Will it let me hide the sidebar in iPad mail and read messages fullscreen again yet?

Does it still look and function as awful as 26.0.1?

The entire top section of Safari is completely transparent now, making it very difficult to use. M4 iPad Pro.

Also messages is buggy - backgrounds go away after a while in the chat window and it reverts to black (in dark mode).

Some serious UI bugs in this release.

Wireless CarPlay still broke. New feedback submitted. Wish I didn’t have a screen protector installed, would love to start on the hardware side… this is getting ridiculous.

I just installed a Hamilton CarPlay conversion kit in my ‘16 Toyota 4Runner … Pixel 8a / Android 16 / Android Auto work flawlessly (my backup phone) … while my primary phone, an iPhone 15PM / iOS 26.0.1 / CarPlay won’t hold a stable connection for more than 20 seconds

Whoever regression tested iOS 26 w/carplay integration at iApple needs to be iFired

Same issue on my M4 with favourite bar disappearing in day mode

Same here, I have dark mode on and favorites bar all but gone. tabs are now white with white text when a page with white background shown and hope you don’t get a white cookie alert box as their buttons are invisible.

Nah man It looks completely different and seems to be working very well. They are using liquid drops now instead.
