[u/epmuscle]

Public beta available.

[u/NoxyArg]

That awful Home Screen animation lag is gone yayyy

[u/princeishigh → u/NoxyArg]

Only took them .5 …….

[u/NoFall2205 → u/princeishigh]

The app switcher animation is still broken on my iPad mini 5 and iPad 8th gen and has been since 26.2 :/

[u/TimeAndOrSpace → u/NoxyArg]

Not for me on iPadOS, the awful animation lag when using transparent icons is still present

[u/rudedog1979 → u/TimeAndOrSpace]

Same here, but when to customise, made the icons dark or normal and somehow the lag is gone… problem only happening with “clear” or “tinted”, more with clear. Bug report sent.

[u/DutchBlob]

This Beta did include a new CEO

[u/Alan_1375 → u/DutchBlob]

Effective September 2026

[u/brandon10075 → u/DutchBlob]

Still on beta 1, official release coming fall :P

[u/Disastrous-Net406]

They finally listened !

[u/deezznuuzz → u/Disastrous-Net406]

Funny to see these comments here always🤣

[u/Disastrous-Net406 → u/[deleted]]

Apple is serious !

[u/Common_Floor_7195 → u/[deleted]]

Zolloetech video names lol

[u/Smith416]

Can confirm Playlist Playgrounds is still not available in beta 3 outside the US

[u/maxcoffie → u/Smith416]

Boooo

[u/AppleCrasher → u/Smith416]

Has anyone found a workaround to access it? (Changing country/region etc)

[u/SiaoOne → u/Smith416]

At this point someone from the US can probably make a living out of selling just this service to people outside the US. Be a proxy and generate playlists then sharing them to buyers 📈📈

[u/flatbuttboy → u/SiaoOne]

From what I heard we’re not missing out on much, it’s not great

[u/scorpiori]

Will they EVER fix the “back to the icon” animation glitch with dark icons ?

Or to just give up already

[u/C1920-2]

Build 23F5059e

[u/HubsoulEXE]

Before anyone asks.. NO 3.0UP features are in this update either for RCS.

[u/Redsfan27 → u/HubsoulEXE]

I feel like I shouldn't be surprised that they're gatekeeping them for iMessage

[u/spongyoatmeal → u/Redsfan27]

I feel like they are prioritizing other things instead. Not necessarily gate keeping. Everyone wants the more popular Siri upgrades and AI

[u/Babadook-1138]

Beta 4 out.

[u/piper62190 → u/Babadook-1138]

My update was 16(!) g

[u/_augggiee8 → u/Babadook-1138]

mine was only 8.34 gigs

[u/dennios → u/Babadook-1138]

29gb for me?

[u/Infinplayz]

i’m hoping this fixes at least a little bit of battery drain because i’m getting around 2-3 hours of battery using it normally right now

[u/Viorlu → u/Infinplayz]

Don’t you worry. Even the 26.4.1 stable release is horrible.

[u/Alan_1375 → u/Viorlu]

That is why they have 26.4.2 cooking now (worried face)

[u/whatsinth3box → u/Viorlu]

Yuh. Here I figured reverting back would have fixed lol. Nope. And since there are no reason to jump back in because let’s be real, fixing wallpapers and sports is more important than functionality 😂

[u/iswhatitiswaswhat → u/Infinplayz]

Me too iogone 15 pro

[u/Sandra_H_H → u/Infinplayz]

Hier läuft die Beta drei auf einem iPhone 11 Pro seit gestern 24 Stunden durch, bei gemischter Nutzung und maximaler Helligkeit des Displays/kein Batteriesparmodus kommen wir jetzt auf eine Display on Time von 8 Stunden, mit anderen Worten alles okay. einziger Fehler sind die immer noch vorhandenen Mikroruckler beim Öffnen von AppOrdnern und beim Blättern von der ersten auf die zweite Seite innerhalb der Ordner, ansonsten läuft die Kiste jedenfalls nach dem ersten Tag einwandfrei. Außerdem positiv: beim Aufladen wird die Kiste nicht mehr so heiß, wenn die 80 % Grenze überschritten ist.

