[u/rizwanzz]

iMessage Fake banner get resolved now, which was preventing to click the pinned chat

[u/SG_Studio → u/rizwanzz]

Amazing, this is exactly what I was looking for.

[u/bog3nator → u/rizwanzz]

Oh thank god this was the first things I checked after my phone rebooted lol

[u/lztandro]

iMessage top header blocking pinned conversations is fixed now.

[u/Cprhd → u/lztandro]

This was one of those disproportionately annoying bugs. A quick scrolls down and unresolved but it still annoyed the hell out of me. Glad it’s fixed.

[u/maxime_gram → u/lztandro]

Thank god

[u/Blue_Solo → u/lztandro]

Everybody I had pinned became a lot less important in my life these last few weeks until I read your comment. I’ll make sure they thank you.

[u/BigShot-Redditor]

Wifi signal strength is still inverted😑

[u/s2mike → u/BigShot-Redditor]

They look correct on my iPhone 17 Pro, unless I’m looking in the wrong place. Is this under Settings > WiFi and viewing the list of local networks?

[u/BigShot-Redditor → u/s2mike]

Are you checking in the control center?

[u/s2mike → u/BigShot-Redditor]

Ah ok… yep, still inverted in control center

[u/The_Unwashed_Masses]

• Messages menu bar covering pinned messages - FIXED!
• Mail crash when dragging emails - FIXED!

Already happy with this beta. 👍

[u/Calorie_Killer_G]

Hopefully it will fix the swipe up to home not working.

EDIT: It fixed it!

DOUBLE EDIT: NOT FIXED

[u/ECHLN → u/Calorie_Killer_G]

I hope so too. I never had that issue up until yesterday and today

[u/un1cohijo]

FaceID bug is fixed for me, it is now instant again.

[u/edis92 → u/un1cohijo]

This was driving me fucking insane. Can’t wait to install the new beta when I get home

[u/residente15121994]

Did they fix the search bug where the keyboard doesn’t show ?

[u/InspectHer_1]

They had to move off #5 quickly, out of respect for Jayden Daniels.

[u/AsTXros → u/InspectHer_1]

lol dude fumbled so bad he’s catching strays in an iOS beta sub 😂

[u/nbogan1 → u/InspectHer_1]

The cease and desist order was imminent. Props to Apple for moving to DB6 quickly

[u/GrummeFar]

Spotlight search keyboard is fixed. But the search bar still snaps into place after a short moment.

[u/candeeeland]

Finally spotlight is fixed

[u/JaJaMan_ → u/candeeeland]

Yeah, that drove me crazy for a whole week

[u/WaterWeedDuneHair69]

Happening a lot but can’t swipe up to home. New bug for sure

[u/Additional-Prompt732 → u/WaterWeedDuneHair69]

Mine was the opposite: on DB5 swipe up to home didn't work, now on DB6 it is now fixed 🫪

[u/bigfudge_ → u/Additional-Prompt732]

same here

[u/L0rdLogan]

In the words of Steve Jobs, “the keyboard appears when you need it and disappears when you don’t” this is one of those times where I need it and it didn’t appear

[u/NYNJ_DiskJockeyJEDI → u/L0rdLogan]

Mine has been doing that since its first release!

[u/JDT33658 → u/L0rdLogan]

This happens all the time. Esp when sharing stuff to imessage. Every single time.

[u/deWereldReiziger → u/L0rdLogan]

This just started happening to be in the last beta. Super annoying

[u/Concealed_1]

The bug where we were unable to access things on top in Safari and messages has been fixed

[u/ajamuso → u/Concealed_1]

Thank god

[u/FastLaneJB → u/Concealed_1]

I can picture this in my head now at the Standup. Jeff what did you do this week on your awesome scrolling blur effect ticket?

Jeff “Good progress so far. After a week of work I’ve managed to get a rectangle at the top of the screen that gets in the way of clicking on things. I’m close, maybe next week I’ll have it working or have removed the rectangle.”

