Hi, just wanted to say I’ve been enjoying the new iOS 18 features but just had a few thoughts.
One is that the new look for the default “Tapbacks” in iMessage are a little odd and too detailed/shaded, I would prefer if the old ones came back.
The second piece of feedback is that I wish the Headphone Accommodations button in Control Center would let you control the ”Tune Audio For” setting from the Control Center button—currently all it does is let you toggle the entire feature on or off.
I have updated my iPhone 13 with IOS 18 and I have apple watch se II connected to my iPhone, I am get the iMessages on my watch and it is not showing on my iPhone
Prior to iOS 18 I could interact with my touchscreen when my phone was in standby mode. This was perfect because I could check weather, time, date, pause and play music, change songs, all at my desk, all without picking up my phone from the wireless charger. This feature is now gone in iOS 18 and I would REALLY like it back. It was super useful all day at work and now I’m constantly fumbling with my phone for every little thing.
Prior to upgrading to iOS 18 I was able to type text in French directly from my English keyboard with text and suggestions working perfectly but now I’m having to switch between my different keyboard depending on who I need to speak to. It’s quite annoying to have lost that ability and having to switch between different keyboard, as English and French are my 2 main communication language.
there truly was NO REASON for apple to even touch the photos app. The videos being receded are becoming corrupt and won’t play! As a content creator this is beyond upsetting. I’m losing out on videos that I can’t re-record. There is a whole reddit thread with people complaining about the same thing.
The photos app was almost perfect in iOS 17. The changes to the photos app in iOS 18 are a true regression to one of your best apps. Too cluttered and clumsy. photos app in iOS was much cleaner and more intuitive. iOS 18 photos app has gone against Appl’s ethos of making apps clean, intuitive and easy to navigate. One of the worst “upgrades“ to our beloved photos app
I’m not loving the new photos app. I dislike having everything on one screen, I prefer the menu/taskbar separation available on previous versions of iOS. I would also love the ability to 1. Remove the “key photo” that takes up half the screen when I click into an album. I don’t need it, it takes up so much space, and it’s annoying to constantly be shown a poorly formatted slideshow of my pictures. It‘s visual overload. 2. Sort the Favorites folder with the newest pictures at the bottom (as you can do with every other album and could do prior to this update). 3. Double tap to actually zoom in - the latest update makes it so that the double tap only brings the photo in until the edge has reached the limit of the screen which is kind of useless given that i’m trying to zoom. I would prefer to have the old double tap functionality back, as it was much more useful for quickly checking whether photos are blurry, etc. Thanks guys.