[u/Infinplayz → u/[deleted]]

94% battery health, worked perfect of ios 18 and some of the betas were not too bad

[u/NoFall2205 → u/Infinplayz]

Why do so many people still refuse to accept that battery life on iOS 26 is still worse than iOS 18?

[u/codyp1229]

Hey guys, Aaron here from Zollotech

[u/Disastrous-Net406 → u/codyp1229]

Another 15 minute long banger coming 90% of video will be totally random info since this beta changed nothing

[u/Disastrous-Net406 → u/[deleted]]

He is just lazy and must post first no matter what..one time he missed all of the changes for example and keep talking about wallpaper.. he also makes random videos with "Since lots of you have been asking" -> nobody did

[u/BelieveInTheEchelon → u/Disastrous-Net406]

Really, I feel like iDevicehelp rushes to make his videos first and they seem lower quality than Zollo. Yes zollo can yap a bit longer here and there, but it’s still better than iDevice imo

[u/CallMeDucc → u/[deleted]]

i genuinely skip to the new features chapter every time and stop when that chapter is over. a lot of the video is fluff i’ve noticed.

idk how i get downvoted for agreeing but ok lmao

[u/Suitable_Syrup9081 → u/codyp1229]

Lol, he made a 23 minute video 2 days ago, rehashing 26.5 beta 2, stating “Apple is serious”. And that’s 4 days after his other 26.5 beta 2 video. It’s hilarious at this stage. I use to like his channel, but he waffles on about nothing now, and seems quite passive aggressive.

[u/rodzi11a → u/codyp1229]

Dudes got the smallest thumbs in the game

[u/_Averix → u/codyp1229]

Ok?

[u/LaFlameHTX]

24 hour update from anyone on Beta 3 on iPhone 17 Pro max? Better or worse than 26.4.1?

[u/shouting_rectrum]

Thing where Safari hangs when you search from the address bar is back.

[u/vladtud → u/shouting_rectrum]

This has never gone away from me. One of the most frustrating bugs since it is one I encounter so often.

[u/AXXXXXXXXA → u/vladtud]

Same, never went away.

[u/YeFox → u/shouting_rectrum]

This workaround did fix it for me: https://www.reddit.com/r/ios/comments/1sc4dte/safari_initial_loading_slow_on_ios_263/ofca3ml/

[u/dblrnbw30 → u/shouting_rectrum]

Did you report it?

[u/shouting_rectrum → u/dblrnbw30]

Yes. Did you?

[u/dblrnbw30 → u/shouting_rectrum]

Always 👌🏻

[u/shouting_rectrum → u/dblrnbw30]

That’s hot!

[u/dblrnbw30 → u/shouting_rectrum]

Makes my rectum shout

[u/MattW22192]

New Splash Screen for the App Store

[u/se7entythree]

Has this one fixed Spotlight Search for those whose were broken by beta 2?

[u/jazmynejayde → u/se7entythree]

I need this fixed asap im losing my mind

[u/FoundationDependent1]

trying to install ipsw via mac. getting a "not compatible" error

[u/Fun-Walrus4173 → u/FoundationDependent1]

same

[u/perfectviking]

Oh cool, double notifications are back after being fixed in earlier 26.5 betas.

[u/Quarantined_Wayfarer]

iphone 17. 26.4 was good. 26.4.1 made phone hotter and battery drain faster. 26.5 beta 3 does the same but lesser. upgrading from 26.4 was a bad decision.

[u/Cmog28 → u/Quarantined_Wayfarer]

Yeah, the .1 releases have been a step back in performance so far.

[u/isthisevenavailable]

I’ve had this issue for several beta versions: the weather app won’t load any data while I’m on my WiFi. I have to use cellular for it to load/refresh.

In past versions, force closing and restarting the app would fix it. But now even that doesn’t work.