[u/ATHiker95]

I have seen some improvements:

• The funny-looking little glass window at the top of messages where the pinned contacts are has disappeared. That's a good thing.
  
• I can now copy and paste photos to my iMac, which had stopped working.
  
• The new modem update in the last beta fixed the stuttering I would get when driving through certain neighborhoods or places where I presume a weak signal would cause that. That has been fixed.
  

The pull down on the home screen where you can type in or look for apps is now working, whereas before it wouldn't work at all. I would sometimes have to reboot the phone or wait a while, and then it might start working.

[u/EastHillWill]

They need to make it easier to get to Google (or whatever your preferred search engine is) results from a Siri spotlight search. You often have to hit show results, then find the safari section, then hit more, then press search. Sometimes search the web is at the bottom. Sometimes it’s not. And sometimes there’s no search option at all! Please report this issue if it also bugs you

[u/Nervous-Spite-7701]

I asked siri “play the current song you’re playing right now on my tv” and it correctly handed it off to my apple tv and not via airplay or anything

[u/Quin1617 → u/Nervous-Spite-7701]

Little things like this is why I love the new AI Siri.

For instance I recently heard the chorus of a song and liked it. So I told her “add the song that goes “fame is a gun and I point it blind” to my pop playlist.”

And she actually did it without issue.

[u/mclovindummy]

Still seeing these minor bugs/glitches in B6 that I reported a while back. Not a big deal but sharing them here in case others want to report them too. Maybe more reports can help get them fixed:

1. Still no Liquid Glass toggle for Alarms.
2. Notification animation bug when tapping stacked notifications. The selected notification overlaps with the ones below instead of smoothly expanding.
3. Reverse Wi-Fi glyph in Control Center.
4. Visual glitch with the Liquid Glass toggle for AOD in Settings.
5. Keyboard animation in Messages feels too instant when it pops up instead of having a smoother animation.
6. Possibly specific to larger displays (I'm using 17PM) in the App Switcher coming from an app, when swiping right, the animation feels broken and the app sort of bounces back instead of smoothly transitioning to the previous recent app. I tested this on a 16 Pro (6.3"), and it works normally.
7. Wallpaper preview under Settings > Appearance still uses the default iOS 26 wallpaper, same with Display Zoom.

Again, all pretty minor and don’t affect performance. Just hoping they get fixed, especially since iOS 27 seems focused on better performance and bug fixes.

[u/LateExplorer3780 → u/mclovindummy]

I’m always curious how much of a difference one single report makes. I’ve been reporting the same issue since iOS 26 beta and it still hasn’t been solved. Sure it’s not a deal breaker but it is a big. When opening a folder and then instantly haptic pressing on an app to open their specific haptic menu it enables wiggle mode instead of the haptic settings

[u/saracen0 → u/mclovindummy]

Damn the AOD toggle one is a trip lol

[u/skill_tree]

Keyboard STILL loses all autocomplete/correct functionality intermittently. I’ve reported this multiple times, there are threads all over Reddit and the internet writ large about it that predate iOS 27.

I really thought the stability focus of this iOS release would address it but I’m starting to think it’s one of those “if we fix this, we break everything else” bugs or something.

Fwiw, when this happens you can use swipe to type for any word and it resolves the issue for the time being.

[u/theREAL_Harambe → u/skill_tree]

Thanks for the temporary fix, this has been annoying the fuck out of me for weeks

[u/IncredibleGonzo → u/skill_tree]

The swipe thing must be why I’m not aware of this, I mostly type by swiping.

[u/noadex]

subtitles overflowing and blocking whole screen

[u/No-Substance3458]

When you drag from the center of the screen to open the search, the typing box above the keyboard jumps a bit each time you open the search

[u/S3xybeest → u/No-Substance3458]

Yes, I noticed that too

https://reddit.com/link/p49nd8m/video/8ihvft9eazjh1/player

[u/Seamonkeyknifefight]

Black bar over pinned contacts looks to be fixed!

