Installed beta on brand new iPad ✅

Never had issues with this Spotlight search on any of my iPhones.
Same here. I assume Spotlight is the thing/box which pops up when clicking or initiating a search?
Base iPhone 17, and it's instant.
My carrier is ok but iOS 26 tooks SECONDS not HOURS to see band and cid, that’s why it’s broken.
I don’t think I’ve seen the “show all results” before?
Also, is it only me who finds the recover photo modal a bit… bland?

Anyone experiencing more battery drain in this beta 3? Beta 2 was amazing for me, and since I installed Beta 3 I notice much more drain.
I had the phone connected to the charger while I was on phone, I had 100% , I disconnected it and literally two minutes after it went down to 96%. I restarted the phone and it went up to 99%

Been having issue with the reception. Not sure if due to the beta - but I have 2 sims (physical and an eSIM) and both are experiencing some issues, like the signal drops and then restores immediately. It also circles between 3G, 4G and 5G.
I did a reset of the network settings and it seems a bit better but still not quite there.
Let’s hope it’s a temporary issue.

I had a new to me bug this morning. My sleep focus alarm went off with no sound. I seem to remember folks mentioned that in earlier iOS 26 versions/betas. I reported it to Apple. It’s kind of crazy they’re this deep into the iOS 26 minor versions and betas and breaking the basics.
Yes. Had to google it as well. For me it’s the simple search. Use it sometimes but not a heavy user.
First of all I had no idea what exactly Spotlight is on an iPhone. Sounded so heavy first. It’s the simple search and it works fine and quick.
Yup. I just let it alarm again since I had only snoozed it this morning so far. No sound. Specifically, it alarms with no sound while in standby mode (landscape, powered, no motion, not looking at it). I let it alarm while holding it and it made the proper sound, including reducing the volume based on attention detection. This only started in beta 3.
you couldn't see how the screen at the bottom gets a little brighter?
Also, when I scroll through my Instagram, the screen gets lighter and then back, like at the video, even if it's not an HDR photo or video. Is this normal?
I bought my first iPhone and I’m worrying🥺🥺🥺
Help me please get a piece of advice
CarPlay does not load. At all.

On top of that, when being forced to run Maps directly on my phone, Siri is being cut off. She either is muted until the last word or two of a direction, or gets cut off after a few seconds.
I set a timer this morning and the phone was sitting next to me face up. When the timer went off, there was no sound and the slider didn't work. I noticed the always on display was dimmed, so I tapped it to wake it up, then the slider worked.
Not the exact same as your alarm, but a similar issue. FB21079107

Anyone here using 1Password having issues? Noticing it’s saying my device is offline, and re-connecting is not working in the app.
Edit: looks like an issue on their end.

I have a working theory about the alarm with no sound. On the charger, my Apple Watch had a message on it saying the iPhone was not in range (it was about 2" away from the iPhone). I took it off the charger and put it on my wrist. The watch then cycled through the no phone in range message, to a swirling constellation of dots usually shown during initial pairing, then to the main watch screen. The crazy thing is that when I went to unlock it it was already unlocked. That shouldn't happen, it should have been locked.
So, my working theory is that because the watch thought it was unlocked without being on a wrist, it gave alarm sound priority to the watch. I think that's the intended behavior for sleeping with the watch on. It's still not right that the watch thought it was unlocked (should have locked between wrist over to the charger last night, should have locked when I moved it from the charger to my wrist this morning). The watch is still on iOS 18, so not a beta issue on the watch, but maybe the beta on my iPhone set up some abnormal state.
I rebooted everything and I'll see what happens tomorrow morning.