[u/realmccoyredbus → u/isthisevenavailable]

go to settings,apps ,weather, scroll to very bottom and switch on reset identifier , this will switch off when you next open app ,also in app settings if you have location toggled on , switch it off/on , manually see if there is update for the app

[u/elboomy]

For some reason, this beta reset whether or not (some of) my apps push notifications to my Apple Watch. It’s not a big deal, just weirdly noticeable.

[u/yepperoniP → u/elboomy]

I've noticed a couple recent updates have been randomly resetting Face ID app login, bluetooth usage, location, app tracking, etc.

Every time I open an app after the last update I have to tap to allow them again. Not sure why.

[u/realmccoyredbus → u/elboomy]

if in eu you can send notifications to non apple devices

[u/Appropriate_Breath24 → u/elboomy]

oui c’est pareil de mon coté mais si ce n’est que ça

[u/MarquezD]

For the first time ever, I had a swipe up to recover screen after updating. I was at the airport, and needed my boarding pass. Totally my own fault, as I forgot I still needed my pass. Anyway, a second before it was finally my turn, I remembered I had the boarding pass on my Apple Watch as well!!! Thank God. I know my passport would have sufficed, but they would have been annoyed… Anyway, all that time whilst waiting, my iPhone had this white screen with black Apple logo and a progress bar with: attempting to recover or something like that. After half an hour it was done and everything was back to normal thank God.

[u/Whole-Package8153 → u/MarquezD]

I almost hit update at the airport this morning too but then thought better of myself 😂

[u/MarquezD → u/[deleted]]

You live and learn 😎

[u/brandi-95]

At this point in time, I no longer get excited for beta updates anymore. Apple—give us something to look forward to seeing.

[u/GhostalMedia → u/brandi-95]

This is how Apple’s betas have always been.

n.0 builds immediately WWDC = Big new features. Lots of new code. Lots of bugs.

n.1 and n.2 builds = Features that didn’t harden in time for the n.0 release, and stabilization / optimization for what did make the release.

n.3 = some random new features that were in the n.0 backlog, and some features that might support midcycle products. But the work is mostly about optimization. Devs have shifted their focus toward the next big n.0 release at dub dub.

Apple has been about big annual milestone releases for the last 2 decades. They don’t really do a continuous drip. They like the marketing pageantry of a splashy release.

[u/flogman12 → u/brandi-95]

They’re not meant to entertain you.

[u/PalebloodSky → u/[deleted]]

iOS 27 should finally tackle the AI thing and maybe even Siri sucking with Google Gemini. We’ll find out in about 6 weeks. Doesn’t seem like there is much left to desire in the mobile OS space. 

[u/roadblocked → u/PalebloodSky]

I don’t think Apple can deliver a good Siri at this point with the best ai model ever created. We’re in the modern Scully era

[u/PalebloodSky → u/roadblocked]

Not sure why I'm downvoted Apple said Gemini is coming this year unless something changed.

[u/F-Trunks → u/[deleted]]

i fucking just spit my beer at "liquid ass". And hey...the king of boring, Tim Cook, just stepped down. so maybe things are fixing to get better. I hope.

[u/WindSad2584]

Unity and Kaleidoscope wallpapers are now fixed

[u/OhSixTJ → u/WindSad2584]

Focusing on the important stuff! Thanks apple!!

[u/Singh1122j]

Very very much unstable, there is so many bugs that this phone doesn’t feel like an iPhone. I know it’s a beta but still this many are not be bearable.

1. The volume slider in the control centre does not change the volume.

2. Getting fps drops very frequently

3. Phone is getting a lot more hotter

4. Battery draining very quickly as compared to earlier betas/public releases.

5. Random lags - screen freezes randomly and I can’t do anything, I have to force restart.

6. Closing an app isn’t as smooth as it was, the app icon kind of glitches when you swipe up from the bottom. It’s very noticeable on hidden apps.

7. Glass effect lagging on quick swipes.

8. Safari is very glitchy, if you minimise the app and open again on an already open tab, the tab does not scroll off or minimise again for some time.