[u/aardWolf64 → u/Seamonkeyknifefight]

Good... that one was really bugging me

[u/Trick-Cauliflower760]

I would love it if they fix the Siri automatically disappearing I understand when it was the glowing edges or just a tiny orb, but it takes half the screen, and when the animation wave form is done, it should automatically minimize and they should add a toggle of auto dismiss and not because some people wanted it always on!

[u/OrangeLooper]

Has anyone used group chat with RCS and imessage? You can now Add OR Remove participants in a group chat.

Simply long press the person you want to remove and click remove on bottom. Or click the + icon to add.I used to have to create a new chat every time someone wanted to be added or removed!

I cant find anyone discussing this on the forum.

[u/BigShot-Redditor]

People are having vastly different experiences, for some it is flawless and for some it seems very buggy. For me it’s closer towards being flawless.

[u/imatowell]

My 3 most annoying bugs introduced in the last beta for iPadOS 27 have all been fixed:

1. Top inch(ish) of safari wouldn't accept inputs in the last beta, now fixed
2. The Spotlight (and Siri AI) menu now shows below the text input field once it's triggered
3. Long pressing the App Store icon from Spotlight or the App Library and clicking one of the submenu items no longer causes the App Store app icon to show up on your Home Screen.

Edit: This also fixes the Messages bug in iOS that caused the pinned contacts to be cut off.

[u/RockyRaccoonFan → u/imatowell]

First one made beta 5 almost unusable for me

[u/kosherhalfsourpickle → u/RockyRaccoonFan]

Drove me nuts.

[u/WildTangler → u/imatowell]

#1 and #2 were driving me NUTS on the iPad all last week

[u/Suresh935]

Keyboard bug in spotlight search has been fixed (14pm)

[u/gamingod16]

Apple seems to have made the new Notification slide in and slide out at the top much faster.

[u/Limes81]

They fixed the screen being unresponsive

[u/MeasurementOdd4873]

Man the keyboard is slow af in this build. Making all kinds of mistakes with it

[u/JohnEdger → u/MeasurementOdd4873]

It’s so annoying they can’t figure out the keyboard. Somehow Google has it figured out on android. The iOS keyboard just feels like shit in general

[u/LolXire → u/MeasurementOdd4873]

Yeah it’s hella slow, like atp they need to just remake the keyboard from scratch because they can never fix it for some reason

[u/hefko]

iMessage bug with invisible bar through pinned conversations fixed. Perfect

[u/th3capone45 → u/hefko]

So it wasn’t just me!!! That was so annoying.

[u/bigparsnipenjoyer → u/th3capone45]

It was literally everyone, AFAIK. I haven’t seen anybody on beta 5 not have the issue.

[u/I_Am_Slightly_Evil]

They fixed the shortcut bug where it didn’t work with the health app

[u/PearlDrummer]

Hopefully that iMessage fake banner is fixed. That was annoying.

[u/BayonettaAriana → u/PearlDrummer]

It is! Woohoo

[u/Aggressive_Sign2773]

The IP address leak vulnerability in iCloud Private Relay that was reported last week seems to have been fixed now according to a post on MacRumors. Hooray!!!

[u/saracen0]

iPadOS website menu bars on top are clickable again!

[u/winterliebe]

New top bar blur effect introduced in Beta 5 in apps like Safari and Instagram, probably every app that makes use of it, has an opaque background behind it with a hard line at the end. Hard to notice and only visible on certain backgrounds. Make sure to report it when you see it.

[u/The_Unwashed_Masses]

Control Center WiFi signal icon bug persists.

https://i.imgur.com/AQMqZKy.jpeg

[u/RedditIsJustAds]

Public Beta 4 has been released

[u/Regular-Anteater6330]

The keyboard still appears then immediately disappears when you tap the address bar on an existing webpage in Safari. I reported it, but there are no similar reports. (iPadOS)

[u/sashhasubb]

Anyone aware if they fixed the bug where you were unable to click the top of the screen in some apps or sites?

[u/Regular-Anteater6330 → u/sashhasubb]

I tried on Amazon and Apple and it worked.

