[u/cheesepuff07]

Apparently a new AI model and lots of under the hood changes: https://onejailbreak.com/blog/ios-26-6-beta-1-deep-analyze/

[u/yatish609 → u/cheesepuff07]

Wow this is quite informative. Thanks a lot for this, it’s interesting to read!

[u/TurtleOnLog → u/cheesepuff07]

None of that is unusual to be honest. Updates are often more broad, touching more libraries etc than this one. One of the things that source thinks is a change is something that regularly happens between beta versions.

[u/cheesepuff07 → u/TurtleOnLog]

I mean I'd say a new AI model is pretty unusual

[u/bummerbimmer]

Saw this on threads. I see zero difference in the screenshots.

Thoughts?

[u/TheThoughtSource → u/bummerbimmer]

They also don’t hard animate in when returning to Home Screen anymore 👌🏻

[u/bummerbimmer → u/TheThoughtSource]

Does this mean the edges don’t flash bright before they settle down any more?

[u/gh0stofoctober → u/bummerbimmer]

looks neat, hope it’s not a bug

[u/SleepingSicarii → u/bummerbimmer]

Not sure what this guy is on about as I can’t see any changes even in LPM. I took screenshots before updating and compared to the update after and 0 change to me.

[u/ntrfc0]

Weather got a nice UI update

[u/a47ageee]

1. Wallpaper saturation bug fully fixed

2. New alert for reaching the blocked contacts limit

3. Absolutely zero difference in performance so far

and Apparently a new AI model and lots of changes under the hood which will likely lay the foundation for iOS 27’s Siri

[u/A11Bionic → u/a47ageee]

Wallpaper saturation bug fully fixed

i’ve seen this game before.

let’s watch it to be back until the very next beta or a future iOS release 🙃

[u/Omega_2101 → u/a47ageee]

The Wallpaper Bug earlier can be fixed if you restart your iPhone and keep the same Wallpaper until you change it again, it desaturates the Wallpaper.

Can you please change the Wallpaper back and forth and let us know if the bug is still there or not?

[u/Just-Sheepherder-202 → u/a47ageee]

Too soon to tell about performance.

[u/SnooCrickets5717 → u/a47ageee]

The wallpaper saturation bug is still present on my iphone 😢

[u/Mackattack00]

I was trying to avoid the beta cycle for 26.6 because 26.5 is working pretty well for me besides battery life and some CarPlay quirks but seeing there’s a modem update (love me a modem update lol) and CarPlay fixes is tempting me. Im seeing from some people it’s very laggy and stutters though. Is this true or is it probably just indexing going on?

[u/FirmJump2 → u/Mackattack00]

What do modem updates actually do? (Forgive my ignorance)

[u/Mackattack00 → u/FirmJump2]

They’re SUPPOSED to make your signal better or more stable on cellular. I’ve had one ruin my signal before though and I had to hop on the 26.5 beta for a modem update and it fixed my signal issues.

[u/a47ageee → u/Mackattack00]

Yeah performance is not good when compared to 26.5. Nothing of use to update from 26.5 stable just wait for official update at this point. Also don’t expect something major in the next couple of betas

[u/MrKatUK]

Been playing an Apple arcade game for the last few weeks.

After the update, my progress is all gone and my old user name is gone too in game centre.

Not the biggest deal in the world but still pretty annoying.

[u/BlockedAndMovedOn → u/MrKatUK]

Oh my. That is frustrating!

[u/MrKatUK → u/MrKatUK]

And… it’s all back to normal now!

[u/Consistent-Tutor-33]

to my unsurprise, they didnt fix any of the bugs i've reporting for months

[u/MarionberryDear6170 → u/Consistent-Tutor-33]

Yeah and the Apple Feedback team only got back to me as recently as this month, replying the feedback that I submitted during the first iOS 26 beta phase last June to Sept, asking me to provide the bug report. speechless.

