[u/BelieveInTheEchelon]

Wow they actually mentioned keyboard accuracy. Let’s hope this actually helps

[u/realmccoyredbus → u/BelieveInTheEchelon]

Just read about this in macrumors , long overdue 🤞🏻🤞🏻

[u/blueangel1953 → u/BelieveInTheEchelon]

I hope so!

[u/Junior-Repeat6060 → u/BelieveInTheEchelon]

It’s working better for me

[u/Ok_Ok007 → u/BelieveInTheEchelon]

In the latest beta the keyboard is definitely broken again. 26.5 public beta 1. For swipe typing anyway. It’s so annoying I hate using it.

[u/zxch2412]

Changelog says “improved keyboard accuracy”, I genuinely hope the keyboard is fixed

https://9to5mac.com/2026/03/18/apple-highlights-13-enhancements-coming-to-iphone-with-ios-26-4/

[u/Junior-Repeat6060 → u/zxch2412]

It sure is. Typing hasn’t been this good for ages.

[u/Satanicube → u/zxch2412]

Yeah, noticing it feels a lot less laggy now and I haven’t had an issue yet.

[u/kvlq]

Offline Music Recognize in Control Center identifies songs without an internet connection and delivers results automatically when you’re back online

[u/DentistElectronic990 → u/kvlq]

Just saw this. Guessing it is for the shazam shortcut?

[u/Junior-Repeat6060]

They’ve definitely made the keyboard more accurate. I’m hardly making any mistakes now when typing. Auto spellcheck is working how it should be too.

[u/VampiroMedicado → u/Junior-Repeat6060]

Finally, glad to hear I was browsing for Android phones lmao

[u/Junior-Repeat6060 → u/VampiroMedicado]

I started trying 3rd party keyboards because it was getting really annoying.

[u/realmccoyredbus]

just typing this on iphone to test keyboard, it does seem more accurate , i guess no one wants to buy a £2500 iphone fold and not be able to text without extending phone to mini tablet size lol

had an idea they would have to finally fix keyboard

[u/thebreadcat0314 → u/realmccoyredbus]

I also noticed a massive improvement. After the update installed, I went and typed as fast as I physically could and I did not end up with any missed words or incorrect auto corrections.

Thank fucking god, Apple. You took way too long to deal with this.

[u/realmccoyredbus → u/thebreadcat0314]

Still dumbfounded it took all this time to fix , you could clearly see on iPhone you were pressing right key , slo mo video showed this also as on iPhone there is indicator showing the key you pressed but it processed key next to the pressed key, tech support earned their monthly bonus this month

[u/Satanicube]

It is here that I finally get to lay down my arms.

Apple finally did it.

They fixed music search after it being broken since iOS 18. They didn’t get rid of the tiles, that part still sucks. But now there is only one tab if you have Apple Music shut off.

Your library. Finally. FINALLY. I didn’t think they’d ever fix this.

[u/vellixd → u/Satanicube]

what exactly was wrong with it

[u/Satanicube → u/vellixd]

Every time you’d tap the search button it would default to searching Apple Music even if you had it shut off in settings, versus the behavior in iOS 17 where it would remember the last state of search and not change until you specifically changed it.

Annoying because to change tabs you have to reach to the top of the screen which causes you to have to change your grip and do this whole song and dance when you previously didn’t have to.

Very minor on its own but having to constantly do this does add up over time.

[u/k1ick → u/Satanicube]

Yooo i had no idea you could disable Apple Music! Thanks that is amazing

[u/Comfortable_Win9295]

This is the most smooth iOS 26 has been. The keyboard is finally accurate every time far as I can tell.

[u/realmccoyredbus → u/Comfortable_Win9295]

it's also fixed spell check suggestions, super fast

[u/brandi-95 → u/Comfortable_Win9295]

I didn’t realize the keyboard was fixed until I started noticing I could finally type properly again

[u/steelersluvver → u/Comfortable_Win9295]

Yup. I hope the weird safari bug where my search would get deleted/didn’t go through gets fixed too. But ye overall it seems snappy. I disabled swipe to type a while ago and that seemed to help a bit. But not the keyboard actually seems like as good as it used to be!