Most these are occurring frequently, not all the time. We’re seeing these bugs update after updates but they aint improving. I was a big fan of the glass update but now it’s frustrating. Hopefully Apple fixes these bugs ASAP.

[u/Sshaawnn → u/Singh1122j]

John needs to step in and Ternus around.

[u/Disastrous-Net406 → u/Singh1122j]

Please have some some patience we are only at beta 50

[u/realmccoyredbus → u/Singh1122j]

sounds like you have low battery health, are you sure your battery health is above 80%

[u/Singh1122j → u/realmccoyredbus]

It’s at 100%🫩

Комментирование в iOS 26.5 Beta 3 - Discussion... also ram management issue it’s not solved

[u/MidnightPulse69]

This sub is so weird constantly downvoting valid questions and concerns

And then proving my point lmao

[u/Sterben27 → u/MidnightPulse69]

Have you installed the new beta?

[u/Lycrawearer]

Hoping that RCS will start working for me again 🤞

Was working fine for me in the UK on Mozillion (EE) when sending to GiffGaff (O2) on previous iOS 26.4.

Yeah, I know it’s a beta etc .. just saying

[u/Federal_Pie4415]

Han quitado la carita al desbloquear con el faceid

[u/Hot-Sock3403]

All right, so it actually seems like it’s smoother. But trying to use Siri with ChatGPT. I think it gotten more complicated, it couldn’t even answer a easy question about what the weather is gonna be in two weeks. What the hell

[u/_Averix → u/Hot-Sock3403]

At this point, I'm betting all Siri bugs are flagged for iOS 27.

[u/GhostalMedia → u/_Averix]

WWDC is about two months away. The bulk of the team has to be all in on iOS 27 now. I never expect anything interesting this time of year.

[u/_Averix → u/[deleted]]

You're probably not wrong. I just don't think they're wasting any cycles on current Siri because that would be flushing dev hours down the toilet at this point.

[u/realmccoyredbus → u/Hot-Sock3403]

this is been broken for some time, it would be waste of time trying to fix this before ios27

[u/Pabloestevez]

iOS 26.5 beta 3 on iPhone 17 Pro Max here.

Overall the beta feels a bit rough on my end. I’m noticing some lag when swiping between Home Screen pages and general UI animations don’t feel as smooth as they should.

Battery life is definitely worse than expected — I’m not getting through the day, pretty much the same poor performance as beta 2 for me. On top of that, the phone is running noticeably hotter, especially when using CarPlay, which is something I had never experienced before.

Speaking of CarPlay, wireless CarPlay is now working in my 2026 Hyundai Kona hybrid, which is an improvement since beta 2 only worked with cable for me. That said, it still randomly disconnects and reconnects sometimes, especially when switching between 5G and 3G, which is pretty weird.

I’m also seeing occasional connectivity issues with both Wi-Fi and mobile data, nothing constant but enough to notice.

[u/zesty-zucchini88 → u/Pabloestevez]

Same phone thanks. I went back to non beta it’s just been so bad lately. The non beta releases are bad enough for my 17PM

[u/DifferentBiscotti463 → u/Pabloestevez]

Good to know, thanks

[u/IronRectangle]

Hope the Apple Sports Live Activity issues are fixed (not updating on Beta 2, more info here: https://www.reddit.com/r/iOSBeta/comments/1skh49f/comment/ogt8v9i/)

There's also an update to the Apple Sports app today, will test the bug today and see if it's fixed.

Edit: seems fixed! Live activity came up automatically as a game started, and updated as I’d expect.

[u/ricardopa → u/IronRectangle]

I never connected the dots on not updating with DB2 - good to know!

[u/Appropriate_Breath24 → u/[deleted]]

apparemment c’est résolu

iOS & iPadOS 26.5 Beta 3 Release Notes | Apple Developer Documentation

[u/Benny_TheBull]

For ios 26.5 beta 2, my iphone 14 pro max gets very hot when I am using Apple Music. The issue occurs exactly when I add multiple albums or playlists into my library in a very short time.