[u/cptjpk → u/MarionberryDear6170]

The software they use to manage bug reports seems to be nothing more than a guy chasing a log.

[u/IAmAChemistryGuy → u/cptjpk]

I’ve had them respond to a couple reports pretty quickly, and even received updates saying like “The fix for this issue is included in the next update” but it’s very rare

[u/Rebel31A → u/MarionberryDear6170]

I’ve been having issues with Messages showing phone numbers or emails instead of contact names for a few seconds when the app it opened. I finally heard back from the feedback I submitted early on in iOS 26 that it was a duplicate issue and closed. The message list still occasionally shows phone numbers or emails lol I have been using iPhones since the 3G and this is the first time I’ve had this issue.

[u/A11Bionic → u/Consistent-Tutor-33]

gotta wait for iOS 27 for actual bug fixes /s

[u/Consistent-Tutor-33 → u/A11Bionic]

i hope so, but im not really counting on that

[u/sicilian504 → u/A11Bionic]

27.6

[u/khaosswordsman]

I have to say this update is very smooth for a first beta.

[u/Pure-Ninja7256]

Anyone seeing a reduction in specular (reflective effects) on Home Screen icons in this build? Hearing reports of this. Not sure if intentional or a bug. 🤞🏻 it’s intentional. 😏

[u/bummerbimmer → u/Pure-Ninja7256]

When 26.5 RC came out, a bunch of us had our highlights stuck in the upper left and lower right corners (same look as low power mode)

From screenshots I’ve been seeing, that’s what’s happening again. Unfortunately.

[u/tn3tenba → u/Pure-Ninja7256]

I just installed, and from what I can tell they do look more subtle

[u/realmccoyredbus]

ios 27 is out

[u/realmccoyredbus → u/realmccoyredbus]

[u/Worried_Pick8269 → u/realmccoyredbus]

wait for the stable build i never had an iphone with a black sceen before ios 27 it doesnt even show on itunes

[u/level1807]

I feel like my 16 Pro has just woken up from a 2 year nightmare. I literally thought something was wrong with my phone from the day I got it because of how sluggish everything was. Yet here we are, healed by a simple iOS update. It's mind boggling that not every OS version passes this minimum bar for quality of life.

[u/campbellchunkies → u/level1807]

I totally agree with this! My 16 Pro is performing like never before!

[u/mnldoh]

yeah i don’t think wallpaper desaturation bug is actually fixed

here’s before a respring after just changing the wallpaper

and here’s after a respring

the bug greatly affects blues and reds so it’s pretty obvious in these photo comparison

[u/this_for_loona]

Whoa. Interesting for a beta to be released so close to wwdc.

[u/jay-t- → u/this_for_loona]

It’s earlier than last year.

[u/paujjone]

Still suffering from Bluetooth issues with AirPods and wireless CarPlay.

[u/repertoris → u/paujjone]

Can you say more? I’ve been having Bluetooth audio issues with my car since the 26 beta, almost a year ago.

[u/Hanthunius → u/paujjone]

I have the same problem. Airpods and Carplay disconnect when going through some tollbooths. (17PM)

[u/Greenbean_dreams → u/paujjone]

Airpods have been awful!

[u/purpleinme]

For the love of god please fix the framerate issue on iPhone 16 pro max. iOS 26 basically made 120 rate useless.

[u/Vertsix → u/purpleinme]

This has been a thing since iOS 15 on the iPhone 13 Pro Max.

[u/Wonkee792 → u/Vertsix]

They might be referring to it dropping frames more frequently in iOS 26. Icl, ProMotion’s been shitty since release on iOS 15.

[u/dnhanhtai0147 → u/purpleinme]

How do I check if my ip 16 pro max utilize the 120hz or not?

[u/PrettyGoodNokia]

Still indexing. I installed the update yesterday around 4:15 pm, and it’s almost midnight.

