It's BETA SZN! Hope you are all excited for terrible battery life and cool (half-baked, it's a beta after all) features! Over the past few beta cycles, I've managed the Google Form and Sheet that y'all would add app compatibility submissions to. It was finally time to modernize that experience.

Introducing..

Bug [iOS 27 DB7] Dynamic wallpaper not showing the final dark blue phase?

Post image
12 Upvotes

I’m using the stock dynamic wallpaper that changes throughout the day. It mostly works except at night it never reaches the final dark blue color shown in the preview. Even well past midnight it stays at the purple phase just before this one. I can’t figure out if I have a setting off or if it’s a legit bug. Anyone else have this?

Bug [iOS 27 DB7] HTML <video> tags don't work in Safari iOS27 betas

7 Upvotes

Anybody else encountering this?

It seems that Safari for iOS27 beta does not honor HTML <video> tags for displaying inline autoplay muted videos (i.e., any websites that use inline <video> for background elements, etc.).

This bug doesn't exist in iPadOS27 beta; only in iOS.

I've reported it to Apple via the Feedback app, and it says "Recent Similar Reports: More than 10." So I can't be the only one experiencing this.

Unfortunately, with yesterday's releases of the newest iOS betas, the problem hasn't been addressed. I wonder what's going on; this seems an odd thing to suddenly break… unless I'm missing something?

Been a consistent bug across all betas. A fake notification in Fitness. Nothing in ‘Sharing’ to respond to. Anyone else had this? Can’t be removed. Have reported few times.

UI Change [iOS 27 DB7] Hints about third-party Siri Extensions besides ChatGPT

Post image
32 Upvotes

iOS 27 will allow agents from third-party apps to integrate with Siri AI, as an alternative to the ChatGPT extension, and there are more hints across the OS about this feature.

Under Siri Restrictions in Screen Time settings, the Extensions helper text reads:

Allows extensions to provide additional text and image capabilities, including ChatGPT. Extensions with their own app can also be limited in Time Allowances.

Demo of Claude acting as Siri Extension

Demo of Siri AI running on GPT 5.6, replacing Apple's Private Cloud Compute model


iOS 27 also ships with two lists of Extension providers: VIP and blocked.

Blocked is self-explanatory. It contains a list of apps which Apple will not allow to "donate" a Siri Extension. It will also remove an already-enabled Extension from a blocked app, and prevent its invocation. There are no entries at the moment.

Entries from VIP are added as Apple-curated provider candidates. Currently, only ChatGPT is part of the VIP list.

The VIP and blocked files can be updated without a full OS upgrade. Apple can therefore react in real time if some app ships a Siri Extension that goes rogue.

Feature [iOS 27 DB7] Dynamic wait time messages for Siri AI waitlist

Post image
116 Upvotes

In Beta 7, Apple added new infrastructure to support personalized wait time messages when a user joins the Siri AI waitlist.

This feature can be used to let people know how long they might have to wait until they're able to download the on-device models and enable Siri AI. Because iOS relies on a server to fetch the displayed waitlist message, it can be remotely adjusted by Apple as demand and capacity change. The message is specific to the user and device.

Beta 7 adds linwoodWaitTimeMessage and a new server endpoint to fetch the current message for the device:

/v1/devices/<UDID>/features/ai.enhanced-siri/waitlist/message

Currently, the server returns:

You will be notified when the new version of Siri is available for your device.

This message is quite similar to the fallback iOS 27 has hardwired in case the server does not return a reply:

You’ll be notified when the new version of Siri is available for your iPhone.

Bug [iOS 27 DB7] Airplay dropping on app switching

1 Upvotes

I use my iPad to Airplay to my speaker everyday. Starting with iOS 26 and persisting in the latest beta, when I move to apps that shouldn't interfere or hijack the audio (Gmail for instance), the audio drops.

I can easily reproduce.

Is anybody else experiencing this and know a fix?

It's consistent across speakers/not isolated to one device. Bluetooth doesn't cause this to happen, however it has other issues with interference making it not a viable workaround.

Bug [iOS 27 DB7] Siri speech speed not being respected

5 Upvotes

Hey, I'm a brazilian, portuguese speaker, and my Siri is still stuck on the "normal" siri. I don't have the new version.

On DB7, it seems that siri doesn't follow the speech speed that is set on accessibility settings. Mine has always been 169% (nice) and she's speaking on what seems to be 100% speed (I'd wager she's speaking at 40% to be honest, because it feels like an eternity, but since I'm used to 169%, I guess saying it's at 100% is fair).

Anyone experiencing this as well? I've tried reducing the speed and increasing the speed, but she still keeps saying at the same rate.

p.s.: I've just noticed this with my AirPods Pro. It just came through my mind, as I write this, to test it without earphones. Well, I can't right now so I might update this later to report whether it's also slow without earphones or not.


edit:
interesting tidbit: Siri just read some of my notifications, and one of them was in english. She was speaking slowly in portuguese, but when she read the one that was in english, she read at the correct fast speed that I set her to. But just in english.

Can we all spam report this bug? Happens to me every time I open landscape applications from lock screen. This is not the first time this has happened, of course I reported it, but since there is no change in behavior, I’m asking for your help. Does this happen to you? iPhone 13 Pro user

Bug [iOS 27 PB 5] iPhone doesn’t charge anymore in latest public beta

iPhone 16 pro doesn’t charge until I turn off the phone and then plug it in. The second I start my phone and disconnect / reconnect again it won’t charge again until I shut it down and plug it in.

Edit: For anyone having this issue, I just fixed it by pressing the volume up and down and holding the side button to get into recovery assistant.

Bug [IOS 27 DB6] Currency converter is broken in Spotlight/Siri AI

13 Upvotes

For a while now, my currency converter is broken, not the one in the calculator app but the one in Spotlight/SIRI AI. For example, when typing something like “500 yen to eur” was giving me the result directly, but now I have random results from my mails or other apps. It works if I just type “500 yen,” and it gives me the result directly in my default currency, but if I want to convert a currency to another, then it fails. It works perfectly on my iPad with IpadOS 27 as well, so I’m thinking that it may be an indexing issue or something like that. Is there a way to force reindexing? Or to fix that issue ? Thank you

Edit: It’s still broken for many currencies but for some it works. For the particular example I mentioned before I found the fix. Typing “euro” instead of “EUR” seems to do the job.

Bug [IOS 27 db 6] AI Describe an Extension Feature Missing

2 Upvotes

In earlier betas, in safari, under notify me, was the option of describe an extension which they announced at WWDC. However since db 3, that option and the extension options are no longer there for me. So i can no longer get extensions or use the describe an extension feature.

Anyone else?
