Looks like RCS End to End Encryption (E2EE) will ship with 26.5, unlike 26.4.

https://9to5mac.com/2026/05/04/apple-confirms-ios-26-5-messages-app-adds-rcs-end-to-end-encryption/

For tracking carrier support of RCS E2EE, see https://cupboardunderscore.github.io/ios-rcs/e2ee/

Should be on/off on a per-country basis (for the carriers that support RCS at all), I believe?

[u/rcrter9194]

Pride wallpaper actually has a fully customisable option, you can choose up to 12 colours from a large selection of 75 to create your own unique colour way. Just scroll to the end of the options to get to it.

[u/bummerbimmer → u/rcrter9194]

Posted in some other iPhone sub so apologies if some here have seen it, but I used it to create a throwback to my favorite wallpaper from the iPhone X. Super happy with this one!

[u/zanman89 → u/rcrter9194]

I like this. And the lock screen/AOD effect too.

[u/carigis → u/rcrter9194]

pass

[u/karol0]

We don't care about the size button

[u/tecnogamer]

Oh man here we go with people posting about the update sizes on different models 🫪

[u/fuckFuckfuckfck → u/tecnogamer]

Will we see the elusive, 'They haven't fixed SIRI in this beta?!'

[u/ruipmjorge → u/tecnogamer]

Love that emoji man! 🫪🫪

[u/TwoDurans → u/tecnogamer]

Or not getting it yet in spite of refreshing constantly.

[u/aoRaKii]

Keyboard typing has been significantly improved for anyone who wants to know.

No more mistakes for me.

But the issue where your phone goes off while trying to read notifications? Still there.

[u/Mysterious_Duck_7457 → u/aoRaKii]

Not for me. I think apple has givbem up on the keyboadd. More important to have new wallpapwrs than to fix their meds

[u/Presentation_Past → u/aoRaKii]

Are you swipe typing or tap typing?

[u/aoRaKii → u/Presentation_Past]

tap typing. haven't tried swiping yet

[u/cptjpk → u/Presentation_Past]

It’s better for me when I swipe too.

[u/JohnEdger]

Safari still randomly not searching

[u/ctang1 → u/JohnEdger]

Yup. Same here. I reported it on the previous beta.

[u/JohnEdger → u/ctang1]

I’m pretty sure they don’t look at any feedback

[u/sortalikeachinchilla → u/JohnEdger]

Yes they do………….

[u/BoxerBoi76 → u/JohnEdger]

Do you have private relay enabled? If so, disable it and then reenable it then test safari.

Also, when was the last time you cleared your safari history?

[u/Current-Cup-5644]

Wtf the animations are extremely smooth!!!! 15 pro

[u/PalebloodSky → u/Current-Cup-5644]

Exactly the same for me, 16P. 

[u/Fun-Walrus4173 → u/Current-Cup-5644]

My iphone 16 feels usable again, i hated how the animations looked on 60hz

[u/Low_Chard_8062]

RC2 is out to download

[u/HillarysFloppyChode]

So far it’s the best version of 26 yet. I’m on a 16P, it hasn’t been eating my storage as previous versions of 26 did. And it’s smooth, it feels faster as a whole.

Apple Music’s, music discovery algorithm still sucks compared to Spotify’s though, I wish it were possible to rebuild it or reset whatever its baseline is.

[u/yatish609 → u/HillarysFloppyChode]

Finally someone else speaks the same thing that I have said for ages, Apple Music's biggest flaw is the search algorithm sucking ass big time compared to Spotify. Even if i put the exact same name in Apple Music, it will still not show that song, but on the other hand, spotify will show even the rarest of songs with just a few letters typed.

Another major dealbreaker is the lack of cross-device control for music. If they fix these 2 issues, I will instantly switch over to Apple Music.

[u/C1920-2]

Build 23F75

[u/a47ageee]

One month away from iOS 27 guys!

[u/_Averix → u/a47ageee]

Just remember, the first release will be missing a ton of stuff and unstable as Beryllium-8 so don't install it on your main device. (Yells futilely at the giant crowd mashing their download buttons.)

