iOS 16.2 Update Problems

julezrules ~ See if re-training Siri's voice recognition helps:

Settings > Siri & Search > Listen for "Hey Siri" = OFF

...Wait a few seconds or a minute and then set back to ON. You should see: Set Up "Hey Siri" – Tap Continue.

iOS 16.0, 16.2 have been the worse releases so far from what I can see and this may be down to the team at Apple silently updating apps and core services to use the new SwiftUI API. From what I can tell (I'm a long standing iOS Developer) iOS 16+ has issues maintaining state and links to other API's when views are redrawn resulting in broken functionality. This also carries over to apps in the background which crash or hang when brought to the foreground.

Speech recognition has always been hit and miss in previous versions of iOS and required extra configurations by app developers to persist session etc. It appears from your issues that perhaps iOS 16 is too much for Speech Recognition.

In my opinion the team need to rollback to iOS 15 core code and work out the fundamental stability issues before proceeding with this single OS path they're heading down. It's great to see this direction but when latest and older devices are suffering the process needs aggressively looking at to identify broken pipelines.

16.3 fixed my issue with the Siri shortcut commands. I am happy. 👍

iOS 16.2 also broke the voice input function. I have a shortcut that calculates a number based on a value input into the device. The shortcut runs fine when I manually type in a number, but if I ask Siri to run the shortcut, the shortcut then goes into an infinite loop of asking for the input value. I hope this gets corrected ASAP as this shortcut is very important to my ability to manage my health care.

For future reference, please, please do not upgrade on launch day to the latest operating system update on any platform (Mac, iPhone, iPad) and nor for a good few weeks. This is so that you can check the kinds of issues people are having with the update.

Exceptions to this rule are: if your device is not your main device and it doesn't matter if it gets bricked/broke; you have a backup and you must have the new features the new version provides or you desperately need to run an app that requires the latest OS to run essential features.

Just bear in mind early adopters run the highest risk of being screwed.

I'm still running iPadOS 15.7.2 on 22nd Jan 2023 when 16.2 is available. I'm not touching v16 until at least its third or fourth patch.

Yes, I'm running the risk of potential security holes that haven't been patched, but there's less chance of me being inconvenienced by a hack than an Apple update. Plus, I'm cautious in websites I visit and files/links in emails.

Buongiorno

anche io stesso problema le shortcuts manualmente funzionano mentre utilizzando Siri no.

Succede prevalentemente *** app di terze parti "Ehi Siri accendi Luci" dovrebbe attivare sensore Ewelink la risposta " Mi dispiace non ho trovato nulla nella tua abitazione ".

Shortcuts presente e funzionante manualmente

Tutto questo funzionante *** IOS 16

after Downloading 16.2, my talk to text, which is how I do most of my typing, is absolute crap. So many more incorrect words. Fixing all the errors takes longer than just typing it to being with 👎🏼👎🏼

It's the worst update I've ever seen with my apple phone. I can't share anything anywhere without my phone completely freezing. Can't simple search without a security question popping up. Probably time for these guys to go back to the office. Can't program the same from a beach in Aruba.

Couldn’t disagree more with this assessment unless your phone is a mission critical item. Most people’s phone is not mission critical and. Would be ok with update after and private and public beta period. I have owned every iPhone since the 3g and have always updated when the new Os is available (never beta). Sure, there are some little things here and there but overall I think it a bit of chicken little to say that bad things will happen if you upgrade to the first version of a née release.

iPhone 13 has become a piece of junk after IOS 16.3 upgrade:( here are the list of issues :

• my ringer does not work any more for all incoming calls
• if I attend a call or make a call , I can’t hear the person on the other side
• none of the videos run (fb / insta / YouTube etc)
• safari just hangs and the screen freezes I use google search

this is my worst experience with iPhone.

Well, let me reassure you that you are not the only one. Ever since I did this last update my phone has been completely screwed up worse than any other time when I’ve done updates and I’ve had apples as long as I can remember. I don’t know what in the world they are doing at Apple, but they need to get back to The old days of quality. When I use Siri now, it’s like I’m speaking a foreign language it’s not even close to working correctly whether I am trying to use it for a text, email or Google search.

come on Apple get it together we all spend way too much money on these devices to have it screw up so badly!!!
