Apple Seeds Fourth Public Betas of iOS 26.1, iPadOS 26.1 and macOS Tahoe 26.1

[loby]

I'm still on Sequoia on main Mac but I've been on 26 beta VM's since the 1st dev beta released (still on 26.1 beta 3 though). I've not really had any stability issues with 26.x as a whole. If you can be more specific about where you're seeing stability issues I'd be happy to check a given scenario for you, but imo, 26.x has been pretty reliable if you can stomach LG on macOS. I'm not a fan so I've avoided the permanent jump. That said, not all features are available in VM's, so it's entirely possible that I've not encountered stability issues by virtue not being able to access features you're finding unstable.

**EDIT** You also didn't specify which OS, so apologies if you meant anything other than macOS

FWIW, I have seen significant improvements to the LG elements in macOS 26.1 in addition to other UI improvements (such as a much requested larger 'applications' window when using the new spotlight replacement for Launchpad etc). Imo macOS 26.1 is shaping up to be the release that 26.0 should have been. There's no love for 'large corner radius' haters though.




Although you didn't respond directly to me, I'm inferring from this post that the answer to my earlier question is a hard NO 🙁.

Sorry for not directly responding to you, I thought I did. Hope I answered the question. There were so many posts, and hard to follow.😅

I do not see a close button on my iPad. That was what I would expect of ipadOS would become more like macOS.View attachment 2571149
I did learn how I can reduce image file size in Preview.

That’s not what mine looks like. Are you by chance on “Full-Screen only” windowing mode? I keep mine on Stage Manager only and I have the traffic lights.

I find myself wishing I could delete messages. I solved my mouse problem myself.

Thanks, Indeed. If I set it to windowing mode i see the stoplight buttons, but then my email opens in a small Window and I first have to resize it to get a full screen view. That is even more work than closing it from the windows list.
What are the people at Apple thinking?
I want to be able to use my whole screen. Why is it called full screen mode if they make it more and more difficult to use my full screen?