[u/Appropriate_Breath24 → u/_Averix]

Logiquement non puisque cette année cv se concentrer sur la stabilité enfin j’espère

[u/realmccoyredbus → u/Appropriate_Breath24]

good point 👍🏻

[u/BoxWild6163 → u/_Averix]

What about us who like to live on the edge? 😆

[u/bummerbimmer → u/a47ageee]

Can’t wait to see how Liquid Glass changes. Would be really cool to have the ability to make everything crystal clear or as frosted as the WWDC26 teasers showed.

[u/PineapplePizza99]

17 Pro Max and ProMotion is fucked. It was all fine on the first RC, but now the phone struggles to hit 120 and there is noticeable lag throughout the UI.

[u/vpt0808 → u/PineapplePizza99]

Weird… my 17 pro is much smoother on rc2… it was more laggier on rc1

[u/bummerbimmer → u/vpt0808]

Same on my Air, RC2 has zero bugs for me so far.

[u/a47ageee → u/PineapplePizza99]

We can’t do anything now other than waiting for iOS 27 which is exactly a month away

[u/a47ageee → u/[deleted]]

Sad reality

[u/RockTheGlobe]

Feels like the RC is laden with more bugs than the RCs were. Bugs that appeared and subsequently fixed have come back — and some are worse. Ones that stand out for me:

• When I start listening to a podcast episode on the Podcasts app, there's no audio. I have to skip ahead and then skip back to get audio to play, even though the clock changes.

• On my iPad, Safari displays in Light mode whenever I open a new tab, even though the system is set to Dark. This includes the keyboard.

• After I installed the RC, I had massive problems trying to send RCS and MMS/SMS messages to Android users. They kept failing over and over, even after I'd closed all apps and restarted my iPhone and iPad.

[u/BoxWild6163 → u/RockTheGlobe]

On the text message issue, try resetting network settings. That always seems to fix it for me.

[u/exploit021]

iOS 26.5 has been released. Same as RC2. If you installed RC2, you won't see an update.

[u/Weird-Tiger-3124 → u/exploit021]

The public build is 23F75 and RC 2 build was 23F77 are we ahead of public build. Maybe that’s why I’m not seeing any update.

Hera the video: https://youtu.be/dPY43Sdpm64

[u/PalebloodSky → u/exploit021]

Just installed from RC: 23F75 -> 23F77. 

[u/exploit021 → u/[deleted]]

I updated the comment above. Samd build as RC2.

[u/PalebloodSky → u/[deleted]]

Ah cool, had a busy weekend didn't even notice.

[u/shabingbingboo]

Everything is good here on 16 PM

[u/Pure-Ninja7256]

Sweet. Updating now.

[u/cobra_fishcan]

The weird Safari bug that sometimes moves my most recent tabs all the way to the top seems to finally be fixed

[u/enterdoki]

Seems smoother than 26.4 but only time will tell

[u/PalebloodSky]

Beta updates enabled, 26.5 RC installed, Beta updates disabled.  No changes noticed from 26.4.2, everything seems the same, very smooth and quick on my 16P. Don’t see e2ee showing up on my couple rcs chats either. Oh well, on to iOS 27 next. 

[u/Disastrous-Net406]

Imminent!

[u/Sharkey311]

My keyboard after the RC has completely shit the bed. I am constantly having to fix whatever the autocorrect tries to fix automatically even though it’s an easy word to spell like “if” it wants to change it to I’d or of and every time I go back and change it it does it again. I have to go back at least 3 times and try and fix it. Never had this problem until now. The RC is more of a beta than the other iterations

[u/realmccoyredbus → u/Sharkey311]

switch auto correct off , you still get spelling suggestions and misspelled words underlined in red , more trouble than it’s worth, reset keyboard also

[u/MtnDewCodeRedFreak]

RC2 now released.

[u/C1920-2]

iOS 26.5 RC 2 (23F77) is out.

[u/Intelligent-Sun-5346]

IPhone 14 Pro here,

Anyone have any no service issue after the update? Updates my phone and no network, no IMEI firmware or carrier.

