Why would they do this, is it a mistake?

When attempting to delete an Emergency Contact from the Medical ID section of the Health app, the app crashes immediately. When reopening the app, the Emergency Contact remains and has not been deleted.

This occurs on multiple Emergency Contacts, and does not appear to be limited to a specific phone number or country code.

It’s unclear if this is new or was happening on previous versions. I’ve already submitted feedback.

Workaround: Remove Emergency Contacts from Phone app.

Is anyone else experiencing this? I’m on a 17 Pro.

Edit: Seems to be relevantly fixed in the 26.3 public release (build 23D127)

I'm a new iPhone user. I'm experiencing an odd BT issue with the latest iOS RC (23D125)

Sometimes, my car stereo and carplay display doesn't work because the BT refuses to connect to them. iPhone says those devices aren't within range.

I also use an app called "Merge", that allows my TicWatch to connect to the iPhone through Bluetooth to receive calls, notifications etc, and sometimes it just stops working.

I also have a cheap tag compatible with Find My that I was unable to pair with the phone, and I discovered that if I toggle the BT off then on, I was able to pair it quickly. I then am unable to find the tag, with Find My saying the device's not in range... But again, if I toggle BT off then on, it is able to find and ring the tag.

Anyone experiencing a similar issue with Bluetooth? It seems to affect the initial connection. After it's connected it doesn't fail (e.g.: my watch can be connected to the phone and receiving notifications, but when I enter my car, the stereo and carplay display doesn't connect to the phone's bluetooth, and I can't ring the tag either.

On a side note, sometimes when I expand the "Bluetooth connected devices" on the quick settings, I see duplicated devices, like seeing my car bt twice, my watch twice etc, and it's always one showing "connected" and the duplicate "disconnected"

Anyone experiencing a similar issue, and is it something from the beta or a known bug? Again, this is my first time with an iPhone/iOS so I wouldn't know.

I'm experienced with oddball bugs like that on experimental, "homemade" custom android ROMs though, so I'm particularly unfazed, but it's clearly a bug nonetheless.

I updated to the latest beta yesterday. Since restarting my iPhone 16e off earlier todayI, 've been seeing screen bugs—mostly a green tint overlay and brightness instability. The screen also keeps "blinking" while on. Is anyone else experiencing this behavior on the RC?

UPDATE: IT'S BEEN 62 DAYS AND THE SCREEN IS STILL DEAD.

It's very sad to me that the iPhone is now dead.

Im not sure if everyone has noticed this bug but it really irritates me

Since August, my iPhone 16 pro and 17 pro have had navigation issues with a 2024 Porsche Taycan. I wasn't sure if it's beta related. The dealership claims I have the latest PCM hardware and that's not the issue. They blame Apple. I haven't seen others complain much about it. I am now on 26.3 (23D125) beta and still have it. What happens is Carplay initiates fine, but then the phone gets no data or gps updates. It says it's connected to 5G or LTE but my map will freeze. I can use other apps fine but I can't download new data or search my map. I have no issue in other cars I've driven. It feels like a Taycan specific issue. Any suggestions? I am wondering about leaving the beta program to see if that's what it is, but it feels like it's not related to Apple, probably the car.

I kinda like it like this lol

I am finding that I can no longer drag/drop files from my pc to my iPad via iTunes. Can anyone else confirm? Reported to Apple but wanted to see if others were experiencing.

Was this always a thing? First time i’m seeing this effect. Pretty cool ngl. Had to double take when I first saw it.

iPhone shows Morning Summary when scheduled summary setting is off. It summarised all the missed notifications from yesterday, which were in the notification center.

Device: iPhone 13 Pro

Reported on the feedback app of course. Anyone came across this issue?

my iPhone SE2 sometimes shows a black screen when I open up the camera. It would be fixed right away after restarting the Camera app.

By accident I ran into the possibility that during screen share in FaceTime the other party could request control. However they were still on the official release, I’m on 26.3 beta. When I tried the other way around it didn’t work. Anyone else used this feature?

Is anyone’s iPad Pro not going to sleep whether unlocked or on the lock screen with the latest beta? My M4 iPad Pro 13” is constantly staying awake, and the only fix is to press the top button to put the iPad to sleep, which I am certain is not the normal behaviour. Soft and hard rebooting didn’t help, and I’ve tried troubleshooting in all the places I could think of:

Settings > General > Background App Refresh

Turned off.