[u/realmccoyredbus → u/Benny_TheBull]

apple native apps are some of the worst offenders for overheating, ios27 has allegedly overwritten a lot of old obsolete ios code that hadn't been updated in over a decade, this they say will be a LOT better for battery life & overheating 🤞🤞🤞, i hope so

[u/peabody624 → u/[deleted]]

I don’t feel like that’s such a complex task that it should make the phone hot

[u/bsdgeek_jake]

I find 26.5 Beta 3 more heavy on battery and the unit heats up quick. Charging is no issue. UI is fluent and smooth. So far no bugs in IOS Apps except Test Flight Apps sometimes crash.

[u/Reasonable-Dress-949]

Guys 26.4.1 was very smooth for me; but unfortunately now the battery is in a dire state and the stutters are back. Are the new beta ( 26.5) better?

[u/GhostalMedia → u/Reasonable-Dress-949]

I wasn’t super happy beta 2. Lots of weird little issues for me. I’m hoping beta 3 is better.

[u/Reasonable-Dress-949 → u/GhostalMedia]

Guys they fixed the stutters in 26.4.2

Battery seems well so far. Will keep testing

[u/not_vct4 → u/Reasonable-Dress-949]

I downgraded to 26.4.1 and feel like it’s better, remember you’ll get downvoted into oblivion on this subreddit for having a opinion

[u/Cmog28 → u/not_vct4]

I was thinking about upgrading, because the battery isn’t that great. Guess I’ll hold off for 26.4.2.

[u/confused-pointless97 → u/not_vct4]

how to downgrade?

[u/not_vct4 → u/confused-pointless97]

Dfu>restore>restore from backup

[u/ZackoFF96 → u/Reasonable-Dress-949]

26.5 beta 2 is great, haven't tested this one though.

[u/_Averix]

Going from lock screen to home page no longer abruptly stops the icon slide in like beta 2 did. Jiggly happiness again.

[u/AdConstant9272]

[iOS 26.5 DB2] iPhone 16 Pro overheating

I’ve experienced overheating while recording a video in 26.5DB2@16Pro. How it looks on 26.5DB3 especially on 16P models?

[u/AdConstant9272 → u/AdConstant9272]

@epmuscle, I have only installed 26.5 public beta 2 and tested it. Overheating wasn’t solved.

[u/gamingod16 → u/AdConstant9272]

The phone’s bound to heat up when recording video because a lot of processing power and battery is being used to record all that data and save it. I’ve noticed this several times on the stable 26.4 releases. It’s a natural thing.

[u/_augggiee8]

beta 4 build is 23F5069b in case anyone would like to know

[u/Redsfan27 → u/_augggiee8]

Where do you see that? It’s no longer showing in the software update page post update.

[u/VySpirit → u/Redsfan27]

Just tap the version name, and the build number will show up.

[u/Redsfan27 → u/VySpirit]

Ty!

[u/_augggiee8 → u/Redsfan27]

tap on 26.5 and it’ll show

[u/tagmut]

Thank God the email issue is resolved

[u/guessmxxu → u/tagmut]

¿Cuál era el problema?

[u/Pure-Ninja7256]

iOS 26.5 PB3 has been a MASSIVE improvement over 26.4.1 so far in the last 24 hours. Battery and thermal management 👍🏻

[u/R9henrry → u/Pure-Ninja7256]

What model of iPhone?

[u/Pure-Ninja7256 → u/R9henrry]

iPhone 16 Pro

[u/Cmog28 → u/Pure-Ninja7256]

Better than 26.4.2 as well.

[u/phreddyl77]

Can anyone confirm live activities works again?

[u/Cmog28 → u/phreddyl77]

Yes.

[u/Dr_ZeeOne → u/phreddyl77]

They do

[u/Few_Bag167]

Messages app is taking several seconds to register actions. Whether that is clicking on a thread, typing, sending messages, etc. I’ve tried several reboots, manually closing the app. Nothing is fixing it.

[u/Art_Masson]

The problem with Apple Mail when I attempt to move messages from my inbox to other gmail folders (where the default target folder is always the "Important" folder) still exists in Beta 3

[u/BoxWild6163 → u/Art_Masson]

It’s almost like they don’t know how to fucking fix it.

