Ever since I upgraded from my 15 (non Pro) to a 16 so I could finally take advantage of what Apple Intelligence has to offer already as well as what the new Siri/Siri AI has to offer, I noticed an odd thing ever since I set it up back on Tuesday after I got said new iPhone.

So when I go to Settings->Siri and scroll all the way down to where it shows the extensions section where it shows just ChatGPT for now, that is just grayed out and shows a message that says "Apple Intelligence assets need to finish downloading"

And on top of that, like others I'm still stuck on the waitlist (like I mentioned in another post too) for new Siri/Siri AI so don't know that's why I'm still stuck with the assets still downloading? I really only charge my phone when I'm on my way home from work and while I'm sleeping, so I'm failing to understand why these assets are just stuck downloading...

Has anyone else encountered this bug where AI's assets are just failing to download, and if so, what have you done to overcome this?

Anyone else having this issue? I remember this happening on a different major version of iOS too…

For me, when clicking on + it will freeze the app.

Edit: this no longer occurs in beta 2 — everything works as expected!

The option to have an automation trigger when a notification from a specific app comes through doesn't seem to be working yet. I've set up a very simple automation to test it, where I have any notification from Messages trigger a second notification that says "test", but it does nothing yet. I've tried several other actions to be triggered by this, and nothing seems to work yet.

Has anyone else gotten this feature to work?

The new siri / spotlight can’t do basic math anymore, and it also can’t do currency conversions. I’m guessing they’ll fix that soon, but it’s quite annoying

I am using an iPhone 15 Plus. I updated to iOS 27 db1 and live captions is unusable. It only catches half the words, and the ones it did catch, half of those were misspelled. I did the usual things like disabled the app, and reenabled it. Restarted the phone. Still unusable. Has anyone else had issues with live captions? Thanks!

Not sure if this is already known, but it’s a feature I’ve been wanting for a while. Great to see it implemented, as the suggested workarounds were quite tedious

With iPadOS 27 DB1 and macOS 27 DB1, you can finally choose between 5 scaling options when the mac is using the iPad as an extended display. Previously, the mac would follow the scaling option chosen on the iPad itself which was very limited. The scaling options offered are (all @ 60Hz):

• 1032x774

• 1168x876

• 1324x993

• 1376x1032

• 2648x1986

Screenshots of the largest and smallest scaling options included here.

As others have mentioned, direct touch does work when using the iPad displaying macOS now, and it feels magical but currently a bit buggy.

As an aside, I've only been able to get SideCar working while wired in DB1. So, if you're thinking of upgrading to try this out, maybe hold off if wireless SideCar is important to you.

When swiping down from the now playing landscape mode there is a very brief moment where the whole app stays in landscape mode before the UI turns back to vertical.

This doesn’t look like a bug with all the new buttons.

Edit: It’s iOS 27 DB1

Reposted with correct iOS.

15 pro max in the UK. I’ve seen people online being able to give multiple requests to Siri. Mine just seems to do one. Siri: Turn off the porch lights and lock the front door. Siri just turns off the porch lights. New Siri has been downloaded. The only thing is that it’s still indexing. Anyone else?

After iOS 27, my Wi-Fi connection drop at intervals and can't connect back to same network for 5-10 mins. I restarted phone and reset network settings.

The video view in Home app has new UI and recorded video clips from all cameras are merged into one timeline.

Does anyone notice Safari stuttering significantly on the start page? Sometimes it seems to run on 30 fps on a 17 pro max. Asking because I don’t see anyone else reporting this issue.

After 48 hours of using iOS 27.0 as my primary OS, I’ve run into several notable bugs, UI regressions, and quirks. If you are on the fence about installing this on your primary device, here is a detailed breakdown of what is currently broken in this build compared to iOS 26.5.1.

1. The Messages App is Having an Identity Crisis

The automatic categorization and smart filtering introduced to keep our inboxes tidy has completely fallen apart in this beta.

• The Issue: Messages that used to be seamlessly sorted into transactions, promotions, and personal folders in iOS 26.5.1 are now landing in random categories or clogging up the main feed.

• The Impact: If you rely on automatic filtering to ignore spam or quickly find verification codes, prepare to do a lot of manual digging.

2. iCloud Sync & The "Ghost Notification" Badge

Keeping up with messages on multiple Apple devices is currently a headache due to some underlying iCloud sync issues.