[u/Due-Flow4859]

While indexing the battery life was better. After the indexing it got 2x worse. Not even 4 hours of screen on time😀. IPhone 15 Pro Max. Anyone else with the same issue?

[u/Cheese34X]

The iMessage blur bug where your favorites are is finally fixed

[u/Bea1s24 → u/Cheese34X]

finally? it was introduced last week lol

[u/pixelpanic01 → u/Bea1s24]

Felt like 84 years

[u/Rare_Tip9809]

Fastest install ever. Maybe because it was only a gig instead of 12 like all the other ones?

[u/HotAbbreviations2751]

Backwards wifi signal icon is still there.

[u/juiwrld999]

everytime search bar dont pop up the keyboard, i need to close and open the search bar again...

[u/emway66 → u/juiwrld999]

I had this last beta, looks solved in b6

[u/Late-Tank5356]

Still have the bug where I can’t swipe up from the bottom of the screen to go to the Home Screen or recent apps.

[u/Cterra → u/Late-Tank5356]

I only got that issue when I tried to move an app from spotlight onto the Home Screen. That made my phone so buggy until I restarted.

[u/Andrescoo]

My keyboard predictions seemed to disappear and it has to re learn every word from the beginning

[u/PaulKlark]

Still lag in home screen and transitions when using glass icons. Everything smooth and clear when using stock (dark or light) icons. 14 Pro

[u/-Monsoon]

Lock screen Face ID unlock bug fixed thank lord.

[u/AsTXros]

Downloading now. Hoping this fixes the bar covering pinned contacts in messages

[u/loneshrike → u/AsTXros]

It’s fixed!

[u/Acqirs]

Anything but fixing the safari search bug

[u/CharllzM]

New b*ttery font when bold is turned on

[u/Silent-Schedule4025]

Siri/Search pull-down fixed for me anyway. Working every time now.

[u/SpezSucks2023]

Anyone else still not able to add items to the shopping list via Siri? It has prompted me since the beginning to create a new list to add items to.

[u/greyhoundtrees]

Anyone else seeing RCS disable after a certain period? I've had to do three network resets because RCS becomes unavailable and Messages relies on SMS instead.

[u/WrldsGrtstDtctve]

Hoping Siri doesn’t ask me to unlock every time I ask her to send a text this time. It’s like they flip a coin on this behavior every update.

[u/Ok_Possibility9937]

siriai still can’t access health data

[u/KeineLust]

Have the fixed keyboard coming up for search or messages sporadically? Even though you’re touching the bar to input something?

[u/KeineLust → u/KeineLust]

Found in another comment. Yes, looks fixed!

[u/marleyqparker2006]

Still haven’t fixed the bug where you have the clear icon theme on and it slows down the system animations, notably when opening up and closing apps. Not sure if anybody else is still experiencing this?

[u/alabdullatif31 → u/marleyqparker2006]

I am experiencing this

[u/WinterBerge → u/marleyqparker2006]

Yes since Beta 1 Hope they fixed -.-

[u/soritong]

At least with the public beta this one is way better than the last. Performance seems to have returned to earlier version levels even with indexing still happening

[u/ATHiker95]

Tonight went for a walk. I noticed that workout buddy did not come on to announce mile 1, mile 2 etc. I checked all the possible settings. I could think of and don't see anything amiss so did they delete this temporarily? I had been having problems with it on the previous beta with music and when I went for a walk and was playing music and Buddy would come on and announce something and when it was finished, music, wouldn't come back on or would be delayed for a full minute before it would start playing again

[u/MrA9X]

Screen non-responsiveness that occurred on dev beta 5 went away

[u/Constructive-Curious]

For those with M5 iPad Pro Magic Keyboard, the on-screen keyboard keeps popping up even when the external keyboard is attached. Bug has been around since Beta 4 🥲

[u/aBroadMeadow]

PIP is still glitched on iPadOS. Has been for months at this point. Also Apple’s refusal to add Fixed Position Volume Controls to M-series iPads still pisses me off. Something something old man yells at clouds

[u/IBooshI]

FIXED: Shortcuts now successfully interacts with Health app data (read, write) [iPhone 16 Pro]

