With the release of iOS 16.3 and company for all users this week, Apple fixed some bugs that were bothering us a lot.
Among them are problems such as the reproduction of content via HDMI on iPhones/iPads, failures in the continuous playback of songs through Apple Music, among others.
Playback via HDMI
As we reported, iOS 16 brought a problem that prevented the playback of content on streaming services when connecting your iPhone or iPad to a monitor via cabo HDMI — due to the technology of digital rights management (digital rights managementor DRM).
More precisely, users complained regarding a black screen and an alert that it would not be possible to transmit certain content. Now, as reported by iMoreone user said the bug was resolved in iOS 16.3, alleviating the concern of those who thought this was a permanent change.
Just want to let you know that the HDMI adapter bug in iOS 16 has been fixed. Several users have reported that they can stream smoothly [via HDMI] now on iOS 16.3.
The fix doesn’t appear in any of the release notes that came with iOS 16.3, so user reports are certainly welcome.
Continuous playback in Apple Music
While also not mentioned in the release notes for the latest version, iOS 16.3 fixes an issue related to continuous playback (gapless) of songs on Apple Music — making the time between switching from one track to another longer than usual.
The bug started to be noticed in iOS 16.2 — so it lasted less time than the aforementioned case, fortunately.
Find people by Siri in CarPlay
The release of iOS 16 also brought a handful of bugs related to Siri’s integration with CarPlay. Some of these issues were fixed in iOS 16.1 and iOS 16.2, but others persisted — and some additional crashes surfaced.
One such bug prevented Siri in CarPlay from properly integrating with the Find My app (Find My). However, in the iOS 16.3 release notes, Apple confirmed that the update “addresses issues where requests to Siri in CarPlay might not be understood correctly” – which includes the issue in question, as verified by 9to5Mac.
You can now ask Siri where someone is and Siri will respond accordingly with that person’s location. This, of course, depends on whether that person has agreed to share their location with you via Find My.
One more problem solved.