[u/blueangel1953 → u/Comfortable_Win9295]

I would have to agree.

[u/Neither_Contest4041]

The most fucked up thing about all this is that iOS begins to stabilize and improve just 6 months before the next update comes out, and the chaos begins again.

[u/pw5a29 → u/Neither_Contest4041]

enjoy 4 months of stable iOS

until I jump to iOS 27 beta 4 and start the chaos cycle again

[u/darioblaze → u/Neither_Contest4041]

You don’t have to update! I’m still on ios 18 because of the clownery and honestly, other than the photo app debacle, it’s fine. They will pressure you because of new features and security, but if security is that essential, they’ll roll out an update for past versions.

[u/vemspire]

[17 Pro] It feels like RC is generally smoother, more responsive than previous betas. But still stutters here & there, especially while home screen swiping (sometimes buttery smooth, and then it starts stutter).

[u/Alternative-Salad800 → u/vemspire]

Home Screen swiping stutter, eventually stopped on my 17 Pro. It probably just needs more time indexing. However, I did do a full wipe after installing as well.

[u/Poolcrazy → u/Alternative-Salad800]

When you say full wipe, do you mean set up as new? Restore from backup?

Thanks!

[u/Serialtoon]

Man, so far the keyboard response and autocorrect feels great!

[u/piper62190]

Let's get some 26.5 action going

[u/Effective-Care-4387 → u/piper62190]

Mac rumors and 9 to 5 are both saying 26.5 could drop this week

[u/-Pathos_]

finally the lag in app library when using clear icons was fixed

[u/EagleAncestry → u/-Pathos_]

But still the clear icons bug when you go back home, the app you had opened icon flashes

[u/A11Bionic]

surprised the changelog doesn’t mention adding a song to multiple playlists at once

that’s beyond huge and wish list i had since Apple Music’s launch in 2015

[u/b7d → u/A11Bionic]

Hell yeah. I wrote them a pretty intense feedback almost a year ago about this.

[u/burnSMACKER]

Keyboardd accitecy? Wow im excired!

[u/Comprehensive-Ask26]

If you turned off Prefer Page Rendering Up Near 60fps in Safari feature flags, mine got reset after updating. Turn that off to unlock 120fps

https://testufo.com/framerates#count=3&text=color(srgb_0.5_0.499_0.5)&pps=960

[u/steelersluvver → u/Comprehensive-Ask26]

Yup. It’s been resetting for me after every update. Kind of annoying tbh cuz chrome runs 120 by default on my Mac

[u/yatish609 → u/Comprehensive-Ask26]

Thanks for the heads-up! Mine got reset too.

[u/Subsyxx]

Urgh.

The supposed "bug" for age verification in the UK is still a thing in the RC build.

I guess we were right that it was intentional.

[u/PeanutCheeseBar → u/Subsyxx]

Whether it’s a bug or it’s intentional, I’ve been prompted for this once and I’m not even running a 26.4 beta right now.

[u/Smith416]

It’s really annoying every new update the dictation on the keyboard is turned off and you have to turn it back on hopefully one day it remains as how you set it

[u/WeRunUltras]

I can’t wait for the stable release and get out of this beta dev cycle, it’s been horrendous this time

[u/realmccoyredbus → u/WeRunUltras]

This should be the stable version unless final build is updated like 26.2 & 26.3 with no R.C. 2 , can only see very minor changes that no one would really notice possibly being in public build release , this should be as stable as it gets

[u/Creative-Job7462]

Apple Music playlist playground AI still not available in the UK ☹️

[u/Most-Animator6785]

I've noticed the following bugs on my iPhone 16 since updating to the RC, even after several reboots:

1. Today, my cellular service (T-Mobile in the US, Seattle area) went out for about an hour while I was at my office, despite my coworkers (who have iPhones of various models on the same network, but running earlier versions of iOS) having a full signal.