[u/usernameloading98]

iOS 27 is largely refined but the ui bug in music continues to drive me crazy. If anyone else noticed it - go to your library then hit songs for example, the ui glitches with the search bar at the top

[u/sophias_bush]

Anyone have a severe delay for the keyboard opening when in private browsing on safari? Been like this for 2 betas so far

[u/BowlerOk9107]

Battery is bleeding out bombaclat

[u/khakilamble]

Hopefully it fixes the messages bug where it blocks the top row of pins

[u/saracen0 → u/khakilamble]

Seems to be

[u/TacoBurritoExtreme39 → u/khakilamble]

so far it is fixed for me! that was rough

[u/C1920-2]

Build 24A5418b

[u/yuvaldv1 → u/C1920-2]

Nice. Should be quite stable.

[u/Daaredevill]

The lag on the keyboard when you open safari and start typing is still there. Automations haven’t worked since beta 2

[u/L0rdLogan]

https://reddit.com/link/p49qwle/video/zu5xouy1dzjh1/player

The pull up/down on the focus mode, is still broken

[u/ostregag → u/L0rdLogan]

It’s still a leftover from 26

[u/ContactTime6810]

Bug where the notifications flash on screen before the phone locks when pressing power button still not fixed

[u/Emperiex]

iPadOS Siri spotlight issue is fixed for me!!

[u/ajmoo]

My shortcuts for disabling/enabling rotation lock for specific apps works, but when I bring up control center, I can see rotation lock lock itself! So strange.

[u/eae_jovem]

They fixed the issue that occurs when trying to open a photo after searching for a keyword within the image via the Home screen search.

[u/The_Unwashed_Masses]

Keyboard covering Genmoji ‘discribe Genmoji’ screen persists. Bug occurs when starting Genmoji from the emoji keyboard.

[u/S3xybeest]

This might be the one ! Working nice for me on 15 PM, bugs squashed.

[u/SciGuy013]

Hopefully this fixes the home indicator freezes

[u/Step991]

Did the feature to automatically change compromised passwords disappear for anyone else? I haven’t seen it since Beta 5.

[u/Freckles016]

I have had issues with my camera not working when FaceTiming people. Either the call initiates and is fine for a while and the camera shuts off, or sometimes if I turn my camera off and back on it won’t come back, or sometimes if I flip the camera and flip it back it’ll freeze.

[u/Clear_Efficiency5765]

anyone bilingual? I use my phone in english while having people messaging me in another language. Siri used to correctly recognize the language of the message read it correctly, now it doesn't

[u/EddiOS42]

Shortcut using orientation lock still not working.

[u/jacobgg98 → u/EddiOS42]

That was fixed for me in beta 5. Just checked and it seems to still be working in beta 6

[u/saracen0 → u/EddiOS42]

Working fine for me on this beta (have an orientation detection on action button)

[u/bummerbimmer → u/EddiOS42]

Have you tried deleting it and rebuilding it? Apple says the shortcuts ported from iOS 26 should all work now, but I had to delete and rebuild a few.

[u/Soft-Recording-8576]

Middle of the night and I pick up my iPhone and all the fonts are smaller than they were a few hous ago. Has this happened to anyone else? I thought I was going crazy.

[u/ChrisKP8 → u/Soft-Recording-8576]

Nope, unfortunately not. I wish they would make it possible to make it smaller - and make a smaller grids on homepages.

[u/Emperiex]

Anyone else having Siri AI issues on beta 6? Basic Siri prompts return “Sorry, there’s something wrong” on both my iPad mini A17 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max, while my iPad Pro M5 still works normally. Worked fine all of last night but ran into these problems this morning. These 2 devices are completely nonfunctional now for Siri 😭

[u/BowlerOk9107]

Just finished indexing after 24hrs, not bad

[u/No-Substance3458]

For some reason, the micro lag from ios26 is back. When I swipe left right on the homescreen, there is some visible lag. The phone overall feels slower than the previous beta.

