Mine has more photos and screenshots missing in this RC. There’s no hope of Apple fixing the iMessage gallery. Super annoying
If it makes you feel any better, it happens on macOS as well. And it’s occurring with device generated screenshots, so it’s not like the file format is invalid.

If you click blank one, you can see the image, so it’s just not generating the previews.

At first I wanted to like 26 and tried to give it a chance but here we are at the 26.2 release candidate and ***** like this is still popping up and it seems like Apple knows not what it's doing 🤷

It does feel a little like they’re making it up as they go along.

I’m not sure how Federighi is still in charge with the state of iOS, Siri and apple AI to be honest.

I got photos sent to me yesterday and they don’t show up even blank in the gallery. They are missing entirely

And then the blank squares look like this:

Talk about missing the point. This is an RC release, which is basically identical to the final release (except for some recent examples where final got an updated build) and in any case, the same unpredictable behavior rings true for many final releases just as much as it does for the beta. Installing any IPSW these days is equivalent to playing Russian roulette with your phone, it doesn’t matter what kind of build it is classified as. None of this would even be in question if the trillion dollar tech company’s software wasn’t consistently broken and unusable.
I only install via IPSW… I just don’t use the crap tool you seem dead set on using… (even though you know it’s crap and complain about it constantly)

I don’t think I read a single positive comment from you about that tool. Please tell us what makes it so good that you KEEP going back to it?

1. It exists
This is the modern software that Apple makes for windows users to use so this is what I am stuck with, without resorting to 3rd party alternatives which I do not prefer
 
can someone please tell me if it's now possible to disable website tinting in safari?

in ios 26.1, it remained enabled even after being disabled in settings

I imagine you are having the same issues I have with my MS Windows 8 phone connecting to my M5 MacBook… just errors all the time and I am quite vocal on the MS forums about that too…
I feel your pain totally… I imagine it’s similar to my issues. I have a MS Windows 8 phone and have constant problems when updating with my M5 MacBook Pro. I am facing constant update issues…. I am very vocal on the MS forums about it. Keep reporting.

Battery life is still complete garbage on this RC. iPhone 15 Pro and I have most notifications and location stuff off in settings and AI off as well. This is my battery life on LTE.

Another alternative is to download a virtual machine and install macOS on it.

While another known third party tool isn’t exactly desirable to use at least it works (unlike apple devices lol)
