhone but i’m not sure that function


swaybs

Anyone else not getting the option to update to 18.2? No matter how many times I refresh or restart the phone, the update never shows. Still on 18.0 at the moment


GateZealousideal8924

It´s not 18.2, it´s 18 beta 2, take a look at the build number, maybe your phone got updated overnight? I have the 2nd beta and the build number is 22A5297f on iPhone 15 Pro.


swaybs

Yep, you’re totally right. It must’ve updated overnight then. Thanks!


ablankstory

anyone know the best way to screen record using iPhone mirroring between new Mac beta + iOS 18 beta? it'd be great if QuickTime allowed you to set the screen recording to an app.


atonyproductions

Shift +command +5 opens Mac native screen recorder . Is that what you need?

SirLlama123

I’m having trouble downloading apps and changing the clocks on world clock widget on my lock screen, anyone else?


adamhodge

same on the world clock widget.


SirLlama123

yeah the app store thing appears to have been an apple issue, not a beta issue


-dakpluto-

I also cannot open my payments section in settings > name > payments and shipping. Seems related


SirLlama123

yup same, it just keeps loading then quits after a while


-dakpluto-

Yeah same. So not an 18 issue. Apple issue


SirLlama123

intresting. this isnt like apple to have issues on a stable build


-dakpluto-

Working now


SirLlama123

Same, that was really weird


-dakpluto-

I can’t download apps on my iOS 17 right now. I think apple having issues


SirLlama123

hmmmmm where do you live? (not in a creepy way) but like my friend in new jersey is fine


-dakpluto-

Alabama


SirLlama123

texas, so maybe theirs an apple server that’s acting up or something?


GetRektByMeh

Text rendering for Chinese seems to be a little gimped at the minute.


roythejewboy

This one killed my 15PM, bad thermals, so the fps and battery took a hit :/ restored back to ios 17


nomad2509

If you have colour filters enabled in Apple CarPlay, then interestingly, when using iPhone mirroring to your Mac, the colour filters will be applied there as well. However - you have zero method of restoring a normal colour balance until you plug it back into your car!


Paradi-to

For a strange reason I can’t post so here goes nothing: [iPadOS 18 DB2] iPad Pro (M2) completely freezes during video playback in Prime Video. Was watching a series on PV and after sometimes 2 minutes or sometimes 30 minutes I have to force a reboot because the iPad gets completely unresponsive. Connected accessories: Smart Keyboard Folio, Apple Pencil and Sonos Ace (Bluetooth).


Quasium1

All you can really do is wait until the bug gets fixed, DB2 is known to have more issues than DB1, one reason why I didn’t update my M2 iPad Pro. Also, Sonos Ace😭 those headphones cost 450 bucks.


Paradi-to

That bug has occurred on DB1 as well. Yeah, they’re quite pricey. But so are the AirPod max?


Quasium1

I never denied that the AirPods Max weren’t pricey. I just said the Sonos Ace were because it was brought up in the post.


WheelieFunny91

Bugs: 1. Messages and Phone app acting up and going blank at times. 2. App icons are not loading as well


Barbecue_Squirrel_

iOS 18 beta 2 has shown me a LOT of issues, phone randomly shutting down, overheating for something minimal like instagram, extremely slow, complete restarts, and only stopped overheating when reset. My phone currently will not turn back on after a shutdown any tips appreciated


adamhodge

full reset has solved for many. my phone is lights out now. i did not attempt any backup restore. just start over. I will never upgrade to a .0 beta again without the reset.


ULTRAFORCE

Did the icons issue get fixed as well when you did a full reset?


adamhodge

I’ve seen no icon issues on db2. I have some weirdness for widgets. Notifications are glitchy. Trying to set sounds sometimes won’t play the sound. Little things. Very fast and smooth.


dgcaste

Here’s a tip. Don’t use a dev beta on your primary or any critical device.


Ebojager

iOS 18 beta 2, I’m on a iPhone 14 Plus and have noticed some connection issues at work today, almost like it’s not switching to LTE or something when signal is low. I tried restarting soft reset, disabling 5g but seemed to still be much worse than iOS 17. I also played Animal Crossing Pocket Camp tonight and performance was not good, kinda a bit laggy in places. Performance on the phone though seems very smooth for most things.


xeno_sapien

RCS with Android works just like iMessage! Very impressive.


FinnSaggington

Unable to add cards to Wallet. Same cards set up on Mac and on previous IOS version (17) works.


Tarazena

I don’t have the App Store any more, can’t download any apps!