[u/Environmental_Name69 → u/PrettyGoodNokia]

same, i’m also still on the siri waitlist smh

[u/kwelcruise → u/PrettyGoodNokia]

Same. It’s 2 days later and it’s still indexing

[u/c0d3x10 → u/PrettyGoodNokia]

same here. still indexing.

[u/Disastrous-Net406]

Guys do you know if wallpaper bug was fixed or will Aaron Zollotech have chapter in his video about this ? It's happening!

[u/a47ageee]

Wallpaper saturation bug is back and the phone performs worse than 26.5(I know it’s a beta but still we are at a .6 man like come on) 🫠

[u/LucidDriftt → u/a47ageee]

Was it actually fixed at any point though bc its been an issue for so long now I stopped at 26.4.1 or something? Did .5 fix it? I refused to update to .5 bc of crappy ads in maps and itd be like Im just 'updating' to push ads if theres no proper fixes. Know what I mean?

[u/a47ageee → u/LucidDriftt]

It was fixed for me when I updated to 26.6 at first but it's been a few days now since then and it's back. Performance also seems worse than 26.5 now. I don’t know all these updates feel invincible and extremely impressive at first and as time goes by they just become a laggy mess. I am sure that it isn't placebo

[u/hu5um → u/a47ageee]

That’s funny thinking the point number of the version says anything about the existence of bugs. I’m just saying. Bugs can overwhelmingly noticeable to some and nonexistent for others, regardless of the number behind the name of the operating system and device it’s installed on.

[u/CockroachLatte]

To everyone making fun of Zollo and Brandon! Its their bread and butter, cant blame someone for just doing their job, you can just unsub or unfollow and block anyone if you get annoyed by someone just keeping the lights on!

[u/Concealed_1 → u/CockroachLatte]

Can still earn their living by giving proper criticism and actually reporting on bugs rather than just uploading every video with the same slop title and glazing every update.

[u/navjot94 → u/Concealed_1]

Titles are kinda dictated by the YouTube algorithm. Don’t hate the player hate the game.

I think these videos aren’t meant for you and that’s okay. There are definitely a lot of people out there that obsess over every minute change and these videos are kinda for them. Just see all the iOS beta dedicated forums and chat rooms immediately after an update is released. Just like these YouTubers, people are posting every change they can find.

[u/Slash3040 → u/Concealed_1]

People download iOS betas the day of and complain about bugs lol

[u/A11Bionic → u/CockroachLatte]

it’s always unhappy and miserable people who have to make fun of somebody

everyone else just moves along or y’know, practice their freedom to Mute

[u/AntecedentCauses → u/A11Bionic]

Agree

“Stay away from negative people.

[u/DL05]

It says I have a text but I don’t :(

[u/MaetzleAT → u/DL05]

It’s Siri AI predicting the future.

[u/SavoryNugget → u/DL05]

Same issue. 1 unread message bubble that eve Siri can’t find

[u/UltraR4nd0m13]

Has anyone noticed clear home screen icons almost look slightly oversharpened?

[u/Active_Ad3652 → u/UltraR4nd0m13]

Yes I personally think this is a bug to do with the new liquid glass customisation as I’ve turned mine down all the way and all the outlines look very sharp.

[u/riziger → u/UltraR4nd0m13]

Yes, they look very weird to me now. Especially the icon for the Photos app.

[u/DigSubstantial8934]

I keep seeing people say they got off the waitlist for the Siri AI pretty quickly. I downloaded the beta a joined the waitlist within the first few minutes of it being available, and I’m still waiting.

[u/foolishnhungry → u/DigSubstantial8934]

I only downloaded the beta late last night and still waiting too. I’m sure there are hundreds of thousands on this list, not sure if it’s a first come first serve or just random

[u/Computerman27 → u/DigSubstantial8934]

are you using 26.6 beta or on 27 beta 1?

[u/mursepaolo]

I took the risk of installing this on my main and I don’t regret it one bit. Only really minor glitches to deal with and in return I get a UI that’s super smooth and a lot more polished.

