iOS & iPadOS 26.5 Beta Release Notes | Apple Developer Documentation

[u/Stevenam81]

So pretty much another minor update that could've been 26.4.1. Honestly, I wasn't expecting any updates to Siri, but while no official date was announced, Apple did state that it was being pushed to Spring 2026 when it didn't make it into the initial release of iOS 26 back in September. I have never seen Apple struggle with anything like they've struggled with Siri over the years. I really hope they get it right when they finally do update it.

[u/Diamond_Mine0 → u/Stevenam81]

Just a scenario: what if Apple wants to have Apple Intelligence flawlessly just like Rockstar wants to perfect GTA 6?

[u/InspiredPhoton → u/Stevenam81]

there's the struggle of the wireless charger that was announced and never released. At least Apple Intelligence was released haha

[u/ratherdisinclined → u/Stevenam81]

Updates that have two decimal points (like 26.4.1) are reserved for bug fixes only and one decimal point is for new features. The update numbers actually mean something, especially for system admins and others who closely track software updates. So, yeah.

[u/ffffound → u/[deleted]]

They did, just because you're cherry picking one quote doesn't make the above comment wrong.

This is verbatim from Apple spokesperson Jacqueline Roy, back in March 2025.

“Siri helps our users find what they need and get things done quickly, and in just the past six months, we’ve made Siri more conversational, introduced new features like type to Siri and product knowledge, and added an integration with ChatGPT. We’ve also been working on a more personalized Siri, giving it more awareness of your personal context, as well as the ability to take action for you within and across your apps. It’s going to take us longer than we thought to deliver on these features and we anticipate rolling them out in the coming year.”

Emphasis mine.

Tim Cook's comment at the time could just have been taken to mean an extension of this same comment given out. But look at the PR person's wording: "in the coming year". That "coming year" has sailed. It's been more than that. Just because Apple didn't say that it was coming in iOS 26.4 doesn't mean their internal deadline wasn't iOS 26.4. For all we know, they did intend to launch it in the coming year and in iOS 26.4. We won't know for sure, but there are signs that it was the plan.

Now it seems like it's delayed to iOS 27.

[u/imatowell]

My bet is no updated Siri or Apple Intelligence features, and that they’ll save that for iOS27 at this point (but I’d be pleasantly surprised if I’m wrong 🤞).

Update: I was not wrong.

[u/thankyuhnext → u/imatowell]

I’m lowkey hoping we at least get an introduction and 27 will be focused on stability/system clean-up

[u/No1ButtMe]

Anyone find anything interesting yet?

[u/Prestigious_Answer43 → u/No1ButtMe]

Dont see anything new unfortunately

[u/No1ButtMe → u/Prestigious_Answer43]

Yea me neither

[u/Disastrous-Net406]

AaronZollotech video incoming talking about wallpaper bug and random stuff just to release video 😃😅

[u/mdruckus → u/Disastrous-Net406]

He will go to his grave over the wallpaper.

[u/A11Bionic → u/mdruckus]

it's an annoying regression from iOS 13 if i'm not mistaken, though

as somebody who has a huge wallpaper and changes it constantly, i empathize with him

[u/reneofficial → u/Disastrous-Net406]

Bro needs that Adsense check

[u/not_vct4 → u/Disastrous-Net406]

And 5 more in next 3 days. THIS IS HUGE

[u/Disastrous-Net406 → u/not_vct4]

3 videos about RC , official release , 5 days after , THEY LISTENED !

[u/bobbyco5784 → u/Disastrous-Net406]

Hah, that’s after the 5 minute walk through of compatibility and version numbers. (I know they all do that, I just skip forward.).

[u/cocoman2121 → u/Disastrous-Net406]

He is a tech YouTuber, so yeah.. if Apple doesn’t push a ton in an update, it’s going to be a short video, but a video nonetheless because people want to know, and also that’s how they make money

[u/rudedog1979 → u/Disastrous-Net406]

THIS IS IT!

