iOS 18.2 Beta 3 Released - What's New? (Apple Intelligence)

[@BrandonButch]

Are you a fan of the change to the Photos app?

[@SpectrumsAE]

Definitely.. Apple is on top of the game

[@theruine3110]

I would have liked it before (like during the iOS 18 betas) but now it seems weird cause I got the habit of seeing the “old” style

[@mistabritt]

Thank God they fixed it. I hated the slim look of videos and/or photos after updating to iOS 18.

[@MCCraftAdventure]

No that looks buggy, I liked the full view.

[@GhostDragon2057]

Once they fix the UI overlapping yes

[@mistabritt]

Brandon I swear you are like my favorite iOS reviewer. So detailed and I like how you explain everything out. Keep up the good work. Love the videos.

[@BrandonButch]

Thanks! I appreciate it

Is your battery life taking a hit? I’m on 18.1 and its draining

[@fiddlestix26]

Definitely skipping this release! Thanks for the video!!

[@michaelfountain4201]

me 2...I think I will skip the release too many issues...

[@luminescence_visuals]

They keep messing around with the photos app 💀

[@Goubear123]

That photo layout is annoying as hell. Got to be a bug or someone is getting fired 😂

[@Paul-mn8en]

Not everyone have these bugs, i downloaded it but i don’t have these bugs

[@HesiGrinds]

Yes skipping this one because of the photos

[@Argt00]

The screenshots showing up full screen was the default behavior since the beginning, it only changed with iOS 18.0. Thank Goodness theyre bringing it back, how does it seem better for you to have to tap twice to expand a screenshot

[@sylverpepper]

Even with the IOS 18.1 update Apple Note is still broken. I see this is a known issue, what is Apple waiting for ? All notes that are a little too long start to slow down a lot when typing. Using Apple Note heats up the phone and uses up the battery quickly. I can't work properly any more and I urgently need to fix this problem. What is Apple doing ?

[@davidfortin]

When using the image wand, I noticed that sketching an object doesn’t instantly generate the image. Instead, it prompts you to “Describe an image.” Based on your description, it creates something that resembles your original sketch while incorporating the details you provided. For example, I drew a rough outline of a human and entered “giraffe” as my description. The result was a giraffe shaped in the form of the human I had sketched.

[@gautamkhera]

How do i get that wallpaper?

[@laxjs]

Wallpaper link please!!1

Same here 😂

[@DaveTech-q3f]

@intelparkmc After 24 how’s your experience?

[@IntelParkMC]

@@DaveTech-q3f The photos app is a bit of a mess but definitely still usable. Battery and performance seem very good and stable. If you can live through the bugs for a week, I would update.

[@martinvillanueva2071]

@@DaveTech-q3fmine has been solid so far on my 16 pro max , no real battery problems or bugs noticed so far

[@lostkhaz]

Hey man sometimes I watch these before updating or while updating and I was thinking it would be nice if you could talk about the big bugs like stickers disappearing or dark Lock Screen at the start of the video with a little warning about how people might not want to update to this beta before getting into the new features

[@justforthetv]

He showed the issue which is an implied warning, people should simply watch the video in full and take note of the information he provided. Besides, Apple has always given us the typical disclaimer about downloading Betas.

[@SoleLawd]

RCS has not been working with iOS 18.2 Betas

[@Team974]

Create image makes more sense

[@rrabee8016]

Just wondering what kinda wallpaper is that I love it

[@BlackGokuSolos]

what about battery intelligence

[@byanthonysookram]

Can you compare the flashlight toggle in iOS 17 to iOS 18? In iOS 17, you could easily long-press the flashlight button to adjust the brightness anytime. But in iOS 18, you can’t long-press the button when it’s already on. You have to turn it off and then turn it back on again. Can you highlight that to Apple please? We know they watch your videos…

[@davocarli]

Beta 2 has been really stable for me, but it kinda sounds like Beta 3 has a lot more issues so I’m just gonna stay where I am for now

[@JWConvoBroadcast]

To be honest, I really don’t understand why they keep making so many changes. It actually works good how things are now. When you keep making changes or keep fixing something, that’s not broken

[@GomarThePotato]

all the changes to the new photos ui feels like an incorrect way of trying to fix a non-existent problem :/

[@sunilbajaj300]

the new photos app itself a problem

[@nicholawilliams1895]

Hi Brandon. Is there a colored keyboard you can recommend?