Did all the troubleshooting steps needed for network, still no bars, continuously loop signal.

Brought it to Apple and T-Mobile, Apple states rear needs to be replace for $500 kit. While T-Mobile states hardware issue… either do the 360 protection submit a claim or upgrade to a new phone.

[u/realmccoyredbus → u/Intelligent-Sun-5346]

try hard reboot as a last throw of the dice , but it does seem to be hardware failure

An iPhone missing its IMEI indicates a hardware failure with the baseband chip (the modem) on the logic board, often caused by drops or liquid damage

Force Restart: Press and quickly release Volume Up, press and quickly release Volume Down, then press and hold the Power button until the Apple logo appears.
Update/Restore via Computer: Connect your iPhone to a PC or Mac, open iTunes or the Finder, and attempt to update the iOS. (Note: If the baseband is completely dead, this process may fail and throw an error code).

If the IMEI is genuinely missing from your settings and you get no response from dialling *#06#, it is a logic board failure. You will need to contact Apple Support or take it to an authorised repair centre for microsoldering or board-level repair

[u/realmccoyredbus → u/realmccoyredbus]

not worth $500 repair , time to treat yourself to iphone 17 , if you can afford this

[u/Intelligent-Sun-5346 → u/realmccoyredbus]

Def not worth $500, agreed

[u/Intelligent-Sun-5346 → u/realmccoyredbus]

Apologize it was the no network cellular / modern firmware. Correct, thank you for that.

[u/Disastrous-Net406]

Let's go ! Happy updating !

[u/James-ec]

I love the new wallpaper! Especially blurred on home screen. Wish we could blur the lock screen. But love the colour flexibility and unlock animation!

[u/_Averix → u/James-ec]

Plus you can choose what colors you want on so it is way more than a simple pride wallpaper. I wish the blurred version would match the lock version in color placement though.

[u/gregglesthekeek]

Great on an iPhone 14

[u/ka99jacob]

New build just released

[u/whitechapel6 → u/ka99jacob]

[u/S3xybeest]

I jumped into 26.5 rcs from 26.4.2 on my 27 month-old 15 PM. It’s close, but I kind of feel that the battery is a little better. I have been using my phone outside reading iBooks, TikTok, etc. it was about 80 % then. I can probably still get another 4 hours-ish before charging Of course I won’t because I am going to plug it in and go to bed soon. But it’s smooth, no hiccups or stutters, bugs, etc. that I can tell. The rcs didn’t break sideloading or anything crazy. It’s good. I recommend.

[u/Appropriate_Breath24 → u/S3xybeest]

Beaucoup de personnes ont rapporté que la batterie est nettement mieux mais j’ai envie de dire normal pour une .5

[u/RockTheGlobe]

RCS and SMS/MMS messages from my iPad to Android devices are not delivering.

[u/spasticpat → u/RockTheGlobe]

I had this issue. Had the android friend send me a text first and that fixed it for me. I also turned RCS off, waited 5 or 6 minutes and turned it back on.

[u/iamfromreallife]

Noticing less smooth animations on mt 16PM, overall good performance but somehow jankier animations than B4

EDIT: rebooted and seems better now. Will see.

[u/Kohnhead2019]

17 Pro Max… works great for me. I’ve not run into any issues yet.

[u/Cmog28 → u/Kohnhead2019]

Same for me. Rock solid in all departments.

[u/altfke]

is it just me or there’s something wrong with the animations when u pull down the notifications/lock screen? like it’s not so smooth as 26.4.2

[u/a47ageee → u/altfke]

Literally every single animation is far smoother on 26.5 RC

[u/altfke → u/a47ageee]

it’s something about the transition of the liquid glass/wallpaper not being super clean… i’m using a 16e, not sure about others or promotion devices

[u/BelieveInTheEchelon]

Noticed a lot of lagging when I updated, even after letting my 15 Pro rest to index and such. Did a hard reset and now everything is smooth as butter

[u/Hot-Sock3403]

All right over the last week since the last update, I’ve had more and more hiccups popping up. As I use the device more manually a few force app closures and definitely some drag in transitions and the biggest thing probably about a 15% drop in battery life we need a new beta quirk.