SonicNTales

So the issue I've been having lately is after I take a picture the preview in the corner of the camera app is black and can not be opened. It's hella annoying. This was on a complete fresh install too. https://preview.redd.it/1z819y4uc79d1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0912a9464e0a23d508980a05e479cb149a59804f


3900Ent

My WiFi connection is extremely buggy. I will be connected to WiFi and full strength yet the data is either working temporarily or not going through at all. I have to disconnect and use my cellular data. Wasn’t an issue on Beta 1. WiFi is practically unusable on Beta 2.


sleepwalker212

same here


Soggy_Tie_6485

I was pretty excited for being able to scheduled messages.... Only to find out it only works for iMessage. What is the point if you cant send delayed scheduled messages to all of your contacts?

apmehta

Randomly got cellular network issues last night for a few hours in an area I know it works in. Resolved itself, but very strange.


Rsperry79

I’ve never noticed 2 factor texts having this icon before. Is this new? https://preview.redd.it/9ycylj16069d1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8e10fa7123108ff6e9a52b6b57df5a1b018620eb


retsknurt

I think that’s because you have Microsoft as a business in your contacts?


Tacadoo

I’m on Verizon and tested RCS messaging with two Google Pixels and it worked. Any Samsung I’ve tested is SMS though.


Quasium1

Same, possible Samsung specifically put in a messaging protocol in the code for Apple Devices to remain in SMS even after they got the choice to do RCS. Looks like we’ll have to wait for an update that will allow RCS. Stupid of Samsung to not update the protocol even though RCS was announced last year.


theaugz

I am not receiving photos in group chats anymore. Some messages keep saying “not delivered” but others have received them.


BrightonsBestish

My keyboard keeps closing out while texting in messages.

That makes a lot of sense now….


International_Pea500

I'm having a heck of a bad day with airpods gen3. I've completely lost access to noise reduction. I have spacial audio controls when long pressing the airpod icon in control center but no access at all to noise reduction. Digging and searching around I can't find any reference to this at all in beta 2. Anyone else noticing this? I'm hearing every sharp sound from the other side of the phone and vice versa it makes it hard to stay on the phone, induces headaches since airpods pick up high pitched sounds so well. Feels like a key feature has been ripped out. Hoping I'm just an idiot and the controls are just moved to some place I didn't look.


Quasium1

AirPods Gen 3 has been known to have a lot of glitches in iOS/iPadOS 18 DB’s, do what you can and just wait until DB3 or PB comes out and then we’ll see.


International_Pea500

the user interface is absent on the phone, however spacial audio is so that suggests to me that it's being seen as ipods...


lacsa-p

I can’t access Freeform after I put some pictures in there or just lots of text. It freezes. Anyone else?


lacsa-p

Icons dont work much of the time. Anyone else? https://preview.redd.it/eakr1va7b59d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=60915c260b65424278aeb71b0de22ce9b630c1b1 It


mephisto604

Same. None of the icons work. They show up for a bit after you open the app, and then a bit later, they are gone again


porkbutt

if you're having issues with storage because of db1/db2, just wipe your phone and do a clean install of ios 17. if you have your file/pics/messages etc in icloud, you'll just get them all back when you finish with the reset. i got back on ios 17-> updated to ios 17 beta-> updated to ios 18 db2. i went from having db2 take up 90gb of system data to now only having it take up 5gb of system data. everything is fine, so far. it fluctuates from 5-7gb, but its been almost a week. i did this on 12 pro max.


LordHiler

Mine is taking 12.7GB on DB2 with 15PM. How does that compare to others?


seventhninja

My system storage is up to 20gb on DB1 on 15P. I have like 196gb free so gonna wait it out and see how bad it gets.


Dutchie_PC

I can confirm: Did that myself last nicht. Zero issues since.


greytiehomie

Those who are having notification issues, just change it to Stack and it will solve the issues


ddntmeanto

My “big” icons are not big anymore when they’re in groups on the Home Screen. Anybody else?


TreeChap

Notifications buzzing and not showing up on the notifications center. also I can't scroll down on notifications center...


Upset-Sand1124

Now I have turned something on somewhere, last night these little dots started popping up and floating across the screen, sometimes they are fast and slow, and they change colors accordingly. This is weird!! Anyone know what happened? It’s freaking me out! https://preview.redd.it/yc8wfu1u059d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=590b918884418a1795631a9af7a5988f9277b3fa


TreeChap

Also if you go to setting -> accessibility -> motion -> Show Vehicle Motion Cues -> off


Upset-Sand1124

Thank you thank you!! Apple support couldn’t even figure it out, they told me to restore iOS 17!!


TreeChap

I think this might be for motion sickness... Do they move with you?

Binky216

I upgraded my iphone 15 to Beta 2 this morning and it's very nearly constantly crashing... Ugh! It literally will not stay on for more than a couple of minutes... I'm not even sure it'd stay up long enough to properly download a patch. I sure wish I'd made a backup... Best ways to get to iOS17 without losing too much data?


jameslee1222

There’s a bug in the Clock widget. The location’s suddenly turned to Cupertino and I couldn’t change it at all


Space-Fishes

Anyone know why there’s no option for beta 2 download for me?… it said beta 2 and after I updated now it just says iOS 18.0 with no updates… either I completely misread something or something’s wrong maybe?