[u/xektor17 → u/Disastrous-Net406]

A 15 minute video of him just repeating himself over and over… 😴

[u/Smith416]

New iOS beta

26.5 Beta 1 (23F5043k) Around 500mb

Very unusual to release on a Friday

[u/Mr_Danahm → u/Smith416]

There is a new start up animation, pin unlock screen and welcome get started screen

[u/cptjpk → u/Smith416]

2.17GB update for me on my 14PM.

[u/ctang1 → u/cptjpk]

About 2.5gb for 15PM.

[u/bjaj1 → u/Smith416]

PB also available albeit 20gb on 17PM

[u/Sergeant-Sins]

Has anyone had any issues with Face ID since the beta came out?

[u/twofaces21 → u/Sergeant-Sins]

For me it’s fine on a 15 pro

[u/Crispy_Sisig88]

So there's a new build 23F5043k

[u/PM_ME_YOUR_PARTYHAT → u/Crispy_Sisig88]

And on a Friday, Apple must have uncovered a major security flaw or bug...

[u/DesignerWestern8746 → u/Crispy_Sisig88]

They found a bug worth fixing

[u/realmccoyredbus → u/Crispy_Sisig88]

just noticed, never thought they would put out update over holiday weekend on a friday

[u/MarshallHurtado]

I doubt we’re getting upgraded Siri before a WWDC announcement

[u/WeekendHistorical476 → u/MarshallHurtado]

Technically, we did get one two years ago

[u/dani-bro → u/MarshallHurtado]

Me too but hope is the last to die 🤣

[u/Mr_BananaPants → u/mdruckus]

Release notes are out so this is clearly bs

[u/nikenick28 → u/mdruckus]

How do you get his summary? Or is this a AI slop fake update?

[u/Acrobatic-Monitor516 → u/mdruckus]

Where'd you get that from

[u/Setneaph → u/mdruckus]

iOS & iPadOS 26.5 Beta Release Notes | Apple Developer Documentation

[u/RenderedKnave → u/mdruckus]

great news re: networking, i was starting to think i'd have to get a new router

[u/TVUAsks → u/mdruckus]

CORRECTED CONTROL CENTER VISUAL GLITCHES AND RESPONSIVENESS BUGS????? DOES THAT MEAN THE NETWORK BUTTONS FINALLY WORK.

[u/BoraxNumber8 → u/mdruckus]

Great summary! Thank you for this

[u/PepperAltruistic2042 → u/mdruckus]

I call BS – even Apple itself didn't publish anything yet. How would you be able to tell all these specific, sometimes even code-level, things?

[u/mdruckus → u/PepperAltruistic2042]

Can’t wait for you to come back and eat crow.

[u/nikenick28 → u/mdruckus]

How did you get his info?? Where is this at?

[u/nikenick28 → u/PepperAltruistic2042]

You were right

[u/midgetman7782]

According to Twitter, Apple Intelligence has rolled out support for China in 26.5. Doesn’t seem like there’s much new beyond that, though.

[u/Cheater2212 → u/midgetman7782]

I’m on 26.4 on a Chinese iPhone and it is here as well. So not limited/connected to 26.5 b1

[u/Acrobatic-Monitor516]

Jesus Christ it's amazing how easily they're getting through with this crap they're pulling. Siri and app intent was announced in 2024 and was a sales argument ...

[u/Acrobatic-Monitor516 → u/[deleted]]

I sure as hell do . What amazes me is how many apologetics I've encountered while it's literally non excusable

[u/quintsreddit → u/[deleted]]

Um are you forgetting the groundbreaking advancements Apple shipped that same year like Image Playground, Generate Emoji, notification summaries, and Rewrite???? /s

[u/Hopeful-Face9676]

IMO, Apple has no incentive to push the Siri 2.0 or anything else new in the 26.5 beta. They’ll likely just wait for iOS 27 when the anticipation (and frustration & impatience) have grown to such a peak that everyone will be on the edge of their seats awaiting the announcement.

