The changes make it somewhat difficult for users to find the camera. Instead of an easy button to flip the camera, it’s now found hidden under a menu with other things.
4] Countdown Timer not visible
Some users upgraded to an iPhone XS, and ultimately to iOS 12. But when they set a countdown timer, they no longer were able to view it on their lock screen. Earlier, it could be seen displayed right under the clock. To fix this, you may want to use the 24 hours format instead of 12 Hrs format.

Prior to iOS 12, iPhone users could see their phone connected to their vehicle ’s stereo via Bluetooth. After installing iOS 12 there’s a change in the scheme of things. Users no more get turn-by-turn voice alerts when using Apple Maps. Instead, it sends a chirp/bell notification.

- Tap Audio, and then tap the volume level that you want for Navigation Voice.