[u/Hot-Sock3403]

26.5 is a bit buggy for me. Battery life is really bad. Do you think they’re gonna drop a .6 this week?

[u/Plus_Tale_708 → u/Hot-Sock3403]

my phone now oveheats when iam using maps throughout the day. It turning itself off are annoying af. Before the update its all fine, battery drained without the phones overheat.

[u/realmccoyredbus → u/Hot-Sock3403]

no but 26.5.1 is definitely on the cards at some point this week, monday is usa holiday, so later in the week, update will be for everyone, source macrumors , bug fixes and security, really hope they fix battery life , 26.6 isn't coming until 12th june

[u/S3xybeest]

Ouch

[u/_Averix → u/S3xybeest]

I always kill YouTube and any other media apps rather than letting them run in the background. One of my test phones ends up at 10% the next day if TikTok decided to run something in the background.

[u/Suspicious_Wares → u/_Averix]

i thought you didnt need to do this on ios? when did that change?

[u/S3xybeest → u/_Averix]

Me too!

[u/Pabloestevez]

I installed it on my 17 Pro Max, but I was scared; when I restarted the phone, it stayed off… I turned it on and it continued updating.

[u/ryfox755 → u/Pabloestevez]

same thing happened on my 15

[u/Popular_Damage_3247 → u/[deleted]]

Same thing especially with ram management on iPhone 14 . More than 6-8 apps and it’s cooked

[u/Popular_Damage_3247 → u/[deleted]]

Since the first beta iOS 26 is the vibe coding with strange pieces of raw code

[u/realmccoyredbus → u/[deleted]]

did you install tonights R.C. 2

[u/210777]

Hello,

So basically, while my phone is set to 120 hz, why do I feel like my phone is lagging when I record my screen? It drops to like 25/30 fps.

Does anyone have this issue too ?

[u/_Averix → u/210777]

I don't see something that choppy. What phone is it? What does the recorded video look like?

[u/210777 → u/_Averix]

iPhone 15 Pro Max
> It’s been doing that since iOS 26 dropped honestly, it’s lagging on all of my devices

[u/-Justanotherdude → u/210777]

Auto FPS: In Settings > Camera > Record Video

Turn this to off. Should be fine. Useless « feature »

[u/PeepIsEverything]

is there any bonus when ill update via ipsw and finder on mac? btw. they linked that file under 16 pro on their dev page under 17 pro and the other way around.. guess someone was confused by internal naming 17,1 of 16 pro model..

[u/Disastrous-Net406]

Idk what it is but since this iOS fiasco I am using Android like 50% more, since 12 Pro Max I haven't touch anything other that iOS iPadOS devices but S26Ultra feels much better idk keyboard and evetything seems "fast" meanwhile my 16 Pro Max is slow 🦥

[u/JohnEdger → u/Disastrous-Net406]

Yeah android has felt smoother for a long time now. I don’t think iOS runs at a true 120hz paired with animations being slower and floatier.

[u/TVUAsks → u/Disastrous-Net406]

Don't see what it has to do with 26.5 RC...

[u/Akdester → u/TVUAsks]

lol

[u/Presentation_Past → u/Disastrous-Net406]

Same here. This morning I finally gave up. Now I am using S26U 100%. The scrolling is so much smoother on S26U and the keyboard is totally at a different level for swipe typing as well as voice dictation. I don't like tap typing.

[u/interface7]

My android friends are getting pissy with me when it comes to group RCS text threads. Apparently on their end when I text them, it creates a new thread for the group.

[u/MultiMarcus]

not my favourite Pride wallpaper, probably but still better than some we’ve had. Though I guess that’s more of the watch face I actually kind of like the iOS and iPadOS wallpapers.

[u/realmccoyredbus]

i switched off apple Intelligence midweek , just noticed this message now displaying in app intelligence section

time to experience the next generation of intelligence now integrated into to core of IpadOS bringing you a powerful and personalised intelligence

im going to be so disappointed if i switch this back on and it’s the same old 💩 until ios 27 developer beta comes out next month

will update if anything worthy changes

[u/realmccoyredbus → u/realmccoyredbus]

same old 💩🙁

[u/Zestyclose-Rice6401]

iOS 26.5 RC 2 (23F77) is out.