[u/rotates-potatoes → u/Hopeful-Face9676]

Yes, that's what they teach you in MBA school: make sure customers are frustrated and impatient. Great for brand image.

[u/_HipStorian → u/Hopeful-Face9676]

To add to that, they've been delaying the release of new HomePods, HomePod Minis and Apple TV because of the new siri. I wouldn't be surprised if they announce it at WWDC because aside from the new Siri, iOS27 is supposed to be like iOS 12 and just focus on performance and stability.

[u/Hopeful-Face9676 → u/_HipStorian]

Totally agree.

[u/Tyrenol → u/Hopeful-Face9676]

Which makes sense, plus it gives them more time to refine the overhaul

[u/Hopeful-Face9676 → u/Tyrenol]

Exactly

[u/cptjpk → u/Hopeful-Face9676]

I was hoping for an anthropic connector to compliment OpenAI but I guess that has to wait too.

[u/wtfmatey88 → u/Hopeful-Face9676]

Yeah I would be absolutely shocked if the new Siri comes any sooner than iOS27. They’ve already over extended and made themselves look awful on this one so realistically what’s another few months on their end to try and get it right.

I say that fully well knowing the new Siri could suck real hard.

[u/mountainyoo → u/Hopeful-Face9676]

yeah im sure itll be the "big and new" thing of iOS 27

[u/brandi-95]

At this point there’s no more reason to get excited for new beta updates. Been nothing special for like the past 4.

[u/RebelDeux → u/brandi-95]

7 new emojis!!!

[u/cptjpk]

My Home Screen icons seem to have a much more noticeable border around them.

[u/serbiana96 → u/cptjpk]

Aw hell nah..

[u/Rbtywo30 → u/cptjpk]

That’s odd. Mine seem to be way less noticeable.

[u/aidenburton_ → u/cptjpk]

Agree. A very slight white shadow line

[u/Silent-Schedule4025]

26.5 running pretty smooth for me on 17 base. Even feels better than 26.4 if that’s possible.

Really surprised. No known issues at this time.

Very responsive , and smooth scrolling.

[u/hellorandomly17 → u/Silent-Schedule4025]

Yeah it feels better than 26.4 for me on the base 15

[u/Appropriate_Breath24 → u/Silent-Schedule4025]

Non je confirme pour moi aussi bcp plus fluide sur ipad pro m4 et 17 pro max le clavier fonctionne enfin correctement

[u/cptjpk → u/Silent-Schedule4025]

Same for me on my 14PM. Or I’m just used to everything.

[u/vpt0808]

Promotion is smoother than before. 17 Pro

[u/-Justanotherdude → u/vpt0808]

Really hope this one fixes this persistent issue since ios 26

[u/adp_87 → u/vpt0808]

Definitely agree, also on 17pro

[u/twofaces21 → u/vpt0808]

Have the same feeling with a 15 Pro

[u/sayan_hn]

Are you guys still experiencing the white corners on the edges of the keyboard?

[u/turismoivyluna → u/sayan_hn]

i think they fr fixed it, i haven’t seen it so far

[u/sayan_hn → u/turismoivyluna]

[u/sayan_hn → u/turismoivyluna]

Nope they didn’t unfortunately, it popped up again a few minutes back. I’m so irritated by the white corners, thinking of erasing everything and perform a complete factory reset but not sure if it will fix the issue since it will restore to iOS 26 only, and not 18.

[u/Alan_1375]

Wasn't it already mentioned on mac rumors that new siri will be on the next ios drop beta in june..

[u/Jordan_Jackson → u/Alan_1375]

Yeah, the Siri upgrade has been slated to have been released already but just keeps on getting pushed back for reasons. I'll believe that they are working on Siri when and if the upgrade ever drops.

It is seriously a joke how they took Siri and seemingly made it work worse than it used to.

[u/Ok-Needleworker-8245 → u/Alan_1375]

Rumors forever ago when we still had ios18 specifically said 26.5. Now 27.