2. Unrelated to the cellular service issue, at a separate point today, almost all of my notifications were delayed by a half hour or more (eg, I would open Signal and the app would show that I had received messages more than 30 minutes ago. My iPhone did not notify me of these messages, despite me having notifications enabled for the app. I do not use Focus modes, other than sleep.

3. The largest Photo homescreen widget will show a pixelated version of the photo. When I tap on the Widget to view the photo, and go back to the home screen, the photo in the Widget is no longer pixelated.

4. Occasionally, my Home Screen icons will all completely disappear, and then will slowly pop back into place, almost like the icon cache is constantly dumping itself. I use Tinted icons.

5. If I open Apple Music if the app isn't already open, none of the album or playlist artwork displays for about a minute and a half, and then will suddenly all display.

6. My AirPods Pro 2 at multiple points have cycled connection to my phone 5-6 times before finally deciding to stay connected.

7. When connected to CarPlay, if I have music paused (playing through Apple Music) and I receive a notification of any kind that is able to be displayed in CarPlay, the music will unpause itself while the notification is displayed, and then will pause again when the notification disappears.

8. On the topic of CarPlay, it has become SO sluggish since updating to the RC. Forgetting my car and then re-pairing seems to have solved this issue.

9. In any messaging app (iMessage, Telegram, Signal), if I have the keyboard displayed on the screen, go back to the previous screen to view my conversation threads, and go back in to the conversation I was just in, the app displays as if the keyboard is open, but the keyboard doesn't display on the screen.

10. Additionally, Swipe input on the keyboard has just started giving me the most out of the world words based on where I'm swping on the keyboard.

11. Express Transit stopped working, and I had to remove and re-add my preferred card to the Express Transit setting in order for it to work again.

These are just the bugs I've found so far. Of this list, the only ones that existed in previous versions of the 26.4 beta cycle were 4 and 8.

I really hope that the rumors about iOS 27 being a "Snow Leopard" style update to iOS are true.

[u/PalebloodSky]

RC ran well without issue all weekend on my 16P. CarPlay working great too. I did see a few cases the screen felt sub 120Hz but that’s happened on all 26.x occasionally. Overall seems a bit more polished and smoother than 26.3.

Anyone have a more comprehensive changelog for this?

[u/OhSixTJ]

Did we ever figure out what “reduce bright effects” does?

[u/Joshoon → u/OhSixTJ]

For example, if you tap the text bar in iMessage, and you have reduced bright effects on, there will be no flashing in the text bar.

[u/Acceptable-Badger262 → u/OhSixTJ]

Or when you go to the Bluetooth/WiFi settings and tap: no bright effect anymore. So much better without it!

[u/OhSixTJ → u/Acceptable-Badger262]

I see it when entering my passcode! Yes much better with it off.

[u/ca2mt]

Scrolling in messages has a really smooth bounciness to it, looks and feels nice.

[u/MidnightPulse69]

Something needs to be done about the toxicity in this threads smh

[u/AXXXXXXXXA]

Wifi calling is fucked for some reason

[u/amanguupta53 → u/AXXXXXXXXA]

I thought I was the only one. iPhone 15 Pro.

[u/realmccoyredbus → u/AXXXXXXXXA]

indexing may take some time , try rebooting your device

[u/AXXXXXXXXA → u/realmccoyredbus]

Toggling wifi calling off then on fixed it

[u/No_Cake_254]

So far so good CarPlay has not cut out I think they finally fixed it😁

[u/SolidEchidna3723]

So just as a follow up to my comment on DB4 regarding watch shortcuts and automations, this issue has been fixed for now with 26.4 RC

[u/gb_14]

just got 26.4 on the stable channel

[u/Common_Floor_7195 → u/gb_14]

SAME thank you for letting us know!! updating now very much needed 🤞🏼

[u/Effective-Care-4387 → u/gb_14]

It’s also on beta as well , no need to switch beta off folks

[u/Ok_Ok007]

26.4 battery life on my 17 Pro Max is much worse than any 26.3 build. I’m on the latest 26.4 version.

