iOS 18 Beta 2 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[addamas]

At least for me: the Control Panel Widgets lives their own life. During night or without a reason in the middle of the day - the widgets reorient and/or removes partially.

No visible respring, no physical restart of the phone during night (as I had no ask for sim card pin) and no info in Battery info.

The same is done when phone is restarted by user or hard restarted or language is switched - but it was told in this thread already.

To my understanding all the AI features are rolling out in beta this September

Wrong thread but I’ll address here (and mods can move to Speculation thread if desired): No, I don’t believe that is correct. When released to the public “this Fall” Apple Intelligence will be listed as “in beta”, but not in the sense as the betas we normally deal with it will simply be a tag to warn users that it’s not fully complete.

The very rough timeline (per Gurman and post WWDC interviews by Apple execs) seems to be:

-most Apple Intelligence stuff: betas this summer and released in September as “Beta” (capital “B” beta)
-Mail AI features and Siri ChatGPT integration: betas this fall and released at some point in 2024 (probably 18.1 or 18.2)
-Siri App interaction capabilities: earlyish2025 (likely in 18.4 in late March)

Might this point to some of Apple Intelligence features coming with beta 3, assuming they are making server-side changes right now?

It would be nice if Mail stopped putting certain regular newsletter mails in Junk after I'd already dragged some from there into my inbox.

I'm not sure how the Junk system works, but it seems it's run by Siri: in other words it's incapable of learning.

I feel your pain. Me as well can't understand why some newsletters are being from time to time moved to junk, despite they are being usually delivered to the inbox. Really wondering how the new mail app is going to be

Seems like the Mail team still doesn’t see the privacy issue of just dumping you into the next read or unread email after moving or deleting an email. After all this time there’s still no option to just return to your Inbox list. I can’t believe people at Apple think it’s normal to immediately open another unread email after you delete or move the email you’re in.

Another reason to not dump you into the next unopened email- that email could be spam or have something malicious in it.

I posted this a few days ago in another thread, I think it looks horribly messy, my current road number appears on screen five times... View attachment 2393810

If you weren't aware, They've reverted back in B3.

Also, that's really neat that they reversed the button layout for your wrong side of the road drivers.
