I know general reception to the update has been positiv. I would like to take the opposite side of the argument for now since I’ve had several issues since the update.
Most noticeable is the rearrangement of many key features such as photos, the control panel, and the settings. This is a personal point, but I don’t like the new photos app layout. It’s confusing and adds complexity I don’t need. The control panel is also overcrowded now and I can’t find some of the setting I frequently used.
But most importantly something changed with the apple AirPods Pro during the software update and my headphones are pretty much useless now. The adaptive noise control and lowering/stopping of music when conversation happened is useless now. Also, my microphones don’t work anymore. i have to yell for people to understand me on phone calls now.
I used to have one headphone in and head a great listening experience with some noise suppression. The feature is gone now and I have pass through (which makes listening impossible) or just muted outside noise.
i tried to change some of the settings but couldn’t get them To be useful anymore.
this is the first major update I am not only, not excited about, but actively dislike. Enough so, to go out of my way and write this feedback in the forum to hopefully get apples attention and fix the issues!!
Especially the headphones are major struggle for me now since I use them for work a lot. The experience used to be seamless but now it’s a pain every time someone calls or I have to call anyone.
Please review all your feedback and fix issues to make a great customer experience once again. Thank you.