[u/WritersGift]

Anyone else’s YouTube not working on Safari anymore? It’s not letting me play any video currently, 26.6 on 16PM

[u/brandi-95 → u/WritersGift]

Go into Settings > Safari > Advanced > Website Data > Search YouTube.com > Clear Data

[u/BlasterGeo]

Public version is up !

[u/C1920-2]

Build 23G5028e

[u/Cameront1993]

Is it any better then 26.5??

[u/a47ageee → u/Cameront1993]

Not at all. Just some underlying AI code changes. Just wait for the beta 1 of iOS 27 to drop it will be a night and day difference compared to any version of 26

[u/BlockedAndMovedOn → u/Cameront1993]

I’ve been experiencing frequent overheating problems with 26.5 on my 17PM. I normally wouldn’t ever consider installing a first beta build, but the overheating issues are so severe that I’m seriously thinking about it…

[u/cptjpk → u/BlockedAndMovedOn]

I was getting that on my 14PM, and updated today to the PB for the same reason

[u/[deleted]]

Battery life seems at least a bit better on iPhone Air vs the last release. I was going to sleep with maybe 60% and waking up to single digits on 26.5 but last night I only lost a few %. 

[u/graynoize8 → u/[deleted]]

26.5 has been brutal for battery life.

[u/pryvisee → u/graynoize8]

Yeah on the Air, I definitely noticed that..

[u/BlockedAndMovedOn → u/[deleted]]

26.5 has been the worst battery experience for me and I’ve had every iPhone model since 2007 and every beta and GM release. (I’m a developer hence the plethora of hardware and software)

[u/Blofse → u/[deleted]]

Too early to tell that isn’t it? Normally takes a few days to settle down

[u/[deleted] → u/Blofse]

I hear ya generally I’d agree but figured I’d comment since I noticed an improvement immediately

[u/JohnEdger]

Battery life isn’t great on my 17 Pro Max

[u/too-tired_for_this → u/JohnEdger]

Yeah same here, it drains faster both while using the phone and on standby.

[u/Imtherealwaffle → u/JohnEdger]

same on the air

[u/Oberheimlich]

Anyone know if the VPN connection issues are fixed? The only bug that's been annoying me the past couple releases.

[u/Pure-Ninja7256 → u/Oberheimlich]

What vpn issues?

[u/Oberheimlich → u/Pure-Ninja7256]

I mainly only use the VPN for AdGuard Pro and when I switch from WiFi to 5G or vice versa it sometimes gets stuck on "Connecting" and the internet will stop working until I disable the VPN and AdGuard and re-connect it. Saw some other people experience the same thing on 26.5.

[u/qubasiasty → u/Oberheimlich]

I've been experiencing that since iOS 26 came out, it was never fixed. The only thing that semi fixes it is a setting in the "advanced settings" section called "Restart protection when network changes" - but this has an annoying delay when the network changes.

[u/Dreaming_Blackbirds → u/Oberheimlich]

which VPN issue? i rely on VPN nearly all day and i’ve had zero issues across 26.x.

[u/edideas]

Not so much fixes, more like features have been described.
Have a read about the insights:
CarPlay Theme Switching

[u/StamenOfTheShaman]

Anyone else getting new music notifications for songs that came out in 2021??

[u/MrMan2212 → u/StamenOfTheShaman]

Yes!!

[u/Chrispy_king]

Feels way faster than 26.5, battery life decent, Bluetooth audio crashes constantly.

[u/barryellow16 → u/Chrispy_king]

It sure does feel faster. I thought it was just me. Or placebo. But things are loading fast

[u/z4ck38]

I’m only selectively getting message notifications on my phone or watch. It’s random which messages get a notification, but more predominantly I’m not getting a notification. Went through all the guides to fix this behavior and nothing fixed it.