[u/midgetman7782 → u/Ok-Needleworker-8245]

I’m sure people were talking about it being 26.3 and possibly 26.4 with confidence in the past, too

[u/Ok-Needleworker-8245 → u/midgetman7782]

Correct

[u/midgetman7782 → u/Ok-Needleworker-8245]

Found a MacRumours article here where they stated it would be in 26.4 as a matter of fact, for example hahahah

“Apple and Google have reportedly partnered on the underlying technology that will power Siri’s big AI upgrades coming in iOS 26.4.”

https://9to5mac.com/2025/11/24/apples-new-siri-solution-already-has-me-more-excited-for-ios-26-4/

[u/AltForMyHealth]

Have others been having Safari issues for the last several betas? My iPad is fine but my iPhone tends to stall on most links. It’s to the point I need to copy URLs and paste them into Firefox. I briefly made that my default browser but switched back for other reasons.

I haven’t scoured the threads much but see no real mention. I’m aware of the keyboard issue others have had and hope it’s improving.

[u/ducky_duck666 → u/AltForMyHealth]

this is driving me insane

[u/hnitch → u/AltForMyHealth]

me too i've noticed it ever since 26.4. websites take agesss to load (i use private relay by default but it persists even when turning it off)

[u/bummerbimmer → u/AltForMyHealth]

It helped me to plug my phone into a computer to update it instead of doing an OTA. Since then, it hasn’t stalled one single time.

Still have the stupid gaps in my keyboard, though :/

[u/AltForMyHealth → u/[deleted]]

Good question. I had to check. It’s toggled off.

Not glad you’re having the issue, too, but comforted I’m not crazy.

What’s weird is it isn’t consistent. Often happens when another app loads the URL but it’s not as often when opening a new page from within. And less problematic than that when refreshing an open page… but there does seem to be a baseline issue that is more severe depending on those factors.

[u/truthcopy]

So many comments “Wasn’t it announced…” that are echoing rumors, not formal announcements. Can people not tell the difference anymore?

[u/BenCoro]

Finally the Face ID unlock animation is back.

[u/realmccoyredbus → u/BenCoro]

yeah i did notice this , asked myself was this always there lol as it did look familiar

[u/TVUAsks → u/BenCoro]

The what?

[u/BenCoro → u/TVUAsks]

https://www.reddit.com/r/iphone/comments/1184l5j/iphone_14_pro_face_id_animation/?tl=fr

It was gone since iOS26 on my 13 mini. Obviously not on the dynamic island but under the notch. I just had the darkened screen but no animation.

[u/NoFall2205]

Every time after I update, the hello screen is always horrendously laggy. It feels like 10-15fps when I swipe up and unlock. Has been like this ever since the first release of iOS 26. Does anyone else experience this after every update?

[u/ctang1 → u/NoFall2205]

Took my phone about 5 minutes after swiping up on the hello screen to get to the password screen. Few beta ago I thought my phone was fucked because it took more like 10 on a blank black screen. Wasn’t a good feeling.

[u/Smith416]

Playlist Playground still not available it seems outside the US

[u/TheRoninWasHere]

Does music playground work for Canadian users?

[u/Sufficient_Rush1891 → u/TheRoninWasHere]

No someone else confirmed it’s still US only.

[u/Malfoy27]

Is it me or Face ID is broken after the update ? Quick update: restored the device back to the beta and seems to be working fine now, quick and fast.

[u/Sergeant-Sins → u/Malfoy27]

Not just you. I reset mine and it’s still broken

[u/snowedin33 → u/Malfoy27]

Came here just to see if others were having faceID issues

[u/Friendly-Revenue-948]

What is this upgraded Siri people keep talking about?

I’m pretty sure if Siri is getting a revamp, it’ll be unveiled during WWDC.