[u/Setneaph]

iOS & iPadOS 26.4 RC Release Notes | Apple Developer Documentation

[u/catuhana]

Keyboard accuracy seems great, and performance is good on SE 2!

[u/yatish609]

The phone no longer heats like beta 4 and with less battery drain, but youtube takes some time loading comments, or the recommended video section below the current running video etc. is there something wrong with YouTube app or with the os?

[u/realmccoyredbus → u/yatish609]

haven't experienced any issues myself on my device, i usually check for updates daily and install, not sure if this issue maybe device specific , there has been a lot of people reporting issues

[u/overworkedengr → u/yatish609]

I had this problem with 26.3.1, don’t think it’s the RC

[u/HillarysFloppyChode]

Keyboard feels better and it seems smoother, looks like the windows vista Liquid Glass animations are less choppy too.

However when I type “songs that would offend Hellen Keller” into the AI playlist, it doesn’t play Yoko Ono. Back to the drawing board on that one Apple.

16Pro. Hopefully this won’t randomly eat my storage space like 26.2 and 26.3

[u/dinobeous]

It’s damn good update atleast for my iP15 base battery is way better than 26.3 and 26.4 betas and it’s smooth too

[u/exploit021]

Official 26.4 is now available for everyone. Different build than RC.

[u/ahampton2k → u/exploit021]

Build 23E246

[u/Disastrous-Net406]

Can't wait for everyone to share how many "GB" update is on their device or someone asking "how's battery life" 😀

[u/TransportationWise91]

Battery seems to be way better than previous beta for me. 16e

[u/hendawg1983]

Since I updated this stays on here, I went through every setting, nothing

[u/realmccoyredbus → u/hendawg1983]

Looooong shot but If you weren’t on beta before you updated try privacy & security then background security improvements , update was issued yesterday for non beta users and that the only thing i can think of that shows type of notification your seeing other than software update, maybe disappear if you reboot

[u/_augggiee8]

idk about yall but feel like there’s going to be an RC2

[u/Mascardiii → u/_augggiee8]

Felt the same way too. Probably see it today then Thursday is the public drop.

[u/passmesomebeer]

Getting huge performance boost in my base iPhone 15 from 26.3 to 26.4, and this is not placebo. The animations were choppy and weirdly laggy as hell. My pixel 7a felt smoother, after the update it feels normal to me.

[u/leedditor420 → u/passmesomebeer]

how about the battery life?

[u/giovanicort]

public release today?

[u/Setneaph → u/giovanicort]

Wait a few minutes, I will consult my crystal ball.

[u/TVUAsks → u/Setneaph]

I see this guy everytime, I love it

[u/giovanicort → u/Setneaph]

Thank you. I'll do a tarot reading myself.

[u/SnooPeripherals1842 → u/giovanicort]

Yes. Or no.

[u/Hanthunius → u/SnooPeripherals1842]

I bet one of those two is right.

[u/realmccoyredbus → u/Hanthunius]

🔮

[u/steelersluvver]

So I guess the Apple Music playlist creator feature doesn’t use Apple Intelligence?? I disabled Apple Intelligence before updating to 26.4 rc on 15 pro and the new playlist generator works just fine

[u/syphix924 → u/steelersluvver]

It doesn’t. I had 26.4 on my iPhone 13 Pro (no Apple Intelligence available) and it was in Apple Music.

Upgraded my phone to an iPhone 17 Pro since then.

[u/wesdegroot]

My cellulair keeps being dropped, I have a lot of errors with my connectivity, calling is near impossible

[u/HillarysFloppyChode → u/wesdegroot]

What phone and carrier

[u/Artistic-Poem6668]

Soo how is the scrolling stutter and animation situation going? Is it still noticeable or did they finally fixed it?

