Has anyone else noticed that there are two different volume levels now ? When I call for an advisor, the IVR (AI introduction sounds fine. When the advisor or any other call speaks, i'ts so low I have to put it to my ear.

Here are some reasons why Apple should consider an update to enhance message refreshing and chat sharing on WhatsApp, making it smoother across both iPhone and Android: Cross-Platform Compatibility • Problem: Right now, switching between iPhone and Android on WhatsApp can result in lost messages or complicated backup processes due to differences in operating systems and data formats. • Impact: A universal update allowing seamless message refresh and sharing would bridge the gap between iOS and Android. Users could switch devices without losing conversation history, making the experience more fluid and inclusive for both iPhone and Android users. Enhanced Data Security and Privacy • Problem: Many users rely on third-party methods to back up or transfer WhatsApp chats, which can pose privacy risks. • Solution: A unified system from Apple (and Android) could ensure that all backups and chat transfers are encrypted, keeping data private and secure, aligned with each platform’s commitment to data protection. • Impact: This would reduce security concerns for people using their devices for sensitive communications, such as business transactions or personal matters. Peace of Mind for Users • Problem: Many users worry about losing important messages when they upgrade their phones or change their operating systems. • Solution: An update that includes auto-refresh and universal chat-sharing across backups would make sure conversations and media are always accessible, no matter the device. • Impact: This peace of mind would lead to higher user satisfaction and reduce anxiety about data loss, enhancing WhatsApp’s reliability as a communication platform worldwide. Improved User Experience and Retention • Problem: The complexity of transferring chats between iOS and Android devices can push users to avoid switching or even consider alternatives to WhatsApp. • Solution: With a streamlined message and chat-sharing experience, users would find it easier to stay connected on WhatsApp, regardless of the device. • Impact: This could increase user retention and trust, making WhatsApp more indispensable as a global messaging platform. Greater Accessibility for Global Users • Problem: Many users globally use WhatsApp for family, work, and community connections, especially in areas where it is the primary communication tool. Losing messages or finding backup systems challenging can cause disruptions. • Solution: A message refresh and sharing update would support seamless transitions and backups, making WhatsApp more accessible and consistent. • Impact: This would support worldwide connectivity, especially in regions where WhatsApp is a lifeline for communication, fostering inclusivity and reducing digital barriers. Future-Proofing for Technological Advancements • Problem: As technology advances, the gap between iOS and Android compatibility could widen if not addressed now. • Solution: An update that includes flexible chat-sharing and message-refreshing capabilities would keep Apple and Android devices aligned and prepared for future features or communication needs. • Impact: This proactive approach ensures that WhatsApp remains relevant, adaptable, and future-ready for global users as both platforms evolve. Overall, this update could foster better communication, security, and user satisfaction worldwide. It would also help Apple and WhatsApp strengthen their roles as leaders in secure and universal messaging solutions.

Dear Apple Developer Team, After installing the iOS 18.2 Beta, I encountered a language inconsistency in the iCloud interface. Although my system language is set to Traditional Chinese, the iCloud section in Settings now displays in Simplified Chinese. This issue only affects the iCloud page, as other sections retain the correct language setting. I kindly request that you address this issue by providing a fix, either through an executable update or an upcoming Beta release. A timely solution would help improve the beta experience for users who rely on specific language settings. Thank you for your attention.

I'm unable to pair my Apple Watch Ultra (watch os 11.1 GA) onto Ios 18.2 beta 2 (had same issue with beta 1). I get a Phone out of date Error and was wondering if someone had a workaround. I tried backing up my phone, restoring on a 18.1 GA phone and tried to pair there (in hopes of later restoring backup on 18.2 b2) but I got the same error on 18.1 after the restore; I'm guessing somewhere in the backup it incorrectly restores the iOS version. I am able to pair watch on a non restored 18.1. HELP!

I’ve had the beta and been signed up since October 23rd. Still sitting on early access requested. It’s a 16PM. My son has my old 15PM he downloaded the 18.2 beta 4 days ago and requested access and he already has it. So is it a lottery system or only certain phone models at a given time? Anyone else have the same issue? Thanks in advance, Jeremy

Using Developer iOS and iPadPS 18.2 - I noticed a communications issue with AirTags. They airtag shows last location, but cannot communicate to make it make a sound. I reset one of the AirTags and now it will not connect to either iPhone 15Pro or IPad Pro. The battery is good and I've completed every troubleshooting step. has anyone else experienced this behavior?

Exact same issues on my old leather MagSafe wallet, so I brought a new one from the Apple Store ‘blackberry’ colour. Yep that’s a word we don’t hear often in tech anymore. Anyway, I’ve reported it in all versions of iOS 18.1 when in beta and they still exist in iOS 18.2 beta 1. I’ve removed them, restarted phone to no avail unfortunately.

How I can I have both versions of the app installed on the same phone? 1 for testing and 1 that’s live to see current version users are using? I had this setup before but now TestFlight installs replace the live version instead of the test version.