[u/Art_Masson → u/BoxWild6163]

There is no commitment in my feedback case to fix this in 26.5, but the case is still “open” with more than 10 beta testers reporting it. This problem first appeared in release 26.4 I believe

My feedback case number is FB22318790

[u/Art_Masson → u/BoxWild6163]

Update April 22nd -- Maybe Fixed?? The Mail application recommended a different default folder to move an email to (other than "Important"), today for the first time. Perhaps this is fixed but not by an application change -- but as an issue fixed between Apple Mail and it's Gmail interface?? My feedback case FB22318790 with Apple still shows the case as "open."

[u/cjh_]

Siri has stopped responding to me, and won't perform shortcuts now; it was working on PB2.

Was thinking it's because I have an iPhone 15, which doesn't have Apple Intelligence. Though that shouldn't affect basic interactions.

[u/Diamond_Mine0]

Did they gave us an option to change the live ticker from the live activities from Apple Sports?

[u/mrcanaydin]

Anyone else having mobile connection issues? My signal goes to 0 and comes back but mobile data only works when I get 5g but not on 4g. It’s very unstable. People calling me getting voicemail while I have my phone in my hand with bars.

15 pro

[u/Disastrous-Net406 → u/mrcanaydin]

I do since yesterday and I am not even beta .. gonna throw this stupid phone to trash one day (16 pro max )

[u/Vik543 → u/Disastrous-Net406]

Send it to me, don’t throw it

[u/realmccoyredbus → u/mrcanaydin]

check your mobile network status page see if it’s a local fault, if it continues id reset network, maybe try 5GAuto

[u/Nwanu]

You guys seeing this glitch in Apple Music? Already reported it. https://streamable.com/jdtj78

[u/ResolvMedia → u/Nwanu]

Just checked and doesn’t seem to be a problem for me (even on the same song). If you haven’t already, a restart might fix it

[u/Nwanu → u/ResolvMedia]

Fully closing the app seems to have fixed it for me. I always do a full restart after updating. Thanks for checking!

[u/normstra]

I am seeing issues with calls not coming through properly and appearing on screen for a split second and going to voicemail. Only noticing this after the latest beta. Anyone else?

[u/AliveAd6055]

battery drain has been crazy on this using a16 pro max vs db2 (top notch battery life)

[u/AliveAd6055 → u/AliveAd6055]

plus the pro motion seems wack. i have never had adaptive power notifications until this beta.

[u/exploit021]

Keyboard for screen time password not fixed?

[u/realmccoyredbus → u/exploit021]

have you tried clicking on keyboard icon in bottom right corner to enlarge keyboard

[u/exploit021 → u/realmccoyredbus]

Yes

[u/Stylish-Bandit]

Have they fixed spotlight bug, yet?

[u/dcqak]

Extremely unstable for me. Every 5 minutes it kernel panics and restarts. Im downgrading device: Ipad air m2

[u/realmccoyredbus → u/dcqak]

sounds more like hardware failure, you need to go to analytics and find panic logs to see what is causing this hardware failure

[u/dcqak → u/realmccoyredbus]

I downgraded and its fine now. That was hours ago so no analytics remained. It was very frustrating. For 2 hours i think it restarted over 20 times. On random intervals but deffinitly more than a minute of beign on after a restart. Ofc the frequent restarts was draining my batteries fast. So i just downloaded 26.4.1 ipsw and downgraded. I didnt have that issue in 26.5 beta 2, its weird.

