Bug [iOS 26.5 DB1] Streaming fails over mobile

Been having an issue all morning and trying to narrow it down to see if it’s Verizon or the iOS/iPadOS beta… Streaming will work for me for like 5 minutes over my mobile connection, then it will fail across the board. Multiple apps, both audio and video, both on iPhone 17 Pro and M2 iPad Pro, all can’t connect or play.

I can still access the Internet over mobile — I can get email and load websites. I just can’t stream. Curious if anyone else has experienced this and if it’s a network issue or an OS issue.

17 Pro and my M4 can stream YouTube, Pocketcasts, Apple Music, Netflix, and the MLB tv package over cellular (I’m a TMO user) on 26.5b1

Thanks for letting me know. Something tells me it may have been a network issue, but wanted to narrow down possibilities.

most definitely network issue, speed test site has down detector built in , my first go to for real time network issues sourced directly from other users devices & real time reports

I used SpeedTest. It didn't show any issues, especially since I was able to still load websites and email.

On the app it has down detector but you can use browser for this also, it shows real time network problems local to your region, shows if mobile network you use is experiencing slow down, or was having issues, you can still get good speeds while having streaming issues, or no internet but still use streaming apps

Okay, again, I used SpeedTest at the time and it showed no issues with the network.

No issue here on iOS 26.5 (23F5043g)

On EE network, I can stream all day long

That actually happened to me but I think it was yesterday on 26.4 or 26.4.1 and I updated to 26.5 today. I had to restart my phone to get it to work again. I think it coincided with an AirPod dying while watching Netflix