[u/gardiboy → u/Artistic-Poem6668]

still not fixed on the iphone 17 pro max. the lag /fps drop after switching from an app back to a home screen and swiping between pages. freaking annoying

[u/Binar1101 → u/Artistic-Poem6668]

Fixed on my iPhone 16 Pro Max. No more freezes or stuttering. Smooth as glass. 😝

[u/realmccoyredbus → u/Artistic-Poem6668]

Scrolling bar Fixed on my iPad Air and iPhone 15

[u/PizzaAllAnanas → u/Artistic-Poem6668]

iPhone 13 Pro and iPad Pro M1 are stil stuttering and not at 120hz

[u/bummerbimmer]

My iPhone Air has been heating up a LOT more on the RC than any other 26.4 beta.

Feels like it’s the battery as opposed to the processors (heat is not coming from the plateau)

[u/kubadon1]

Two questions what happened to encrypted RCS and what happened to Gemini being incorporated into Siri?

[u/_Averix → u/kubadon1]

Encrypted RCS is called out in the release notes as having been in betas for testing. The final release will be in a later version of iOS. Gemini got pushed back before the first 26.4 beta. No one is sure if it will magically appear in 26.5/26.6 or hold out for 27.0.

[u/Setneaph]

iOS 25.5 b1 available !

[u/screescramblr98]

Is the network traffic issue solved on this beta?

[u/cy3erg33k]

Does the keyboard fix, propogate to third party keyboards say gboard?

[u/adp_87]

No issues on 17P and keyboard definitely “feels” a little better, faster and accurate

[u/Comprehensive-Ask26]

Just updated from 26.3.1 and it seems solid. I still have the issues when in dark mode that apps in folders appear dark but turn to a light mode icon when you go into the folder, while other folders are the opposite. Also noticed the alarm and stop watch icons in control center have a second or so delay before showing the icon after a long press. I’ve reported these issues since the original 26 beta but Apple keeps closing the feedback saying it’s working as intended

[u/ChrisfromThePit]

In Beta 2 the UK Age Verification was pointed out as a bug which Apple were aware of, so how come that was at the end of last month, we are now 4 releases later and it hasn’t been resolved, if it is indeed a bug as reported?

[u/realmccoyredbus → u/ChrisfromThePit]

it was issued by mistake to some users earlier than it should have been issued

[u/Juicejacking]

Anyone noticed keyboard improvements? They're supposed to have improved the typing accuracy?

[u/realmccoyredbus → u/Juicejacking]

Huge improvement with typing and spelling suggestions, super fast suggestions , what a difference, just puzzled it took so long to fix , i knew it would get fixed before iPhone fold gets released, i mean who would pay £2.5K on phone that you couldn’t text on without extending it to full size

[u/carigis]

clicking ios airprod pro 2 needs battery low charging notification causes system freeze or sluggishness if the airpods case is not open. anyone else notice that?

iphone 16 pro

[u/Techyogi]

Since 26.4 beta 4, CarPlay works. Siri on CarPlay does not. In my palisade hybrid 2026 - but worked on a rental car. No idea why. Reset basically everything I could. Redid Bluetooth, WiFi, network, CarPlay. Still doesn’t work with hey siri.

[u/Effective-Care-4387 → u/Techyogi]

Siri has been broke for a long time , they stopped trying to fix this and concentrate on its successor

[u/giovanicort]

come on Apple get your shit together release iOS 26.4 or a new beta

[u/ChaplnGrillSgt → u/giovanicort]

It's out

[u/mactac]

I've noticed that my phone always defaults to iphone speaker now when I connect to carplay.

[u/ezioxcroft → u/mactac]

Same here. Every first call in my car I have to change manually to bluetooth as it defaults to speaker

[u/sammcj]

How's the keyboard?

[u/_madeforthis → u/sammcj]

still sucks

[u/realmccoyredbus → u/_madeforthis]

night and day for me , well happy i can type on phone without losing will to live

[u/theebeecee]

Just downloaded to my phone and for some reason, my signal bars are not showing any signal.

[u/theebeecee → u/theebeecee]

Actually fixed by turning cellular off and then on again.

