I have also seen isolated reports of issues with Back Tap and password management while complaints persist about battery drain - which has plagued iOS 16 since its release. Further graphical glitches are reported on the lock screen with flashlight and camera buttons missing, and the frustrating copy/paste permissions bug from earlier iOS 16 updates still remains (Apple has promised a fix, but it is not listed in the iOS 16.1 release notes).
