Language Display Issue in iOS 18.2 Beta - iCloud Interface
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.

Ios 18.2 beta 2 - unable to pair Apple Watch - iPhone out of date Error
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 I get a Phone out of date Error and was wondering if someone had a workaround.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!

Early Access for playground some others getting right in
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

AirTag Communications issues on 18.2
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?

CarPlay won't use cellular data
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?

I am unable to add my Apple MagSafe Wallet to my iPhone
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.

Corrupted iPhone 16 pro max
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.

Unable to Update from MacOS 15.1 to 15.2
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.

Siri with apple intelligence is not working IOS 18.2 Beta
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

How to create a custom TimeDataSource?
Hello. I am working with the iOS 18b8 and Xcode 16b6 betas, updating a Live Activity Widget to adopt the new FormatStyle variants of the SwiftUI Text views. We used to use: Text(workoutStartDate, style: .relative) and it seems with iOS 18 we can replace it with: Text(workoutStartDate, format: .relative(presentation: .numeric, unitsStyle: .wide)) The former code would auto-increment, allowing a user to look at their Live Activity and see the duration of their workout so far ticking by. The new code does provide a nice relative duration string, but it doesn't auto-increment in the Live Activity's View – I need that functionality. I also updated other Texts in the Live Activity's View to adopt the .timer and .stopwatch FormatStyles. Those auto-increment and update no problem – once I realized I needed to provide a TimeDataSource<Date>.currentDate and not a simple Date. But in this .relative case, there is no auto-incrementing, and I'm guessing it may be due to providing a Date (workoutStartDate) and not a TimeDataSource<Date> as TimeDataSource seems to be the magic to make the Text auto-increment (or it's possible this format simply doesn't support auto-increment? bummer if so since the prior way did). How can I have a TimeDataSource<Date> that vends my arbitrary date (workoutStartDate)? I dug around, didn't find anything, but I wouldn't be surprised if I was overlooking something. PS: I have tried other approaches to solve this, such as simply using a .timer or .stopwatch format. That would change the under experience under iOS 18, and we think degrade it (the relative textual representation is nicer and provides distinction from the .timer also in the same View). We could keep the former approach, despite the minor layout issues under iOS 18. I have considered additional approaches as well – and am totally open to more! Here tho, I am truly curious how one might provide a custom TimeDataSource anchored at a date we provide (perhaps dynamically). Thank you.

Apple please respond with any information (Image Playgrounds access)
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!