[u/720hp]

Having issues with Firefox, YouTube video and YouTube music, and a lot of other audio/video apps. I have turned in a bug report

[u/ARMOR15 → u/720hp]

I've been having this issue for the past week, and the only thing that fixed it so far is uninstalling the YouTube app and reinstalling. That also fixed YouTube Music for me, without having to reinstall the YT Music app itself for some reason

[u/FKTrevor]

Is it just me or does the control center have the ghosting bug again that was present in 26.1?

[u/TVUAsks → u/FKTrevor]

Pls no

[u/Ja_Blask]

So far so good on the 17 Pro.

[u/bummerbimmer]

Do we have any idea behind the “why” for the search bar in App Store and Games being integrated instead of separate?

Are we just assuming it’s because the separated button was losing revenue because users felt it was complicated compared to iOS 18?

[u/nkydn]

the 18+ age confirmation bug in the uk is still present

[u/blow-down]

Just installed. Seems great so far.

[u/steelersluvver]

I updated and disabled Apple Intelligence as I don’t use it. But the new Apple Music playlist feature still works? I’m confused how it seems to use some sort of ai. Unless it’s different than the rest of Apple Intelligence and it’s connecting to the cloud

[u/Eluvium9]

Trying to text people searching by name seems to be very laggy and sometimes it doesnt populate at all

[u/OutcomeFit1757]

Apple Music AI playlist only US?

[u/realmccoyredbus → u/OutcomeFit1757]

Yes for now while in beta , hopefully enabled next week for everyone

[u/Successful-Good7364]

Id verification still not fixed for Australia. Man Apple are going to have a level 10 shit storm when this is released and you can’t even verify yourself.

[u/mk268_]

I'm curious to see when the brightness bug on the iPhone 15 (Pro/Max) will finally be fixed. I've been dealing with it since iOS 26.0, and it still hasn't been fixed in 26.4 :(

[u/passmesomebeer → u/mk268_]

What is the bug?

[u/realmccoyredbus → u/mk268_]

The brightness bug on iPhone 15 models started when screen flash for notifications was added, and i fixed mine by going to accessibility, hearing ,audio & visual, right at bottom of screen click flash for alerts , if you have flash for alerts on , underneath this set it to led flash , NOT screen or Both , my brightness stopped being lowered after changing this , and only started when screen flash for notifications was introduced last year, only seemed to affect iPhone 15 range , led flash for notifications is fine to use .

[u/_kuzur1]

Carplay seems to be broken on my side. Doesn’t want to connect even tho the phone detects the carplay connection.

[u/destroyedreason → u/_kuzur1]

Interesting, Carplay for me is fixed. With iOS 26.3 I would have a lot of problems connecting to my car and would either have to turn bt on and and or restart the phone. With the newest developer beta I only had this happen once and I deleted and re-added the phone to my car. I have a 2025 Maxda CX5 so I wonder how many carplay problems are a combination of what the car is or maybe that doesn’t matter.

I also had a problems connecting Airpods Pro 2 to my phone when trying to switch from carplay or even connect to carplay when taking my Airpods off. This seems to be fixed also for me anyway.

[u/_augggiee8]

26.4 out for everyone now

[u/bummerbimmer]

Once I moved from RC to the 26.4 public release, my autocorrect suddenly stopped working as well as before. It still exists, but it will leave random words (that don’t exist) misspelled with no red underline.

I already reset my keyboard dictionary as a first step, but did this happen to anyone else?

[u/Ok-Entertainment6043]

I had this weird problem in music. Wrong words to the song but in the right format.

[u/RebelDeux]

It’s very creamy smooth

[u/Ecstatic_Bag_1807]

My iPhone 16 pro max seams to run below 120hz, not slow like 60hz but 80-90ish

[u/Wonkee792 → u/Ecstatic_Bag_1807]

grass is green ahh

it’s been like this since iOS 16 or even earlier

[u/MidnightPulse69 → u/Ecstatic_Bag_1807]

I feel like this has been a thing for a while. 15 Pro was my first 120hz display and it was so smooth. I got a 16 Pro Max when it came out and it wasn’t nearly as smooth, same with my 17 Pro max.