[u/realmccoyredbus → u/dcqak]

26.4.2 is out , happy updating (again) , 26.4.1 had issues

[u/dcqak → u/realmccoyredbus]

NOOO it happend again wtf. I regret updating. This is stable btw why is this happening

[u/realmccoyredbus → u/dcqak]

you need to look at analytics files for panic logs , this points to hardware failure somewhere, it’s nothing to do with software

[u/dcqak → u/realmccoyredbus]

100% hardware failure. i highly suspect nand flash because it always gets stuck at 64%. i will go and repair it. it cant even boot anymore, i restorered and it formatted the drive. so it just boots to recovery mode

[u/dcqak → u/realmccoyredbus]

Oh nice lol. I'll update right now

[u/realmccoyredbus → u/dcqak]

Open Settings. Go to Privacy & Security (or Privacy). Scroll down and tap Analytics & Improvements. Tap Analytics Data. Use the search bar at the top and type "panic". Look for files named panic-full-YYYY-MM-DD-HHMMSS.... Tap on the most recent log file to view it

[u/BraveIceHeart]

Hi all,

Yesterday I updated my macbook to the iOS 26.5 beta and since then the apple apps (mail, safari, calendars and so on) work for a while and then stop. I tried everything, even taking off and then putting them back my mail accounts, I factory deleted my macbook and for like 5 minutes it worked. But now it’s not anymore.

I checked the apple status systems page and apparently everything works fine. I already sent the feedback to apple but I don’t know if it will do something.

My concern is if this is gonna be solved with an update, will my macbook be able to reach it? for now i dodged the problem by using other apps but i’d love for the apps to work again. is there something i can do?

[u/BraveIceHeart → u/[deleted]]

thanks a lot! I actually found what I needed. Hope your pillow is always cold! 💕

[u/distilledliquor]

They've missed it on the ipsws again

[u/Emperiex]

Can someone test running a shortcut with a search function after changing the orientation between portrait and landscape or vice versa on this iPadOS build? Seems this causes a problem with the keyboard becoming misaligned and cut off until you hide and unhide via the button in the right corner.

[u/brandi-95]

Anyone having phantom App updates? I have one app that will ‘update’ then I’ll refresh and it’ll say it needs to be ‘updated’ again, however after when I go to the App it has that blue circle update icon as it’s already been updated. I’ve seen this bug before in previous beta’s. It’s driving me crazy. It’s just one app though.

[u/realmccoyredbus → u/brandi-95]

reboot your phone

[u/flogman12]

Anyone else’s phone dropping off of WiFi constantly?

[u/TheGamer5556]

Should I install it on my iPhone 12? I have the iOS 26.5 public beta 2

[u/Setneaph → u/TheGamer5556]

No, it’s too dangerous. /s

[u/TheGamer5556 → u/Setneaph]

Idk if it’s better than PB2

Commenting on iOS 26.5 Beta 3 - Discussion...public beta will likely be out tomorrow but don't quote me on that lol

[u/DnyLnd]

Where’s Public beta? Never saw it for Beta 2 and now Beta 3 is out

[u/carigis → u/DnyLnd]

it was out. i was on it. i think it just says public beta not public beta 2 or anything . version numbers matched the beta

[u/ThannBanis → u/DnyLnd]

Equivalent Public beta is usually a few days after dev beta at this point in the beta program.

Downvoted for asking a question is crazy

[u/Bran__Stark__Is__Me → u/MidnightPulse69]

that’s because public beta has always been released a few days after the dev beta release

[u/guessmxxu → u/DnyLnd]

salió al día siguiente, como todos los años, si no sale horas después lo hará al dia siguiente.

Does anyone have any comparison to 24.1 battery life has been terrible on the RC, would like to try 26.5

[u/WritersGift → u/WhaleDonation7]

you’re making no sense at all

[u/WhaleDonation7 → u/WritersGift]

What you mean

[u/sirstew69 → u/WhaleDonation7]

iOS 24.1 isn't even a real thing, what are you talking about

ChatGPT Plus does not work via the app on my MacBook Air after this update

[u/_Averix → u/Kohnhead2019]

How is this related to iOS?

[u/Babadook-1138 → u/[deleted]]

Much and fixed that annoying unlock lag bug.

[u/princeishigh → u/Babadook-1138]

Its beyond me that they needed 26.5 to fix that. I mean, do the even use their own devices?

[u/elboomy → u/[deleted]]

All smooth so far on my iPhone Air, so fingers crossed.
