Remember, user feedback is vital to making the Apple ecosystem even more accessible

Reporting bugs directly to Apple is vital. Don't assume that they must already know about a bug. Regardless, the more information they have on an issue, the easier it is for them to reproduce and resolve. The more reports Apple receive, the more likely they are to prioritise fixing the bug. Quality and quantity of bug reports both matter.

If you are running a beta release, use the Feedback Assistant on your device to submit suggestions and bug reports. If you are on a public release of the software, this page tells you how to submit suggestions and reports.

Nice

I will check when I get iOS 16.3. Hope they release it on Monday. No issues with iPhone 13 pro but iPad 9 yes.

Awesome!

This is great news! Thanks for sharing!

Would you mind expanding on…

Would you mind expanding on the issue? I'm so used to the bugs now that they're just part of the high quality and premium apple experience...

iPhone used to call the wrong person

People were tapping on a contact on the recent calls list, and an other contact was called instead. It was quite annoying.
However, I am still using iOS 15 and the bug seems to be gone from here as well.

For me no!

Hi, I have an Iphone SE and the bug is still there. I've updated to IOS 16.3.

can't reproduce

I can't reproduce. Reboot your phone. I have the same phone.

Rebooted Iphone but no.

I restarted the iPhone, and even if it seems to me that the bug appears less, it still happens. Less but it happens. And so I still wouldn't trust double-tapping straight to call, because out of 5 times, 2 got me wrong.
To properly test the bug, you need to close the phone app from the switcher, reopen it, be in recent calls, flick then finger up. It happen to be wrong again.
