iOS 15

Anyone else have this issue. When in dark mode in Safari, the text in the url box is still a light gray and barely readable against the white background?

This year the update has a lot of the smaller stuff that you won’t notice immediately, but could come in handy. The iCloud+ stuff is my favourite, won’t be renewing my VPN if it works well over the next few weeks. The random emails you can create are also really helpful.

Noticed the improvements to the photos metadata, text recognition in photos is cool too.

The big focus this year seems to be in the collaboration style features (SharePlay). These types of things always seem mostly aimed at US users. I feel like most of Ireland uses WhatsApp, Spotify, Netflix etc, which means a lot of this stuff isn’t as beneficial here, still nice to have though.

Seeing Safari trending on Twitter the past 24 hours is funny, a lot of people finding it difficult to stick with. It’s fine for me personally, although I feel the animations are a bit slow/jittery with opening and closing tabs and stuff like that. Noticed the same with accessing the home controls in Control Centre.

It is running fine for me so far overall.

Updated without issue but see nothing new of interest at all.

Don't see the point in the Focus, don't use Facetime

Bit of a damp squib tTBH

Focus mode is really good tbh, great for when in work. Problem though, I’ve Snapchat notifications turned off under my work focus but still getting notifications on my watch. Have selected for it to sync across devices so can’t see how it’s happening

Eircom_Sucks · 22-09-2021 12:58pm

Your watch is on OS 8 right? Do you see the corresponding focus icon on the control centre of the watch? Like this

I don’t have that icon in the control centre. The watch is up to date, WatchOS8. I double checked just now. Focus is also in settings and box is ticked to mirror across devices. Tried resetting the watch. Weird.

15.1 public beta is out

awec · 23-09-2021 11:42am

Unfortunately going to have to ditch Maps again and go back to Google. It has got better, but still not as good as Google. Traffic analysis is poor, I guess due to a lack of users meaning a lack of data.

Was driving to Dundrum this morning and I think Maps got confused cause there are multiple entrances, as I got close it just constantly kept re-routing over and over again.

iniall · 24-09-2021 3:06pm

It's funny, but since updating to iOS 15 and watchOS 8, my iPhone 12 battery doesn't make it through the day, but my series 5 battery has improved a little (unlike what happened to @IamMetaldave). Hopefully 15.1 will fix whatever it is before I start succumbing to "there's a new iPhone out and now my iPhone has mysteriously stopped getting through the day" conspiracies... 🙃

Have noticed in safari that sometimes when browsing the search tab disappears and I have to restart safari.

Anyone have any issues with the HSE Covid app on iOS 15? Mine’s no longer showing the QR code (it just shows all the details now) whereas my wife’s is fine on iOS14.8?

DubDJ · 26-09-2021 10:20am

Noticed a bug in the Apple Podcasts app where dark/light mode stays enabled when first opening the app, minimising and re-opening changes the theme back to the correct theme.

Looks like it doesn’t check what system theme is set on very first launch.

pad199207 · 26-09-2021 4:41pm

Have apps stopped updating?

It’s settings-Safari and then under tabs is an option to close manually or after a set amount of days.

2FA codes are synced to your iCloud account with your passwords. Once you log in to a new device they’re available there.

wiresandmore · 27-09-2021 7:02am

Confirming the HSE Covid issue has been resolved, users above said stop/start fixed this; I didn’t do that but overnight it seems to have fixed so possibly an update was pushed? Either way all good now, back to having the QR code on the screen

pleasant Co. · 27-09-2021 1:39pm

I suppose this is as good a place as any to post it. For anyone with both an iphone 13 (m/p/pm) and an apple watch, and is seeing the "Unable to Communicate with Apple Watch" unlock bug, apple will be releasing an update to address the issue:

Is scroll down to refresh a safari page new to iOS 15?

Yep it is, nice find.

15.1 public beta 2 is out

DubDJ · 01-10-2021 9:47pm

Not sure if this is iOS 15 specific, but I just set-up the 13 Pro as a new iPhone, most iCloud data synced ok, with one or two items missing but nothing too important.

I’m having an issue with the podcast app though. Oh my old phone and Mac all progress syncs ok and everything works fine. But the new phone shows all episodes as unwatched. Tried multiple things to fix it including toggle of sync podcasts, signing out, deleting app, restarting phone, charging, listening too some new episodes on the old device.

Just can’t won’t sync anything in to at all. Anyone here have any similar issues. And I know Podcasts isn’t a favourite for most people, but it worked for me up until how.

pleasant Co. · 02-10-2021 2:33am

15.0.1 is out, fixing the Apple Watch mask unlock bug.

Strumms · 04-10-2021 8:23am

Guys, I have an iPad with software 12.4.1.

im trying to update to the latest 15.0.1

but I’m getting an error box... ‘ unable to install update - an error occurred installing iPad iOS 15.0.1 ‘

any ideas how this might be resolved ?

Im pretty much an ‘apple amateur’ but the iPad is a bit of a lifeline during the current situation the country finds itself in and I would be grateful for any assistance or advice in order to get back up and running as the odd app is starting not to update..

thanks in advance...

DubDJ · 04-10-2021 12:23pm

First off I suggest restarting the iPad, an obvious thing but sometimes fixes random issues. Secondly, I’d suggest creating a back-up before doing any sort of update. You can backup to iCloud if you’ve it enabled, or to your laptop/pc with iTunes.

One common cause of iOS update errors can be not enough storage capacity. So I suggest starting there, and checking out what you current have available.

pleasant Co. · 06-10-2021 9:18pm

Does anyone know how to rename an icloud mailbox in the iOS 15 mail app? I used to be able to do that in setting>mail>accounts, and while it's still possible with my non icloud accounts I cannot see how to do it with the icloud account.

Tapping Edit on the mailboxes screen and then tapping on the mailbox under iCloud works for me. For mailboxes I have created anyway.

iOS 15