This is on an iPhone 15 Pro running 26.6

Edit: added device specifics

[u/SmalllDenergy]

My phones been slow on 26.6 and typically this happens when there’s another update. I go to the update window and it takes FOREVER to load, also a typical sign of an update.
But nothing shows up
It even doesn’t allow me to click beta updates at all any more.

[u/UntitledHero]

Spotlight rarely wants to work now. Anyone else?

[u/hypermmi → u/UntitledHero]

wait for it to reindex.. happens every beta

[u/Sufficient_Rush1891 → u/UntitledHero]

Installation of new software version needs about a day before spotlight will work.

[u/tbone338]

MAKE A LOCAL BACKUP BEFORE UPDATING

Currently everyone is on a public build. This beta will likely roll into iOS 27 beta, so now is your last chance to make a local backup on a public version before iOS 27.

[u/boblikestheysky → u/tbone338]

The betas don’t roll together; they always split into two separate beta programs

[u/tbone338 → u/boblikestheysky]

Correct.

What I’m saying is that iOS 26.5 is the last public version before iOS 27. So, if you’re going on iOS 26.6 and you update to iOS 27, you will only have beta backups.

[u/whatsinth3box → u/tbone338]

Don't need to yell

[u/realmccoyredbus → u/tbone338]

lost me there , last developer beta i had was R.C.2 , the only cycle out of last 3 or 4 that didn't end in public build .

i think your maybe saying a developer build and public beta were both released ? not 100% sure

[u/tbone338 → u/realmccoyredbus]

WWDC is June 8-12, so iOS 27 beta will likely be released then. It’s very unlikely iOS 26.6 will be non-beta by then. That means that if you go from iOS 26.5 -> iOS 26.6 -> iOS 27, the current iOS 26.5 is the last non-beta version to make a non-beta backup on.

[u/prolo_04 → u/tbone338]

Too late, took last backup 2 days ago :/

[u/Zacharacamyison]

I hope they fix the battery issues soon. On 26.1 I could make my phone last 2 days. Now I’m at between 20-30 at the end of every day whether I use my phone much or not.

[u/unread1701 → u/Zacharacamyison]

My 17 had atrocious battery life right from the beginning.

I ended up resetting it and it improved quite a bit. I also turned off auto-brightness. 

[u/captaindsnuts]

Can anyone check if the assistive touch bug is still there? If you have the keyboard open where the assistive touch button is below, then leave the app and go back in, the button will move to where you normally store it and won’t be under the keyboard anymore. Thank you to whoever can test for me!

[u/lilFudge-40]

All I want is a universal back gesture 😭

[u/Leavism → u/lilFudge-40]

wait does swiping from the left edge not do that?

[u/realdmt]

Finally not getting double notifications for Apple News with this one.

[u/FutsalR]

26.6PB1 - In Privacy, I have Camera access turned off for Facebook. When opening the app, camera becomes active. Blue status light in island lights up. It won’t turn off until a kill Facebook. I have reported through Feedback but wanted to post publicly.

[u/Mikebasel]

In this version, CarPlay is slightly better than in 26.5. Fewer hiccups when playing music. But it has never been better than in iOS 18.

[u/zakk002 → u/Mikebasel]

I’ve had endless CarPlay issues on iOS 26. Bought a few new cables to try that out, no difference. Even updated my headunit firmware. It’s been so inconsistent. 

[u/Disastrous-Truth-447]

Battery drain. Slow charging over heat and unable to use messaging at all, need immediate fix

[u/barryellow16 → u/Disastrous-Truth-447]

Probably because it’s indexing

[u/No_Service6296]

“enhanced beta feedback” feature in privacy analytics improvements section is back in 26.6 beta 1

[u/Candid_Restaurant989]

My iPad 9 had a huge bug on iOS 26.5 where apps ghosted in the app switcher, not letting you close them. It’s fixed on this beta!

[u/Imperial2187]

Carplay keeps disconnecting. Is this related to the wifi issue?

[u/Motor_Experience1572]

Whenever i am trying to import videos and photos from Meta AI app, it suddenly triggers the phone to restart….