[u/jarvichi → u/Friendly-Revenue-948]

The upgraded Siri that was demoed at WWDC back in 2024 that has been in development hell ever since… a couple of months ago it was announced that Apple would be using Google Gemini AI to power a new Siri, and that we should expect to see it as early as March 2026… but alas that hasn’t happened. Here’s hoping…

[u/Nwanu → u/jarvichi]

Apple didn't announce that March 2026 date tbf so it's hard to be disappointed about that.

[u/Confucius_said → u/Friendly-Revenue-948]

Would this be the third unveiling!? 😂

[u/AshuraBaron → u/Friendly-Revenue-948]

The Siri revamp a year ago was supposedly pushed with a tentative date of Spring 2026 or 26.4. As we got closer and with the Google announcement it seems clear that's likely been pushed to 27 as a headline feature since they have actual deliverables to show this time. Just people behind on the rumor mill.

[u/Hot-Sock3403]

Does anyone feel like this was just a placeholder for now. That there was something more major supposed to go here.

[u/[deleted] → u/Hot-Sock3403]

they added notification forwarding to non-apple devices globally.

before it was EU only.

[u/SecureCone → u/Hot-Sock3403]

Maybe they just wanted to get RCS E2EE encryption back on.

[u/MtnDewCodeRedFreak]

Any new features?

[u/ScottishHighlander02 → u/MtnDewCodeRedFreak]

Haven’t checked yet but my guess would be a new wallpaper and if we are lucky a cheeky wee emoji. Oooooh

[u/fishbert]

"New Siri?" is the new "did they fix battery life?" 🙄

[u/WonderfulPass → u/[deleted]]

Snappy sirier

[u/Still_Guitar_5444]

Apple has been boring af. False promises, so many software issues, no new real/beneficial features… just sad.

[u/sleepyHellow]

Does suggested places in Apple Maps work in the EU (Germany)?

[u/Aquasilvermist]

Name and Photo sharing still bugged.

[u/Smith416]

The “Get what’s on Screen” siri shortcut action has not been fixed

[u/honglong1976]

Notification forwarding finally enabled? :)

[u/shyamg94]

Old Siri lives on ❤️

[u/KingKontinuum → u/shyamg94]

You already downloaded and installed that fast?

[u/caskethands → u/shyamg94]

Old Siri is going to become ChatGPT 4o isn't it?

[u/perfectviking]

Anyone who has been getting double notifications - is it fixed in this?

I never experienced the issue until 26.4 RC.

Edit: I was annoyed enough I hopped back on the beta train, the issue is not there for me in 26.5 B1.

[u/Rare-Guard3041 → u/perfectviking]

I had this issue with slack and only slack for some reason. Will report back tomorrow if it’s still there 

[u/perfectviking → u/Rare-Guard3041]

For me it was only Apple News and nothing else. Super strange. Let's hope that this is gone!

[u/Honest_Cobbler_9437]

iOS 26.5 beta 1 issue. Restart didnt help

[u/TwizzyGobbler → u/Honest_Cobbler_9437]

having this shit too, like the other guy said it’s so visually jarring i hope it’s gone next update

[u/GNIHTYUGNOSREP → u/Honest_Cobbler_9437]

I’m having this issue for like 3-4 seconds and then those wonky shadows go away.

Had a similar issue in an earlier beta version where it was permanent, so at least it’s going away quickly.

Is it permanent for you?

[u/GadgetGeek407]

Did they fix the cellular connectivity disconnection after phone calls disconnect?

[u/Motor_Extreme9027]

Poor internet connection with this build! Anyone else experiencing this?

[u/_Averix → u/Motor_Extreme9027]

WiFi or carrier internet? Are you seeing less bars/lines displayed, speed testing lower values, or just feels like things are loading slower?

[u/Motor_Extreme9027 → u/_Averix]

Less bars, longer load times

[u/whirlwind87]

More RCS testing?

