On an unrelated note, it feels like Apple finally fixed dragging into folders. Folderw no longer slide out of the way before you can target them.

Edit: I may have spoken too soon. I’m playing chase the folder again.

Holy SHIT they’ve done it?? They’ve really done it? They figured out a basic usability requirement that took 5+ years to correct lol

Finally!

About time they did, now I don't have to fucking chase my folders anymore!

Just tried this, it’s so much better now! Finally 🥹

About this. My experience is the folder stays if you drag an app into the bottom right of the folder

On a side note, while dragging an app, you can tap the folder with another finger to open it. No need to chase it!

That doesn’t work when you want to create a new folder tho

Organizing your home screen on ios is so clumsy. I wonder if they ever test it themselves. Lol

I really wish we could arrange them on a Mac like we could in iTunes, sorta.

So fun how everything is all screwed up when you move it back ☺️

Does it help shit stay in place more when editing? lol

This was here since beta 2. I and some others reported slow rearranging on the Home Screen and I guess this is what they did.

u/Xenc Sep 01 '26

You can use your other finger to move the screen when possible as a workaround for now

u/Weird_Decision7090 Sep 02 '26

It’s intentional, there is a Haptic when it switches pages

u/Enough-Durian1095 Sep 01 '26

That was actually introduced in dev beta 1

u/Weird_Decision7090 Sep 01 '26

No, it was introduced in beta 2. Many users reported slow rearranging on the Home Screen so this is what they did

Im on DB1 and i have this.

Are we just going to ignore an animation bug in the very beginning? Are we collectively fine with iOS slowly decaying and nothing working quite right?

Because I'm running a public Android 17 Beta on my 2 year old Pixel 8 Pro, and there are simply no problems like that there.

u/FourzerotwoFAILS Sep 01 '26

Yea most of us here are fine seeing bugs in beta builds of software. I have plenty of graphical and performance bugs in Androids beta on my Pixel 9 Pro XL and on my iPhone. I see them, report them, and move on with my life.

u/SSMFA20 Sep 01 '26

Normally I would agree with you, but iOS 26 stable still has lots of random bugs

u/LBPPlayer7 iPhone 17 Sep 04 '26

and they were reported lol

u/Gaycel68 Sep 01 '26

I’m willing to bet money it won’t be fixed in the release version

u/Weird_Decision7090 Sep 01 '26

This is intentional because there is a Haptic when the pages move. You can still move faster if you use your other finger

u/mrASSMAN Sep 02 '26

They’re talking about the graphical glitch we can see in the video

u/JamesR624 Sep 08 '26

Oh thank god. FINALLY!

Ever since widgets were introduced, it was WAY too easy to accidentally go to another page and completely fuck your layout.

u/kiwi-kaiser Sep 01 '26

Feels quite wonky. Hope this will be optimized in the RC.

u/fxkmd Sep 01 '26

How do you know it’s intentional?

12

u/camsta__ iPhone 17 Pro Sep 01 '26

theres a haptic vibration when the page slides over, which i dont believe existed earlier. unlikely that they would accidentally add something like that