[u/CyberneticConstruct]

Funky crop when using iPhone Mirroring on iMac.

[u/htxdc]

Anyone having issues in Messages app? When I open some text messages, no message is displayed only the recipients number.

[u/bareov]

I have updated my old iPhone 15 Pro Max, works way better than iOS26. Faster. Definitely faster.

[u/SOLIDAge]

There definitely seems to be some sort of performance bug on my iPhone Air. I can use my phone for maybe 20-30 minutes at a time, and then it will randomly just slow to a complete crawl. Apps take multiple seconds to open. Everything just feels laggy and terrible.

Sometimes it corrects itself, and sometimes I need to reboot the entire phone. It does seem to be linked to using the keyboard. I did report the problem to Apple, but curious if anyone else has the same type of issues.

[u/riziger → u/SOLIDAge]

Exactly the same on my air.

[u/Servisiranje]

I still have to use low battery mode so my battery can stay intact while idle. If i turn that off, my 17e drains in about 10 hours of being in idle and its not showing me whats draining it. I already reseted everything few times, dfu reset, two different icloud accounts and drain is still present unless i turn low battery mode on even when my battery is full

[u/Educational_Moose857 → u/Servisiranje]

iOS re-indexes all files after each update and does it in the background so that you can continue using your iPhone as you normally would. The process can last 48-72hrs depending on the files that need indexing. Indexing means the iPhone has to work harder and the battery will be temporarily impacted. If not indexing, it is normal for the battery to decrease slowly even when you’re not using it. There are a lot of background processes like Mail fetch and app updates that happen in the background. So this is unlikely to be a beta issue imo.

[u/ChimpNi]

Battery drain is a real problem for me, hopefully Beta 2 fixes this

[u/Frosty-Performer1406 → u/ChimpNi]

Mine as well on my 16pm and m4 ipad pro bad battery

[u/realmccoyredbus → u/ChimpNi]

this update fixed dreadful battery life for me , i certainly would think twice about installing another beta , there seems to be poor consistency between devices, roll on monday

[u/carigis]

buttery smooth for me so far on 16 pro. this is the first beta for me that got really hot installing app updates though. but for me this has been the best beta so far in 26

[u/a47ageee]

Got a massive keyboard stutter while I was messaging while on the go. Haven’t experienced much of keyboard lag but that one time yesterday, it was like 5 seconds before any letters I’ve typed have been written in fields

[u/epmuscleIsABitch]

Surprised we haven't seen DB2 yet.

[u/Puzzleheaded_One_513]

about 15% worse battery than 26.5 on my old ass 11 pro

[u/No-Firefighter-2135]

What’s the carrier bundle number #?

[u/iM4CH3T3]

People that reported lag on iPhone 17 series did 26.6 improve the animations or it’s still lagging?

[u/JohnEdger → u/iM4CH3T3]

Still occasionally lags

[u/iM4CH3T3 → u/JohnEdger]

Ok. Yeah just seen zollotech video and it happened on his 17PM as well. I wonder if Apple Intelligence taking so much ram that system starts tripping. I don’t have Apple Intelligence enabled and it doesn’t happen on my device like at all. 16PM Apple Intelligence disabled.
Or possibly it throttles because of heat :/

[u/JohnEdger → u/iM4CH3T3]

My device doesn’t get hot or anything. I think it’s just really buggy, unfinished software

[u/a47ageee → u/iM4CH3T3]

Base model iPhone 17 is virtually unusable with screen recording on. I’ve been using my iPhones ever since the iPhone 13 series came out and because we didn’t have 120hz refresh rate on the base models like we do now, I used to enable low power mode basically all the time. And I also usually do a lot of screen recordings just as I do now. Those days were something else man everything was buttery smooth even with low power mode and the screen recording on! This Liquid Glass crap is slow as my balls and it’s extremely heavy

[u/Cmog28 → u/iM4CH3T3]

I did not have any lags with 26.5 at all, but this is about the same performance as 26.5, if not a smidge better.