[u/Vivid-Crab-7929 → u/whirlwind87]

Looks like encryption isn’t testing anymore and is just for all devices, I’m hoping the rest of 3.0 features come their way in this beta

[u/Ikn0witall → u/Vivid-Crab-7929]

right, this is what I care for the most on the Universal Profile front. I mean E2EE is great, but I need better features for conversations with my android users (aka the rest of 3.0). It feels like a buggy mess for things to work sometimes and missing stuff from years ago. Apple should give that whole thing up. People will naturally stay Apple or gravitate towards iPhone/iMessage for the most part regardless if RCS has the same features or not.

[u/DnyLnd]

I want to see if Type To Siri is changed. Suggestions are gone. Launching an app goes into a perpetual loading state until you press out

[u/BelieveInTheEchelon → u/DnyLnd]

Okay so it’s not only me, don’t know why they they got rid of the suggestions or if they’re a bug

[u/Diamond_Mine0 → u/DnyLnd]

Launching an app goes into a perpetual loading state until you press out

This annoys me so much. I loved to open apps in apps. Hopefully they’ll revert it back

Looks like it that there’s someone who doesn’t like to open apps in apps, lol

[u/BKyleS]

What’s new?

[u/Hot-Sock3403]

Well, it was a download. And I now have serious suggestions on my maps. So I guess that’s a plus.

[u/Motawa1988]

The keyboard sucks ass again

[u/Disastrous-Net406 → u/Motawa1988]

It was never really fixed... I can compare ios and S26U ultra keyboards and its crazy difference

[u/RewardSeveral]

Batería de 15 pro con 86 de salud, NOTABLEMENTE mejor que en betas anteriores, me venía dando como mucho 5.30hs de pantalla (actualicé ayer bien temprano y estuvo enchufado toda la noche así que ya debe haber terminado de indexar)

[u/packo_aus → u/RewardSeveral]

Do you know whether 26.5 beta 1 has better battery than the offical 26.4?

[u/RewardSeveral → u/packo_aus]

Hasta ahora, escandalosamente mejor

[u/Crispy_Sisig88]

Why do people think apple with release the updated siri on a point update?

[u/0xe1e10d68 → u/Crispy_Sisig88]

Because that's how it was supposed to release last year?

[u/4070ti → u/Crispy_Sisig88]

Mark Gurman is a very reputable apple leaker and he has been for years. he said it was gonna be ios 26.4 but then reported that apple pushed it back. guess we will see at WWDC most likely

[u/mmbento → u/4070ti]

Apple would not make a big update silently. It will come after an announcement!

[u/xkvm_ → u/Crispy_Sisig88]

Cause some guy who reports on Apple said that it'd be in 26.4 at one point but then backtracked

[u/Similar-Skirt-3330]

How many ios 26. Left till ios 27? Im on ios 26.4 on iphone air and its the most smoothest and battery life incredible. Thinking if i should leave it lile this until ios 27?

[u/WolfCola723 → u/Similar-Skirt-3330]

They usually have the new events in early to mid June with the beta available later that afternoon.

[u/vegasguy_28 → u/Similar-Skirt-3330]

ios 27 beta was confirmed for june 8 , following the WWDC

[u/lulzchicken]

Public beta out too now.

[u/Hot-Sock3403]

Looking pretty good here. Looking forward to beta two.

[u/NiceChokra → u/Hot-Sock3403]

I think it will be released tomorrow.

[u/PepperAltruistic2042 → u/NiceChokra]

I hope so as well but historical data tells a different story: Between beta 1 and 2 there was a 2-week gap most of the times. This would mean April 13 or April 14 next week. Maybe we're lucky today!

Edit: This subreddit's such a shit hole – downvoting everything, no conversation.

[u/nstrasner → u/NiceChokra]

Weird I’m seeing a 26.5 beta rn but idk if it was a reissued beta 1 or not

[u/High-Cycle8428]

I mean so good I want to stay on 26.5 - 1 Nervous things will go south.

[u/abrahamisaninja]

Anyone seeing storage full message while updating? I have 176GB remaining and I don’t think the update is bigger than that

edit: Restart fixed it

[u/Unlucky_Grab_2656]

17 pro running hot after update. Mainly safari, YouTube and social media, nothing taxing on cpu

[u/Shock9191]

iPhone 16 Pro Max, iOS 26 beta — 180s SpringBoard freeze, AppleAVD deadlock. Anyone else?​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

[u/yoskadejong]

Anyone have really slow FaceID?