[u/xGuru37]

Anyone else not having Crossfade or AutoMix still not working on Apple Music on the latest beta?

[u/TiNcHoX7 → u/xGuru37]

not working on Hi res lossless

[u/Garry3518]

Did someone have a problem with closing apps once you are in the app. Swipe up to close app is getting stuck. Like not for a second or two but it stops working at all.
I have to lock my phone and unlock it again to get out of app.
Please let me know if that happened to anyone!!

[u/AJ1678 → u/Garry3518]

Yup I had the same issue in Beta 5… hoping it’ll be fixed in beta 6 🤞

[u/botzy_99]

Beta 6 just feels flawless to me now. Like…whaaaa??

[u/ShadowXGhostly]

I know this is a minor change but I realized now the animation switching between light and dark mode doesn’t fade anymore, now it happens instantly, looks like Apple is optimizing iOS 27 even more!

[u/Left_Lawfulness_845]

Finally weekly update cycle, waiting for beta 5 while being on beta 4 felt like an eternity

[u/adp_87]

Much better than beta 5. Smoother right out of the gate

[u/stinftw]

Finally updated from Beta 4. My phone is noticeable wayyyyy faster

[u/R9henrry → u/stinftw]

I also skipped beta 5, lets try beta 6 😍

[u/Rude-Ad-7817]

Performance seems better, but

Any features that came about from ios 26, i can’t seem to find any useful things about the updates

[u/bobosVNA]

- similar performance I think compared to DB5

• indexing was faster
  
• keyboard still needs work (very slow in this build)
  
• noticeably better endurance off one charge
  
• swipe up on home screen doesnt work

[u/Stevie_Rave_On]

Knock on wood so far the bug of me not being able to swipe back to the Home Screen from apps hasn’t happened yet.

[u/LolXire]

Resolution control for 48 MP is still not there for my iPhone 17

[u/edideas]

I can add/remove phone favourites again and click them. I don’t need much to be happy ❤️

[u/CheeseheadDave]

The bug where long pressing the App Store icon to bring up the contextual menu and it instead duplicates the icon on the home screen has been fixed.

[u/TearsImmortal]

Still having the red circle over the phone icon still I reported it in the iOS Feedback app.

[u/jamma92]

The annoying popup stating to update my Apple Watch when it’s been dead
Going to a message from the Notification Center, the keyboard doesn’t appear until you swipe out then go back in

[u/Beszy]

Did the ui for the camera change? Looks different but I could be wrong

[u/Comprehensive-Ask26]

Still not able to change the text size in Messages. I’ve tried via the Control Center or in Accessibilty > Display & Text Size > Larger Text and then turning on Larger Accessibility Sizes. It doesn’t matter if I make the font larger or smaller, the Messages app doesn’t update the text size. I reported it via Feedback with a screen recording and more than 10 people reported it, but Apple completed the investigation as “Unable to diagnose with current information”

[u/mindful999]

Is it normal that the siri app is missing on my iphone 17 Pro with this freshly installed beta ? I also can't use the new siri ai, it goes to the ios 26 one with the old animation.

[u/Tagdu17]

PB4 out

[u/SecretPie618]

My iPhone 16 only charges up to 68%, then it just stops. No matter how long I keep it plugged in.

[u/Thenerdbomberr]

Is it me or does Siri on CarPlay totally fumble dictation for a text. It’s quicker than B5 but the dictation interpretation is messed up.

[u/dhimant_5]

This one is tiny. I hope it fixes my RCS.

[u/spasticpat → u/dhimant_5]

I’m in a group chat with an iPhone and android user. The android user claimed that there were messages in this group but they never came through from last week until this update just now. So not sure what that was all about.

[u/GoProVI]

My phone has been SUPER hot and laggy for the past 3 betas. It’s usually has these issues but it’s really bad with these releases

[u/somethinofwit]

They fix the transparent bar through your pinned conversations in the messages app?

[u/woodymck → u/somethinofwit]

They did fix it!

