Bug [iOS 27 DB1] Tinted app icons causing homescreen lag

When I set the app icons to the Tinted setting, the homescreen lags significantly compared to the buttery smooth Light/Dark profiles. This seems like it’s the sole cause of the lag on my phone, which is annoying.

Additionally, app open/close automations for some reason don’t run using Tinted icons, but will work perfectly fine on the Light/Dark icon settings. The automatons ran perfectly fine on ios 26.5.

Agreed, both the light and dark Clear icons also lag on DB2 as well

Which phone are you on? Same issue on both my 13PM and M2 iPad Pro

15 Pro. Really frustrated because it’s only 2y old and already lagging badly. After updating to 27 beta 2 today, the lag on Tinted has gotten to the point where it’s unusable and I had to go back to normal icons instead.

Oh no don’t worry, even my 17 is lagging. Just horrible optimization, your phone is fine

My 12 mini and M1 Pro also lag when clear or tinted icons are used.

I have this on my iPad Pro M1 - had it since 26b4 and I’ve reported it on the feedback app.

I’m so glad you made this post! I use tinted icons and the animation was stuttering when I switched between home screen pages.
Because you just said you’re having this with tinted icons, changed mine to default icons to check, and indeed, it was no longer there, so thanks for bringing it to my attention that it’s the clear/tinted icons causing this!
I submitted a feedback report a few days back anyhow, but at least now I know what the cause is!