I am experiencing a critical issue with WKWebView navigation in iOS 18.2 beta, specifically regarding the function webView.loadFileURL(_:allowingReadAccessTo:). In previous versions of iOS, this function works as expected when loading valid file URLs from the app’s local directory (e.g., Application Support). However, in iOS 18.2 beta, the function fails to complete the navigation, producing a provisional navigation failure with WebKitErrorDomain, code 102 (Frame load interrupted). This issue severely impacts our app’s ability to load essential local resources, breaking core functionality. Here’s a summary of the troubleshooting steps and findings: File and Directory Verification: The url provided to loadFileURL is valid. Both the file path and parent directory exist within the app’s sandbox, and the directory is accessible. Configuration: The code specifies the parent directory in the allowingReadAccessTo parameter to meet sandboxing requirements, which works on iOS 18.1 and prior releases. Testing on Stable iOS Versions: The issue is exclusive to iOS 18.2 beta; testing on earlier stable iOS releases confirms that the function works as intended. Impact: This regression severely disrupts the app’s navigation and content loading, effectively blocking access to local resources required for the WKWebView to display content properly. The error log returned in the console is as follows: > Error Domain=WebKitErrorDomain Code=102 "Frame load interrupted" UserInfo={_WKRecoveryAttempterErrorKey=<WKReloadFrameErrorRecoveryAttempter: 0x303dd67e0>, NSErrorFailingURLStringKey=file:///var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/4D128818-7E51-460E-B5D4-D2D70363EFA0/Library/, NSErrorFailingURLKey=file:///var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/4D128818-7E51-460E-B5D4-D2D70363EFA0/Library/, NSLocalizedDescription=Frame load interrupted} We suspect this may be due to a change in WebKit permissions in iOS 18.2 beta that affects local file handling within WKWebView. Given that the our app relies heavily on these resources, we kindly request this issue be addressed promptly. If any additional information or sample code is required, please let us know, and we will gladly provide further details to assist in resolving this issue. Thank you for your attention and support. Best regards, Isabela

I was on iOS 18.1 beta 6 on my iPhone 14 Pro Max when my iPhone 16 Pro Max arrived. I took it out of the box and started to set it up as usual. I scanned the moving blue circle with my camera and began setting up the device. When I reached the software update screen, it was going to update to iOS 18.0.1. The phone restarted, and everything seemed normal. However, it brought me back to another update screen, asking me to go through the same setup steps again, which I found odd. This time, the update was for iOS 18.1 beta 7. After the update, the device restarted and appeared to be good to go, but it wasn’t. It wouldn’t go past the lock screen and kept respringing when I held down the power button to turn it off. I tried to restore the device from my computer using Apple devices, and it began to restore. The Apple logo appeared on the black screen with a loading bar, but it got stuck at about 15%. It remained like that for over an hour while plugged in. I hard restarted the device, following Apple Support’s directions, and the device became corrupted, stuck on the restore screen. I attempted to restore it again from my computer, but it only gave error codes and once again stalled at 15% of the loading bar. The error and videos and images are linked below one error is not in pictures but it was unexpected error 3503 could not complete update and restore. Betas are Apple Original, they are developer betas as I have a developer account.

Hello! Has anyone else been unable to update from MacOS 15.1 to 15.2? I have set the update stream to Dev Beta 15.2 and when I check for updates it shows that there are no updates available and I am up to date on 15.1. I am on a 2024 M3 MBP. I submitted a feedback ticket but was wondering if others are experiencing this issue also.

My main app contains a complete sub app, but when I put this app on TestFlight, the startup report says that The provisioning profile is invalid; The main app was launched separately and runs normally. Please help me deal with the issue of invalid preset description files. Thank you myapp.app --Contents --bin --subapp.app --Contents --MacOS --Frameworks --MacOS --Frameworks

It has been about 5 days since I sent the request and it still hasn’t been accepted. I am quite disappointed as Apple usually accepts requests within a couple of hours. Please fix this ASAP.

Hello, two months ago, I got a 2024 Volkswagen ID.4. At first, there was a free trial of a hotspot through Verizon. It was fine, but I'd rather use my phone's cellular data. Not long after that, I installed the iOS 18.1 beta. That's when I noticed that my phone was offline when connected to CarPlay. I have my maps downloaded, and much of my music and podcasts are configured to download locally to my phone, so I'm not sure exactly when it began. I've exhausted the settings I can think of on my phone and my car's infotainment settings. I've tried: Resetting Network settings on my phone Confirming that Wifi Assist is enabled Re-pairing my phone with my car Turning off my car's Wifi Hotspot setting turns turns off wireless CarPlay. When I try to re-connect to CarPlay, I get a notification that it must be on to connect wirelessly. Turning cellular data off and on None have helped yet. Any ideas?

Apple, I speak for the majority when I say that we are frustrated, not exactly from the fact that we are unable to access features and test them and submit feedback and etc. but because of the fact that you are not communicating. If you may, please let us know right here if this is a server bug or if it is initial strategy to rollout the generative features to a small and limited amount of people on IOS18.2 DB1 Thank you!

After I updated Siri doesn't work. If I try to use it by typing I get no feedback or response. If I say 'Siri' or hold down the side button the 'animation' on the screen starts but stops immediately and again I have no response or feedback. When turning off Apple Intelligence and just using Siri, it works perfectly. But in conjunction with Apple Intelligence, it is not possible to use Siri. IOS 18.2 Beta IPhone 15 pro Max

I updated an iPhone 15 Pro Max to iOS 18.2, before I watch some reviews. I noticed that my Mail app did not appear with the sorting functions. Is there anyone with the similar problem?
