That’s a possibility, but there are quite a few other people on the Web who are complaining about the same problem, so I think I’ll just wait to see if Apple might fix it. As I said, as long as I don’t try to change any text tone assignments my exsiting custom text tones work OK even though they aren’t visible under Sounds & Haptics. By having custom tones for each person I can tell by the sound whether it’s somebody I want to respond to immediately or not. I guess I would say I have audible text message screening.
I’m having problems with AirPrint (to an Oki connected to my network via Ethernet) on my 12 and 15 iPhones though not my iPads. The printer firstly wouldn’t show at all (rebooted router and both iPhones). Now it’s selectable but, when commanded to print, tells me there are ‘printer errors’ which isn’t terribly helpful. The iPads print without an issue.
There were, of course, no previous difficulties AirPrinting. Still working on a resolution.
My 12 mini (w/ 17) AirPrints to my HP 451dn (also on Ethernet). Not wanting to make you feel you’re going crazy (that’s what computers are for…), but maybe it’s printer specific? Changed any settings on your printer?
Thank you. I hadn’t changed anything on the Oki but you have a very good point. I’ll check the settings. My MacBook and Mac Mini AirPrint properly but then I haven’t updated the OS on either…yet.
Is anyone else running iPad OS17 on an iPad Pro having issues with FB videos? I click on play, and within a second or two, FB crashes. I open it again, start to watch again, and the same thing happens. It does not happen every single time, but at least half the time. I never had this issue prior to the most recent FB and iPad OS upgrades, and I am not having it with YouTube videos. Any suggestions? I have shut down and rebooted the iPad several times, but that hasn’t fixed the problem.
I’m glad that I was only able to update to iOS 16.7 this week on my iPhone 12 & iPad Mini 6. Meanwhile I will keep my iPad Mini 5 on iOS 14.4.2 until the replacement for a critical application is out of beta.

I had a problem with search in Calendar on my new iPhone 15 Pro. For example, searching for “Dr” would only find recently entered appointments, even though browsing showed that the older ones were still there.
I found a solution in Apple Discussions: switching off iCloud Calendar in Settings->Apple ID->iCloud->Show All->iCloud Calendar, then deleting when asked, waiting a few minutes, then turning it back on. It took a while to restore (from iCloud), but when done, search worked on all entries.
So this is an annoyance I haven’t encountered before iOS 17.
Now that 17.0.3. is out, I’m as usual holding off until there’s more experience and no reports of more serious issues. But of course my iOS 17.0.2 has detected that there’s an update. And so now, every time I go to Settings, I’m not returned to where I last was, but I’m returned to the page screaming at me that the update is ready to go. This is especially annoying while tinkering with Settings for Mail where I have to go back and forth between the app and Settings frequently to test changes. Instead of ending back up where my Mail settings are, I have to drill out of the update pages, and then back down to the Mail settings. Every. Single. Time.
Apple, wth? I know there’s an update. Your incessant badge and showing me the page once did the trick already (not to mention every Apple site telling me that my niece’s dog will die tomorrow if I don’t immediately install this life-altering update). At this point I’d have to be a complete imbecile not to get the message. But here’s the rub, I am purposefully holding off. Your urge to get everybody to update at your earliest convenience does not trump my wish to not yet update my very own device that I paid for. When you pay for my iPhone, you can dictate the terms. But until then, stop bullying me with these 90s MS tactics. /rant

That’s a weird hill to die on. 17.0.3 fixed a zero-day (though it’s a local attack, so, sure, maybe not a critical need for most people) and patched the overheating issue in iOS 17 (whatever it was) but added no features. I get the point you’re trying to make, but I’d see holding off on 17.1; why a minor update?
(If you’re into anecdotes, if anything my battery seems a little better on 17.0.3, but really I don’t have enough data. But so far all of the 17s had seemed to drain battery faster, and it’s been a couple of full days of better battery with 3, so this one is welcome.)
In 17.0, and still in 17.03, the timer alert on my iPhone 12 Mini defaults to Radial and (appearances to the contrary–in my case Crickets shows as checked) cannot be set to anything else.
I started this thread and I"m still having problems. The significant increase in battery drain is well-documented. I was already in need of a battery replacement before the upgrade and the upgrade made the situation much worse. I proceeded with replacing my battery and that definitely helped, but it didn’t cure the problems I had with apps loading very slowly. Virtually all non-Apple apps get stuck on the splash screen for several seconds, and many apps crash after about twenty seconds, but then load normally after that. The one exception is the Amazon app, which crashes every time. I’ve tried deleting and reinstalling it, several times, with no change.The phone freezes up for several seconds whenever loading content that used to load instantaneously. It’s enough to make me downgrade if I can’t find another solution.
Again, I have a 256GB iPhone SE that has served me well of over 3 years, and see no need to upgrade for now. My next step will be to reset my iPhone to factory specs, but that’s not undertaken lightly as it means setting up a number of things from scratch, including every app that uses Touch ID. That’s better than buying a new phone, though.
One more thing on a related note, the battery drain on my Apple Series 8 watch is much worse after the upgrade to Watch OS 10. I used to get nearly a day and a half of use out of a charge, and now I have to recharge more than once a day.

The update went smoothly. Most important might be the security updates with 17.0.3.
I installed iOS 17 on my iPhone Xs Max a few days ago. I have experienced some freaky behavior with posting text messages in textareas, such as with Facebook, for example. For one thing, the textarea where you type is so small. You can only see about three lines of text.
As if that is not enough, I can only scroll down a little bit before my iPhone refuses to scroll down any further to the end of something I am typing. The only way I have found to get around this is by hitting my return key a few times, and then deleting those extra lines. Then I can again see what I am typing.
In all fairness, I should add that my battery health is down to 59%, so that could possibly have something to do with the freaky behavior too, but I am not certain of this. I should also add that I have no problem in the Notes app, or in the Messages app. So, maybe the problem is actually with the Facebook app itself. Has anyone else experienced this kind of issue with the Facebook app?
I don’t have Facebook installed, so I can’t comment directly, but a bug in the Instagram app was implicated in the iPhone 15 overheating problems, so it seems entirely likely that Facebook would have similar issues.
Overall, iOS 17 has been fine for me, though I do notice a few more ads showing up on Safari than I used to see. (I haven’t been using any ad blockers on iOS.)
Wait! WHAT???!!! You don’t have Facebook installed? What kind of weirdo are you?

I use dictation a lot with Duolingo to improve my pronunciation. It seems to have had a makeover with iPadOS 17. Some things have improved a little, but the annoying new thing seems to be that stopping the dictation cuts off the processing of what you’ve said. Previously, I would say something, turn off the dictation, and wait for the text to appear. Now it seems that I have to wait before turning the input off. This is both Finnish and Swedish.
The Anti Social Media weirdo. I think it’s a toxic hellstew that’s actively damaging to individual mental health, real-world communities, and large societal structures. And sure, lots of people use it entirely innocuously, but that usage is what feeds the sausage factory that’s busy combining personal information with eyeballs.
It’s like disposable plastics or fast fashion—seemingly innocuous on the face of things, but deeply problematic at its core.
