Transcripts
okay so we're now approaching the end of
July and that means that Apple May soon
release another update for iOS 18 the
next update obviously is IOS 18
developer beta 4 and public beta 2 now
before the release of this new update I
wanted to give you guys a quick heads up
on some of the latest bugs and issues
plaguing iOS 18 as of right now I also
want to talk about the expected release
date for beta 4 and public beta 2 and
some of the features we can expect right
before we update to the next beta now
there's a few things happening here in
regards to bugs and issues which is the
main thing I want to talk about because
I know some of you guys are still in iOS
17 and may Venture into iOS 18 and
before you do I wanted to mention
there's a few issues here now Apple did
fix a lot of bugs and issues with the
release of the third beta for Iowa 18
alongside the first public beta which
I'm happy to report but there's still
several issues to talk about for example
if you go to hide an application on the
home screen with the new hide
application features so for example you
can now Lo press on an app and hide it
right there with face ID and or touch ID
some of these apps are still visible
within Spotlight search and the history
so obviously this is something that
shouldn't be happening but it is a bug
within the latest IOS 18 beta 3 and
public beta one now there's also an
issue with screen time and I feel like
screen time has always been broken but
with the latest IOS 18 beta 3 screen
time just isn't basically working at all
anyone can get around the restrictions
it's very buggy and it seems seems
broken every single time with every
single beta but I've noticed within the
third beta is even worse this time
around now something weird that's been
happening as well and this was over on
Reddit many users deleting their
messages and coming back and those
messages reappearing on their message
thread this is something that I haven't
encountered myself but I've read over on
Reddit that a lot of users continue to
see old deleted messages resurfacing on
their messages list inside of iMessage
or the messages application now one
thing I did encounter was issues with
FaceTime so every time I'm on a FaceTime
call when I start initiating the call
myself I find that sometimes the other
person can't hear me just keep in mind
that this is beta software so a lot of
these issues May persist until before
the official release and hopefully a lot
of this stuff is fixed and ironed out
before the final release of iOS 18 and
now when it comes to dictation on the
iPhone for some reason every time I
restart my iPhone I have to go back into
the keyboard here and go ahead and
enable reenable the dictation and
sometimes it would crash my applications
it would crash within Safari within
notes no issue here within iOS 18 beta 3
and of course battery life is also
something that still isn't the best
obviously this is beta software but the
battery could be better keep in mind
that iOS 18 developer beta 3 I've been
struggling with the battery I always
have to charge every day at least once a
day so that I can finish my day with
battery life so if you're expecting
great battery life obviously iOS 18
developer beta 3 and public beta 1 are
not the software for you to install now
when will Apple release the next beta
iOS 18 developer beta 4 and public beta
2 and what are going to be some of the
new features you guys can expect Apple
to start rolling out now this next
update is going to be a big one the next
beta for iOS 18 developer beta 4 could
add a lot of the new features that we're
hoping for such as call recording I know
many of you guys are looking forward to
car recording and transcripts within iOS
18 and I think beta 4 and public beta 2
will be the updates to start rolling out
a lot of these new Apple intelligence
features on iPhone now there's also
obviously image playground which allows
you to create custom images based on
words that you use for references so
yeah image playground a new application
in a new service built in with apple
intelligence may start rolling out in
the form of beta within iOS 18 developer
beta 4 and public beta 2 now gen mooji
obviously something also available
within Apple intelligence may become
available within the fourth beta for iOS
18 alongside the new Siri UI and apple
intelligent updates keep in mind that
Siri won't be fully featured within iOS
18s features like you know onscreen
awareness and inapp actions won't be
available for Siri until perhaps early
20125 we'll have to wait and see but at
least some of the new Siri features such
as the new Siri UI which I'm sure a lot
of you guys are looking forward to may
start rolling out for iPhone 15 Pro and
15 Pro Max as of the fourth beta for iOS
18 and the second public beta for public
beta testers now with all that being
said obviously when will Apple released
the fourth beta and the second public
beta well if we go backwards one year in
history was to repeat itself last year
Apple released iOS 17 beta 4 on July
25th so if history was to repeat itself
we can expect iOS 18 developer beta 4
with a lot of these new Apple
intelligent features starting to roll
out in form of beta as early as today on
July the 22nd perhaps by the time you
watch this video the beta is already out
obviously you can follow me over on
social media on Twitter and obviously
I'll be updating you guys with a video
as well but the beta could be released
anytime throughout the week of the 22nd
of July keep in mind that last year iOS
17 beta 4 was released on the 25th so if
history was to repeat itself then
obviously the beta 4 for iOS 18 will
most likely happen sometime during this
week and that's everything I wanted to
share with you guys just a quick update
on some of the bugs current issues
features we can expect and when we can
expect the next iOS 18 developer beta 4
thank you for watching this quick update
guys just a few things you should know
right before you update have a great day
and I'll see you guys real soon peace