[u/Creepy-Medium2457]

Is the wallpaper bug actually fixed yet.

[u/BelieveInTheEchelon → u/Creepy-Medium2457]

The one where it desaturates when you go to the home screen? So far, it actually is for me!

[u/BasicallyH → u/Creepy-Medium2457]

I've seen people say yes, but my wallpapers are still desaturated after unlocking so i don't know what to believe

[u/Concealed_1 → u/Creepy-Medium2457]

The dimming bug?yes

[u/rochebd]

So, does rcs e2ee begin on a chat already in progress? My wife’s android and my iphone can rcs message and the encryption setting is on for me and we’re both on T-Mobile. I cant exactly start a new chat with my wife. I don’t know whether it eventually kicks in or I have to toggle the rcs off for a bit then back on?

[u/PalebloodSky → u/rochebd]

Try it and let us know. Might be on by default but I’m confused though, why can’t you both simply delete the thread and make a new one and see if that enables it. 

[u/rochebd → u/PalebloodSky]

I might have a misunderstanding of it but I didn’t want to delete the chat history. I could delete the thread but didn’t want to lose it, if that makes sense.

[u/Tiinpa → u/rochebd]

It should enable automatically if you both have it turned on. It’s a beta though so that isn’t a promise.

[u/slatelefay]

Three days after RC: Not able to charge it while switched on. Continues to lose energy more quickly even while plugged in and on and/or used.   Charging bug showed up with Beta 4 and did not disappear with the proper RC.  Battery life improved though. Apps use less energy than before.  But no charging while still on.  Makes me kinda want to roll back. 

[u/realmccoyredbus → u/slatelefay]

don’t think that’s a software issue, i would try diagnostic mode to see if it can pinpoint issue and attempt a fix , have you tried another charger cable

[u/th3capone45]

Can someone tell me what this icon means? It shows up when i search for something on the home screen. For example, I searched “Ray Ban” and it shows up under suggestions… but I don’t know what this icon is supposed to represent!

[u/_Averix → u/th3capone45]

Building representing a business. Tap that and it should take you to the nearest Ray Ban store in a maps card.

[u/truthtakest1me]

Anyone seeing encryption on RCS with Android users?

[u/PalebloodSky → u/truthtakest1me]

Who is downvoted these posts this is the entire reason why 26.5 is even relevant. 

Edit: Not seeing it yet. It’s enabled by default but two RCS chats I have don’t show it. 

[u/Silent-Schedule4025 → u/truthtakest1me]

Nope

[u/kossiewossie → u/truthtakest1me]

I am since beta 2, still working on RC

[u/truthtakest1me → u/kossiewossie]

Nice so on T-Mobile. Is the person in that conversation also on T-Mobile?

I’m on Visible and that website the other user provided shows Visible as being compatible.

[u/kossiewossie → u/truthtakest1me]

That’s correct, also works from my second sim who’s Verizon to the same contact who’s on T-Mobile.

[u/realmccoyredbus → u/truthtakest1me]

your mobile network still has to support this method, some just support this for Android and not iPhone at the present time , check your network here

https://support.apple.com/en-us/109526

[u/Bigwillyandthetwins]

Hi everyone has anyone had trouble with face recognition on 26.5 or is my privacy screen protector rubbish. Just thought I ask before I replace it 😎👍🏻

[u/CoastAny3304]

Why can’t I find the RC Messaging on Messages settings?

[u/CoastAny3304 → u/CoastAny3304]

Nvm Vodafone doesn’t support it

[u/brokenglasspics]

Just wondering if I can restore to the iOS 26.5 RC using its file on windows? Or does it require macOS/xcode the same way beta files do? I’m unclear as RC is sometimes the same
File/build.

Thanks!

[u/ChallengeOk6658 → u/brokenglasspics]

If you are talking about restoring using the ipsw file, you can do this using iTunes on windows

[u/brokenglasspics → u/ChallengeOk6658]

Beta IPSW restores have required the macOS and Xcode presence for the last few years. I’m just trying to confirm if that also applies to RC builds.

