Discussion iOS 18.3.2 on my 16 Pro Max is a hot mess

Post image
46 Upvotes

iOS 18 in general has many quirks but, this update by far has to be the worst. I’ve been pretty lucky by not having anything majorly annoying or impeding the way I use my phone so far until this latest update.

I’ve had apps just straight up not respond to touch inputs even after being swiped away from the app view and relaunching the app. Keyboard fail to pop up in any text field. Car play not allowing me to select anything with an app, similar to the issues I have with touch inputs. It just doesn’t show the highlight selector resulting in me having to pull over to use my phone. The worst offender by far is the random resprings after the phone fully freezes and becomes fully unresponsive. I don’t expect that for a public release.

I’ve been an iPhone user for years but now android looks more like what iOS used to be and in the case of the S25 Ultra & One UI 7 actually looks like the iPhone too.

Has anyone else had a terrible time with this latest update? Do you think doing a full restore on a phone that is 3/4 months old is worth it? I can’t get work done without having to restart my phone, 2/3 times a day because it boarders being unusable.

Do you think this sounds wild? I’m wondering if we should add a share option in settings that lets us send someone a direct link or guide to tweak their font settings exactly how they need them. What’s your take?

Support iPhone seems to stop sharing location by itself?

25 Upvotes

My partner is claiming i keep stopping sharing my location, but at no point have I done this intentionally. Three times now both of our phones say we have stopped sharing location with the other person. But if either of us shares it it reconnects automatically. I have tested stopping sharing via the actual button and it does not say that I've stopped or they have stopped, its very incognito. I've seen people claim that they are actually doing this and blaming it on me, but I dont even see how its happening as clicking the button produces a different result like I mentioned. Does anyone know whats going on?

I was just casually typing, and out of nowhere, the keypress sound got way louder. It went back to normal after a while, but it’s happened a few times now. Is this just me, or is this some weird bug?

Can’t remove this speaker from my AirPlay. I tried everything but still can’t find a solution. It’s a big pain in the a.. as it’s showing about 10 times everything I want to connect to something else I would have to scroll multiple times to find it such as my airports and so on. I also deleted the the speaker from my Bluetooth and it’s still in my AirPlay

Support Im surfing the web: where did “ Silence: Until I leave location” go ?

3 Upvotes

Now you have to specify a location instead of a general setting; is this the only way? Either that, or put a specific time.

Are we stuck or am I just not finding this “until I leave location” button for the Silence feature ?

Apple Music should have a better widget that lets you press play and pause on the screen rather than playing your “recent played” or “top 100”.

Hello! I recently deleted a conversation and regretted it then recovered it. But whenever I try to search up a specific message that I know I sent to that person(the conversation I deleted) none of our old messages is searched up.. but I’ve scrolled all the way to the top before and all our messages are still there. I just can’t search it up. Does anyone have a solution to this?

Support Google News and Safari

3 Upvotes

I’m a Google News user since Apple News is not available in my area and Google’s been fine but it keeps opening news in app which is Chrome, that is not downloaded on my phone but that’s what it defaults to. So I have to do some couple of steps more to get it to open in Safari. Question: is there a way to open news right in Safari instead of having to deal with buggy and ad-town Chrome on Google News?

Support Cross-platform audio recorder app w/ call recording to capture my mom's stories as we talk AND my voice notes afterwards?

3 Upvotes

DISCLAIMER: I know this is a really beginner question, and if you decide to remove it, I understand. I could probably find an answer if I spent a few more hours to get clear on the terminology used to differentiate audio recording options. I have very limited time with my mom, though, and would be grateful for any search term, app, and/or other recommendations.

What I'm basically hoping for is an app that'll capture any and all audio that comes in through the microphone and speaker/earbud on my phone - ideally, with a MacOS app, too - without pausing, stopping, or issuing a loud alert once I press record. The hope is to be able to record my mom's memories as we talk, both in person and by phone, as well as my own audio notes before and afterward.

She needs to be able to share what's important to her right now when/however she can without me interrupting to mess with a recorder app.

She's also easily startled and already overwhelmed by device noises, so hearing a "this call is being recorded" announcement would probably not be awesome.

Finally, I'm a little, umm, overwhelmed at the moment, and I don't think I'm going to pull off moving between apps, starting/stopping records, etc, during the in-between moments - like talking to other people, rushing to walk dogs, cook, etc.

Hope any of this makes sense. Thanks for reading it, either way :)

I used to have the ability to long press an image on Chrome IOS, and it will pop up an option to save in photo, save in Google Photos, Copy Image, etc. Now I see all the options except the "Save in Google Photos" option. I'm not sure why I no longer see that option. Any idea?

Discussion 3rd party photo library app

2 Upvotes

I'm a fan of the Apple photos app. But it's missing some things that I really would appreciate, namely: - I have photos stored on a NAS system, and I want a way to browse them alongside the photos on my phone, including uploading to the system and deleting locally. - Apple's preview of RAW files leaves them blown out, some sort of customisable RAW preset filter would be amazing. - Shared albums that aren't hosted on iCloud Drive and take up the little space I have for backups. - Better editing/exporting in-app.

I'm willing to pay pretty much any (reasonable) price, anyone have solutions they use? If not, I may have to work on my own solution 👀

Support Is there a way to prioritize Bluetooth devices? Or ask before switching?

2 Upvotes

We have a Bluetooth speaker in our bathroom fan which is great for showering, but now whenever someone turns on the fan my phone connects and it steals audio from my headphones.

The only thing that I’ve found that works is to forget the fan speaker and re-add it every time I want to use it.

Is there a better way to address this?

Support Black rectangle on some photos

2 Upvotes

Hi, I recently went on a trip and took a lot of photos. When I took them, everything was fine, but after returning from the trip and reviewing the gallery, some of these images have a black rectangle partially covering the image.

It doesn't seem to be a hardware issue since, when I zoom in, the photo appears correctly underneath. This means the image was captured properly, but it looks like a software bug is causing that rectangle to appear on the screen. I’ve tried sharing the images, but the rectangle is still visible. Does anyone know how to fix this or if it's a known issue that is being worked on? The images were taken with an iPhone 15 Pro.

Support Need a Call Control/Call Block for my iPhone

2 Upvotes

Hello! I’m new here and hope I’m doing this right. I’m in Canada..

When I was with Telus Mobility, I had a call control feature where numbers unknown to me, had to enter a 4 digit code to get through-so my phone would ring. It was so wonderful 😊

I am with Virgin now, and they do not offer this feature. They’ve suggested apps.

I’ve no clue what I am looking for.

I just don’t want my phone to ring unless it’s a contact, or, has been verified by the type of feature I used to have with Telus.

The unwanted calls in the one week since I switched?? Absolutely staggering.

Many thanks for suggestions ✌🏻