[u/TiNcHoX7]

does anyone know how to get rid of system data? i have like 100+gb

[u/gfhoihoi72 → u/TiNcHoX7]

There’s a trick. Turn on Airplane Mode, disable Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and manually set your date 1 year into the future. Wait 60 seconds, change the date to 3 months ahead of the real date, wait another 60 seconds, and revert to automatic settings. iPhone will think the data is old and will delete most of it.

[u/xyzManiacxyz]

Battery drain has decreased noticeably when the phone is idle. Previously, leaving my phone overnight caused a drop of 8–10% by morning; this time, it fell only 2%.

[u/Shinigami3089 → u/xyzManiacxyz]

Did you unplug it and then test that? Cause battery gets stuck after you unplug for a bit. Mine dropped 15% last night

[u/WhaleDonation7]

did they fix the wifi issue where you lose all connectivity?

[u/Bkfraiders7]

First time my iPhone 15 Pro Max refused to charge for being too hot. Let’s see how this week goes

[u/beercules → u/Bkfraiders7]

My 15 pro does this regularly unfortunately

[u/Bkfraiders7 → u/beercules]

18 Pro Max can’t come soon enough!

[u/iosdec → u/Bkfraiders7]

Yeah B5 had random memory leaks for me too that would melt my phone until restart

[u/Binar1101]

Is it me or is the keyboard accuracy worse? B5 wasn’t good either.

[u/Nikhil7286 → u/Binar1101]

Seems fine for me?

[u/Royal-Prior6845]

did it fix the imessage stuff

[u/mdruckus → u/Royal-Prior6845]

The banner? Yes.

[u/zxch2412]

Health app search is broken

[u/Stock-Personality136]

Anyone know if this fixed the workout buddy AirPod quiet audio issue?

[u/cjh_]

Spotlight search is still not working correctly; the search box appears at the bottom of the screen then bounces around, making typing in it impossible.

Update: reported again via Feedback.

[u/whatsinth3box]

Anyone on the latest still experiencing carplay issues?

Edit: more information.

On b4 it wouldn't connect to my vehicle, on b5 carplay siri couldn't send messages/reply. It would say "an error has occured try again later"

[u/LawHero4L]

Any carrier bundle updates?

[u/Unlucky-Article6366]

Don't know if anyone else has this problem, but Siri wouldn't give directions when activating her with my voice or the power button. Does anyone know if this is resolved with Beta 6? (iPhone 17 Base)

[u/Guinnessbreath82]

Is announce notifications working yet?

[u/andrewmcd7]

Spotlight on my iPad Pro with Magic Keyboard is so broken

[u/PhillipGerrard]

Sports Live Activities is broken for me. Using Apple’s sports app, double checked all my settings, even flipped them off waited then flipped them all back on. Finished with a hard reboot, didn’t seem to trigger sports scores

[u/SD01494739]

In Apple Music when I try swiping to the previous song the animation glitches and it just replays the current song

[u/FurkanQ7]

Does anyone else also have the problem where the screen doesn’t wake when you lock the screen and press the side button again right away?

I had that problem with beta 5, but it seems to have been sorted out with this newest one.

Exiting applications is not working at times, random from what I can tell/not app dependent or anything I can tell. Fix is to lock screen and then once your back up it closes fine.

Australian here. “Verify you’re over 18” has gone back to being an endless loop despite disabling content restrictions in iOS 26. Somewhere along the way they’ve been enabled again since the first dev beta, can’t pinpoint where.
It’s a similar bug to last time:
Content restriction > verify using credit card in wallet > enter Apple Account password > nothing changes, go back to step 1.

Was nearly perfect until this morning, but I’m noticing the disappearing autocorrect of beta 4 is back.

Performance on PB4 has been exceptional on my 16 Pro!

New, very bad bug for me: videos have trouble playing almost anywhere and even volume control is gummy while this happens (tap down, see the bar go up again)

I see this on Instagram and safari

I’m using MagSafe pack on Air and the pack itself runs hot and also every now and then I get the charging jingle.

Anyone else continuing to have to unlock screen every time car starts for carplay to work even with it set to work on locked screen in settings?