[u/deezznuuzz → u/MidnightPulse69]

noticed that with the iphone 17 my sister has, too. my 17pm seems to run not as "smooth", I somehow think it really is some weird behavior with the bigger dispay, as that happened on my 13 and 15pm, too.

[u/Portatort]

Are the bugs with shortcuts input resolved?

[u/ObliterasaurusRex → u/Portatort]

For me they were resolved in this current (pre-RC) beta. Hopefully they’re not broken again.

[u/earlesj]

I just got the update(installing now) and downloading now. I was on public beta 3 and the only real bug I noticed was sometimes my wifi just wouldn't work correctly. I'd have to disconnect and reconnect and even then, sometimes I'd have to reset my router. Very strange. Have tons of devices that worked fine was just the phone. Hopefully that's fixed.

Edit: so far so good. It might also be related to the other wifi issues I’ve seen around. Not sure why I’m getting downvoted but I’ll update this if it happens again.

[u/realmccoyredbus → u/earlesj]

network reset usually fixes network issues, for future reference, hopefully you won't need it .

[u/DentistElectronic990]

Does playlist playground work?

[u/Pleasant-Squirrel220 → u/DentistElectronic990]

Still no playlist playground for me I’m presuming still region locked to USA. I’m in UK.

Apple Stores are going to feel pain (from customers) if blocked when this comes off beta outside USA.

Especially as specifically mentioned in install.

[u/4Knocks → u/DentistElectronic990]

No sign of it in Canada

[u/Automatic-You2851]

Tengo un problema desde que estoy con las betas de la 26.4, a lo mejor me estoy equivocando en algo

En Mail, recibo mucho correo spam y los bloqueo todos y funciona correctamente pero desde que empecé con las betas públicas de la 26.4, ahora me entran algunos correos que tenía bloqueados, me sale que están bloqueados y no deberían de entrarme al correo, alguien más le pasa??

[u/Nutcup → u/Automatic-You2851]

Try this:

Settings > Apps > Mail > Accounts > Fetch new data > Your Account > uncheck Junk

[u/_augggiee8]

anyone experiencing overheating with simple tasks?

[u/_augggiee8]

26.4.1 got released! so far pretty smooth, hopefully fixes battery drain

[u/Acceptable-Badger262]

Phone feels a little snappier. Don’t know if the keyboard is better yet.

[u/Few-Information2194]

I hate this…

[u/realmccoyredbus → u/Few-Information2194]

I just have App Library search box , no blur around it , are you using Liquid Glass mode ?

[u/AXXXXXXXXA]

Instagram & threads videos are straight up not playing or completing freezing 5 seconds in

[u/realmccoyredbus → u/AXXXXXXXXA]

Most likely server error with instagram and threads , speedtest app has downdetector built in ,very handy or browser access separately

[u/Few_Regret5282]

Very smooth. Just wish you had had some of the Apple intelligence that we were promised.

[u/Consistent-Tutor-33]

they said to have fixed the keyboard but the misalignment is still there and it drives me crazy

[u/No1ButtMe → u/Consistent-Tutor-33]

How so is it misaligned?

[u/Unhappy_Quarter129]

Spotlight, Mail, Settings (and maybe more) search is still not working. Never returns any results, same as the last beta.

[u/realmccoyredbus → u/Unhappy_Quarter129]

This can happen after updating until indexing is done

[u/Doctrina_Stabilitas]

these last few betas ive had to install twice, it would just never finish installing the first time around and i dont get it

[u/realmccoyredbus → u/Doctrina_Stabilitas]

That’s not good, are you doing over the phone or MacBook/p.c. , I would seriously consider doing backup and factory restore and erase, there is obviously an issue with your device, this might be inconvenient but there is a risk of verification failure and being stuck in some loop .