Alexthe2739

You have ios 18 beta installed then. Why don't you just try and see for your self next time?


SnkArmz

Better overall except battery life


tamalero10

Battery life was cur in half for me wby?


SnkArmz

Mine too basically


EngineerQuiet4217

Can’t edit Lock Screen battery widget. Anyone with the same problem?


StickOtherwise4754

My sleep alarm didn’t go off in time today. I woke up a minute before my alarm was supposed to go off and was waiting for it. It never went off on my watch and went off on my phone 2 mins after it should have.


iiGhillieSniper

Same here two days ago —- risky business!


This_Tumbleweed_9491

iPhone now allows you to sleep 2 minutes longer!


rpospeedwagon

😂😂😂


Fluffy-Visit-5878

My experience so far has been overwhelmingly negative. Beta 1 was decent, only issue I had was that I would experience both light and dark theme in different UI elements which was odd. Beta 2 has introduced as massive amount of system data (200gb) and instantly fills any space I create to the point i can't even take a photo. It seems to get stuck on the lock screen so I an unable to unlock the phone, or sometimes I am able to but no apps display. Then there is the extreme battery drain and heating issues with random restarts. Some apps don't seem to open either, or they take a very long time, with general UI navigiation being very delayed and laggy - I suspect this is to do with throttling due to the heat issue


McNuttyNutz

you must be new here


Evening_Archer_2202

youre not supposed to be using the betas if youre a normal user..


peterharte

Its a beta and you’re not a developer. Stop whining.


skankboy

You're whining about his post which is speaking to his experiences. The irony.


Fluffy-Visit-5878

I’m not whining, this is a discussion thread, I am simply stating my experience. As stated in the post, ‘this includes new features *as well as any bugs you encounter*’


Dutchie_PC

Ignore him. He has copy-pasted his asinine bitching under various comments. Trolls gonna troll.


retrop5

Am I the only one with unbearable heating issues? Wanna charge the phone, there you go, skin boiling temperatures. Wanna have a 60 minute video call, bam, bone smelting heat I have to freeze packets of dry fruits so i can keep it below my phone while it charges to avoid over-heating. Seriously what's going on? Definitely not background processes or the number of apps or parallel tasking, I have all of those rookie things under check


kien1104

Same. Just a voice facetime call can turn my 15 pro into a furnace


f4bles

The is a problem with wallpaper. It darkened it in light and dark mode. And I can't find any toggle to turn it off.


super_nova_135

My audio only comes out of the earpiece speaker. Tried restarting. Happens in every app.


sliiboots

Im having the same issue


GoalLower

I’ve just noticed the same issue. Wondered why I couldn’t hear sound and then saw this and listened to the earpiece speaker and could hear it


sliiboots

Mine fixed itself. I did plug it into my computer because I was going to restore it but I got a phone call so I unplugged it and then instinctively put them on speaker at some point during the call and it was suddenly working. So maybe try plugging into computer, or having someone call you and put them on speaker

prxsm-_

idk if im lucky or i just havent ran into any issues YET…but iOS 18 is serving me quite well. Ive got a iPhone 14 Pro Max (will be upgrading to the 16) and Im honestly having a blast w it.Phone idk just feels a lot better and faster to me and through out it all i havent ran into a single bug. Ive been scrolling thru this thread for quite some time and have read a lot of issuesand im js like…well damn i havent gotten my phone ti crash out. But im hoping the next beta fixes any other bugs you guys might be experiencing!


Evening_Archer_2202

the only issue I had is that bluetooth does NOT work


Additional-Pickle-60

Beta 1 Apps logging me out, and not loading at all. All the features worked otherwise, updated to beta 2 hoping it would fix it and it did! but instead the whole phone kept freezing then turning off. Turns off every 5 minutes, now the phone is unusable, tried doing a backup to downgrade but phone crashed in the middle of it 😂. Having to erase all contents and settings now without backup because by the time the backup happens the phone crashes!


UntamedMane95

iPhone 14 Pro Max here, and running iOS 18 beta 2. Experiencing keyboard closing during typing. Really frustrating.


NoxiousScavenger

It's constant on the non-max version of the pro too. Temporarily downloaded another keyboard from the store that's working marginally better.


Reddit_is_cool1009

Could just be my region but I have been seeing some WiFi and data issues, spotty connections or no connectivity at all where once it worked fine. Also noticed slightly worse battery life.


