Apple Beta Releases

Hi Guys,

I was wondering, what would everyone like to see on iOS 18.5 Beta 1. I know there are still problems with Siri and are getting fixed. Hopefully Apple can speed it up. I can't wait for Siri 2.0.

Also why did Apple decided to wait for iOS 18.5 to fix the Siri bugs when we can already report issues through the Feedback app?

Your Feedback is Important to Improving Accessibility on Apple platforms

Don't assume that Apple is aware of a bug or that your report won't make a difference - submitting bug reports directly to the company helps them reproduce and resolve the issue faster. Your report may provide crucial information. The more reports they receive, the higher the priority they give to fixing the bug.

If you're using a beta version, use the Feedback Assistant on your device to submit feedback and bug reports. If you're using a public release, follow the instructions on this page.

Literally all I want is for Apple to spend a release to really address the long-standing big VoiceOver bugs, but both you and I know that's not going to happen.

Can we guys please... I mean, it's an open community and all, but creating yet another list of wanted feature without reporting clearly to apple will only lead to disappointment which will in turn create more negativity on the forums. I'm especially saying that because we already have a thread about this year updates, and between 18.5 and 19... For us especially in the big schema of things there isn't much of a difference. Anyways.
Report these on as suggestions, if not in feedback assistant at least in the apple beta product forum so other might report it if you can't or don't want to.

People wonder why things don't get done? If you report properly then you can certainly complain if you don't you shouldn't. be clear. What are you doing? Where are you doing the thing that isn't working as you expect? What is the expected result? What is the actual result? Have you submitted screen recordings? Have you followed up if you are on the betas? In otherwords 18.4 beta 1 comes out your issue isn't fixed. You filed it in RC of 18.3. When 18.4 beta one came out did you comment on your feedback by adding more information to say this isn't fixed as of build xxx where xxx equals the current build number? Keep doing that until it is resolved.

Perhaps those who do have familiarity with feedback process can collate feedbacks from here and submit it?
It's also interesting to know if what I am thinking about, others do feel the need for something like that or not.

Feedback should be done by individuals experiencing the issue as they will be able to give more detail. The feedback process is simple, so simple I can do it. Just head into the feedback app and, depending which platform you're on, create a new issue.

Note, the feedback app is only available on beta versions of OS, which is a bit of a shame.

You should actually be able to access the Feedback app on a shipping version of iOS, iPadOS, or macOS by typing applefeedback:// in Safari.

Finding feedback app, That's something really specific and a general user wouldn't know. A general user though, might have ideas on how to improve day to day functions of the phone.
It also grows in to conversations about how an existing feature might be able to help them achieve the same thing, or, if something like that is in the pipelign etc. etc.
Let them speak, those who have time will read and answer. If something nice comes out, what's the harm. Unless the intention is to flood the forum with similar posts, which, In this case, doesn't seem to be honestly.
