iOS 18 Beta Bugs and Feedback

While using the iOS 18 Beta, I encountered the following bugs and have some feedback:

Bugs:

  • Notifications: Notifications sometimes appear very small, making them difficult to read and manage. Additionally, notifications occasionally disappear completely or get placed at the bottom of the screen, where they are hard to notice. This causes issues in keeping track of important information.

Feedback

  • Passwords: It is not possible to view the personal hotspot password and QR code in the passwords application. This is particularly problematic when someone wants to share their hotspot with others, as the password must be entered manually.

Please investigate these issues so they do not persist in the final release.

Thank you for the feedback on iOS 18 beta. As Darkpaw wrote, please provide that information using the feedback assistant to investigate and fix it. We really appreciate the feedback and the bug you have found.

Of course! I'll be happy to assist you further using the 'Feedback Assistant' to investigate and report the bug you've encountered with iOS 18 Beta.

To get started, could you please provide me with the following details?

  1. Device Model: What is the model of your iPhone or iPad running iOS 18 Beta?
  2. App or Feature: Where did you encounter the bug? Was it in a specific app, or is it a system-wide issue?
  3. A clear description of the bug: What steps did you take to reproduce the bug? What exactly happened? Provide as many details as possible.
  4. Screenshots or Videos: If possible, capture screenshots or videos that illustrate the bug. This can be very helpful for the developers to understand the issue.
  5. Any additional information: Any other relevant details or context would be appreciated.

Once you have those ready, head over to the Feedback Assistant app on your device. You can find it in the Utilities folder. Then, follow these steps:

  1. Tap 'Submit Feedback'.
  2. Choose the 'Bug' category.
  3. Describe the issue in detail, including the steps you took to reproduce it.
  4. Tap 'Add Attachments' if you have screenshots, videos, or logs.
  5. Tap 'Submit' when you're finished providing your feedback.

Your feedback will then be sent directly to Apple's development team for investigation and potential fixing in future software updates.

Please submit a complete bug report regarding this issue using Feedback Assistant (https://feedbackassistant.apple.com). For more information on Feedback Assistant, please visit https://developer.apple.com/bug-reporting

Please feel free to post the Feedback ID number for the bug report you filed here into the post. We can then associate it with this incident and ensure the bug report is routed to the proper engineering group.

Be sure to test on the most recent beta version of the iOS available. Include the results of your testing in the bug report. Before upgrading a device to a beta, be sure to make a backup first because restoring it to the current release requires erasing the device first.

By filing a bug report, you’ll be able to track the issue, update Apple Engineering with additional information, learn if the issue is already known, and get notified of problem resolution. Apple’s intent is to be well-informed about issues which have adverse effect on our developer community and customer base.

The current status of your Feedback can be viewed in Feedback Assistant under Resolution. Here you can track if the report is still being investigated, has a potential identified fix, or has been resolved in another way. For more details on Feedback Status, please see “Understanding the Status of Your Feedback” linked here: https://developer.apple.com/bug-reporting/status.

Please don't raise bugs in a new version of an OS in a post here on the Developer Forums. Apple's engineers aren't reading through these pages to see if anyone's found a bug.

These forums are for third-party developers writing apps for Apple's platforms to discuss issues with their code.

You need to raise each individual issue separately at https://www.apple.com/feedback/ You can post the FB numbers here if you want, so that others can link to them.

Feedback : usability and user experience

I dislike how the connectivity control on the new iOS is not customizable. I’d like to be able to rearrange the icons and list the things I use the most on the main grid! For example, I don’t fly often, so I rarely use airplane mode, but I use Bluetooth multiple times a day and I like to turn it on and off. Now, I either have to add another icon to my control or make two taps every time I want to use Bluetooth.

The same goes for AirDrop—I don’t use it much, so I wish we could rearrange the icons in the connectivity control section.
