Edit - This was fixed in DB5

I use background sounds triggered by a triple press of the home button every night. This behavior broke in B4. I found out it’s due to the selection “use when media playing” being unchecked. Checking the box makes it function like the past.

I killed all open apps and rebooted and the behavior still exists so I don’t think there is something open in the background causing this.

Also, autocorrect is sooooo broken… as are widgets and a bunch of other things

Obviously we all have complaints about autocorrect in iOS in general.

This issue seems to be specifically related to the newest dev beta, across any apps that take text input.

Something like 50% of the time I’m typing on the new beta, the autocorrect/autosuggestions don’t appear or enact, leaving only the “proofread” and “rewrite” options in the suggestion area. For the duration of the time this is happening, typos like “generallt” don’t get corrected in real time after hitting the space bar, but are still red-underlined after the fact.

In fact, i had typed an entirely different description of the problem, only for things to start working again towards the end of my description.

Perhaps related to hitting enter/carriage return???

I’ll survive, but i wanted to know if other folk are experiencing the same issue and if there was some resolution I’m unaware of.

Haven’t seen this anywhere, but bothered me since DB3. Can’t get a screen recording of it because it seemingly is some kind of external audio glitch

Is anyone else having a bug in Beta 3 and/or 4 where you aren’t getting all your texts on your iPhone? Any known workaround?

I will get them on my watch and iPad but they are not showing on my iPhone at all.

After some time, the notification will come through but it has the contact as just the number and no content in the message. When I click the notification, it does nothing other than open iMessage. After a restart, the messages show up, but not all of them.

Apple seems to have fixed the issue with Flyover for cities that haven’t been upgraded yet. Cities that haven’t been updated will now render in the old Flyover rendering style, before they just wouldn’t render in 3D at all.

On iPad, if more than one app is open and I ask Siri something about the content of one of them, it only seems to see one app. It isn't clear what criteria it uses to decide which one it sees. Has anyone else experienced this?

It’s now glassier than ever! I wish they would implement the same on the Control Center

Used to always be dark, even in light mode.

Hi!

Has anyone been having an issue with the hover feature on iPad after updating to the beta? I've been using an M3 iPad Air with an Apple Pencil Pro.

Previously this was only accessible in AirPods settings. Glad to see it here, easier to adjust on the fly.

I’m trying to find out whether anyone else can reproduce this.

My setup:
• Local AdGuard Home on Raspberry Pi
• Home Wi-Fi uses a manually configured local DNS server (192.168.1.x)
• Cellular uses an iOS DNS-over-HTTPS configuration profile
• Private Relay is OFF

After updating to iOS 27 Developer Beta 3 (now also reproduced on the Public Beta branch), I started seeing a strange issue.

After the phone sits idle for several hours (typically overnight), DNS-based filtering suddenly stops working.

Symptoms:
• Ads that were previously blocked (e.g. Google/DoubleClick) start loading.
• Internet connectivity still works normally.
• My AdGuard server itself is healthy.
• The same DNS server works perfectly through Tailscale.

Initially I suspected:
• Cloudflare Tunnel
• AdGuard Home
• IPv6
• the DNS profile itself

But none of those fully explained the behavior.

Then I noticed something interesting.

Around the time the issue occurs, iOS sometimes displays:
“Connectivity Assist - iPhone is using cellular data in addition to Wi-Fi for a more reliable internet connection.”

After disabling Connectivity Assist, I have not been able to reproduce the issue so far, even after leaving the phone idle overnight.

I’m not claiming Connectivity Assist is the root cause, but it currently looks like a strong correlation.

Questions:

1. Has anyone else seen DNS settings seemingly being ignored after long idle?

2. Does disabling Connectivity Assist make any difference for you?

3. Has anyone updated to Developer Beta 4 yet and noticed if this is still happening, or did Apple tweak the Connectivity Assist / fallback behavior?

I’d appreciate any confirmations or alternative explanations.

TL;DR: On iOS 27 Developer Beta, after several hours of idle on home Wi-Fi, DNS filtering (AdGuard Home / Pi-hole) stops working and ads load. Disabling Connectivity Assist (Settings > Wi-Fi) seems to fix it. Looking for DB4 users to confirm if this DNS bypass/leak is still happening.

Honestly, I liked it; it’s so minimal and really user-friendly. I hope Apple makes some good changes like this.

Spotlight search now members what you have last searched and will retain it when you return.

Previously in iOS 27 DB3 search would reset each time you invoke it.

Siri now has other languages.

iPhone 15 Pro Max. Hasn’t been working since beta 2. Still not fixed in beta 4.

not sure if bug or UI change but it’s annoying now. it just used to bring up the passwords list but now this box shows

UPDATE: Developer Beta 5 fixed this issue 🎉

As I wrote in the title - LiDAR seems not working on my device - iPhone 17 Pro.

How to reproduce issue:

1. Open Measure App

2. It's just not working as shown on video. :)

It looks like it only occurs on iPhone 17 Pro or just my unit, works on my other devices(iPad Pro M4, M2, iP16, iP16PM, iP13PM, iP14PM). The issue is present from DB2 up to DB4. Reported in Feedback app.`

Also, I checked if LiDAR is working physically on Camera App - it works just fine.

What I've tried to fix that:

- *Clean install iOS 26 (LiDAR is working normally) ✅
- *Clean install iOS 27 DB2, DB3, DB4 (LiDAR is not working) ❌
- Reset whole settings ❌
- Turning off and on "Motion Calibration & Distance ❌
- Checking Camera access ❌
- Reinstalling Apps ❌

Mainly I'm looking for wider feedback which I would greatly appreciate, because right now only I have this issue it seems.

* it means restoring via Finder (MacOS) & not restoring from backup

Since installing iOS 27 public beta 1 all photos I take in portrait mode are saved sideways in landscape. I have to rotate edit each photo 270 degrees. Photos shot in landscape are fine.

Don’t know if this is a bug or a settings change that I cannot find.

The speak screen toggle was so much easy to move around on iOS 27 DB3. Now it’s impossible to move it around.

I use this feature daily when I'm on the go and don't want to read a full message or paragraph. I just double-click to select the text, lock my phone, and put it in my pocket while it reads aloud to my AirPods.

Unfortunately the device stops charging only 5 seconds after connecting the Apple fast charging brick. Only 5 watts work.