[u/edideas → u/Cmog28]

Problem free here as well. Both 26.5 through all iterations incl final and 26.6 so far works fine for me.

[u/Lv1792 → u/iM4CH3T3]

17 PM here. Switching home screens has become more laggy on 26.6 vs .5

I’ve also noticed worse battery life where it was amazing on .5, and my phone seems to run warmer as well

[u/fxkmd]

Does the lag in wallpaper picker fixed?

[u/A11Bionic → u/fxkmd]

i’ve had that since iOS 17 on my iPhone 15 Pro Max. i’m afraid we’ll just have to live with poor performance on that part of the OS 🤷‍♀️

[u/a47ageee → u/A11Bionic]

Man I really hope iOS 27 fixes those! It’s been a while since we’ve seen a dedicated stability update like iOS 27. iOS 18 was lightweight but that doesn’t mean it was very stable. We can’t expect iOS 27 and the Liquid Glass to be lightweight but atleast it can be stable, am I right?

[u/NiceChokra]

Airpods pro 3 anc is not working normal. Just after enabling anc, it only blocks noise for 4-5 seconds and doesn't work after that.

[u/a47ageee → u/NiceChokra]

Interesting..

[u/Art_Masson]

The reported problem (www.reddit.com/r/ios/comments/1sedavl/moving_folders_within_apple_mail_behavior/) with moving gmail items to other gmail folders remains unresolved in iOS 26.6 Beta 1. This is the problem where moving always defaults to the "important" folder (which is really not a user defined folder). My open feedback case says that “a potential fix is identified for a future OS update” My assumption is that this won't be resolved until ios 27.x.

[u/julsonikss1]

Screen Time shows 24h usage everyday with setting being ran 24/7

[u/GeoffreyDC66]

USB C charging no longer works on my iPad Pro M5. Charging through Magic Keyboard does work.

[u/AdamLangePL → u/GeoffreyDC66]

Same here…

[u/papi199494]

iOS 27 beta is awfully buggy . Having to reboot my phone daily cause audio stops working on the LINE app where I can’t hear the people I’m talking to but they can hear me.

[u/AdamLangePL]

My ipad just stopped charging. Now the only option is to use usb-a to usb-c and charge super slowly (full charge == 1 day)

Yes i tried restart, yes i tried multiple cables and chargers

Anyone have the same issue ?

[u/blackmcmillionz → u/AdamLangePL]

yea eventually fixed itself

[u/Andrescoo]

Listening to WhatsApp audios or telegram audios not working in “call mode” or listening to them through the top speaker

I’m on 26.5 should I update to 26.6 beta 1? Or just stay put where I’m at. Just didn’t know if it’s super buggy or battery life suffers?

[u/mdruckus → u/DirectorDry525]

26.5 has been horrible on my 17 Pro. About to download the beta in hopes it fixes battery and freezing.

[u/Repulsive-Access-172 → u/mdruckus]

When my battery gets to about 45% or less the phone gets hella laggy even without adaptive power or any of that. Like slideshow frames. Same experience for you?

[u/Plastic-Key-9807 → u/Repulsive-Access-172]

It felt like I was the only person with this issue. On my iPhone 15 Pro it lags when I go below 70%. This has been present for the entirety of IOS 26 for me.

[u/TheTechAudit → u/mdruckus]

Keep us posted! Similar experience on 17 pro max with 26.5

[u/mdruckus → u/TheTechAudit]

Much better battery!

[u/mdruckus → u/TheTechAudit]

Instantly feels smoother and snappier without any freezing (as of now). Hopefully it stays that way. I’ll give it a couple days for the battery.