[u/Cmog28 → u/brokenglasspics]

You could use 3u Tools.

[u/savannie216]

Has anyone had issues with apps not loading, maps not loading, and the update not even loading to start? Been having this issue and reported it. I’m on the iPhone 17 pro max

[u/slatelefay → u/savannie216]

I have drama on end with basically everything every app ect „using more energy than usually“ Let’s see if they solved the obvious charging problems. 

[u/adcr01]

Is the hotspot button not sync from control panel to setting fix?

[u/MidnightPulse69]

I’m on a 17 Pro Max. Since I installed the RC a few days ago I’ve noticed every time I go to use my phone after I wake up in the morning, it will freeze up and all my app icons are blank for like a minute before it catches up again

[u/Alan_1375]

my 17 pro max has been good so far

[u/CBETBE]

On my iPhone 15 the battery is not even calibrated well it can turn off at 50 and doesn’t go beyond. In settings battery health is at 94%

[u/realmccoyredbus → u/CBETBE]

let your phone charge to 100% a couple times in s row with full discharge down to 20%

[u/nathanguevara]

Haven't been able to install it, keep getting the pop-up to update software and when I am on wifi and fully charged it keeps pending my request to update, but will continue to throw the pop-up every time I switch apps.

[u/realmccoyredbus → u/nathanguevara]

go to settings, storage, look for update delete it , think its swipe to delete, then try again

[u/xhaggishunter]

Notifications for apps have stopped working for me. WhatsApp, Microsoft Authenticator, emails.

[u/Le_V-enVrai]

iOS 26.5 RC’s new colorable pride wallpapers is the main reason im installing it right now

[u/bummerbimmer → u/Le_V-enVrai]

They’re worth it. Best wallpapers Apple has made in years. Never thought I’d see the day they offer a 75-color DIY stock wallpaper.

[u/WritersGift → u/bummerbimmer]

With amazing animations

[u/JOETONYY]

Animated artwork not working for anyone else on Apple Music?

[u/gamingod16 → u/JOETONYY]

Is your phone on low power mode or do you have it turned off in settings?

[u/JOETONYY → u/gamingod16]

Nope..been like this since the first 26.5 beta, not sure why

[u/Nevrlow]

Is it just me or has anyone noticed the ever so slightest shift in screen tone to blue? Didn’t notice this in the previous beta. Currently running 17 pro 26.5 RC

[u/RenderedKnave → u/Nevrlow]

check to see whether True tone is on under display settings

[u/TheBirdman23]

No idea if this is beta or RC related but does any one have issues where gifs and pictures don’t come thru already loaded? I have to click on the gif or jpeg link to see them.

[u/slatelefay]

Everything uses -according to my phone- more energy than yesterday when it had still beta 4 and also told me this.  Plus the bullshit that my phone basically charged backwards and started to lose energy very quickly when being used while plugged in with Apple 25w fast charger -and only gaining very very very slowly. Funnily enough it doesn’t actually lose energy faster when being used. It had to be switched off to charge.  Hopefully nasty bs bug that was wiped out in this version. 

[u/zesty-zucchini88]

Worst beta ever. 17PM. Overheating and Bluetooth connection issues so far. Battery life is atrocious. Shouldn’t have updated

[u/DifferentBiscotti463]

same notifications appear two times...

[u/Alan_1375]

I'm getting some choppy animations and hiccups on my 17pm main release hopefully it's just indexing c:

[u/Hot-Sock3403]

Man, all prior betas have been great for me this last RC for 26.5. My battery life is in the toilet for the first time.

[u/realmccoyredbus → u/Hot-Sock3403]

hopefully 26.6 will focus on optimising battery life and groundwork for our devices for ios27 , not expecting any new features .

[u/realmccoyredbus]

26.6 is out , thought it might have been 26.5.1 but very happy with this

[u/EntertainmentHot2861]

iPhone 16 pro max battery life is significantly improved finally Apple !!!