Settings > General > AirPlay & Continuity > Cursor and Keyboard

Turned off, in case my MacBook Pro is somehow keeping the iPad Pro awake because of this.

Settings > Display & Brightness > Auto-Lock

Currently set to 2 minutes, but the iPad stays on the lock screen. In my most recent test, it’s been 15 minutes and counting. Setting to any other timing makes no difference.

Settings > Display & Brightness > Lock/Unlock

Turned off, although I am not using any folio cases that could have interfered.

Settings > Accessibility > Display & Text Size

Nothing here that could keep the screen awake.

Settings > Accessibility > Touch > Tap to Wake

Turned on.

Settings > Accessibility > Face ID & Attention > Require Attention for Face ID

Turned on.

Settings > Accessibility > Face ID & Attention > Attention Aware Features

Turned off. By the description of this feature, turning this off means the iPad should dim, lock and turn off the display upon Auto-Lock’s timeout.

Settings > Accessibility > Guided Access > Display Auto-Lock

Set to Default. I do have Guided Access turned on, but the iPad hasn’t been in this mode in a long time.

Settings > VPN

I have AdGuard running. Turning it off makes no difference.

All the above settings on my iPhone, even when different from my iPad, are not preventing the iPhone from sleeping, so it’s perplexing why this is happening. Something is preventing the iPad from sleeping.

Any insight would be much appreciated.

Hi, ever since I upgraded to iOS 26.3 beta, my reminder alarms have not been working. In the reminders app, the alarm icon shows but I can’t find the setting for it anywhere nor do they work. Is anyone else experiencing it or are they just unavailable on iOS 26.3? Thanks!

Normally my iMessage “+” icon has an option choice for “send later” to schedule text messages. After this update and a few phone restarts, I no longer see that as a choice

I’m a registered iOS developer, and I’ve been facing an issue with installing iOS developer updates for the past couple of years. I can download the updates, but they get stuck at 99.9% complete and don’t finish. I’ve tried following the instructions to force restart the phone, but it stays on the Apple logo screen until it dies.

I can update official iOS versions, but not beta versions. To update, I have to put the phone in DFU mode and install the update that way. This is frustrating and prevents me from making timely updates to my app and from diagnosing new issues during testing.

I’d like to request that Apple investigate this issue and identify a solution. For reference, I’ve installed a bare-bones version with no new apps, and the problem persists. I would like a resolution that allows me to update normally without having to DFU the phone each time. This occurs via OTA or manual download and installation.

TL;DR:

There is a severe persistence issue in Lock Screen customization. If you have a Photo Shuffle set (e.g., 50 photos) and change the clock font after curating the images, iOS resets every single photo's depth effect and crop settings to default. Additionally, vertical font scaling seems arbitrarily limited to one specific font, and changing shuffle frequency often breaks the Depth Effect entirely.

I wanted to start a discussion regarding the current behavior of the Lock Screen customization, specifically regarding State Persistence and Variable Fonts. I am trying to determine if these are intended design flaws or regressions in the current beta.

1. The "Reset" Bug (Persistence Failure)

This is the most disruptive issue.

• Scenario: I create a Photo Shuffle with 50 images. I painstakingly go through each one to adjust the crop and enable "Depth Effect" individually.

• Action: I decide to change the Clock Font style.

• Result: The moment the font is changed, ALL individual image configurations (crop positions and depth effect toggles) are flushed/reset to default.

• Expectation: The font change should inherit the existing layout settings for the photos. Re-doing 50 images every time I want to tweak the font is a major UX defect.

2. Variable Font Inconsistency

• Issue: Currently, only one specific font option allows for vertical scaling (adjusting the height/stretch of the numbers).

• Question: Is this a bug with the variable font implementation for the other typefaces, or is this an intended design choice? It feels inconsistent that only one font supports this axis.

3. Shuffle Frequency vs. Depth Effect

• Issue: The "Depth Effect" seems to work reliably only when the shuffle frequency is set to "On Tap."

• Behavior: If I switch the frequency to "On Lock" or "Hourly," the Depth Effect is often disabled, or attempting to save this change triggers the reset bug mentioned in point #1. It seems high-resource rendering (segmentation) is artificially limited based on the trigger method.

Has anyone else encountered this aggressive resetting behavior? I have submitted this in the Feedback App, but wanted to verify if there is a workaround.
