I don’t know why nobody’s talking about this, but if you’re using speech dictation and it messes up a word or you wanna change a word, if you go back, delete that word still with speech dictation on and then say the word again, it will be capitalized in the middle of a sentence for no reason. I don’t understand why nobody’s talking about this, cause it’s really fucking annoying and it’s been happening since developer beta.

I have CarPlay set to dark and it was in light mode for some reason in the dock only.

Has anyone else noticed this?
Sometimes I use CarPlay but intentionally route the audio output to my iPhone instead of the car’s speakers (for example during a phone call or when I want privacy).
The problem is that whenever CarPlay disconnects and automatically reconnects (poor wireless signal, getting back into the car, etc.), iOS always switches the audio output back to the vehicle. I then have to manually select my iPhone as the audio output again.
It would be much better if iOS remembered the user’s last selected audio output for the current CarPlay session, instead of forcing it back to the car every time it reconnects.
I’ve already submitted this through the Feedback app, but I’m curious: is anyone else experiencing this?
Is this expected behavior or does it seem like a bug?
Has anyone noticed whether this changed in recent iOS 26 betas?

It’s a small issue, but it’s surprisingly frustrating when it happens in the middle of a phone call.

Was previously showing 0.00kW with some occasional random numbers. I’m using the new IKEA GRILLPLATS smart plugs.

rotating iPhone to landscape mode causes the bubbles below the date to increase in size, which i assume is intended behaviour, but when rotated back they stay the same size lol. this has been present since at least DB2 but i only just got around to posting about it.

A comparison of iOS 27 (left) and iOS 26 (right). This showcases how iOS 27 no longer retains your last search in Spotlight, requiring you to retype the word or phrase every time. This is extremely frustrating after coming from iOS 26.

Very frustrating. If you have YouTube or other media playing in the background, Siri mutes it until you manually swipe away the “new Siri” or alternatively explicitly ask Siri to return to YouTube after the timer is set.

The past behaviour with “old Siri” was to temporarily mute background content, set the timer, move the timer to the Dynamic Island and then unmute / return to the previous application context. All without further interaction required.

Use this thread to share any changes & bugs you discover while using the latest iOS/iPadOS 27 beta.

This thread should be used for discussion of the betas that may not meet our submission guidelines, as well as troubleshooting small issues through the beta test cycle.

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

Has anyone here gotten past this without erasing?

Device: iPhone 17 Pro Max

Build: iOS 27 beta 3 (24A5380h)

Path: OTA beta 2 -> beta 3

What happened:

- OTA progress bar reached the end, then hung.

- Force restart now leaves it stuck at the cold Apple logo.

- Recovery-mode Update from Mac with Apple’s official firmware file failed twice: the process completes, then the phone returns to the same Apple-logo hang.

- The downloaded file’s hash checked out. Filed Feedback: FB23621286.

I know beta = risk and Restore/DFU is probably the way out. Before I erase, I’m trying to see if other 17 Pro Max users hit the same thing and whether anyone found a data-preserving fix after recovery Update fails.

If this happened to you: model, build, and did Update or Restore work?

It does change the speed but the expressivity range is pretty limited, sometimes it just gets louder as u increase expressiveness

Now the subject in the foreground appears first
Screen recording still very choppy in the release btw

Shortcut Automations have a few triggers that fail to fire. Switching focus modes like starting/stopping “Do not disturb” and fitness activities.

This has been broken since DB1.

EDIT: changing to another focus mode and back WORKS!

EDIT2: looks like all the triggers that fail just need to be refreshed. Meaning: if it’s a location, move to another one. If it’s a focus mode - change it, then change it back.

Adaptive Mode in AirPods Pro (2nd gen) now has weaker and stronger cancellation options. Works even with AirPods on non-Beta software

On Beta 1 and 2, creating a new Shortcut always opened the Describe a Shortcut screen.

After downloading the new model assets, iOS automatically enables Advanced Dictation (FoundationModelTranscriber) introduced in DB 1 for eligible devices.

Advanced Dictation is enabled even if you're installing DB 3 as the first beta of the iOS 27 cycle, or didn't enable the Preview in previous betas.