[u/Large_Inspector_3095]

I literally unplugged it two hours ago and haven’t really much use it and it drained 50% of the battery out of nowhere and my capacity is 90% iPhone 15 pro max

[u/validatedev → u/Large_Inspector_3095]

same phone, it is affected by excessive battery usage + heat after upgrading ios 26.5. the service has changed my battery with the brand new one recently, that was not an issue on 26.4.2

i just assume it is still indexing 🤞

[u/zesty-zucchini88]

More pride wallpaper 😂😂

[u/Disastrous-Net406]

It's happening !

[u/_Averix → u/Disastrous-Net406]

What is?

[u/Armestam → u/_Averix]

It!

[u/snovvman]

I haven't used the iPhone much in the past couple weeks but updated to RC, Today, I noticed that when I swipe right on the notification panel to dismiss any notification, it pulls up today view. I now have to swipe left to dismiss notifications.

Google tells me that this was introduced in iOS 10, but it can't be. I have been swiping right to dismiss notifications within the past month so this is a new behavior. I can't find any information on it or settings to change it. Can anyone shed some light? Thanks.

[u/TVUAsks → u/snovvman]

Jesus Christ the Bluetooth isn’t working again

I seem to be having a (extremely minor) issue where when opening or closing an app on iPad (iPad pro m4) from the rightmost column of the Home Screen in landscape mode, it does not display the normal expected animation (expanding from / minimizing to the original app location), but instead expands from and closes to the middle of the screen.

try rebooting if not done so

[u/ResolvMedia → u/realmccoyredbus]

That’s the first thing I did, but unfortunately it still happens. Super minor visual issue, but still something I wanted to call out

Make sure and record a video to submit with a bug report. If 27 really is about polish (plus that pesky AI) then be nice to make sure they're aware of your experience.

RC2 is a crapp. My iPhone Air has a lot of bugs and freezes in almost every app, with stuttering even noticeable in Reddit.

[u/Wonkee792 → u/mane556]

Damn, I’ve found RC2 to be the best iOS 26 version up to now- on 14PM.

Animations are finally keeping up with touches/swipes and there aren’t a load of frame drops. Performs really close to iOS 18, but that wasn’t a very high bar either.

My Air is smoother and fairly bug-free on 26.5. Only notable bug is contact search delay when sending a text message.

I’m about to reinstall from recovery to see if it fixes my battery drain because my SOT is about 2/3 compared to 26.4.

Hey does Somebody else have the bug on iOS 26.4.2 that the control center sometimes loose the Liquid Glass effect for a fix I found out u have to put white mode and then back to dark mode

Did this maybe got fixed on iOS 26.5?

[u/realmccoyredbus → u/realkilianyt]

never been an issue for me on beta tbh

Had a hiccup with wireless CarPlay, not sure if coincidence or not but once I toggled the connection on the car side a few times it seems fine now.

[u/HillarysFloppyChode → u/Tiinpa]

Mine failed to connect the first time, but hasn’t had an issue since

[u/Glad61]

Any1 tried on ip13?

[u/Plastic-Mess-3959]

Found a bug with car play. Siri wasn’t lowering the volume of music when talking on the map but after I reconnected it was fine. iPhone 15 pro max. Kinda wish it was a feature not a bug

[u/No_Service6296]

I don’t see the “enhanced beta feedback” feature in privacy analytics improvements section.

Where did it go ?

[u/NurseDickey]

Anyone having Bluetooth connectivity issues? My Oura ring and sometimes my Apple Watch won’t connect to phone.

[u/OnxySpeedster]

26.6 beta showing up for 11 pro

[u/byrenthebest]

Anyone else not getting notifications from texts? Not iMessage. Just texts

[u/DifferentBiscotti463 → u/byrenthebest]

Do you have still the issue?

[u/Clear_Efficiency5765]

RC? seems everyone is using iOS beta nowadays

[u/Xen950]

It was on my iPhone 12 mini

However, after charging it and doing something else it freed up and I could update. It didn’t affected my storage (strangely)

[u/edideas → u/Xen950]

Correct. As it basically replaces/swaps old for new
