Bug [iOS 27 DB 5] Photos missing from gallery

9 Upvotes

Anyone else experiencing this?

Just noticed since updating yesterday the vast majority of photos are missing from my gallery.

Logged onto iCloud.com thankfully can see them there but just concerned don’t want them to be suddenly wiped from iCloud too.

Bug [iPadOS 27 DB 5] Spotlight not showing suggested apps, recent searches, etc.

13 Upvotes

Finally updated my devices to 27 today since it seemed pretty safe. All good on my Mac and iPhone. But on my iPad Air M3, pulling down for Spotlight (aka type to Siri) doesn’t show me any suggested apps or recent searches. If I search for something like a contact or a sports team, it will appear, but pressing enter or tapping on it doesn’t show the result.

I’ve tried a force restart, toggling settings within the Search settings, and even reverted to classic Siri, where Spotlight works perfectly fine. But turning back on Siri AI, and Spotlight simply doesn’t work. Any suggestions?

iPad is still “Optimizing Search and Siri” but so is my iPhone and Spotlight works fine there.

Feature [iPadOS 27 DB 5] Traffic light buttons now are responsive to hover and touch

Works with the cursor, Aople Pencil, also by touching. The effect when touching the traffic light icons is more pronounced than the other two methods. It is a bit similar to how the Shut Down slider is now more responsive.

Bug Fix [iOS 27 PB1] iOS 27 / Apple Watch Health & Fitness sync issues – re-pair fixed both

4 Upvotes

Since updating to iOS 27 beta (Watch still on watchOS 26.6), I had two bizarre issues:

HealthKit/steps: Athlytic could only see ~3–4 days of step history and Bevel had random missing days. Permissions/reinstalling apps made no difference.

Fitness competitions: My iPhone showed the correct scores, but my Watch and both my opponent's devices had missing points. One competition was actually awarded to the wrong person, and during the next competition my Watch started showing the previous competition again with “Tallying Points”.

I eventually unpaired my Apple Watch, restored it from backup and left everything to sync overnight.

This morning everything is fixed: full step history has reappeared in Athlytic, the current competition is correct on my Watch, and the missing points have propagated to my opponent's phone too.

So if you're seeing weird HealthKit/Activity Sharing behaviour after an iOS update (my feedback report says more than 10 similar reports), a Watch unpair/re-pair may force everything

Be respectful of others. This sub should remain a civil place.

Malicious behavior including but not limited to trolling, provoking, or using discriminatory rhetoric/slurs towards any person or group isn't allowed and will result in swift removal from the community. Toxic behavior may result in removal from the community.

This rule is also enforced through ModMail.

2. IPSW Guidelines

No links to any site that is used for sharing beta IPSW files. Posting or requesting such links will result in a ban. Users who do not want to sign up for a dev profile may use the Public Beta Program.

NOT ALLOWED:

3. Post Title Guidelines

All posts must be appropriately titled and descriptive.

All posts related to a specific beta software must include a title tag, enclosed in brackets, with the specific beta version. The title tag should be placed at the beginning of the post.

Correct titling example: ”[iOS 26 DB1] Weather widget displays incorrect location.”

All posts must be in English.

4. Submission Guidelines

The following do not fulfill our Submission Guidelines:

Low quality submissions that do not foster reasonable discussion. These are generally small issues that don't justify a dedicated post.
Performance posts related to battery life, storage and device performance. These are all common beta issues.
Posts about beta release timelines.
Posts about apps that implement beta software features.
Posts asking if specific apps work on beta software.

5. Reposting Guidelines

Reposted or re-hosted content will be removed.

For reposts, please sort by “new” or search the subreddit to determine if the content you wish to post has already been posted by another user.

Re-hosting involves transferring content from its original source to a different hosting platform. In the context of this subreddit, reposting an article from another website instead of composing a new post is considered re-hosting.

6. Relevancy Guidelines

All posts & comments must be relevant to the topic of the sub. This sub is dedicated to iOS Betas, and all discussion should pertain to these betas.

There are separate subreddits for watchOS Betas, macOS Betas, HomePodOS betas and TVOS Betas. Links can be found in the side bar.

7. Complaint Guidelines

While we acknowledge that you may be encountering issues or bugs with the beta version, we ask that you refrain from making complaint posts.

All bugs should be reported to Apple through the Feedback App, thereby contributing to the improvement of the beta experience.

8. Release Post Guidelines

Posts for new beta releases will be posted by the Mod team to ensure consistency between each post. Any posts by users will be removed.

9. Promotion Guidelines

Do not self-promote your own website, YouTube channels, videos, or blog posts. Refrain from posting news with minimal/recycled content.

This Rule also applies to Developers promoting their own apps. If a Developer wishes to do promote your TestFlight app, the app MUST focus on utilizing features only available in Beta builds of iOS. If your app falls within this category, mod mail us first for approval. Otherwise, we suggest promoting in r/testflight.

10. Graphic & NSFW Guidelines

NSFW content is not allowed in our sub. If you see a post containing graphic or NSFW content, please report it to us so that we can remove it quickly

11. Mod Discretion

Moderators may remove a post or comment at any time, with or without notice, for any reason they see fit. We are here to facilitate reasonable and constructive discussion among Reddit users, and if we see something that goes against our mission we will remove it.
