iOS 17.4 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[RSmith2023]

Yep.
This was just the one day when I was traveling. The show on my 15PM.

I spoke too soon.
Got two more alerts. I am sitting in my office..
WTH?

Did you also have them paired with something NOT under your AppleID? I had a pair of Gen1 AirPod pros that I had given to my daughter that did something similar. I had removed them from my AppleID but forgot to delete the pairing I had made with my work phone (an Android)

Is Music in CarPlay skipping for anyone else?

The only way I’ve found to temporarily resolve it is to disconnect from the car, force quit Music, and hard restart the phone.

Battery life also hasn’t been the greatest. I’m still making it thorough the day but for a brand new phone, I should never be seeing less than 40% by bedtime.

no issues here with music (or anything else) in CarPlay (BMW iD7 (= wireless CarPlay) and Xs)

I don't use Apple Music but I can confirm that Spotify skips for me from time to time. There were also times CarPlay connected, disconnected and connected again but that happened to me maybe 3 times since installing 17.4

Also, out of a sudden I stopped getting notifications from some 3rd party apps. At first I thought that might be app's fault but it's not just one app, it's multiple and even hard restart doesn't help. I turned off notifications, turned them back on but still nothing and I'm not sure why.

Anyone having issues with Focus showing "Notifications are silenced" in Messages, even though it's turned off in Settings.

Nope. Just the AirPods Pro and AW Ultra.
I have the APP on my 15PM and iPad Pro. Just seeing this on the 15PM.

Odd….

Having this issue with my AWU. They show on the 15PM but the AWU which is mirrored only shows some Notifications.

Even after a week now every Morning when I take my phone from the charger my Photos App has some background activity for 30min to 1h. So My battery drains to 96% or 95% without even touching my phone. I never had this before.

did you restart or reset your iPhone?

 

[Cruncher]

Yes, I restarted my iPhone a few times and also did a forced restart twice. It does not help. I guess the indexing should be done after a week. I am hoping iOS 17.4.1 will come out soon and fix it

I'm having to double tap play on my iPhone in Music after switching Airpods from Mac back to the iPhone....A minor complaint in the grand scheme of things but I didn't have this problem on prior verisons...

Screentime limitations dont seem to work on Apps for me. I am kind of addicted to news, so I set a limit of 15 mins for each App, but it’s not kicking in.

Do you have more than one Apple device? A friends iPhone did that the other day and turns out it was active on her Mac

Only an iPad. But Focus Status is off on it. I went to Settings > Privacy & Security > Focus > tuned Messages off. We'll see.

15PM on Mint Mobile.
Just noticed that all (a lot but maybe not all) my deleted voicemails (from AT&T and Mint) are back in my VM deleted folder and all dated 7/31/2023. 519 of them looking to be from the past couple of years.

Called Mint and they say it isn’t from their end.
Crazy.

I reinstalled iOS with the Update function and the ipsw file. The issue seems to be gone now. Very strange.

Despite the Apple rhetoric that OTA and ipsw are the same, it is surprising how many “issues” ipsw seems to fix.

It has to be some iOS bug. Next time you can try resetting all settings. This option won't erase your data but change all settings to defaults. In most cases it helps because it force every app to reset themselves.

Despite the Apple rhetoric that OTA and ipsw are the same, it is surprising how many “issues” ipsw seems to fix.

But they are not the same. Even when you are talking with Apple Support they admit it. It doesn't mean that you won't get any bug with ipsw.
After more than 15 years with iPhones I know one thing. If you have a bug and you can't fix it with turn off/on and hard reset the new update usually doesn't help. Unless the update fixes this specific issue. Moreover if you want to erase you phone you should set it as new. Backups may (but don't have to) contain all bugs you experienced

That’s why I ALWAYS perform a wired IPSW install (restore), and why I’m still on 16.6.1 and not on 16.7.1 (OTA only).

After a discussion a few of us on here had with Craig, who insisted they were the same despite the evidence we had showing otherwise… Support may be alluding to one thing but management is saying otherwise.

Battery life on my 13 Pro is the worst it’s been since 17.x.

This is after full restore and set up from new.
