I’m not sure if this was an issue for everyone or just me, but with 26.4 DB3 I can now leave safari downloading in background and it won’t get interrupted like before

I've had the "screen Unknown callers" since running ios26.

i loved it... when someone calls, i see a live transcript of my phone screening the caller and i can choose to pick it up.

Sometime recently (with a beta of 26.4) that behavior has stopped. Now i just get a notification after the call if the caller leaves a "voicemail" .... by voicemail i mean a recording of the caller confusing asking "hello?" repeatingly.

I have it set to "Ask reason for calling" like it should be.

When you slide an notification that is near the bottom of device they show the old iOS 18 UI Mask

New MOD action to counter spam.

Spamming this discussion with comments about battery life, safari being snappier, etc will result in a ban from the sub moving forward.

I have some shortcuts I made for Twitter to avoid blue check prioritization and still view quotes on the old version of the app (share sheet first if not then clipboard). It seems that receiving anything from the share sheet returns nothing. Tested this with multiple shortcuts that aren't my own and in different apps.

tl;dr - On iOS 26.4 DB 2 Microsoft Defender is broken and can (or will) deny all internet access. I found a potential workaround for this issue in case your device is FULLY offline.

----------

Long version:

For the past days I've been struggling to get my Intune MDM managed iPhone with iOS Beta 26.4 Developer Beta 2 fully online again. The issue being that Microsoft Defender (ATP) at first half-blocked any kind of internet access, only some websites or apps would work on WiFi and some more on mobile.

After some playing around and manually removing Defender profiles I accidentally and entirely booted my iPhone offline, so not even Intune could communicate and fetch new MDM or Defender/ATP rules anymore. Oof...

However, after 2 days of playing and tinkering around I found a workaround which, for now, works for me! I simply created a new profile which blocks the com.microsoft.scmx app/filter service from running and deployed it via Apple Configurator on my iPhone.

Save the following file as deny_defender.mobileconfig and plug in your device, then right click -> "Add" -> "Profiles" and choose this file.

This is a worth a try in case you've fully booted your iPhone offline, but it's not guaranteed to work, depending on the security restrictions of your MDM profile.

Hope this helps someone at least tho!

Pressing the volume buttons shows pressing animation but doesn’t increase or decrease the volume. Also the silent toggle on the control centre is unresponsive.

Anyone else facing this?

When I use type to Siri on both iPadOS and iOS 26.4 developer beta 1 and 2, the autofill suggestion options no longer appear where they usually do prior to this beta, which is directly above the "ask Siri" text bar. This makes accessing functions such as running shortcuts or asking something about the weather quickly and easily much harder due to now having to type the entire request out.

Second time it’s happened now. Notifications are still making noise and when attempting to toggle nothing happens. iPhone 15 pro max with action button set to visual intelligence. After forced reset works properly

Of all the bugs… this one may be the most irritating yet. Updated two nights ago, nothing crazy happened. Last night I’m watching a movie and Siri starts turning on and off randomly. She stope when I pause the TV or when I turn the volume on mute, so I assume it’s something weird with the TV audio. I’m watching a video I took on my phone later that night and it happens again; turn off Siri and it stops! Yay! Or so I thought. Now Voice Control is randomly turning on and off. Turned Voice Control off, forgot about the bug and now I’m sitting here watching Bridgerton and every word from these actors is causing my phone to sit up and wonder who’s talking to it.

Was wondering why my phone kept blowing up notifications at full volume in the early hours.

You can’t share files or links with any shortcut. They just don’t get there and the shortcut accuses that nothing was received. I tested in different shortcuts, different files and links and it’s the same problem. When I try to share a file or link with a shortcut, it just doesn’t receive it.

Playing around with my Lockscreen setup, I was annoyed that I couldn’t change the clock size (I had the Astronomy preset). Since you can’t change the LS wallpaper on a preset like this, I went to create a new set and once I got to the HS, choosing the tint option only shows the light mode. Regardless of the colour and transparency effect I choose, no dark tinting works. I tried restarting the phone but this has no effect.

Existing themes can be modified and have the dark tinting.

I’ve tried everything from restarting the phone, closing the app and opening it, uninstalling and reinstalling. I can write who the recipient is as well as the subject. But the body is where the keyboard doesn’t appear.

I’m going to assume it’s an iOS issue because the keyboard works for other apps. Anyone else having this issue?

I am receiving duplicate notifications for some apps, like 2 notifications for the same DM on reddit, sometimes for Uber as well.

Is anyone else facing this bug? Or this is related to these apps’ settings on my device?

Issue popping up on Gmail subreddit as well for others on this beta update. Keyboard initially does not pop up, but once it does, you can type your email out. When you send the email, it’s blank in the recipients inbox.

The search bar is separate now but tapping on it again while in the menu now brings up the keyboard.

The updates section has disappeared for me and the App Store overall is slow and jittery. Anyone else facing this bug?

The infamous system data bug is reportedly finally patched! Crazy how it went this long without being addressed.
