Since it won’t be too long before iOS 16 is officially out, I thought I’d start a thread for hearing aid/hearing app performance differences in iOS 16 vs. iOS 15.x.
A quaint observation to start out with is that I can no longer force close the ReSound Smart 3D app when I think it’s gone south, and I want to force it to reload. In iOS 15.x when you have an app open, swiping up from bottom to top would normally kill an app. Apple encourages you not to do this and says things go better if you just let all your apps “sleep.” And the Smart 3D app used to actually have a little pop-up box asking one not to force close (“please don’t do that again” type of message).
Now when I swipe up from the bottom, the Smart 3D app refuses to be killed and go off the top of the screen, the visual cue that iOS provides to let you know you’ve killed an open app. I still get into situations occasionally, though, where the 3D app has somehow hung up and automatically decides to reload itself.
I’d be interested to know when other folks get iOS 16 (I got it through being in the BETA trial), how their MFi HA app behaves relative to any effort to force close the app. Since the myPhonak app is more of a regular app, I’d predict that one will force close same as always.