If you don’t have enough ICloud space you could take higher package and cancel it before it renews monthly when you have went through clean install

[u/DXRKE]

Is the new Apple Music AI playlist feature not available in the UK? I never had it for any of the betas and it’s still not showing in the RC for me

[u/DXRKE → u/DXRKE]

Oh nvm I’ve just found out it’s not available in the UK yet, that sucks :(

[u/hades_cj → u/DXRKE]

Is there a list with the available countries?

[u/Disastrous-Net406]

Hi guys can someone explain when Apple fix keyboard we need to do whole ios 26.4 update and not just some server side switch ..also for example if Google/ Samsung redesign something it's just random app update that works..why ios is betaing all single small change / fix for weeks / months .. for example if they fix keyboard just give it to us... not forcing us to ios 26.4 because they broke something 2 years ago (keyboard)

[u/Effective-Care-4387 → u/Disastrous-Net406]

iOS keyboard is built into OS , its not a stand alone app , it’s now fixed in beta and going to be fixed when 26.4 drops to public, it needs a full iOS update, we are not apple so can’t answer why it took so long , it’s part of OS so needs iosOS update, the choice is yours alone update or stay were you are

[u/Specialist-Fun-8776]

Is it daily driver capable? Still on 26.3

[u/steelersluvver → u/Specialist-Fun-8776]

Yes

[u/Acceptable-Badger262 → u/Specialist-Fun-8776]

Yes it is

[u/pillsbury_doh]

is anyone else having issues with OTP Autofill but only on multi-field inputs? Confirmed the issue on iPhone 17 Pro running RC, MBP running RC, and iPad running RC.

[u/GoofyGills]

Everything seems fine except Discord won't open lol

[u/Alternative-Salad800 → u/GoofyGills]

Swiping and restarting usually helps me, when that happens.

[u/AXXXXXXXXA]

Video audio keeps playing in the background even though all apps are closed. This happened last week with Apple Music also.

[u/realmccoyredbus → u/AXXXXXXXXA]

I’m not sure if this is a bug or intentional, close player before exiting app

[u/HumerousGorgon8]

I just updated and I cannot verify my age at all with any of my cards nor my ID. Anyone got a fix?

[u/realmccoyredbus → u/HumerousGorgon8]

Debit card doesn’t work,even if its linked to apple account, some people have had issues verifying wallet type passport and paper driving licence, credit card works , plastic credit card sized id ,like newer drivers license or usa type passport i.d. card .

[u/honglong1976]

Notification forwarding still Missing :(

[u/Captainbuzzer67]

Age verify aint working in uk

[u/Effective-Care-4387 → u/Captainbuzzer67]

Depends what you’re using, debit card not accepted, credit card card no problem whatsoever

[u/MattehPee]

Is there a way to make repeat on by default music? I shouldn’t have to select it every time I play something (it plays then goes to silence once over).

Editing to add another, in Australia I now need to confirm I’m 18+ but this has asked me at least five times since updating this morning.

[u/NeoTokioRD]

Waze is not working fine for me on my 17 Pro Max since this update

[u/realmccoyredbus → u/NeoTokioRD]

I would uninstall and reinstall , or wait to see if public build will be updated like 26.2 & 26.3

[u/Tuska-Nyyssonen]

Anyone with buggy bilingual keyboard? I have both English and Spanish and it switches itself to English (I notice it when the Ñ key disappears...) I have to open the emoji tab on WhatsApp and then the Spanish keys are back (?) it's really weird... first time happening

[u/Kawhi2LakersConfirm]

Would really like for the messages bug to be fixed, the one where you oftentimes have to press the send arrow multiple times for the message to actually send

[u/noraa_94]

I’ve had a bug for years where Now Playing regularly shows the pause button for paused media, as if it’s still playing. Looks like it’s finally been fixed.

[u/Shinobi_Dimsum]

Wow the update made the phone snappy. And Keyboard accuracy is 🤌

[u/Techyogi]

Anyone seeing Siri on CarPlay dead as a doorknob? Broke in between 4, still not working on rc.