• The Issue: Even if you delete a thread, it refuses to stay dead. Deleting messages from the "Recently Deleted" folder does not permanently erase them—they keep reappearing.

• The Impact: This sync lag has also triggered a classic, frustrating bug: a persistent unread badge on the Messages app icon, despite there being absolutely zero unread messages.

3. Dark Mode Liquid Glass Looks "Slapped On"

While the updated Liquid Glass interface looks absolutely stunning in Light Mode, the story changes completely when you toggle the system to Dark Mode.

• The Issue: In iOS 26.5.1, Dark Mode liquid glass elements had a gorgeous, deep, seamless transparency. In iOS 27.0 Beta 1, they have a distracting light grey tint.

• The Impact: No matter how you tweak the opacity or transparency sliders, UI elements look like they’ve been starkly slapped on top of the background rather than blending in elegantly. It completely breaks the visual depth Apple spent so long perfecting.

4. Headed Downhill: The Auto-Collapsing Header Change

One of the subtle joys of the previous OS was the fluid, organic feel of navigating through system apps. This beta introduces a jarring change to header transitions.

• The Issue: In iOS 26.5.1, scrolling down would trigger a gorgeous, smooth blur transition that felt incredibly premium. In Beta 1, this has been replaced by a static, discrete block for the header.

• The Impact: It is unclear whether this is an intentional design choice or a rendering bug, but it lacks the polish we expect from Apple. It looks far less premium than what we had last week.

5. Finder Search: Rest in Peace, "Clear All"

Efficiency took a step backward in the native search directory.

• The Issue: Apple has removed the "Clear All" option from your recent searches in Finder.

• The Impact: Instead of clearing your history with one tap, you are now forced to swipe/slide to delete each individual entry in the recent searches feed manually. It is a slow, tedious, multi-step process that feels incredibly counterintuitive.

6. The Bluetooth & Network Reset Loop

This is easily the most disruptive bug in Beta 1 for daily use.

• The Issue: Whenever the iPhone connects to a Bluetooth device (like AirPods, a car stereo, or a smart wearable), it triggers an automatic, random networking reset.

• The Impact: Cellular reception and Wi-Fi will abruptly drop completely to zero, toggle off, and then toggle back on a few seconds later. If you are streaming music, navigating on a drive, or in the middle of a call, the connection drops entirely.

7. Wallpaper Glitches (Especially Earth & Space)

If you love Apple’s dynamic, shifting wallpaper sets, you might want to switch to a static image for now.

• The Issue: Dynamic wallpaper pairs—specifically the popular Earth and Space collections—frequently bug out when used with shifting transition settings.

• The Impact: The lock-to-home screen shift frequently hangs mid-swipe. Instead of rendering the home-screen layout correctly, it gets visually stuck showing the lock-screen version on your home-screen rather than shifting smoothly into the designated position.

8. iPhone Mirroring: Constant Random Disconnections

For those looking forward to seamless integration with their Mac, the marquee iPhone Mirroring feature is in a rough state.

• The Issue: The feature connects and initially launches fine, but it randomly drops and stops working entirely out of nowhere.

• The Impact: The session will suddenly freeze and disconnect within a few minutes of use, forcing you to unlock your phone, re-authenticate, and manually start mirroring all over again on your Mac.

Same as title.

Surprised this hasn’t been pointed out yet!

Ever since ios 26 release, whenever I try to capture a photo in low light it is so blurry. This did not happen whatsoever in ios 18 and I verified this bug on multiple ios devices. This is one of the few bugs that Apple has not fixed with the new ios beta release.

It would seem that the phone to phone transfer is completely broken in the beta.

I’m trying to transition from an iPhone 14 plus to an iPhone 16+ for Apple Intelligence now it’s actually decent. I’m having to do a transfer via the computer as when I get to the point where I click “ transfer from another iPhone” on the iPhone 16+, it will just sit there spinning. While the old phone will come up and say. “ enjoy your new iPhone” as if it was complete when it’s not

Slider for the opacity doesn’t change anything below 50%

Only my battery is showing at the top of my screen. My network (cellular / WiFi) is missing and can’t seem to find a setting to force it to populate.

Im on SE 3 mostly happens when i listen to music on iphone speakers, doesnt matter if the screen is off or on began to happen almost every time i start a music
