Apple Seeds iOS 27 and iPadOS 27 Second Betas to Developers

[AssassuN]

Impressed with this.
Basically fixed all the bugs I had in beta 1 (throttling/ choppiness, wifi and cellular dropping).

Only bug that persisted is the keyboard won’t pop up when I click on text boxes sometimes.

And it’s not super responsive sometimes. Takes a few taps to click into things.

And ofc, the choppy frame rate has persisted since iOS 26. I’m not sure how they never managed to fix that.

But otherwise, it feels considerably better than iOS 26 now, even in beta.

Same here, very impressed.
Fixed all 4 bugs I reported in beta 1.
The choppy home screen was there in every version of iOS 26 so this doesn’t count.
Sometimes there is tiny issue with gradient in the locked screen but can’t be even bothered reporting that.
Overall they’re doing amazing so far.

It must be because they started using Claude to write code and fix bugs😅 But seriously that’s probably first time when they started using AI to help coding, a year ago when they were working on iOS 26 that wasn’t a thing yet.

Just in the nick of time, beta 1 was crumbling fast after a solid start.

Please elaborate.

Nope every 2 weeks has been the standard until it gets closer to final release.

Seems like the beta 2 was always 3-4 weeks after the first? Then we moved every two weeks...

You are 100% right
It was good the first 2-3 days after that it went like a rocket to the abyss.

Agreed!

Connected but not receiving push notifications through the watch.. (S8)

I've had a couple of those with my S10 on Beta 1.

A hard reboot of the watch (holding crown and sidebutton in for 5 seconds or so), have fixed it for me.

In the new beta 2 I have no photo cleaning tools or extensions photos (in EU)

Invisible icons such as the camera button,

Please elaborate.

Invisible Icons, Carplay drop in and out, fake badge icons, etc. All was good for the first week. Not complaining, typical stuff for a B1.

For the invisible icons, remove the items from your Home Screen and add it back. Seems to have done the trick for me, at least.

All good, beta 2 took care of that......for now

If you want to know if your phone is still indexing now, just discovered that if you ask Siri to text someone, it might yield a screen like this

Anyone that has dual sim, have you noticed that calling a name using Siri doesn’t take into account your line preference and just calls using your first line?