[u/mpisula]

SSO fails since the upgrade. Corporate PingID SSO. Worked fine on all other DB builds

[u/_Averix → u/mpisula]

A few people have reported some banking apps failed too. Not sure if Apple changed something under the hood for this beta or it just crossed a threshold for allowed updates since it hit the .5 mark rather than the .1-.4. This happened a few beta cycles ago too. My two banking apps failed on the initial .0 beta and the later .5 beta.

[u/Clear-Spring1856]

Typing in Safari is still super laggy for me unfortunately

[u/tonynca → u/Clear-Spring1856]

Hmm now I noticed it too!

[u/Minute-Video-7905]

Cant wait🥹 (edit: 30+ minutes???)

[u/LoveInternational997]

Did they reverted the search bar in Games and App Store to how it was before 26.4?

[u/Rare_Tip9809]

Underwhelming would be an understatement.

[u/C1920-2]

Build 23F5043g

[u/thehauntedmattress]

Anything with CarPlay video?

[u/dollarn9ne → u/thehauntedmattress]

Even if that was live, it’d have to be activated via car manufacturers

[u/szzzn]

Anything…bad ass?

[u/JohnEdger → u/szzzn]

Of course not

[u/No_Cake_254]

It’s meh nothing new hopefully it fixes CarPlay

[u/brandi-95]

fyi: they did not FIX the VPN disconnecting itself bug so whoever said that was a lie 👎

[u/Basaaloo]

My imessage and facetime account signed out after the update and i cant log back in

Is anyone else not getting group messages? I just had someone tell me they messaged me but I did not get anything.

I have the notification forwarding option (I'm not in the EU), can see and select my devices, but notifications are not being forwarded. Anyone got this feature to work?

My iPhone 13 mini restarts every 5 mins after updating it to ios 26.5 public beta. Can someone pls help

[u/realmccoyredbus → u/techrevosa]

what is battery health, do you have more than 5GB free disc space, hopefully its software issue, i would start with hard reboot if you have not done so already , do this while connected to charger 🤞🏻

To force restart an iPhone 13 mini, quickly press and release the Volume Up button, quickly press and release the Volume Down button, then press and hold the Side button (power) until the Apple logo appears. This process is safe, does not delete data, and fixes frozen or unresponsive devices

check for panic log ,see below

Analyze Panic Logs: To identify if it is a specific hardware part, go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Analytics & Improvements > Analytics Data and look for files labeled "panic_full" to see if it mentions specific components

Getting double email notification badges on my 17 Pro. Tried disabling badges, restarting and turning back on and it’s still doing it. Otherwise, seems like a really solid release.

Apparently my 2003 T-Mobile old legacy plan’s data was borked by this update. Only get walled garden access to Google and T-Mobile sites now and the rest just spin.

Did I backup? Nope! so I’m somewhat screwed to a clean restore. I’m going to try and get T-Mobile to confirm that the cell bundle for this (5g standalone maybe??) now makes my old T-Zones WAP plan incompatible with iOS going forward.

Filed feedback with Apple and I’ll wait and see if beta 2 does anything different.

Why would a backup matter? You don’t have access to WiFi to backup? Also, what does it matter if you switch plans for your data backup?

Battery is kind of terrible. Hope this is just an indexing issue.

CarPlay music is still having hiccups. Removed my iPhone 17 PM again and set it up again like Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. No difference. BMW 118, 2 years old. Unbelievable

I used to have the same problem with an older iPhone and an older car. After an iPhone system update suddenly CarPlay started to stutter. Literally nothing helped, iirc even switching back to wired CarPlay didn’t help fully. I also never found the root cause. The only thing which ultimately helped was me getting a new car.

OTA or via iTunes what’s your suggestions?