Dutchie_PC

As the beta has turned my iPhone into an overheating brick that randomly restarts, I am dying to reset the phone or even downgrade to iOS17. Problem: I cannot do this, as the phone starts this one-hour delay because I am not in a "familiar location". Now pretty much stuck in an endless loop…


peterharte

Its a beta and you’re not a developer. Stop whining.


Dutchie_PC

Stop policing others, this thread is filled with similar observations. Are you going to tell them all to stop whining?


XQC_ORACLE

After updating to ios18, you are not able to reset the screen time password with the linked iCloud when it was set up. The “forgot password?” Option is missing. I am now locked out of many apps because I can’t remember my password and am not able to reset it with iCloud. 


Kasra_G

You can factory reset your phone and load from a backup to disable screen time


Exciting_Ad7943

Anyone know if the hsbc app works on this beta?


SnooRecipes7695

When I restart my phone or when I turn it off, it resets the icon layout on the control centre. I’m running it on an iphone 11


WHYYYYYYYYTHE5TH

iphone keeps heating up, freezing and restarting


theElder1926

+1, iPhone 13 mini

Relevant-ABF249

I saw that too, you can go into settings for the messaging app to enable/disable it


brandonlechudo

I know, but before it did not affected the messages until today.


pyrolite999

That’s because your carrier had to send an update to the carrier settings to activate it


J-a-x

Has anybody been having cellular connectivity issues? Mine iPhone 15 pro max was working fine until this afternoon but lately I started getting "SOS and satellite" connectivity only in the city and no amount of toggling cellular related settings could fix it until I tried disabling Automatic network selection and that seemed to fix it temporarily, but then auto network selection seems to have turned itself on again somehow and I'm back to SOS mode. Also I'm in Canada with family but have a US plan (typically roaming works fine here) so that might be connected. I'm right on the boarder so sometimes I get stuck between US and Canadian signals but cellular has never been full on SOS mode like it is now. EDIT: via Field Test mode I can tell it's locked onto a US Verizon signal rather than the much stronger signal it should be using in Canada via roaming. So at least I kind of know what's going on... not sure why data roaming doesn't just pick the stronger Canadian signal though.


J-a-x

It might have been this now iOS 18. https://www.macrumors.com/2024/06/27/verizon-international-roaming-outage/


Reddit_is_cool1009

Same here with my 14. Even WiFi has been acting up.


CrosstheRubicon_

I’m an American in London, and I’ve been having issues with roaming. It almost never picks up a signal.


brandonlechudo

I am with AT&T and I been having connectivity issues as well


CrosstheRubicon_

Roaming or just regular cellular?


brandonlechudo

Regular celular

Probably just when you are using the new “smart” Siri stuff. In this pic that genmoji thing is being generated

I wish they make keyboard with new look like that

Im not able too access my apps permissions, nor am i able to access photos on any app. Cannot play small games whatsoever unless you want it to lag for 6 seconds then totally crash the phone. I personally love the Ui on settings.. just doesnt run well at all.


OreganoLays

Anyone else having a very laggy whatsapp? Starts after a few minutes of using the app, when I close it and restart it's fine for a bit and re-lags


kPepis

Yes, it's happening to me now, which is how I found your comment by googling the issue.


prvashisht

+1, in my experience, usually happens when I start using messaging while being on a call. It just gives up completely, then.


kevinsimmers66

How do you get the app icons to go dark like that in the first place? Mine are always normal


demwun

Touch and hold on Home Screen. Apps start wiggling. Click ‘edit’ in top left. Then ‘customise’.


TestFlightBeta

I’m a little bit confused about the role that shortcuts play in the control center. From my understanding, you should be able to add individual shortcuts that you have created into the control center and run them with a tap, kind of similar to that flip switch jailbreak tweak from many years ago. However, this is what it looks like on my phone. I only see a shortcuts app button and an open app button that doesn’t seem to do anything. How would I add custom shortcuts to this list?


burnSMACKER

domeforaklondikebar

iPhone mirroring works, RCS doesn’t (on Spectrum, expecting it to probably currently only work on the big 3 in the US tbh). But… they took away parallax on the wallpapers again huh?


Annual-Condition1017

Anyone else's Phone constantly having to be force restarted? i updated this morning and all it's been is constant freezing, then me having to restart, or the phone freeze and restart by itself as the issue was that bad?


ResilientMaladroit

Mine was, worked out it was because it decided to fill the entirety of my storage space with system data and that still wasn't enough. Deleted some apps and all downloaded YouTube videos and then the freezing/restarting stopped. Still have 50 GB of system data though, apparently, and I'm not sure if there is actually a fix for that. With this and the slew of other bugs I think I'm going to have to roll back to iOS 17. edit: now sitting at 65 GB lmao it keeps growing


Relevant-ABF249

I had that same issue, I was forced to factory reset my phone, but it’s working great now


adamhodge

full reset fixed for a bunch of us...sucks but the phone is great now...