[@largon2008]

@brandone butch does the phone feel smoother with no lags when you scroll through the apps? 18.1 has a minor lag when i go from the main page to the left side where the widdgets are it looks a bit choppy. i'm on 18.1 i hope they fix it when i get the 18.3 final release.

[@moundercesar3102]

is Genmoji available on Mac or not yet?

[@hypervanguy]

did they give you an option for blur or remove an object in the clean up tool for photos? or is it still up to the ai to decide

[@MrVGamingOfficial]

hindi nawala stickers ko 😎

[@stormrider01]

I like the new image view in the photos app. It´s now like in iOS 17 and before! I hate to tap every time I want to show somebody a picture!

[@niky699]

my lock screen is is how it is supposed to be, so i think its a bug just for some of iphones?

[@cutiechick825]

im ready for the public reliece

On public beta and still on the waitlist for Image Playground 😢

[@nathanf1147]

All my notes in the notes app have just disappeared after updating to iOS 18.2 beta 2 and iOS 18.2 beta 3 has not fixed it.

[@TD_Romeo]

photos is better in full screen. just fix the button. i cant see the pic as good with the border. thanks for the videos

I’ve had that sticker bug since the beginning of Ios 18 now on ios 18.2 beta 3 on iphone 16 pro everytime I try to save a sticker it just instantly disappears and doesn’t save

[@ErickTakada]

Brandon, could you try using GarageBand in your device? Mine doesn’t play instrument sounds anymore even if I’m using a stable version of iOS 18.

[@techwithtyler20]

Try force closing and reopening.

Not a fan of the UI interfering with the photos. Great video as always Brandon! Question for you though, do you think the dark mode icons will ever come to Apple Watch? Also I switched back to my Gmail app a while back because I got tired of the delay in getting notified about emails. This was before the new mail app was released. Are you still experiencing the same issue or has this been resolved?

[@Mf_Cooldawg]

I might skip this beta just because I don't wanna go back to downloading Image playground

[@spacefam972]

Does ipasOS have the new mail app?

Not yet

hey brandon, great video as always. just wondering, have you experienced any overheating with your ipad when using the notes app with any apple pencil? i use my ipad mainly for note taking and the overheat (and consequentially battery drain) is a real issue. thanks!

[@mikeypiontek2855]

If you plan on updating an Apple Watch, be careful to update the Watch before the phone. If you update your phone, first the update will not work

Idk who at Apple has issue with Photos n why they keep messing it up

[@paulstejskal]

I wonder if your Lock Screen is the always on display?

[@Spr_motomatt]

No because he’s actively using the phone. If it was on the AOD, you would only be able to wake it and you would see a padlock to the left of the Dynamic Island, indicating that the phone is lock and the AOD is active

[@paulstejskal]

@ I know, but it looks like the AOD to me.

[@cschmitz100]

I actually prefer the photos / video change for iOS18.2 beta 3. I HATED my photos shrinking and expanding every time I clicked on them

[@meadsource]

Hmm just cancelled my update from B2 to B3 - the Lock Screen and photos bugs seem annoying

[@cw-bz1cd]

The old version of Photo app about pop up feature is incredibly stupid. Nice to see apple remove it, but still miss the OLD design of the app.

[@thetimekeeper9230]

I like the apple symbol over chat icon

[@music_city_mav]

i have the opposite issue with your lock screen. My lock screen shows but my home screen doesn't, it was like that in 18.2 beta 1 and got fixxed in 18.2 beta 2. so far I'm regretting going to beta 3, cause the bugs are either back or worse. it almost feels like the compiled beta 3 before beta 2.
