Sorry you’re experiencing those bugs. I haven’t had any of those issues, and can’t replicate them, so I can’t really help with any suggestions aside maybe try a clean reinstall.
Got a tip for us?

Officially full… again.
Hopefully apple changes their ways with Siri AI by September. I’d need 75-80gb of storage for base iPadOS plus a few apps, cookies, cache, etc at this point.
I updated my ipad M4 2 weeks ago to Ipad 27 and it is still indexing. Are others still the same?

My iPad M4 took almost a week and I had it plugged in most of the time (screen off in the evenings) which groupthink says improves the indexing time. My guess is it has less to do with how much space you use on the device and more about how much iCloud space you use (a lot in my case) and how complicated the data you store is for the new index.
A great deal of my storage space is taken up by photos and audio. I can't confirm yet (still waiting on New Siri) but it appears that the vectorized indexing also generates new metadata/keywording for those types of files to improve local search/AI. Perhaps that is your hold up too?

My 11" M5 iPad took about that long, my 13" M5 iPad took about a week and my iPhone is still not done indexing and I installed the developer beta on the first day!
there was known issue in beta 1 since day 1 that it might get stuck in indexing. todays build should fix it since apple said that its fixed in next build..

I installed the 2nd beta today and the indexing message was gone as soon as it started up.

I know, but we are on the iPadOS 27 forum, right?
I’ll ask again: Does iPadOS 27 still have the same padded left sidebar as seen on iPadOS 26 and macOS 26?
If anyone can share a screenshot to see how the Files App or the Photos app look in the latest iPadOS 27 beta…

Thanks! Yeah, it seems like padded sidebars are completely gone from iPadOS 27 too…
Ah ok.
Stream music from your iPhone instead? IDK...... just a thought. Not saying that rudely at all. Just genuinely didn't understand & trying to give ideas. 😎
Speaking of audio;
One of my absolute biggest complaints with the steaming pile of crap that is iOS 26; have you or anyone else had audio cracling / static & completely cut out on iOS 26?
Specifically for a split second before an alarm / alert / reminder is going to fire, and while the alarm / alert is chiming; it totally hijacks & cuts off phone audio.
Doesn't matter if I'm on cell, teams, meet, zoom; it's 100% iOS 26 (not to mention this awful behavior started the day I upgraded to 26....)
Just curious. I know taht's a separate thread. Really can't wait for 27 public beta......
Thanks!
Have you run the 27 beta on a phone, or only iPad?
I don't think I'm brave enough to install the public beta on my primary, working iPhone, but I'll definitely install it on my M1 iPad that was totally mangled by iOS 26.
Other than listed above; how's 27 compared to 26?
Performance, battery life, etc?

A bit more complicated use case is trying to use a music application (like a guitar amp simulator) while playing along to a song playing on a different app. I'd love to be able to grab my ipad and walk into a different room from my office and just play. Instead I am chained to my Mac.
