I am on IOS Beta 16.1 B2 on an iPhone 12 Pro Max and I have a bunch of apps (i.e yahoo mail) that no longer work. They crash as soon as I try to open them.
Please check in App Store for available app updates. Yahoo Mail should already have an update available that fixes this.
Since iOS 16 beta testing now working anymore:
Face id
Camera
Flashlight
I can’t open them from the Homescreen or from regularly app! Pls repair this asap!
Thanks for reporting. But we need more details please: iPhone model and exact iOS 16.1 build number?
Since updating iPhone to 16.1.2 the NOTES function will not sync on iPad with 16.1.1 (no update for iPad)
Thanks for reporting. Are both devices using the same Apple ID?
Yes both using same Apple ID. All other apps sync where require, e.g. email, Messenger. This occurred when I updates iPhone to 16.1.2. iPad apps show phone symbol when IPhone is using same app at same tome except NOTES. I notices after 16.1.2 update syncing Messages had been turned off but sync for NOTES was still active.
