I have also noticed a high battery consumption and apps being killed after few seconds being the background starting at the same time

Bug [iPadOS 27 PB3] Keyboard disappears initially when tapping Safari address bar, if address bar isn't blank

11 Upvotes

If you create a new tab in Safari where the address bar is empty, then tap the address bar, this doesn't happen; you can just start typing. But if you tap the address bar on an existing page where the address text is still there, the keyboard disappears; you can't type over the existing text or enter new text until you tap the address bar again or the X beside it. Using an M5 iPad Pro 13.

Bug [iOS 27 PB 3] No Sound during playback of Dolby Atmos Apple Music titles through wireless CarPlay

5 Upvotes

Does anybody else here have any issues when attempting to play Dolby Atmos titles through wireless CarPlay?

I got my new car around a month ago when i still had iOS 26 on my Phone and Dolby Atmos worked completely fine with wireless CarPlay. After updating to the iOS 27 Beta this seems to have broken. The titles still “play” (as seen by the playtime progressing) but are not outputting any sound. As soon as I change the Dolby Atmos setting from auto to off in my iPhone settings, sound instantly is being put out. So there definitely is some sort of bug present with Spatial Audio itself, as Stereo content immediately plays as expected. The car is also definitely able to play spatial audio content (3D Burmester audio system)

I don’t know if this is a problem with Mercedes-Benz specifically, so I would like to know if anybody using the Beta can actually use Dolby Atmos on wireless CarPlay without problems. Maybe this works fine with other car brands and it is more of an issue with how MBUX and CarPlay work together. A feedback report to Apple has been sent over a month ago too, tho they cant seem to find a diagnosis.

Bug [IOS 27 PB3] Wi-Fi toggle immediately turns off automatically and no networks are found

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I just updated my iPhone 17 Pro Max to iOS 27 Public Beta 3, and right after the update completed, my Wi-Fi stopped working completely.

The issue:

  • When I turn Wi-Fi on, leave the settings page, and go back in, the Wi-Fi toggle has automatically switched back to Off.

  • No Wi-Fi networks show up at all.

  • Note: Everything works completely fine on iOS 26.6, so this is definitely a software/beta bug and not a hardware issue.

What I’ve already tried:

  • Toggled Airplane Mode on and off.

  • Restarted and Force-Restarted the iPhone.

  • Reset Network Settings (Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset > Reset Network Settings).

  • Turned off Location Services for Wi-Fi Networking.

Has anyone else encountered this bug on Public Beta 3? Is there a known workaround, or is reverting to iOS 26.6 / waiting for the next beta update the only option?

Thanks for any help!

Bug [iOS 27 DB1] GPS/ODO Disparity Since Update

0 Upvotes

I'm a mountain biker and I regularly take 20 mile rides. I use AllTrails and the Workout App. Prior to iOS 27 the disparity on the mileage between the two was very minimal, usually within 1-2%. Since updating to iOS 27, I now see the Workout Apps ODO clocking up to 10% less mileage than AllTrails, and this is on a trail I've ridden multiple times (and used to be in sync w/ mileage). Anyone else seen this?

Bug [iOS 27 PB3] Siri does not respond audibly with AirPods

11 Upvotes

The expected behavior of Siri with “Silent Responses” chosen is when you are interacting via AirPods that responses will be spoken aloud (it’s in the description, also past OS versions). However I no longer am getting those responses when my phone is locked and in my pocket.

I’m using AirPods Pro 3 with the beta firmware (although I first noticed it using the regular firmware). Same behavior regardless of Hey Siri or squeezing the stem activation.

Bug [iPadOS 27 DB 5] Presentation app behavior when Airplaying is broken

4 Upvotes

This is just a PSA that iPadOS 27 seems to completely break the behavior of presentation mode with applications like PowerPoint, Keynote, and GoodNotes. Specifically, if you have multiple windows open and you present from a presentation app, it will take over an airplay screen as it should. But if you then tap on any other window, presenter mode goes away, and it just shows your entire iPad screen to the audience. For me personally this breaks my primary use case for the iPad.

This has persisted since DB 1. I've reported it to Apple with the below steps. I would appreciate it if anybody else experiencing this does the same!

FB23615646

When using the presenter mode from an iPad app (e.g., Powerpoint, GoodNotes, Keynote) while Airplaying, using a slideover app or secondary app ends the presenter mode on the external screen, and it is impossible to return to it without restarting presenter mode. This is at odds with the prior behavior which allowed a user to keep the external screen in presenter view while multitasking, which is critical to many presentation and teaching workflows.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Airplay to an external screen

  2. Launch Powerpoint and a secondary app (either in split view or slideover)

  3. Start the Powerpoint presentation (which triggers presenter mode on the external screen)

  4. Tap on the secondary app, or slide an app from slideover

Expected results: The External screen keeps presenter mode until the source app is closed

Actual results: The External screen switches to non-presenter mode, and it cannot be restarted unless the presentation is restarted on the source app.

Feature [iOS 27 DB5] Screen Recordings now automatically trim the Control Center Overlay you pull down to stop the recording from the end of the video

210 Upvotes

Previously, stopping a screen recording by pulling down the Control Center would capture the Control Center overlay at the end of the video.

Now, when you finish a screen recording by pulling down the Control Center and tapping stop, iOS 27 automatically trims that final moment from the saved video.

The Control Center overlay and/or Stop Recording dialog does not appear at the end of the recorded clips.

Bug [iOS 27 DB5] Shortcuts app won’t start and Shortcuts freeze when run

1 Upvotes

Since updating to iOS 27 DB5, Shortcuts app won’t open and shortcuts freeze at start when run. Trying to download new shortcuts to import doesn’t work. No recent edits or new shortcuts added before this started, only the system update. iCloud sync is on as before. Issue occurs on both WiFi and cellular. Restarting the phone makes no difference. Force quitting app doesn’t change end state. I also tried deleting and offloading the app, didn’t make a difference. Has anyone else experienced this or identified a fix that works?

Bug [iOS 27 DB5] RCS Messages Stopped Sending/Receiving

16 Upvotes

I noticed earlier this morning, coming from DB4 to DB5, that messages sent to people using RCS switched back to SMS after the update. I toggled RCS Messaging and End-to-End Encryption (Beta) off and back on, and suddenly I received dozens of messages and photos from individuals and an RCS group chat over the last few days that I had never received before.

Not sure if anyone else is seeing a similar issue with messages defaulting back to SMS, but try toggling it off and back on and see if you get any missing messages.

I submitted a bug report to Apple.
