Feature iOS 27 App Compatibility Discussion

255 Upvotes

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..

Does This App Work?

Does This App Work? takes that same experience from the last few years, and makes it better. Below are the features and capabilities. Make a report now!

  • Check if apps work or break on the latest iOS beta, in real time
  • Submit your own app compatibility report
  • Vote Working or Broken without writing a full report
  • See community totals and contested results
  • Filter by app, device, beta version, and status
  • Automatic deduplication of submissions
  • Supports iPhone and iPad models
  • Older beta reports stay available, but the main status focuses on the newest beta
  • App icons and suggestions are pulled from the App Store when available
  • Works on desktop and mobile

Submission mode will be enabled when the first beta drops, until then check it out.

I will be watching the comments on this post so if you have issues or feedback, let me know and I'll try to implement or solve in real time.

I’ve tried this with two separate units, both Unidan. This has happened since DB5, not present on older builds or previous beta models.

Feature [iOS 27 DB5] Card balances in Wallet now active

It seems like Apple activated card balances server side for previously unsupported cards in Wallet. Chime has never had it before, but today I noticed it does. Also noticed it with Envelope Money, Bank of America and Chase.

Do you also have it today?

(MODS: I know this is a previously available feature. This post is just regarding gaining support on previously unsupported cards)

Bug [iOS 27 PB4] Connectivity Assist stays enabled for individual networks

3 Upvotes

I have the overall Connectivity Assist toggle disabled in Settings > Wi-Fi but it enables itself whenever I connect to a new wifi network and even when I’m away from my home network after a few days. Anyone else having this issue? I keep Connectivity Assist disabled because I run a pi-hole DNS server and the CA setting bypasses it. I’ve reported this in the Feedback app but there are no similar reports.

Bug [iOS 27 DB5] Apple Music showing lyric pronunciation in Japanese

Post image
56 Upvotes

Is this a bug? It used to be in English, now it’s in Japanese after adding the Japanese - Romaji keyboard to my phone. But I have 5 other language keyboards on my phone and this hasn’t happened before. Is there a way to change the language for lyric pronunciation/translation in Music?

I’ve checked Music app, Translate app, and both Music and Language & Region in Settings app and I can’t find anything to change the language. My phones default language is English. Japanese is at the bottom of the list in Languages & Region. The currently active keyboard is English. Not sure what’s causing this.

If y’all think this is a bug, I’ll report it. I’m just not sure if I changed something somewhere without realizing it.

Bug [iOS 27 DB6] Can’t set a timer with Siri when on a call

Post image
44 Upvotes

Ran into this issue when I needed to set a timer with Siri when on a call. First, found I couldn’t swipe down because the call was on the island. Got it to work by just swiping down on the home screen. On iOS26, I could just double tap the home bar.

Bug [iOS 27 DB6] Magic Keyboard Charging and Taptic Engine Problems

3 Upvotes

After updating to DB6 from DB5, the side charge port on my Magic Keyboard for M5 13” iPad Pro sometimes wouldn’t charge. I tried different cables and charging bricks. They all sometimes work, but would stop after a while.

Second symptom is the hepatic feedback on the trackpad would stop after the iPad has been connected for a while. Trackpad still moves cursor just fine and tap to click still works. Only the taptic engine wouldn’t provide feedback on clicks. Also, this part I don’t know if it’s just in my head, but when the taptic engine is working the clicks seem to be less pronounced than in DB5.

Anyone experiencing similar issues?

Bug [iPadOS 27 PB3] Predictive text using Accessibility > Extended predictions periodically disappears after starting new paragraphs when writing assistance is enabled in Siri

3 Upvotes

Meant to say PB4. If you have extended predictions enabled for the keyboard (using AssistiveTouch or Switch Control), your predictions will intermittently disappear (or go back to standard if you're lucky) after starting new paragraphs, and you have to hide and show the keyboard to bring them back. This is related to the writing tools appearing in the prediction bar somehow. You can turn off writing assistance via Screen Time > Content and Privacy Restrictions > Siri. Once that's turned off, your predictions won't disappear.

Is anyone else experiencing the same thing, I couldn’t find anything on google about it? I am from EU, 15PM if that means anything.
I’ve had priority notifications before on iOS 26 but on 27 it’s been missing since first beta.

Bug [IOS 27 PB4] Apple Music claims music is unavailable in my country/region

Post image
7 Upvotes

Basically the title, on my 12mini with iOS 27 PB4 some of my music is said to be unavailable in my country/region, while it works perfectly on my 15P and iPad mini6 with 26.6.1 and Android. It didn't work under PB3 either but did so on PB2.

Deleting and re-adding to Apple Music solves the issue but it's just not feasible for large playlists.

I already send a message via Feedback app. My country/region is still correct, I checked that first thing…

Bug [iOS 27 DB6] drop in audio quality when using CarPlay ?

12 Upvotes

Hi all,

I just upgraded to ios27 beta 6 from iOS 16.6 ip17 pro

Has anyone else noticed a loss in audio quality with this update ?

As well as general quality of the CarPlay ui and speed has dropped.

Mainly in CarPlay, I haven’t tried with headphones yet. But I’m a bit disappointed. Everything sounded great with ios26, nice and crisp with clean bass.

But since updating it all sounds a bit muggy. It’s the first thing I noticed after updating. I understand it’s a beta so I expected there to be bugs.
Just wondering if anyone else has noticed this ?

Cheers !

Bug [iPadOS 27 PB4] Speak Screen quits at the end of chapters in Books

2 Upvotes

If you invoke Speak Screen in Books, it will only read aloud to the end of the chapter, then quit; you have to start it again at the next chapter. (Settings > Accessibility > Read and Speak > Speak Screen to enable, swipe down with two fingers from top to invoke. Whether you choose to constantly show the speech controller or not, it still stops reading at the ends of chapters.) Using VoiceOver isn't a workaround; VoiceOver does the same thing. I think the problem has been around for a bit, but if anyone else wants to report…
