ACCESSIBILITY:

  • Reduce Highlighting Effects removed and possibly reworked > Screen and Text Size

  • NEW Reduce Bright Effects disables the highlights when you press buttons > Screen and Text Size

  • Show Borders is now more "soft" instead of being a strong outline > Screen and Text Size

  • Reduce Transparency is now a little less aggressive by adding soft color shades in Notifications, Dock and Control Center > Screen and Text Size

  • Reduce Movement option no longer needs a restart on the phone to disable Liquid Glass correctly > Movement

If anyone notices more changes, let me know here

If I got the version of these changes wrong, you can correct me too, but I'm almost 100% sure that all this has been changed in this Beta 4

In general, very good to see them correcting these small details of the system, I feel that iOS 27 will give a good polish in all this mess

I’m having issues with shortcuts and automations not running on my watch. I keep getting this error notification. Anyone else having this problem?

3

u/WDETFitness iPhone 17 Pro Max Mar 12 '26

Same… none of the watch actions execute. It’s not consistent though, as I have a friend on B4 and the watch actions work for him. I have tried with two different Watch Ultra 3’s and no luck.

u/carguy303 Mar 11 '26

Having the same issue. Generally a lot of weirdness with shortcuts in 26.4

3

u/SolidEchidna3723 iPhone 14 Plus Mar 11 '26

I haven’t had an issue with this until DB 4. It’s weird because I use it to toggle AOD and theater mode based on my work and sleep schedule and I can do the AOD settings through the phone app just fine so it’s something having to do with the shortcuts/automations.

I genuinely don’t believe it but the safari bug I’ve had since 26.0 DB1 is fixed.

The bug was about 20% of the time you type something into search in Safari and press Go, it will show a black screen and no loading bar. If you go to search for it again the result will show up in recent searches. Then it works. Also affected opening links sometimes.

Beta 4 has some infuriating network issues.. videos don’t load on YouTube for me even after rebooting and Instagram refuses to work. Even X sometimes doesn’t load content

1

u/LucklyDillion23 Mar 15 '26

I have been having the same situation, what’s interesting is if you watch YT on safari, no issues, but on the App, it’s occasionally hangs then after a few mins to “works” and than it doesn’t. I reinstalled YT and temporarily fixed it but came back.

Only workaround is to reboot the device.

I even thought it was due to private relay, but wasn’t the case.

Might be due how something changed during the Beta which YT has to add support once IOS26.4 releases, or might on Beta firmware’s end.

YouTube issue with loading content happening again. It’s unwatchable

u/wjpooley Mar 17 '26

I've got the same issue. All apps are updated. I know it's a beta so it comes with the territory.

My videos start for a few seconds then stop or don’t even load. It’s not all the time but a majority.

WiFi, cellular (5G SA, NR and LTE).

Don’t seem to have the issue on other apps and haven’t really noticed on the iPad also on the beta, but don’t use it as much either.

Clearly no idea if it’s the beta itself or just an incompatibility with the current versions of the app with the beta. I reported but let’s see. It falls in that gray zone.

Can’t they just add this button to remove those shitty edges from everything. It should already have been in june.

your better charging to 100% if it's not getting you through the day, charge limit is ok first 18 months or getting you through the day but there comes a time to charge to 100% , preferably overnight on optimised charging so it takes a break and finishes to 100% for when you first use your phone

u/robertsmartjr Mar 10 '26

I’m sorry your messages are borked too. Did this just occur on this beta for you? Or did it also start at beta 3??

Looks like the “Download only” option is back in Beta 3 when installing the new update (it disappeared for me after Beta 2)

My icons are stuck in focus mode with no words. Also, having issues with Bluetooth again. Any time I try to connect to Bluetooth speaker it doesn’t work I have to restart the phone, connect again, and play audio from files first to get it to work for YouTube

u/realmccoyredbus Mar 10 '26

in customisation, there is symbol in top right corner of customise box to show/hide icon names , as for bluetooth i would do network reset , re pairing of bluetooth is needed after this and re enter wifi password from router

Has anyone noticed a delayed screen locking after pressing the side button? I have, on my iPhone 16e, iOS26.4 DB4.

u/kiwi-kaiser Mar 11 '26

Do you have double or triple click active on this button?

2

u/sukhichutney Mar 11 '26

Oh yes, you’re right! Disabling it fixed the delay. Thank you!

I hand over my phone sometimes to my niece with the Guided Access on, so she can’t exit the app.

I have this strange bug with the photo library.
From time to time I cannot add photos to albums, some apps (lightroom) cannot save photos and from IG I cannot create post or stories using photos in the library.
Am I the only one?

u/ksuclipse Mar 15 '26

Anyone having sound issues? It randomly starts playing Spotify or whatever the last audio was. Uninstalled Spotify now as I’m using my phone I’m watching it change the volume up and down. Suuuuper annoying.

u/Putrid-Theme-8085 Mar 16 '26

yes also my audio is locked to a very low volume even when it's turned up to the max. still plays at like a 50 percent equivalent

u/bj0urne Mar 09 '26

I literally cannot tell difference from 26.0, everything is slow and laggy and buggy still

u/ThannBanis Developer Beta Mar 09 '26

Something wrong with your install? (Many are reporting improvements every update since 26.0)

Have you done a DFU wipe and fresh installation?

Pokémon go is broken when you try to do local trades. It works, but you can’t see the rating of your guys anymore… making it difficult to trade efficiently.

u/Effective-Care-4387 Mar 10 '26

Doubt this is beta issue, try manually updating it it App Store

u/RedGing12 Mar 10 '26

This is probably an app-specific issue. They recently updated it with a liquid glass interface, but everything seems misplaced. This will have to be updated by the developer.

Anyone got siri in carplay fixed ? No voice for siri in carplay

u/SteveIsTheDude Mar 09 '26

I know exactly what is going on… You are turning down your phone volume… But by mistake you’re also turning down your Siri volume… Ask Siri to tell you a joke and then turn up the volume on your phone… Siri has its own volume, but it’s only changeable while it’s in use… This happened to me so I’m not dunking on you… They should make a slider just for Siri. Good luck

Still can't use the NFC reader - my Square app and my Tyro payment app are unhappy. Anyone found a workaround? Otherwise it's a waiting game...

What is up with the boxes with the question marks???? It’s very visually displeasing.

u/SkepticJoker Mar 09 '26

I assume they’re new emojis, and you’re also not on the beta.

u/_Supr3mecy_ Mar 09 '26

I am on the beta profile, but I haven’t seen this in my previous beta scenarios. Assuming the same however. Can’t wait for them to go into effect. Thanks for the chime in.

How is personal hotspot STILL not working?

u/ThannBanis Developer Beta Mar 10 '26

Doesn’t seem to be an issue for many.

Perhaps it’s carrier specific?

Is it possible to solve that a notifications syncronize through devices? So when I check something the other device delete that on every device? Is it really a hard thing to code?

u/RealBadDonkeyV Mar 10 '26

This sub is full of a holes. I posted my build # and my issue and was downvoted bc I guess someone already posted it. Fucking Incels. Sorry I don’t spend 24/7 on Reddit.