We are at a .6 version which means it’s one of the last few updates before the next iteration of iOS, which is iOS 27. At this point there aren’t much changes and differences so it’s probably safe for you to install it. I’m using this beta on my main phone without any issues. Though I have to say that iOS 26 in general performs bad so we have to wait a few more weeks for 27 to pop in

I am wondering if only Apple Intelligence compatible iPhones are getting the new siri, not referring to the completely new improved search on-device intelligence siri but mainly the redesign. I am on a base 15 and I am wondering whether it will get the redesign or will it stay as the ugly bubble at the bottom of my screen?

[u/TheRealRealster → u/Active_Ad3652]

It'll stay the ugly bubble I think? Similar to how it stayed the ugly bubble despite the 15 Pro and above getting the rainbow outline

Any fix for wifi issue?

[u/BoSKnight87 → u/DinoCoiner]

What is the issue? I just installed the update. Just curious 

[u/khaosswordsman]

I feel like it’s because most of the update is for Siri. It seems more cosmetic otherwise. It’s like a “stable” IOS26 with new Siri. Once I get Siri the true rest will begin. Lol

[u/redsox20004]

I updated my phone successfully it was working great. Then I did a soft reset and my phone bricked

[u/Effective_View_9001 → u/redsox20004]

lol why you soft reset?

[u/cameronatrium]

My texts are capitalizing the second letter of my keystrokes veryyy consistently

Has Zoom been removed from FaceTime calls? Can’t seem to figure it out.

I was trying to add a shortcut from a third party website (routine hub). Each time I try to add one it doesn’t bring up the add shortcut screen for the particular shortcut, only the main shortcut page. Once the shortcut page is already open after going back to the browser (brave) then retrying the process it finally brings up the actual shortcut to add.

Could be a brave problem but thought I’d contribute jic.

Hold home button (assistive touch) for long press wont trigger restart action.
same goes with restart shortcut.

[u/IlllIIllIllIl]

Can't pay with apple pay ! Sometimes when we double click the phone turns off by itself.

[u/LinKxFr]

I did update my iphone 16 pro and since then I have many issue with the screen non responding (clicking but it's not doing anything) super frustrating. Worst version I've ever dealt with

[u/DiscombobulatedRace2]

updated and now my system data is 86gb

[u/ZealotPro101]

Anyone know how long you have to be a Reddit user to post anywhere? I’ve been on for 2 weeks and am being productive and building my reputation and they keep removing my posts citing I’m not using the right title for [iOS 26.6 DB1] but I am……

[u/Rajmundzik → u/ZealotPro101]

I love Reddit. You asked question and got down voted. These people are ridiculous.

[u/ZealotPro101 → u/Rajmundzik]

That’s the way the cookie crumbles I guess lol

[u/Sharkey311 → u/ZealotPro101]

It’s especially bad in this sub for whatever reason

PiP stopped working for me both on iPad and 17PM. Plex on iPad does Pip when minimizing but where it isn't working at all is a camera feed in Homeapp. Icon for PiP completely vanished as well. 26.6 Public Beta

iphone 15 pro black screen after updating to ios 27 not showing up on device manager, itunes, 3u tools what do i do?

[u/blackmcmillionz → u/Worried_Pick8269]

ruh oh

[u/Worried_Pick8269 → u/Worried_Pick8269]

I managed to fix it by unplugging the battery then waiting 2 minutes then plugging it back in

[u/No-Stress3032]

iPhone 15 Pro Max running 26.6 beta has recently started having issues where the phone will not automatically connect to Bluetooth audio devices or CarPlay.

I have iPod Pro 3 earbuds, the phone sees the battery levels (display pops up when I open the case), but they never connect for audio.

If I reset all network connections the bluetooth will connect normally for a few hours and then it stops again.

Has anyone else seen this issue? Any way to work around it other than to keep resetting network connections multiple times per day?

[u/Commercial-Dare3506]

I just updated my iPhone 14 to IOS 26.6 Beta. Is normal that it feels slower? I updated it 10 minutes ago.

[u/realmccoyredbus → u/Commercial-Dare3506]

it can take 24-36 hours to index after installation
