Having issues after the latest update, when unlocking my phone it seems the wifi is turned off for a few seconds. Its really annoying. Especially when it locks after a few seconds of using an app, and then when I unlock it I get a pop up about wifi :mad:

Seems much more stable, Podcasts app looks much cleaner and less buggy, random crashing when queuing podcasts seems to have been resolved. Battery Health showing as 100%, not sure how accurate this is….

ANyone know in messages the way you can reply to a message with a thumbs up or a heart or a haha; do the recipient get a notification?

Yes they'll get a notification, but they are kinda confusing so you shouldn't use them for anything important - like agreeing to meet someone at a certain time. Instead of showing the thumbs up in the notification (as a rich notification), it will instead say "deadanonymau5 liked "<insert your text>".

I stopped using tapbacks in iMessage as I found people didn't really understand the notifications for them. They are obviously meant to be used in real time when you are having a fast back and forth with someone. Even then I think you're better off replying using emjoi.

I just use them to acknowledge a text instead of texting back ok, etc

So what is the percentage showing for the battery health on everybody’s devices?

I’ve got a launch day iPhone X and battery health is still at 99%.

100% on 6 month old X, and 89% on 18. I think old 7.

Same here. 7 Plus January 2017. Still says its supporting normal peak performance.

I can’t remember for sure but I think Apple said anything below 80% is considered degraded performance wise so anything above should be fine.

So intentional throttling kicks in at 79%? If so, that’s ridiculous.

I’d rather charge twice per day than deal with phone lag. It’s painful.

DubDJ

I’m not sure when the actual throttling kicks in, it’s based off unexpected shutdowns and is only enabled after your phone has one. But battery wise a health above 80% is considered ‘healthy’.

Interestingly, since the update came out my battery performance has dropped from 90% to 88% on my 7 Plus from January 2017!

Battery health indicators are not perfectly accurate and will fluctuate.
